How long does it take to sell my house without a realtor in Houston?

The fastest cash sale closes in 7-14 days. Most of our Houston clients close in 14-21 days. Traditional MLS sales average 45-90 days plus another 30-45 days for closing. Selling directly saves 2-3 months and avoids months of showings and uncertainty.

What fees are there when selling without a realtor to a cash buyer?

Zero fees. No realtor commission (saves 5-6%). No closing costs on your side (we pay them). No repair costs. No staging fees. The cash offer is what you receive at closing — period.

Is selling to a cash buyer less money than using a realtor?

Cash offers are typically 10-15% below retail market value. But when you subtract the 5-6% realtor commission, repair costs, carrying costs (mortgage, insurance, taxes during the 3-6 month sales process), and closing costs, many Houston sellers net more from a direct cash sale than from a traditional listing.
