Shameless Stupid Question.

Forgive my ignorance but why do some sellers only accept cash offers? What is the benefit? They get paid either way. I'm sure I'm wrong so please enlighten me. Thanks.

Tim Kaminski I'm guessing it's because they've had bad experiences in the past. You're right, either way they get paid but if a couple of offers fall through (even if it's the buyers issue with financing) you have an old listing, a stale property, buyers assuming something is wrong, etc. As others have also mentioned if your offer is cash it's likely a quick close, you're not a first time buyer, it's just plain less hassle.
