Selling Directly To Surety Homebuyers vs. Listing With An Agent

Even in a seller’s market, exploring your options is a smart move to ensure you achieve your goals when selling your Florida home. While listing with a local agent might bring a higher sales price, it doesn’t always translate to more money in your pocket or a smoother process. Take a closer look below to compare your selling options and find the best fit for your needs.

Benefits of selling directly

to Surety Homebuyers

Our Cash Offer Program

Sell your house to Surety Homebuyers

We'll make you a fair cash offer so you can sell without the hassles and stress of listing.

  • Competitive Cash Offer Within 24 Hours

Tell us about your house and we'll carefully evaluate it with our local market expertise to provide you with a fair, no-obligation cash offer.

  • No Showings - No Hassles

We buy your house "as-is" so there are no open houses, no weekend showings, and no need to fix it up.

  • You Choose Your Closing Date

Once we make an offer, we are able to close in days, not months. You pick the date that is best for you. We can close on a timeline that works best for you.

  • We Pay All Closing Costs

Closing costs can add up, which is why we cover them for you. Absolutely zero extra costs of hidden fees or service charges.

  • Zero Fees. Zero Commissions

Since we're buying your house, we charge no fees and no commissions. The sales price is the amount that goes into your pocket.

  • We'll Cover Any Repairs

Does your house need repairs? We'll handle them for you. You can even leave behind unwanted items and we'll haul them off at no extra charge.

  • Inspection & Financing Contingency*

None needed, we are cash buyers, so we don't need to rely on or wait for financing to be approved.

The traditional way

Listing your house with an agent

The amount of time, money, and stress involved with listing your house add up.

  • The Months It Takes to Sell Add Up

Your home is costing you money the entire time it sits on the market. Some people just can't wait 90 days to sell their house.

  • Plenty Of Showings and Disruption to Your Life

Not only do you have to get your house ready to show, but the number of showings can provide a serious disruption to your life.

  • It Takes Forever to Close

It takes anywhere from 30 to 60 days to close after accepting a buyer's offer. That's assuming that their financing doesn't fall through...

  • 1-2 % In Closing Costs Paid By You, The Seller

On average, a seller is responsible for up to 2% of the sales price in the form of closing costs.

  • Fees and Commissions Stack up

In addition to the closing costs, commissions and fees stack up and reduce how much goes in your pocket at close. On average, 6% in commissions/fees are paid by the seller.

  • You Could Be On The Hook For Repairs

Depending on what pops up during the inspection period, you could be on the hook for repairs that you didn't know you needed.

  • Yes, sales can fall through

A closing may fall through for many reasons, including title-insurance surprises, buyer financing rejections, inspection failures, and lowball appraisals.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Here at Surety Homebuyers, we don’t use bank financing, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
