What will you really walk away with?
We buy homes for cash. In 5 taps, see what listing with a realtor would really cost you — then see our offer.
The Walk-Away Calculator provides estimates for illustration only, based on typical Greater Toronto Area costs and the answers you choose. It is not an appraisal, a valuation, legal or financial advice, or an offer to purchase. Actual costs, timelines and results will vary.
Our cash offer vs. listing with a realtor
We buy houses — we don’t list them. The calculator puts our cash offer next to what listing with a realtor would really cost you, so you can choose with your eyes open.
Fix it up & list
Usually the highest sale price — but you pay for repairs, staging and months of carrying costs up front, and wait the longest to be paid.
List it as-is
No renovation, but buyers discount for condition and uncertainty, and you still pay commission and wait through showings and conditions.
Sell to Fair House
A fair cash offer with nothing out of pocket, no showings and a guaranteed closing on your date. Your estimated offer range is unlocked instantly when you send your report.
A home sale calculator that shows the whole picture
When you sell a house in Toronto or the GTA, the list price is never what you actually walk away with. Commissions (often 4–5% plus 13% HST), pre-listing repairs, staging, months of mortgage, tax and utility payments, and last-minute price reductions can quietly take tens of thousands of dollars off the top.
Most “we buy houses” companies ask you to compare their cash offer to your list price. That’s not a fair comparison — and fair is our name. The Walk-Away Calculator shows what listing would really leave in your pocket, so you can compare apples to apples.
Every assumption is visible and adjustable. If the numbers show listing is the better path for you, we’ll tell you that too. When you’re ready, request your written cash offer or call 905-497-5534.
