The Cash Offer gives sellers an upfront cash payout and a chance to benefit from the resale of their property. It includes two transactions: the initial cash purchase and the resale.
- Sellers get fast cash upfront for immediate needs.
- They can still profit from the resale’s upside.
- Agents earn 4% total commission across both transactions.
This offer combines the speed of cash with the value of resale.
Transaction 1: The Initial Purchase
The buyer/investor buys the property for cash.
-
The seller receives their first payout, which is the cash offer minus:
A 6% program fee (paid to the buyer).
-
A 5.5% resale fee, which includes:
4% commission for the agent (you earn 2% upfront, then 2% on the resale).
1.5% resale closing costs.
A reserve held back to cover risks during the resale process.
This payout allows the seller to:
Move out of the property.
Pay off their mortgage (if any).
Make a down payment on their next home.
Agent earnings: You earn 2% commission on the total purchase price.
Transaction 2: The Resale
The buyer hires you as the listing agent to resell the property on the open market.
-
The seller receives their second payout, which includes:
The reserve amount held during the first transaction.
Any additional profit if the property sells for more than the original cash offer.
Agent earnings: You earn another 2% commission on the resale price.
