Cash Buyer vs. Selling It Yourself (FSBO) in Utah
Selling by owner can save a listing commission, but you take on the agent's work. A cash sale skips most of that work, at a lower price.
- Any condition, any situation
- No fees or commissions
- No obligation to accept
- You choose the closing date

Side by side
| Sell to a cash buyer | For sale by owner | |
|---|---|---|
| Listing commission | None | None (you may still pay a buyer's agent) |
| Your time | Low | High: pricing, photos, marketing, showings, negotiating |
| Paperwork | Buyer and title company handle most of it | You manage the contract, disclosures and deadlines |
| Repairs | None | Buyers and lenders may require them |
| Price | Below retail | Potentially retail, if priced well |
| Buyer financing risk | None | Same as any listing |
What FSBO sellers take on
- Setting a price without agent pricing tools
- Marketing the home and getting it seen
- Screening buyers and verifying their financing
- Handling the purchase contract, disclosures and deadlines
- Negotiating repairs after inspection
A title company can close a FSBO sale, and a real estate attorney can review your contract.
Who does well with FSBO
Sellers with a move-in-ready home, time, and a buyer already lined up (a neighbor, tenant or relative).
Who is better off with cash
Sellers whose house needs work, who cannot host showings, or who need a firm date.
