If the owner isn’t interested in a cash sale, the agent can then provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and discuss the benefits of listing the property on the MLS.A key point to remember: You do not need to sign a listing agreement with that agent just to receive a cash offer.

Sure, some absolutely have benefited, S.Korea is a fair example BUT, one can argue it would just be "Korea" today if only MacArthur wasn't planning a run for President there after and ignored Chinas warning and offer of peace to stop with all but total victory, instead pushing to Chinese border, pulling them into it and literally loosing the entire north....
