Four ways to sell. One of them fits you best.
Most homeowners are shown a single number and asked to say yes or no. Verdi maps every realistic path first — including the ones where we don’t buy your house — so you can compare them side by side before you commit to anything.
This page is an explainer. Nothing here asks about your property. When you want the numbers for your specific address, use the button at the bottom.
What each option actually means.
Direct cash purchase
Verdi buys the property outright, in cash, on your timeline. No listing, no showings, no financing contingency, no repair credits. On qualifying properties the number is funded by redevelopment value, so it can land at or above what a retail sale would net you.
- Fastest path — typically 2 to 4 weeks to close
- No agent commissions and no pre-sale repairs
- You give up any share of the future development profit
Best if you want a clean, private exit with a firm closing date.
Seller finance
You sell to Verdi but carry part of the purchase price as a note, receiving scheduled payments plus interest instead of the entire balance at closing. Owners use this to smooth out the tax year, create predictable income, or reach a higher total number than an all-cash figure.
- Higher headline price than an all-cash close
- Income arrives on a schedule, secured by the property
- Confirm the tax treatment with your own CPA before choosing this
Best if you don't need every dollar on day one and want interest on the balance.
Traditional listing
Sometimes the honest answer is that the open market serves you best — a well-presented home in strong condition can outperform any off-market number. When that's true, we tell you plainly and point you to a listing rather than making an offer.
- Full buyer-pool exposure and competitive bidding
- Commissions, prep work, showings, and a longer timeline
- Price is set by comparable sales, not redevelopment value
Best if the house itself (not the land) is the valuable asset and you can wait out a marketing period.
JV teardown-and-rebuild
Instead of selling the upside away, you keep a share of it. Verdi structures a joint venture with a builder partner: you receive an acquisition payment up front plus an agreed percentage of the profit as the new home is built and sold.
- Highest potential total return of the four paths
- Payment arrives in stages across the project
- Requires a lot a builder actually wants — we confirm before proposing it
Best if your lot supports new construction and you're open to a longer horizon for a larger total payday.
Illustrative descriptions. The paths available for a given property depend on the lot, the town, and current market conditions.
