Sell Your House Without an Agent
You can sell a house without listing it. Here is an honest look at your options so you can choose what fits.
Your three main options
- List with an agent. Often brings the highest price on the open market. You typically pay a commission and handle repairs, showings, and buyer financing.
- Sell it yourself. You avoid a listing commission but take on pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation, and paperwork.
- Sell directly to a buyer like us. No listing, no showings, no repairs. Our price is usually below full market value in exchange for speed and simplicity.
Who handles the paperwork in a direct sale
We put our offer in a written purchase agreement. A title company handles the title search, closing documents, and payoff of any loans or liens. You are always welcome to have an attorney of your choice review the agreement before you sign.
When listing is the better choice
If your house is in good shape, you have time, and getting the highest possible price matters most, listing is often the better path. We will tell you if we think that is the case.
Be sure to compare. A direct offer may be lower than what you could get by listing on the open market. You are trading some price for convenience and certainty. We encourage you to weigh both.

Is a direct sale legal and safe?
Yes. The sale closes through a title company, which handles the money and records the deed.
