If you’re considering selling your home, you may wonder whether to list it on the market or sell directly to a builder. Each option has its pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your priorities.
Listing Your Home on the Market
Selling through a real estate agent means:
- Time Commitment – Homes can take months to sell.
- Renovations & Staging – Buyers expect modern updates.
- Agent Fees & Closing Costs – These can reduce your final profit.
- Uncertain Closing – Deals can fall through due to inspections or financing.
Selling to a Builder Like MN Custom Homes
If you want a simpler, faster option, selling directly to a builder offers:
- No Repairs Needed: Sell your home in its current condition—no updates or renovations required.
- Flexible Closing Timeline: Pick a closing date that aligns with your plans, whether you need time to prepare for a move or are ready to act quickly.
- Earnest Money Support: We release earnest money upon project approval to help with moving expenses, your next purchase, or anything else.
- No Realtor Fees: Save money and avoid the costs of a traditional market listing.
Which Option is Right for You?
If you’re open to a longer process and don’t mind handling repairs, staging, and agent fees, listing on the market could be an option. But if you prefer a stress-free, straightforward sale with no fees or repairs, selling to a builder like MN Custom Homes could be the best choice.
