Cash Buyer vs iBuyer vs Realtor
These are three different jobs.
- Local cash buyer (us). One walkthrough, written as-is offer, title-company close, you pick the date. We buy houses.
- iBuyer. An instant online number from a national brand. Fine when the house fits their box. Fees, re-inspections, and lock periods vary. Read their contract. We do not speak for them.
- Realtor listing. Best when the house shows well and you can wait. Cash offer vs listing is the side-by-side.
Use this page for the three-way split; the compare page is the cash-vs-listing net sheet.
What usually changes for a St. Louis seller
| Local cash | iBuyer | Realtor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you meet | David or Mike | Often a process, not a neighbor | An agent you hire |
| Repairs | As-is | Depends on their inspection | Often expected |
| Close | About 2 weeks typical | Their window | Loan + days on market |
| Fee | No seller commission from us | Their fee schedule | Negotiable commission |
iBuyer fees vary by company, compare the written net, not a generic percent. Read the offer you actually receive.
