The Real Cost of Listing a House vs. Selling Direct in Arizona

Thinking of listing your house in Arizona? Before you call an agent, it's worth knowing what you're actually signing up for.

Selling with a realtor and going the traditional route can cost more than you expect, especially if your home needs repairs, you're in a time crunch, or you just want to avoid the hassle. Here's how listing stacks up against selling direct to a local cash buyer.

The Real Costs Behind a Traditional Listing

On paper, listing with an agent sounds simple: clean up the house, put it on the market, and wait for a buyer. But sellers across Arizona are often shocked by how quickly costs add up.

  • Agent Commission: Typically 5% to 6% of the final sale price. That's $15,000 on a $250,000 home.
  • Closing Costs: Often 1% to 3%, which sellers usually pay.
  • Repairs & Cleaning: Pre-listing repairs, inspections, deep cleaning, landscaping, and staging.

"Straight-up, easy to work with."

When I inherited the house from my uncle and wanted to sell, I was confused and didn't know what to expect, but Kevin made the whole process quick and painless. He was straight-up and easy to work with. I never felt pushed, and I walked away feeling good about the deal.

"Genuinely recommend."

Purple Stars

This was nothing like dealing with agents. I've had previous not so good experiences selling with agents so I was skeptical. Imagine my shock when I found out there were no open houses, and no need for repairs. Just an offer and a quick close. I genuinely recommend Your Caring Home Buyer to anyone.

I needed to sell my house in Gilbert fast, and they delivered. I got an offer the same day I called. Closed in a week. Kevin even helped me connect with movers. The whole experience was fast and satisfying.

It's Not Just About Money, It's About Certainty

  • You know exactly what you're walking away with
  • You don't have to worry about buyer financing delays
  • You control the timeline instead of waiting on agents or lenders

For homeowners in probate or legal delays, that control makes a big difference. See more in: Can You Sell a House That’s in Probate in Arizona?

 

When Selling Direct Makes the Most Sense

If you're dealing with any of the following, the cash option is usually the better fit:

  • Your house needs work and you don't want to fix it

  • You're relocating on short notice
  • You just want to avoid the back-and-forth of traditional sales
