Selling fast for cash isn’t right for everyone. In this Central PA–focused episode, Brian and Chris give you a straight-shooting framework to decide. You’ll hear a 10-question yes/no test, a score guide, and a simple way to compare cash offer net vs realistic list net—plus seven vetting questions to avoid bad terms. We keep it no-pressure, neighborly, and honest.

Key Takeaways

  • The 10-Question Test helps you decide in minutes whether speed, certainty, and as-is convenience matter more than squeezing every dollar.

  • Score guide: 0–3 = list first, 4–7 = compare paths, 8–10 = cash sale often best (if terms are clean).

  • Always vet cash buyers: proof of funds, fees, earnest money, inspection terms, who pays closing costs, firm timeline, transparent math.

  • Compare two numbers: cash offer net vs list net after repairs, commissions, concessions, and holding costs.

Recap (Central PA) In under 10 minutes, Brian and Chris walk through 10 yes/no questions that reflect real situations we see across Lancaster, Harrisburg, York, Lebanon, Reading, and Lititz. If speed, certainty, and an as-is sale fit your season of life—or the property is tough to show—your score will likely point to a reputable local cash buyer. If your home can show well and you can wait, listing often wins on price. Either way, run the numbers and vet the terms. Call 717-321-SOLD for a no-pressure side-by-side comparison.
