Easy Sale

A straightforward sale to Flexible, without the hassles or costs of putting your property on the market. Get fast closing certainty and close on your timeline. A popular alternative to the typical on-market selling process, which includes hiring an agent and paying fees.

How our Easy Sale works

  • 1

    Accept our offer

    After you accept our offer, Flexible will open escrow and send our deposit.

  • 2

    Flexible handles the details

    We’ll complete our inspections, and handle the escrow and title paperwork.

  • 3

    Close on your timeline

    Enjoy a smooth closing.

Benefits and Tradeoffs

Benefits
  • Convenience- Close on your timeline and skip months of typical sale hassles: tours, property fixes and improvements, hiring an agent, and flakey buyers.

  • Fast closing certainty- Get a fast non-refundable deposit so that you know we are committed to closing.

  • Savings- Save 10% or more, hundreds of thousands of dollars, by skipping commissions and pre-sale repairs.

Tradeoffs
  • Possibility of lower pricing and proceeds- Selling your existing property by hiring an agent and listing on the market may result in higher offer pricing and net sale proceeds, even after paying commissions.

  • Limited tax benefits- Other Flexible Offer Types can result in meaningful savings by deferring taxes on capital gains and depreciation recapture. If you’re considering a 1031 exchange, we can help you reduce the risk of a failed 1031 exchange by providing an option to extend the sale date.

  • Missed opportunities- Some Flexible Offer Types give you benefits beyond those of a standard sale, including the potential to earn more and receive passive income.

Easy Sale Example

You sell your property to Flexible for $1,000,000 and choose a 60-day closing. 

During the transaction

Flexible contributes a deposit of $25,000 and spends 30 days conducting due diligence. After diligence is completed, the deposit becomes “non-refundable” and is yours to keep. 

Outcome

The sale closes and you receive $1,000,000 less third-party costs of sale (e.g., escrow fees). Flexible does not charge commissions or fees.

This example is simplified to exclude details that vary by owner and transaction, including the impact of taxes, tax savings, and miscellaneous third-party transaction costs.

Perfecting your Easy Sale terms

Every Flexible offer is custom-built to achieve owners’ goals. For an Easy Sale, here are the most important items to consider:

  • Sale date

    The date when the transaction is complete.

  • Extension options

    If you are thinking about doing a 1031 exchange, extending the sale date gives you more time to find and secure your replacement property without the stress of a ticking clock.

  • Inspection period

    The amount of time you will give Flexible to complete its due diligence before the deposit becomes non-refundable. While Flexible can agree to an immediate non-refundable deposit upon signing a purchase agreement, 30 to 60 days is standard. For more complex projects, Flexible may request more time.

Most owners...

Most owners who choose an Easy Sale want closing certainty as soon as possible, but may have reasons for either a fast closing or a delayed closing. For example: postponing a sale until the following year for tax reasons. Flexible can provide a non-refundable deposit soon after signing a contract to give you confidence that your transaction will close, and schedule a closing for any date in the future.

When you request an offer, we’ll share options so you can choose your desired combination of offer features and make an informed choice. We can include preapproval to make changes after reaching an agreement so you have flexibility as the future unfolds.

Easy Sale Offer Pricing

  • The price Flexible can pay is the result of assessing the full potential of your property, and considering the cost and complexity of our plans.

    Here are the best ways to maximize our offer price:

    • Longer inspection period: The more time we have, the more confident we can be in our plan. More time means more answers, decreasing our risk and allowing us to accept a lower return by increasing our offer price.

    • Later sale date: Just like a longer inspection period, closing later can increase our offer price as we’ll have more time to refine our post-closing plans.

  • Flexible reviews recent comparable sales and rentals, then makes adjustments based on your property’s unique features. We’ll determine your property’s highest and best use so we can maximize our offer price.

    Our offer pricing and future plans are 100% transparent. You'll see the data used to determine our offer price, and since we don't charge commissions or fees, you can save hundreds of thousands, and the number you see is what ends up in your pocket.

  • In most cases, Flexible will make improvements and sell the property for a profit. In some cases, we’ll rent the property for cash flow before selling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A typical sale involves finding and hiring a listing agent, and a 1-6 month process that usually includes property preparation and improvements, prospect tours, offer negotiating, and one or several transactions depending on whether or not the first buyer with whom you enter into an agreement performs. With our Easy Sale, you skip all of that. You get an “as-is” sale and we close on your timeline.

  • Our offers are customized to maximize the collective ownership group’s satisfaction. Flexible will ensure each co-owner receives the terms they want, whether it’s cashing out, remaining an owner, or both. You tell us if you want us to work with a single contact, the group, or individually with each co-owner.

  • We’ll determine if your loan can be paid off without penalty and, if the rate is below market, whether it can be assumed. If we can keep a below-market rate loan in place, we may be able to increase our offer price.

  • We’ll work with you to coordinate our onsite inspections and collect property information as part of our due diligence. If certain materials are not available or easily accessible, our team can help.

Flexible’s Love Your Offer Guarantee

Typical transactions prohibit owners from canceling or making changes. With Flexible, you get seven days after accepting our offer to cancel your agreement—no questions asked.
