There's More Than One Way to Sell Your House.
Most homeowners only ever hear one: take the cash offer or list it. There are six. We'll show you all of them, tell you which one pays you the most, and hand you the catches before the numbers.
No fees, no obligation, and no one leaning on you at your kitchen table.
Two minutes with James & Lauren
Why we show people all six ways
James and Lauren on the two-minute version of what we do and why.
Why this matters
One offer is never the whole story
Three things almost nobody tells a homeowner before they sign.
Most sellers only ever hear one option
A cash offer answers exactly one question: how fast can I be done. If your real problem is a payment you can't make or a price no buyer will reach with today's rates, a cash offer is the wrong tool — and five better ones exist.
Your 3% mortgage may be worth more than your equity
A low fixed rate you locked years ago is money in motion. Pay that loan off at closing and the value evaporates. Leave it in place and it can buy you a higher price, a faster exit, or both.
The cons come first, in writing
Every one of these paths has a catch — a balloon date, a loan that stays in your name, money you wait for instead of collecting at closing. We hand you the catches before the numbers, and we never charge you a dollar to look.
The six ways
Six steady ways to sell — pick the one that fits
Each one solves a different problem, and each one has a downside worth knowing. Tap any of them for the plain-English version: what you'd walk away with, how long it takes, and what to watch out for.
Cash Sale
Fast, as-is, certain
The only option most sellers ever hear about — and the one that pays the least. Worth taking when a firm date matters more than the last dollar.

We take over the payments
Your 3% mortgage can be worth more than your equity. Here we keep that loan alive and take over the payments, so you stop paying without taking a price cut.

Seller Financing (Installment Sale)
You become the bank
You keep your full asking price and collect a monthly payment instead of a lump sum. The house is sold; the income isn't done.
See how it works
Novation (Partner Sale)
Near-retail without the hassle
The repairs get done and you never write a check for them. Your number is agreed before the first crew shows up, and the deed stays yours until closing.

Rent-to-Own / Lease-Option
Decide later, at a set price
You don't have to decide today. We lease it, maintain it, and lock a price now for a purchase later — so time works for you instead of against you.

Traditional Listing
When retail really is best
Sometimes the open market simply pays more than we can, and we'll say so out loud. Lauren Frohman, the licensed Realtor in our family, takes it from there.

The steady way to sell
- 1
Tell us what's actually going on
Fifteen minutes on the phone, or five questions online. What the house is like, what's still owed on it, and what has to be true for you by what date.

See all six options on one page
Real numbers, real timelines, and the honest downside of each one — written down, so you can read it at your kitchen table with nobody sitting across from you.

Pick the path, even if it isn't us
If the open market nets you more, we say so and Lauren, the licensed Realtor in our family, takes it from there. We'd rather be the people who told you the truth than the people who bought your house.
