Every option, side by side
The three realistic paths, compared on what usually decides it: time, money, and certainty.
| Compare | Turn equity into cash (sell to us) | List with an agent | Keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeline | As little as 2-3 weeks once title is clear | Typically 2–4 months | Varies |
| Repairs needed | None | Often required | You fund them |
| Fees and commissions | None when we buy | Commissions + closing costs | Contractor costs |
| Showings | None | Many | None |
| Certainty of closing | No mortgage contingency, so there's no lender approval to fall through | Depends on buyer financing | n/a |
| Best for | Speed and simplicity | Maximum price with time and funds | Staying in the home |

Local expertise
DC, Maryland, and Virginia rules are different, and we know them: notice periods, probate, tenant law, and closing practice.
