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?

A. I’m fine with strangers walking through my home

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?

A. Yes, if it helps maximize the price

B. I’d rather avoid extra fees if possible

8. What best describes your current situation?

A. No major life changes — just exploring options

B. Something has changed (inheritance, job move, financial stress, vacancy, etc.)



🧮 Scoring Your Results

Mostly A’s → An Agent Sale May Be Best for You

  • You value maximum price

  • Your home is market-ready

  • 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

A mix of both?

  • You may benefit from comparing both options side-by-side before deciding.
