Selling on the market with an agent versus selling directly to Aurore Holdings for cash.
| Selling Factor | Selling On The Market | Cash Offer From Aurore Holdings |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees | 6% on average is paid by you, the seller | No commissions or agent fees when you sell directly to Aurore Holdings for cash |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | Aurore Holdings covers the standard closing costs |
| Inspection & Buyer Contingency | Yes, sales can fall through after inspections or buyer delays | No lender contingency and a much lower chance of the sale falling through |
| Appraisal Needed | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal | No appraisal needed for a direct cash sale |
| Average Days Until Sold | Often 60-90 days, plus time to close after accepting an offer | Can close in as little as 7 days |
| Number of Showings | Multiple showings, open houses, and buyer appointments | One, just us |
| Closing Date | 30 to 60+ days after accepting the buyer's offer | The date of your choice |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Often negotiated during the inspection period | We buy as-is and handle repairs after closing |
Commission and closing cost figures above are typical national averages and will vary by market, agent, and transaction. An inspection contingency gives a buyer time to inspect the property and potentially back out or renegotiate if repairs are needed.
Selling on the market can make sense when your main goal is the highest possible retail price. The tradeoff is that you may need to prepare the home, handle showings, negotiate repairs, wait on the buyer's process, and pay commissions and closing costs out of your proceeds.
While the house is listed and under contract, you may still be paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care, and maintenance.
A direct cash sale is built for speed, certainty, and convenience. You do not need to clean, repair, stage, or host repeated showings. We review the property, make a cash offer, and let you choose the closing date that works for you.
If you accept our offer, there are no commissions, no agent fees, no standard closing costs paid by you, and no lender appraisal process slowing things down.
Direct Cash Sale Benefits
From offer to close and cash in hand, we can move quickly when timing matters. That helps you avoid more utility payments, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and the stress of holding a property longer than necessary.
Do not worry about fixing, cleaning, staging, or showing your house again and again. We buy houses in all kinds of condition, from clean and move-in ready to complete fixer-upper projects.
When you sell directly to Aurore Holdings for cash, we cover the standard closing costs. What we offer is what you get, minus any mortgage payoff or other liens tied to the property.
Traditional sales can fall apart because of inspections, appraisals, or buyer hesitation. A direct cash sale gives you a cleaner path and a closing date you can plan around.
A cash sale usually comes in below full retail price. What you get in exchange is speed, certainty, no repairs, no showings, and fewer costs. For some sellers that tradeoff is clearly worth it. For others it is not, and we will tell you straight if we think listing would serve you better.
