Cash Sale vs. Traditional Listing

What each option typically involves for a Memphis homeowner.

Item	Selling to Greater TN Homes	Listing with an agent
Commissions and fees	None	Commission usually paid by the seller
Closing costs	We pay them	Often shared by the seller
Inspection and financing contingencies	None	Common; some deals fall through
Appraisal	Not needed, it’s a cash offer	Usually required by the buyer’s lender
Time to an offer	After one short walkthrough	Depends on the market and the buyer
Showings	One visit, just us	As many as it takes
Closing date	The date you choose	Set by the contract and the lender’s timeline
Repairs	None. We buy as-is and handle repairs after closing	Negotiated after the buyer’s inspection

When listing makes more sense

If your house is in move-in condition and you don’t mind getting it market-ready, keeping it show-ready and waiting through the full traditional process to chase the highest possible price, an agent and the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) may be the better route.

When a direct cash sale fits better

If the house needs work, you inherited it, it has tenants, or you’re on a deadline, selling directly is usually simpler. We are the buyer, there’s no loan that can fall through, and you never clean, repair or stage anything.
