Should I list at all if a cash buyer offers me a private deal?

Comparing a private cash offer against the open market is the first step before turning down a listing agreement. A direct buyer sets one number with no competition, while a listing exposes the property to every buyer active in that price range and often produces a stronger net through competing offers. A current comparative market analysis shows whether the private number holds up against recent comparable sales, and Joel Boss can run that comparison before you sign anything with a private buyer.
