Can I sell my house without a real estate agent?

Skipping the agent doesn't mean doing everything alone. As direct buyers in Oakland County, we handle the offer, the paperwork, and the closing logistics on your Troy home — no commission, no marketing period, and no strangers walking through, whether you're in Somerset area, Big Beaver corridor and Rochester Road area or anywhere in between.

Yes. When you sell to a direct cash buyer, you skip the parts of the usual process most people dislike. That means agent commissions (often 5–6%), repairs and staging, public showings, and the wait for a buyer's mortgage to be approved. You get a fair written offer, sell as-is, and close on your own timeline.

The typical Troy home is worth about $466,018 (up 2.3% over the past year). On a sale at that price, a 6% commission alone is roughly $28,000 — before seller concessions and repair credits. Selling direct keeps that math in your pocket, and closing still runs through a licensed title company. For timing context: listed Troy homes currently take a median of about 10 days just to go pending — before the buyer's 30–45-day mortgage window even starts, and 43% of recent Troy sales closed below the asking price.

What you actually save without a realtor

On a regular sale, agent commissions usually run 5–6% of the price. That's split between the buyer's and seller's agents, so it's thousands of dollars off the top. Then add seller-paid closing costs, repair credits after the inspection, staging, and pre-listing fix-ups. The gap between your list price and what you actually take home can be large.

Selling directly to us removes the commission entirely, and we cover the usual closing costs. The offer we agree on is what you walk away with. There are no last-minute cuts after an inspection or appraisal.

FSBO vs. selling to a cash buyer

You can list 'For Sale By Owner' to avoid the listing-side commission. But FSBO still means marketing the home, hosting showings, taking calls, haggling, and paying for your own disclosures and paperwork. You usually still have to offer a buyer's-agent commission too. And all of this happens while you wait on financed buyers who may fall through.

Selling to a cash buyer is the easy end of doing it yourself. You get one offer, no marketing, no showings, no financing risk, and a guided closing. You keep the 'skip the agent' savings without the work and worry of a FSBO listing.

The paperwork is handled for you

Selling without an agent doesn't mean going it alone on the legal side. The sale closes through a licensed, neutral title company. It handles the purchase agreement, title search, lien payoffs, the Michigan seller's disclosure, and the settlement statement. You'll see exactly what you take home and have time to review everything.

Many sellers also choose to have an attorney review the simple, plain-language purchase agreement. We encourage it. Our goal is an open, honest sale you feel completely comfortable with.

FAQ

Sell a House Without a Realtor in Troy: Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to sell my house without a realtor in Michigan?

Yes. Homeowners can sell directly without listing with an agent. The sale still closes through a licensed title company that handles the disclosures, title work, and paperwork to keep everything proper.

How much do I save by skipping the agent?

Agent commissions usually run 5–6% of the sale price. Selling directly to us removes that commission, and we cover the usual closing costs. So you keep more of the money.

Who handles the contract and closing?

A neutral, licensed title company manages the purchase agreement, title search, lien payoffs, and settlement statement. You're welcome to have an attorney review the agreement as well.

Is selling to you the same as FSBO?

It's the easy version. FSBO still means marketing, showings, and waiting on financed buyers. Selling to us is one offer with no showings, no marketing, and no financing risk.

Do I still need to provide a seller's disclosure?

In most home sales, Michigan requires a seller's disclosure of known problems. Selling as-is doesn't remove that. But it's simple, and the title company helps make sure it's handled right.

What are homes in Troy actually worth right now?

As of July 2026, the typical middle-tier Troy home is worth about $466,018 per the Zillow Home Value Index — up 2.3% over the past year. Actual closed sales tell a similar story — the median Troy sale price is running about $399,917. That's a citywide midpoint: values differ street to street between Somerset area, Big Beaver corridor and Rochester Road area and other pockets of Troy. When we price a home, we work from recent sales near your address and its true condition, not the citywide average.

What does it cost to sell a house in Troy the traditional way?

On a listed Troy sale near the typical home value of $466,018, plan on roughly $23,300–$28,000 in agent commission (5–6%), about $4,010 in Michigan transfer tax ($3.75 state + $0.55 Oakland County per $500 of price), plus owner's title insurance, any repair credits from the buyer's inspection, and the carrying costs while it sits on the market. When we buy directly there's no commission and we cover the standard closing costs — you still pay the state and county transfer tax as the seller, but the written offer is otherwise what you keep, less your mortgage payoff and prorated taxes.

How much does selling without a realtor save on a Troy home?

Commissions in Michigan typically run 5–6% of the sale price. Against Troy's typical home value of about $466,018, that's roughly $23,300–$28,000 you don't pay when you sell to us directly. We also cover the standard closing costs, so the written offer is what you actually walk away with.

Which Troy neighborhoods do you buy houses in?

All of them. That includes Somerset area, Big Beaver corridor, Rochester Road area, Long Lake area and Troy Historic Village area — and every other street in Troy. If the property is anywhere in Oakland County, we'll make a written cash offer on it, regardless of condition.

I'm relocating for work — how fast can you close in Troy?

We can close in as little as 7 days. That is ideal for a job move from the Big Beaver business corridor. Need more time to plan your move? You simply choose a later closing date. You won't be stuck carrying an empty home after you leave.

We're downsizing in Troy. Do we need to fix up the house first?

No. We buy Troy homes as-is. There's no need to update, repair, or stage before selling. Leave behind anything you don't want to take. We'll handle the rest after closing.
