If you’re relocating and still have a mortgage on your current home, the pressure to sell quickly can feel overwhelming. Most people simply can’t afford to carry two mortgages at once. Whether you're moving for a job, family, or a fresh start, you need a fast, reliable way to sell your home without unnecessary delays or costs.

Here’s a breakdown of your main options—and what to expect from each.

For Sale by Owner (FSBO): More Work Than You Might Think

Selling your home on your own may seem appealing at first. It gives you control over pricing, negotiations, and the selling timeline. You might also hope to maximize your profits by avoiding agent commissions.

However, FSBO sales often don’t live up to these expectations. Without the resources and exposure that a professional agent can provide, it’s difficult to reach qualified buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, only 7% of home sales in the U.S. are completed through FSBO—and they tend to sell for significantly less than agent-assisted properties.

Additionally, FSBO sellers typically have to invest time and money into staging, marketing, and managing showings. And when you’re relocating, time is the one thing you don’t have.

Hiring a Realtor: Professional Help, But at a Cost

Working with a licensed real estate agent comes with advantages. They’ll help you stage, photograph, list, and market the property, giving you access to popular listing platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com.

However, speed is not guaranteed. Even with an experienced agent, the process can take several weeks—or even months. You’ll also likely need to make repairs or updates to get top dollar, and agents typically charge a 5–6% commission on the sale price, according to Bankrate.

For sellers in a time crunch, these added steps and expenses can create even more stress during an already hectic move.

Working with a Cash Buyer: Fast, Simple, and Hassle-Free

If your top priority is selling fast so you can relocate without financial baggage, working with a cash buyer may be the most practical option. Cash buyers purchase homes as-is, meaning you don’t have to clean, repair, or even stage the home.

Benefits include:

• No repairs or renovations

• No real estate agent fees

• Quick closing—often in just 7 days

• Cash payment with no risk of loan denial

• Reliable, guaranteed sale

Because cash buyers don’t rely on mortgage approvals, the transaction moves quickly and with fewer complications. The traditional sale process takes 45 to 60 days, but with a cash buyer, you could be moved out and on your way in just one week.
