Selling a home in San Diego County
The best selling route depends on the house, the timing and how much work you want to take on. Compare what a traditional listing could require with a written offer based on the property's condition today.
Start with the property, not the sales pitch
A house that is ready to list, an inherited home with years of deferred maintenance, and a property occupied by tenants call for different decisions. An agent may offer broader market exposure. An as-is cash offer can give you another number to compare before scheduling repairs or showings.
2. Compare what you keep
Put repairs, selling costs, possible concessions and holding costs alongside each written offer. The highest sale price need not produce the highest proceeds.
3. Review the terms
Look at deposits, closing expenses, property review rights and the agreed timeline before signing a contract.
