Selling to Fresh Start Home Solutions  VS 
Working with a Realtor

Which Option Makes the Most Sense for You?

🏡 Working with a Realtor

Listing with a realtor is often presented as the best way to get top dollar—but it comes at a cost, and not just financially.

  • Time-Consuming: Expect the full process to take 4–6 months, sometimes longer.
     

  • Costly: Around 6% in commissions, plus 2% in closing fees, and upfront repair/staging expenses.
     

  • Inconvenient: The home must be cleaned, staged, and available for showings at a moment’s notice.
     

  • Uncertain: Deals can fall apart due to inspections, appraisals, or buyer financing.
     

  • Stressful: Multiple rounds of negotiation, contractor coordination, and paperwork.
     

For sellers with time, flexibility, and cash to invest in repairs, this route may result in a higher sale price—but there are no guarantees.

💰 Selling with Fresh Start Home Solutions

Selling directly with Fresh Start Home Solutions is a completely different experience—and often the right one for those who value speed, simplicity, and certainty.

  • Fast Closings: In many cases, the sale can be completed in 7–14 days.
     

  • No Commissions or Hidden Fees: What’s offered is what’s paid—no surprises at closing.
     

  • Sell As-Is: No repairs, no cleaning, no staging—properties are bought in any condition.
     

  • No Showings: Avoid dozens of strangers walking through the home.
     

  • Simple Process: One decision, one contract, and clear next steps.
     

For owners dealing with inherited homes, problem tenants, deferred maintenance, or simply needing a fast, hassle-free sale, this route can save months of work and thousands in costs.

🔍 Which Option is Right for You?

If you have the time, money, and patience to go through the traditional process—and are okay with the uncertainty—working with a realtor might be worth considering.

But if your goal is speed, simplicity, and a guaranteed sale, selling directly to an investor can eliminate all the headaches while still putting cash in your pocket.
