5 Things an Allentown Listing Agent isn't Going to Tell You

Pezon Properties • December 9, 2022

If you’ve decided to sell your Allentown home, stop looking for a listing agent and consider your options before making a costly mistake. Not all properties and not all sellers fit perfectly into the standard MLS listing model. If you are looking for a fair cash offer on your house, let us help you. We buy houses in Pennsylvania.


Some home sellers are under the pressure of floating the expenses of their current home before relocating. Time is of the essence for these sellers; waiting for the listing process and loan approval for buyers isn’t feasible, and what if the buyer backs out of the deal?. In addition, some sellers aren’t in a position to complete the repairs to optimize their purchase price, either physically or financially. Read on as we explore five things an Allentown listing agent will not tell you.

Your Options For Selling

An Allentown listing agent will not tell you about different options for selling a home because they may not have your best interests at heart. They may be thinking of their own commission and not about your needs. A direct buyer, like Pezon Properties, will discuss all of your options with you to help you decide which method suits your unique circumstances best, even if it means listing with a traditional real estate agent. We are completely transparent at Pezon Properties, even if that means you end up listing with an agent. The direct buyers and the full-service team of industry professionals at Pezon Properties are local, living, and working right here in the Lehigh Valley, and we’re proud of the work we do as a part of the real estate market. To that end, our goal at Pezon Properties is to help improve the quality of life in our community and help our neighbors, like you, solve their problems.

Your Closing Date

While the date you will close isn’t something that an Allentown listing agent can’t tell you, a direct buyer like Pezon Properties can work with you to set the closing on the calendar date that works best for you. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could time your closing with your upcoming plans for moving into your new home? As a bonus, while sellers typically pay for the agent's commission and other closing costs with a traditional listing, you'll never pay commissions or unnecessary fees when you sell directly to Pezon Properties. At Pezon Properties, we don’t believe sellers should have to pay any extra expenses to sell their homes.

Your Total Expenses

An Allentown listing agent doesn't tell you how much you’ll profit until your home sells. So holding costs, the monthly expenses that you continue to carry for utilities, maintenance, and any further repairs will continue to add up as your home sits on the market as you watch the profits dwindle. Direct buyers like those at Pezon Properties lay it all out in the open and are transparent with the numbers used to calculate our offer, which we want you to agree is fair. At Pezon Properties, we want you to feel good about your direct sale long after closing.

Your Total Profits

An Allentown listing agent can’t tell you exactly how much of your final sales price you’ll owe for their commissions; however, you will know the percentage to deduct. On the other hand, you won’t pay commissions by selling directly to a professional buyer like those from Pezon Properties.


No hidden fees will come off the top at your closing. When you work with a direct buyer like those at Pezon Properties, your professional buyer will detail the profits you’d make from listing vs. selling directly. At Pezon Properties, we do this because we want you to make an educated decision about such a significant financial transaction.

How Much You’ll Pay for Repairs

While real estate agents may advise you on the repairs, upgrades, and renovations you should consider, something an Allentown listing agent will not tell you is the total amount of expenditures you’ll face before the final sale. Making repairs is fraught with surprises that often cost thousands of dollars, especially in older homes. Think, you open up a wall and find unsafe electrical wires that won't pass code. In addition, if your buyer from the MLS find new issues with the property, they may have contingencies in the contract that require you to pay for any repairs or take a significant hit off your asking price for their inflated estimates to take on the risks of making repairs. At Pezon Properties, we lift the burden and risks of making repairs off your shoulders and onto ours; when your deal closes, your responsibility ends. 


There are many things an Allentown listing agent isn't going to tell you, mainly because they don’t know who is buying the home, on what schedule, and if they will close on time. The direct buyers at Pezon Properties eliminate the loan process for buyers with a cash offer. Cash allows the direct buyers at Pezon Properties to bypass the red tape of conventional listings with a convenient and fast guaranteed closing date. A direct sell to a professional buyer at Pezon Properties can save you from out-of-pocket expenses and the hassles of showings. There are no commissions, hidden fees, or complicated contracts. Talk to a direct buyer at Pezon Properties about your home and find out how we can help you overcome any hurdles you face with no obligation. Call Pezon Properties at 484-484-0971.
