Experience and Expertise

Not every property belongs on the MLS.

Deferred maintenance, hoarding, structural issues, or seller constraints can turn a listing into a time-sink — or prevent it from ever hitting the market. In those situations, agents are often forced to choose between walking away or pushing a listing that may never close.

VILHOM Real Estate Group helps agents create a third option: a clean, credible cash solution that allows the deal to move forward and still pays you a commission when the transaction closes.

Agents encounter this constantly:

• Homes requiring significant repairs the seller can’t afford

• Properties that won’t pass inspections or appraisal

• Hoarder or estate situations

• Inherited homes with deferred maintenance

• Sellers who want certainty over showings and prep

• Listings that would require months of work with uncertain outcomes

In these cases, listing the property may not be realistic — but walking away leaves the seller unsupported and the agent uncompensated.

A Cash Option That Works for Everyone

When a property isn’t suitable for the MLS, we provide a legitimate cash-offer solution that allows you to remain involved and earn a commission upon closing.

Here’s what that looks like:

• You identify a property that isn’t list-ready

• We evaluate the property and structure a cash offer

• The seller chooses whether to move forward

• If the deal closes, you are paid a commission

No pressure. No misrepresentation. Just an alternative path that works.

1. You identify a property that doesn’t belong on the MLS (Condition, timeline, cooperation, or financial constraints)
   
2. We review the property and numbers
   Quickly and realistically
   
3. A clear cash option is presented to the seller
   With trade-offs explained
   
4. If the seller proceeds and the deal closes, you’re paid
   

This allows you to help your client while protecting your time, reputation, and income.

• You don’t lose the client

• You don’t over-promise on a bad listing

• You still get paid when the deal closes

• You look like a problem-solver, not a salesperson

• You turn “dead leads” into real transactions

Agents consistently tell us this approach strengthens trust with sellers, especially in difficult situations.

This is critical.

• We do not market directly to your client

• We do not replace your role in the relationship

• We step in only when a listing isn’t viable

• If a property becomes list-ready later, it goes back to you

We’re here to complement your business — not cannibalize it.

• Probate properties in poor condition

• Divorce situations with limited cooperation

• Inherited homes needing extensive repairs

• Sellers unwilling or unable to prep for market

• Deals that stall before they ever reach the MLS

If you’ve ever thought, “This deal is going to die,” this is where we step in.

We’ve created agent-specific materials that explain the cash option clearly and professionally — without feeling salesy.
