Sell for More Without a Realtor: Our Retail Buyer Program
Reviewed by Eric Roebuck & Carson Whaley · Updated August 25, 2026
A cash offer trades some price for speed and certainty. When that trade doesn't fit your needs, our Retail Buyer Program is the second path: more money than a typical cash offer, while the sale stays just as easy, no commissions, no fees, no work on your plate.

You can sell a house without a realtor by working with a direct buyer, and with us you pay no commissions or fees on either path. Our Retail Buyer Program pays more than a typical cash offer while the sale stays as easy as a cash sale: your proceeds are agreed in writing upfront, our team handles preparation, marketing, and negotiation, and the 5-6% commission a listing charges never comes out of your check.
Why We Built a Second Way to Sell
We're direct buyers first, and we're honest about what a cash offer is: less than full retail price, in exchange for speed, certainty, and zero prep. For a lot of sellers that trade is exactly right. For others, the house has too much equity, or the timeline has enough room, that leaving retail money on the table doesn't make sense.
The old answer was "go list with an agent then," which means commissions, showings, and months of managing the process yourself. The Retail Buyer Program is our better answer: more money than the cash offer, while keeping what makes a cash sale easy. We run the entire sale for you, one conversation starts it, and you pay no commissions and no fees.
How the Program Works
Step 1: We Review Both Paths With You
Every conversation starts the same way: we evaluate your property and show you both numbers, what we can pay in cash today, and what we believe the house can realistically bring through the Retail Buyer Program. You see the trade-off in writing before choosing anything.
Step 2: Your Number Goes in Writing
If the program is the better fit, we agree on your proceeds in writing before anything begins. That number is what you walk away with at closing, before any mortgage payoff. It is not reduced by commissions, service fees, or surprise charges later. Our compensation is built into the transaction with the end buyer, not taken out of your agreed amount.
Step 3: We Handle the Sale, White-Glove
This is where the service lives up to the name. Our team coordinates everything a top listing would involve, without you hiring anyone or managing anything:
- Preparation: we organize any cleanup, staging, and presentation the home needs to attract traditional buyers
- Marketing: professional exposure of the property to qualified buyers paying full price
- Buyer management: showings coordinated around your life, and every buyer vetted before they're taken seriously
- Negotiation and paperwork: we handle offers, contracts, and the closing file with the title company
Step 4: You Close and Move On
Closing runs through a licensed title company or closing attorney, the same neutral process as every sale we're part of. You collect your agreed proceeds and start the next chapter. That's the whole point.
Cash Offer vs. Retail Buyer Program
Same company, same easy process, same zero fees. The difference is the trade between speed and money:
| Cash offer | Retail Buyer Program | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Below retail, reflecting speed and condition | More than a typical cash offer |
| Speed | Close in as little as two weeks | Longer, we set a realistic window for your market upfront |
| Repairs & prep | None, fully as-is | Handled by our team, not by you |
| Showings | One walkthrough | Coordinated and managed for you |
| Certainty | Highest, no financing involved | Strong, with your number agreed in writing first |
| Fees & commissions | None | None |
| Your effort | One conversation | One conversation |
Which Path Is Right for You?
Choose the cash offer when the house needs work, the clock is running, or you simply want done-in-two-weeks certainty. Choose the Retail Buyer Program when a bigger number matters more than closing fast, and you still want the sale off your plate.
Wondering how both paths stack up against a listing, FSBO, or an iBuyer, including the commissions, deductions, and months of work those routes don't advertise? Our comparison of every way to sell runs the honest math on all five.
One Conversation, Both Numbers
You don't have to pick a path before contacting us. Request an offer and we'll bring you the cash number and the Retail Buyer Program picture together, in writing, with no obligation to take either. Start with how our process works or request your offer when you're ready.
The EZ Time Standard
Six promises we make on every transaction, in every market. Not marketing lines, operating policy.
Every offer in writing, math included
The after-repair value, repair estimate, and our margin, line by line. If a number moves, you see why.
Both options in one conversation
The fast cash offer and the Retail Buyer Program number, side by side, so the trade-off is concrete before you decide anything.
No fees or commissions, either path
Your number is your number. Typical seller closing costs are on us, and nothing is deducted later.
Licensed title company closings, always
Funds and documents go through a neutral title company or closing attorney on every transaction. No exceptions.
No pressure, by policy
Our offers don't expire in 24 hours, and "let me think about it" is a perfectly good answer. Take the offer to your attorney.
Straight answers about our role
If a vetted local partner will be the closing buyer on your property rather than us directly, you'll know before you sign anything.
These promises have names attached. Meet Eric and Carson, the people who answer when you call.
Frequently Asked Questions
If there are no commissions or fees, how does EZ Time get paid?
Our compensation is built into the transaction with the end buyer, not charged to you. The proceeds we agree on with you in writing at the start are what you receive at closing, before any mortgage payoff. If we can't sell the home for enough to cover your number and our compensation, that's our problem, not a deduction from you.
How is this different from listing with a real estate agent?
An agent lists your home, and you pay a commission, typically 5 to 6 percent, while remaining the decision-maker on prep, showings, and negotiations. In the Retail Buyer Program, we take on that work: preparation, marketing, buyer vetting, and negotiation are handled by our team, your proceeds are agreed in writing upfront, and no commission or fee comes out of them.
How long does the Retail Buyer Program take?
Longer than a two-week cash closing, because retail buyers take time to reach and finance. The honest answer depends on your market and the home, so we give you a realistic window in writing before you commit. If your timeline can't accommodate it, the cash offer is the better path and we'll say so.
Do I have to move out before the home is marketed?
Not necessarily. We coordinate preparation and showings around your situation, whether you're living in the home, have tenants, or the property is vacant. Tell us your constraints in the first conversation and we'll build the plan around them.
Can I get both a cash offer and a Retail Buyer Program proposal?
Yes, and we recommend it. One conversation gets you both numbers side by side, in writing, so the trade-off between speed and price is concrete instead of hypothetical. There's no cost and no obligation to accept either.
