Reference breakdown
On a $300,000 California home sold the traditional way.
On a HomeInvestor cash sale in California, the buyer typically pays all closing costs and there's no agent commission — so the discount from retail is your only "fee." Many sellers net more after the math, especially when repair budgets are factored in.
