RED HomeSale360™
Compare seven ways to approach your home sale. Review the preparation, timing, costs, and moving arrangements involved, then discuss which options may be available for your property.
Start with what matters most to you
Consider what you want to keep after costs, how much preparation you want to take on, and when you need to move.
Estimated net proceeds
What you may keep after applicable mortgage and lien payoffs, selling expenses, and deductions.
Repairs and preparation
The work, staging, and preparation each approach may involve before sale.
Closing and possession timing
When the sale closes and when possession of the home changes.
Your next move
How the sale coordinates with finding, financing, and moving to your next home.
These are discussion priorities, not eligibility decisions or automatic recommendations.

MarketMax vs. As Is
Both involve open-market exposure. MarketMax uses a tailored listing and presentation strategy. As Is emphasizes selling in current condition without major renovations.
As Is vs. CashNow
As Is markets the property to open-market buyers. CashNow explores a direct cash offer. A listing can also receive offers from cash buyers.
Refresh vs. As Is
Refresh evaluates improvements before listing. As Is avoids major renovations. Compare the expected financial result after the work, costs, and additional time.
HomeSwap vs. BuyFirst
HomeSwap describes a trade-in arrangement. BuyFirst describes purchasing before selling. An available arrangement may overlap, but the structure must be confirmed.
StayFlex
StayFlex concerns temporary occupancy after selling. It does not automatically establish the sale method, price, closing speed, or right to remain.
