Choose the Selling Option That Works Best for You
Sell Fast. List for More. Compare Both.
Not every homeowner needs the same solution. Some people need to sell quickly for cash. Others have enough time to list their home and pursue the highest reasonable market price. And some aren't sure which option will leave them with more money when everything is said and done.
The Home Defenders helps you compare your options before you decide.
No obligation. No pressure to sell.

(786)-416-6767Speed and Certainty, or the Highest Price?
Need speed, simplicity and certainty?
A cash/as-is sale may be the right fit if you need to sell quickly, the property needs repairs, you're facing foreclosure, or you simply don't want to deal with a traditional sale. Depending on your property and situation, you may be able to:
- Sell as-is
- Avoid major repairs
- Avoid repeated showings
- Avoid traditional buyer financing delays
- Choose a faster closing
- Sell a vacant, inherited or distressed property
- Avoid the uncertainty of putting the property on the market
Have more time and want to pursue a higher price?
If your property is a good candidate for the retail market, listing it may produce a higher sale price than selling directly to an investor. Listing may make sense if:
- Maximizing your sale price is the priority
- You have enough time to market the property
- The property is in reasonable condition
- You're comfortable with showings
- There's enough time for a traditional buyer to close
- The additional potential proceeds justify the extra time and costs
Let Us Compare Them.
You shouldn't choose between a cash offer and listing based only on the number at the top of an offer. The real question is: How much will I actually walk away with?
| Cash / As-Is | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster | Usually slower |
| Repairs | Often none | May be needed |
| Showings | Minimal | Usually required |
| Buyer financing | Typically none | Often required |
| Convenience | Higher | More involvement |
| Sale price | Typically lower | Potentially higher |
| Selling costs | Depends on transaction | Commissions and other costs may apply |
| Certainty | Generally higher with verified cash | Depends on buyer/financing |
Don't automatically choose the highest price. Don't automatically choose the fastest offer.
Choose the option that gives you the best overall outcome.
You Don't Have to Fix Everything First.
Depending on the property, you may be able to sell exactly as it sits.
Before spending thousands of dollars fixing a property you're planning to sell anyway, find out what an as-is sale could look like.
- Roof problems
- Old kitchens
- Outdated bathrooms
- Code violations
- Water damage
- Tenant damage
- Major cleanout
- Deferred maintenance
- Inherited properties full of belongings
Selling Before Foreclosure May Still Be an Option.
If you're behind on your mortgage or already facing foreclosure, timing matters.
Selling the property before foreclosure is completed may allow you to pay required mortgage and property obligations through closing and retain available seller proceeds after required payoffs and transaction expenses.
Most importantly, a voluntary sale can give you more control over the transaction and your next move. Already have a foreclosure sale date? Tell us immediately.
You Don't Have to Keep a House You Don't Want.
Inherited properties can come with repairs, mortgages, taxes, family decisions, probate issues and years of accumulated belongings.
Depending on your situation, we can help you evaluate whether it makes more sense to sell it quickly as-is, or prepare and list it for the market.
Before putting money into an inherited property, understand what each option could produce.
Because we're not going to pretend every home should be sold the same way.
A company that only buys houses has an incentive to tell you to accept a cash offer. Someone who only lists houses has an incentive to tell you to list. We believe you should start with the numbers.
Then you can compare the available options and decide. Your house. Your money. Your decision.
Four Steps. You Choose.
