Compare your options

Cash offer vs. listing with an agent

Cost or factor	Cash sale	Traditional listing
Agent commissions	Usually none	Commonly 5%–6% of the price, set by agreement
Seller-paid closing costs	Often paid by the buyer — get it in writing	Commonly 1%–3%, plus any state transfer tax
Repairs and pre-sale prep	Sold as-is in most cash contracts	Paid by the seller before listing
Showings, staging, photos	None	Seller's cost and time
Holding costs while unsold	Days, not months	Mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities until closing
Offer price	Below full retail market value	Market value, if it sells and appraises
Typical time to close	About 1–4 weeks	About 2–3 months from listing to closing
Certainty	No financing or appraisal contingency in a true cash deal	Can fall through on financing, appraisal, or inspection

These are typical ranges for each type of sale, not a quote from any company. A cash sale trades a lower price for speed, certainty, and fewer costs. Ask every buyer for the net amount you would receive at closing, in writing, before you compare offers.

“Recently, our property was sold to Tomas from the Windy City HomeBuyer. I negotiated with at least 8 different companies involved in home purchases as a business. I decided on Windy City HomeBuyer for the way they presented their business operation. I dealt almost entirely with Tomas. Problems occurred due to the prior owner/deeds for the property. It took a very long time to go through court to get the judge to issue an order to sell property. During this time Tomas understo”

Austin Gwaltney6 months ago

“If only I could give Windy City Home Buyers 6 Stars they would deserve it!! These guys go above and beyond for their clients. Tomas has a wealth of knowledge in the process of selling homes and guided us every step of the way. If you need to sell a home fast in the Chicagoland area and need someone you can trust, I would recommend reaching out to these guys!”

Rebeca Felipe-Castro (Beca)a year ago

“My experience selling a property to a company that facilitates quick property purchases was highly positive. Tomas's professionalism was evident from the outset; he maintained excellent communication via phone and email, accommodating my out-of-state location. The sale was expedited, closing just a few days after the tenants vacated. I especially appreciated Tomas's patience and his willingness to go above and beyond.”

Synita Booker-Capler2 years ago

“I found Windy City HomeBuyer through a BBB search. They were rated high and deserve the rating. Tomas followed up with my inquiry within hours of me putting in an inquiry. I closed on my house within 21 days because their offer was fair. Tomas was professional, a no-haggle professional, and he was kind and forthcoming when negotiating the deal. I'd recommend Tomas and Windy City HomeBuyer to others.”

rima paulius5 years ago

“We bought our first house through Tomas. I would recommend him to anyone. He was knowledgeable, thorough, timely and best of all, very down to earth. He listened to what we wanted and made sure he found us the perfect home. He is so personable and makes the whole process very easy. A great experience!”
