A direct offer can look simple: one buyer, no open houses, a stated price, and a proposed closing date.
But the terms determine whether that simplicity lasts.
Before signing, compare:
• What you will actually keep
• How the buyer will fund the purchase
• Whether the buyer can renegotiate after inspection
• Every contingency and cancellation right
• Who pays the closing expenses
• Whether “as-is” still permits additional requests
• The closing, possession, and extension dates
• What happens if the buyer cannot perform
A lower direct offer can sometimes produce a stronger net result. A traditional listing can sometimes produce substantially more through broader exposure.
The right decision depends on the complete agreement and what you need the sale to accomplish.
