Los Altos Hills Mazda Sellers: Documented Commission, Direct Buyer

Yes. Many buyers in our network are comfortable working with active liens. The mechanics: the buyer wires the lender the 10-day payoff directly at closing and wires the balance to you. The seller and buyer agree on the mechanics; we facilitate the match but are not a party to the payment.

You and the buyer agree on the final price directly. We provide market context: Hagerty Price Guide value for your year and model, recent comparable BaT and auction sales, and what buyers in our network have paid for similar cars recently. The number is between you and the buyer.

The buyer pays you directly. Wire transfer is the most common method. Third-party escrow is used when the parties don't know each other and want a neutral hold. Fast Auto Exit does not touch the funds. We invoice our commission separately via Square.

Both sides pay a match-making commission to Fast Auto Exit at closing. The dollar amount and split are agreed up front in the commission disclosure. The commission is the only fee we charge. We earn it only when a transaction closes between parties we introduced.

Dealer trade-ins on Mazda cars routinely come in 30 to 45 percent below retail. Our matched-buyer transactions land closer to retail (typically 5 to 12 percent below) because the buyer is buying for themselves or for retail listing, not for a wholesale auction. On a six-figure car the difference can be $30,000 to $60,000.

We surface Mazda listings to buyers within 24 hours of acceptance. Interested buyers signal back with target price ranges. We then present those buyers to you with their profile, target price, and timeline. The next step (introduction or pass) is your call.
