UNBIASED FINANCIAL COMPARISON CASH VS. OPEN MARKET

See Your Cash and Open-Market Options Side by Side

A cash offer can provide speed and certainty, but it may not produce the highest net proceeds. The Tennant Team helps qualified sellers compare available cash offers with an estimated open-market MLS sale so you can make an informed financial decision.

Objective Net Proceeds Analysis: We contrast gross offers, investor fees, repair credits, and net take-home equity.
Multiple Institutional & Private Cash Buyers: We solicit qualified offers on your behalf to create buyer competition.
Zero Pressure to Accept: You keep complete control over your home and transaction timeline.
Option to List if Numbers Warrant: If open-market proceeds are substantially higher, you can list smoothly starting at 1%.

Charles Rutenberg Realty is the licensed brokerage. We do not personally purchase every property. A cash offer is not guaranteed unless and until a qualified purchaser issues a written contractual commitment.

CASH COMPARISON FAQ

Cash vs. Open-Market Sale FAQ

Does The Tennant Team personally buy the property?

No. The Tennant Team at Charles Rutenberg Realty acts as your licensed real estate advisor. We solicit and evaluate qualified cash offers from multiple vetted institutional and private purchasers to ensure you receive the most competitive cash terms possible, while contrasting them against your open-market equity potential.

Is a cash offer guaranteed?

No. A cash offer is not guaranteed unless and until a qualified purchaser issues a written offer or contractual purchase commitment. Offer terms, fees, deductions, inspections and closing requirements will be disclosed before acceptance.

How much less do cash buyers typically offer?

Most institutional and investor cash purchasers discount properties between 12% and 20% below estimated fair market value to account for repair risks, holding expenses, and profit margin. Our side-by-side analysis reveals whether that convenience discount makes financial sense for your specific situation.
