Selling to a Local Cash Buyer vs. Listing With an Agent in South Metro Atlanta: Net Proceeds Breakdown

The best way to compare a local cash buyer with a traditional real estate listing is not the offer price. It's the amount of money you actually keep after repairs, commissions, closing costs, holding costs, and other selling expenses.

A $350,000 listing price can look better than a $300,000 cash offer.

But what if the $350,000 house needs $30,000 in repairs, $10,000 in preparation, months of mortgage payments, and negotiated buyer concessions?

Suddenly, the difference isn't nearly as large.
