Cash offers are powerful, but they’re not all created equal. If you’re considering one, here’s a checklist to help you make the smartest decision.
In competitive markets, particularly in Brisbane’s blue-chip suburbs, sellers are often approached with cash offers that promise certainty and speed. And while those qualities are incredibly appealing, the fine print can make all the difference between a great outcome and a costly mistake.
The Checklist
- Fees: Are they transparent, or buried in fine print? Some cash buyers disguise commissions as “convenience fees.”
- Timing: How fast is settlement, and does it actually align with your needs? Speed is great unless you need more time.
- Risk: Who carries it if the property doesn’t sell quickly afterwards? Some models shift risk back to the seller.
- Valuation: Is the offer based on true market value or a discounted “quick sale” figure?
- Service: Will you be supported personally, or are you just a transaction in a volume model?
Why This Matters
Many landlords and homeowners get caught up in the speed and certainty of a cash offer without checking the finer details. But overlooking these factors can mean leaving money or peace of mind on the table.

The Takeaway
