Sellers focus on sale price, but net proceeds are what actually matter. Removing repairs and commissions can close much of the gap between cash and a listing.
This page is part of the Cash Home Buyers Long Island guide. A cash offer trades some price for speed and certainty — we always show you the honest tradeoff.
Eliminating Commissions
A traditional sale typically costs 5–6% in commissions. A direct cash sale usually eliminates them entirely, keeping more of the price in your pocket.
Skipping Repairs and Prep
No pre-listing repairs, staging, or cleaning. You sell as-is, so the money and weeks you'd spend preparing stay with you.
Your True Net
Compare true nets: list price minus commissions, repairs, staging, and carrying costs versus the cash offer. Often closer than expected — see is a cash offer worth it.
The right comparison is money in your pocket at the end — not the sticker price. Commissions and repairs can swing that by tens of thousands.
