Not every home — or homeowner — is best served by the same selling option. This quick quiz helps you decide whether listing with an agent or selling privately may be a better fit for your situation.
1. What matters MOST to you when selling your home?
A. Getting the highest possible price, even if it takes time
B. Selling quickly and avoiding uncertainty
2. What condition is your home in right now?
A. Updated, clean, and ready for showings
B. Needs repairs, updates, or work I don’t want to deal with
3. How do you feel about showings and open houses?

B. I’d rather avoid showings altogether
4. How flexible is your timeline?
A. I can wait months if needed
B. I need (or want) to sell soon
5. Are you willing to invest money upfront to prepare your home for sale (repairs, cleaning, staging, and agent commissions)?
A. Yes — I’m okay spending money now if it helps maximize the final sale price
B. No — I’d rather avoid repairs, commissions, and out-of-pocket costs and sell it as-is
6. How important is certainty for you?
A. I’m okay with inspections, negotiations, and deals falling through
B. I want a clear, straightforward process
7. Are you comfortable paying commissions and closing costs?

8. What best describes your current situation?

🧮 Scoring Your Results

You’re comfortable with showings, timelines, and negotiations
Mostly B’s → A Private Sale With an Investor May Be a Better Fit
You value speed, simplicity, and certainty
You prefer selling as-is
You want fewer steps and less stress
