Two ways to sell
A cash purchase from Rick, or a listing with an agent
One path is a written offer from a buyer who takes the house as it stands. The other is hiring an agent to market it. They are different jobs. This page does not pretend one number fits every house.

Rick Webb is a licensed Arizona real estate agent. His broker is BMN Real Estate and Referral Services. He does not take listings and does not represent sellers. He buys homes as a principal for his own account: he puts a property under contract to purchase, may assign that purchase contract (his equitable interest) to another buyer, or buys, renovates, and resells. He acts as a buyer, not as the seller's agent. He may assign the contract or resell for a profit. Sellers may wish to consult their own agent or attorney.
Listing with an agent
- You hire someone to market the house. That person represents you under your agreement with them.
- Buyers usually expect showings, and often repairs or credits after an inspection.
- The buyer may need a mortgage. That loan can delay closing or fail.
- A commission is part of many listing agreements. The amount is whatever you and that agent agree to. It is not set here.
- The sale can take longer because it waits on the market, the buyer, and the lender.
Selling to PHX Home Buyer
- Rick Webb is the buyer. He does not list the house and does not represent you.
- You can leave repairs and cleaning undone. There is no open house.
- He pays cash. There is no buyer's mortgage in the purchase.
- You do not pay him a listing commission, because there is no listing.
- He may close, assign the contract, or buy and later resell. The price is for the house as it stands, which is often not the same as a retail asking price.
How to choose
Choose a listing if you want the house marketed and you are willing to prepare it, host buyers, and wait on a lender. Choose a purchase offer from Rick if you want a buyer for the house as it is and you understand he is on the buying side. You can ask for his number and still talk with your own agent. Those are not the same relationship.
The steps after you ask are on how it works. Condition is covered on selling as-is.
FAQ
Questions about the comparison
Which path pays more?
There is no single answer, and this site will not invent one. A retail listing tries to find a buyer at a market price after showings and, often, repairs. A cash purchase is a price for the house as it stands, with the buyer taking on repairs, time, and resale. The written offer is the number you can compare with a listing plan. We will not guess the gap.
Does a cash sale charge a listing commission?
No. Rick does not list the house, so there is no listing commission paid to him. If you hire your own agent, that agreement is between you and that agent. This page does not set anyone else's fee.
Can the buyer's loan still fall through?
On a listing, the person who makes an offer may need a mortgage, and that loan can fail. Rick buys with cash. The sale can still fail for title, payoff, or a contract you do not sign. Cash removes the buyer's lender. It does not remove every other condition.
Should I get my own agent anyway?
You can. Rick will not be that agent. If you want someone to market the house or advise you, hire your own agent or attorney. Asking Rick for a purchase offer does not hire him.
