Which Actually Nets You More?

Here's a realistic comparison for a typical OKC home — so you can see the actual difference in your pocket.

💵 Cash Sale Scenario
Based on $250,000 home value
Cash offer received$215,000
Agent commissions$0
Repair costs$0
Staging / cleaning$0
Carrying costs (taxes, insurance)~$0
Net to seller~$213,000
Closes in 10 days. Zero repairs. Zero showings. Zero stress.
🏡 MLS Listing Scenario
Based on $250,000 home value
List price / sale price$250,000
Agent commissions (5.5%)−$13,750
Repairs / prep−$6,000
Staging / cleaning−$1,500
2 months carrying costs−$3,200
Net to seller~$225,550
Closes in ~45 days. Prep work required. Multiple showings.

In this example, listing nets ~$12,500 more — but takes 45+ days, requires $7,500+ in upfront costs, and carries the risk of a buyer's financing falling through. Sam will show you the real math for your specific home so you can make a genuinely informed decision.
