Sell as-is to a reputable home buyer that can close with a title company.
This removes repairs, showings, and financing risk. Have docs ready, allow a quick walkthrough, and pick a closing date that fits your move for the fastest path to funds

Use a layered approach: start with an AVM estimate, verify with recent comps, then get a CMA or appraisal for precision. AVMs are quick but have error margins and may miss renovations; comps ground you in local reality; a CMA or licensed appraisal provides the tightest range. Always compare net (price minus repairs, fees, and time).

Sell directly to a cash buyer or go FSBO with professional closing support.
Set price via AVM + comps/CMA, make required disclosures, hire a real-estate attorney if needed, open escrow with a title company, handle payoff/HOA demands, and close. A direct cash sale simplifies most of this.

It depends on whether you value speed and certainty more than squeezing every last dollar out of the sale. Home prices remain near records but are cooling (forecasts range from roughly +1.7% to +3% year-over-year, while some models point to a mild ~–1.7% dip over the next 12 months), inventory is building toward a more balanced market, and 30-year mortgage rates around ~6.5–6.7% are still keeping affordability tight (meaning buyer demand is selective until rates fall materially; some expect 15-year rates to drift toward ~5.5% later in 2025, but widespread affordability would likely need something closer to ~4.4%). Days on market have stretched (about two months on average, the longest since 2017), regional risks exist—especially for pandemic-era purchases in pockets like Austin or Tampa—and high-rate sensitivity has big investors warning against overexposure. If you need money quickly, have equity, and want a sure outcome, selling now—especially as-is to a reputable home buyer closing through a title company—can make sense even if the headline price is lower, because you trade time, repairs, and uncertainty for immediate liquidity.

Many are legitimate; vet them.
Look for written, no-obligation offers, no surprise fees, proof of funds, closings at reputable title companies, clear explanation of pricing, strong reviews, and no pressure tactics. Walk away from urgency tricks or vague contracts.

There’s no universal “best”—pick by capability and transparency.
Prioritize: clear, written offers; as-is purchases; flexible closing/possession; ability to handle liens, code issues, or tenants; closings at trusted title companies; strong reviews; and no-pressure communication. Consider QA Home Buyers as one of your best options.
