If you're looking to sell even faster, you might consider working with an iBuyer or a We Buy Houses for Cash company. These types of companies typically offer cash payments, which means you won't have to wait for financing to go through as you might with a traditional buyer. However, you may not get as much money for your home as you would with an agent.
Selling with an agent is best for…
- People with homes in good condition
- People with at least 30 days to sell
- People who want to sell fast while making the most money
Tips to sell fast with an agent
- Work with an agent with knowledge of the local market
- List below market value
- Offer credits for repairs
- Mention in the listing that cash offers are preferred
💸 How cash offers work
Cash offers are the fastest path to closing because the buyer doesn't need to get a loan. The financial institution doesn't have to spend time checking the buyer's financials (known as the underwriting process). There's also less risk of the buyer's financial situation changing in a way that puts the sale at risk.
When listing with an agent, you can state your preference for cash offers. Keep in mind, though, that this might limit the number of offers.
Better option: Sell to an iBuyer
⚡ Quick facts: Selling to an iBuyer
- Percentage of market value you’ll earn: 90–95%
- Average time to sell: 8–60 days (customer preference)
- Fees you’ll pay:
- Service fee: about 5%
- Average closing costs: 3.62%
An iBuyer is a company that leverages technology to assess and make an offer on your home. It often pays in all cash, which is why it can close so quickly.
Typically, iBuyers purchase homes in good condition, so if you have major problems with your home, you likely won't qualify.
Typical iBuyer purchase criteria:
- 🏠 Built after 1930
- 💰 Valued at $100,000–600,000
- 🌲 Located on 1.5 acres or less
- 👤 Owner-occupied
iBuyers are still a relatively new way to sell a house — only 27% of homeowners fully understand what they are. Before you consider using one, research how iBuyers work and familiarize yourself with the top iBuyers across the U.S.
Selling to an iBuyer is best for…
- People with homes in good condition that meet iBuyer criteria
- People who are willing to sacrifice about 10% of the sale price for a guaranteed fast sale
- People who don't want to show their homes or conduct open houses

- Average time to sell: 3–21 days
- Fees you’ll pay: None
One of the fastest ways to sell your home in Oklahoma City is through a We Buy Houses company. These investors offer cash for properties and can often close the deal within a week or two.
While the convenience and speed of this option may be appealing, these companies typically only offer around 70% of the market value of the home. This is because the offer price accounts for any necessary repairs that will need to be made before the home is resold.
If you're considering working with a We Buy Houses company, get offers from multiple companies and compare them before making a decision. Before making an offer, the company will send a representative to walk through the home. Keep in mind that you're under no obligation to accept the offer.
We Buy Houses companies are best for…
- People who want to sell their homes in as-is condition
- Sellers with no iBuyer option in the region
- People with inherited homes (for more info, see our Stress-Free Guide to Selling an Inherited House)
