Sell vs. list
Sell to Us or List with an Agent?
Both can be the right choice. Here's an honest side-by-side so you can decide what fits your house and your timeline.
| Sell to Prestige | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions and fees | None | Typically 5% to 6% of the sale price |
| Repairs and updates | None, we buy as-is | Often required to sell or pass the buyer's inspection |
| Cleaning and showings | None | Keep the house show-ready for weeks or months |
| Closing costs | We typically pay them | Seller often pays 1% to 3% |
| Time to close | As little as 5 business days | Often 60 to 90 days or more, including time on the market |
| Financing risk | None, we pay cash | Deals can fall through if the buyer's loan is denied |
| Closing date | You choose | Set by the buyer's lender |
| Best for | Speed, certainty, and houses that need work | Updated houses where you have time to wait for top dollar |
Agent figures are typical ranges, not quotes. Your costs depend on your agent, your house, and your market.
