Understanding a direct home sale
A plain-language overview of what a direct conversation with a buyer can involve.
A direct sale starts with a conversation
A direct home sale generally means you are speaking with a potential buyer rather than listing through that buyer. The first conversation is an opportunity to learn whether a direct offer is something you want to consider.
An inquiry is not a commitment
Asking questions or requesting an offer does not require you to sell. You decide whether to continue after you have enough information to evaluate the next step.
Understand the agreement before you sign
If you receive documents or an offer, take time to read them and ask questions. You may wish to seek legal, financial, tax, or real-estate advice from an independent professional before making a decision.
