Selling to us vs. listing with an agent
Listing often gets a higher price. Selling to us gets you speed and certainty. Here's the honest comparison.
| Westwell | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions | None | Typically 5% to 6% |
| Repairs and cleaning | None. Sell as-is. | Usually needed to get top price |
| Showings | One walkthrough | Open houses and showings for weeks |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Seller usually pays 1% to 2% |
| Time to close | As few as 2 weeks, or your date | Often 60 to 90 days after listing |
| Risk of falling through | Low. No lender, no appraisal. | Financing and inspection can kill it |
| Price | Below retail, fair for the condition | Highest, if the house shows well |
We show you the math
We start with what the house would sell for once it's fixed up, then subtract the real cost of the work, holding costs and our margin. You see every line.
We're real estate investors, not agents. Depending on the property, we buy it ourselves or partner with another investor and assign our purchase contract to them. Your price and closing date don't change either way, and we disclose this in writing before you sign anything, as Texas law requires.
- Value after repairs
- $420,000
- Repairs (roof, HVAC, kitchen, floors)
- − $68,000
- Resale costs and holding
- − $38,000
- Investor margin
- − $36,000
- Example cash offer
- $278,000
Example only. Every house is different. No commission comes out of your offer, and we pay the closing costs.
An owner who has been on your side of the table
Westwell is a small business run by its owner, a real estate investor since 2018. In that time we've owned long-term rentals and short-term rentals, and bought and sold houses ourselves.
So we know what it takes to sell a house, deal with tenants and repairs, and get to a closing table. That's why our offers come with the math behind them, and why the person you talk to is the person who makes the decision.
What sellers ask us
Do I have to clean out the house?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle it after closing.
Are there any fees?
No commissions and no fees. We pay the normal title company closing costs.
Can you buy if I'm behind on my mortgage or there's a lien?
Usually, yes. Liens and back payments are paid off at closing through the title company. The sooner you call, the more options you have.
What if a tenant lives there?
We buy rentals with tenants in place, including month-to-month and problem tenants.
Am I obligated if I ask for an offer?
No. If the number doesn't work for you, say no. We'll still tell you what we'd do in your position.
Who handles the closing?
A licensed Texas title company. They hold the money, handle the paperwork and pay you directly.
Curious what your house would get?
A written offer in 24 hours. No obligation.
