Getting started & timing
From your initial inquiry to an agreed closing and move-out plan.
How does the process work when selling my home?
Share the property address, known condition, occupancy, and preferred timing. Our team reviews the details and discusses any information or access needed. If the property is a fit, we present written terms for you to consider. If you proceed, the agreement and closing requirements determine the next steps.
How quickly can a cash sale close?
A cash purchase may close in as little as 5 days when title, payoffs, lawful access, funding, signatures, required approvals, and all other closing conditions are ready. Property, municipal, title, estate, tenant, or other issues can take longer or prevent a proposed closing. Buyer mortgage underwriting is avoided; inspections and other agreed conditions can still apply.
How quickly can I get a cash offer for my home?
Offer timing depends on the property details and the review needed. Start with the address and what you know about the condition. The team can explain the next steps and whether additional information, access, or assessment is needed before written terms can be presented. Ask about the expected review time for your property.
Is there any obligation to accept a cash offer?
There is no charge to request our offer and no obligation to accept it. Compare the written price, seller costs, conditions, and responsibilities before deciding. If you sign a purchase agreement, it creates obligations subject to its terms and applicable law. An offer review is not a formal appraisal of the property.
What information should I have ready?
Start with the address, known condition, occupancy, ownership details, and preferred timing. Mention deadlines, mortgages or liens, estate requirements, leases, or orders you already know about. Available reports and agreements can help, but you can begin with basic information. Do not enter an unsafe or restricted area to collect details for an inquiry.
Can I choose my closing and move-out dates?
Tell us your preferred dates so we can discuss a plan. The closing date, possession, contents, and any separate occupancy arrangement should be agreed in writing. A proposed date depends on title, payoffs, approvals, funding, and other conditions being ready. Ask the closing office when proceeds will be available before committing to related plans.
Property condition & ownership
As-is purchases, contents, property types, occupancy, and signing authority.
What does selling my house “as is” mean?
You can request an offer for the property's known condition before funding updates, repairs, staging, or a cleanout. Discuss any seller work and put responsibilities in the agreement. As-is does not bypass applicable disclosures, safety requirements, municipal orders, title work, inspections, tenant rights, or required approvals.
What kind of properties do you buy?
We can consider single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily buildings, mobile homes, and land. Share the property type, location, ownership, occupancy, and condition so the team can review suitability. Mobile-home title or lot arrangements, association requirements, and other property-specific details may need additional attention. Not every property or proposed transaction qualifies.
What if my house is full of old junk or clutter? Do I need to clean it out?
You can start an inquiry before arranging a cleanout. Tell us what you would like to keep or leave, confirm ownership and rights to belongings, and put the agreed cleaning and removal responsibilities in writing. A sale does not automatically authorize disposal of another person's property. Applicable safety or other requirements still need attention.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living there?
An occupied sale may be possible, subject to leases, applicable law, and purchase terms. Share the occupancy, lease information, deposits, restrictions, and available lawful access. A sale does not automatically end a tenancy or allow removal of an occupant. Review notices, transfers, accounting, and any approvals with the appropriate local professionals.
Can I sell an inherited property or a house in probate?
We can review inherited or estate properties. Identify the actual owner, who has authority to sign, and which notices, consents, court or other approvals, and title documents are needed. A cash offer does not create estate authority or bypass probate. The required steps can take longer or prevent a proposed closing.
Where do you buy properties?
We review properties nationwide. Browse the published location guides and share the address so the team can confirm fit for the buying process. A location guide does not mean every property qualifies or that we have a local office in every community.
Offers, costs & closing
The price, seller obligations, payoffs, and settlement details to review.
Who will pay closing costs?
We cover standard closing costs as stated in the written offer. Review the actual allocation before accepting. Mortgages, liens, taxes, association balances, prorations, existing agreements, and other obligations are separate items and may reduce the amount you receive. The offer price is not automatically your take-home cash.
How do you calculate your cash offers?
A review can consider comparable sales, location, property type, known condition, likely work, occupancy, transaction costs, uncertainty, and the proposed purchase. A cash investment offer may be below an expected retail sale price. There is no fixed percentage that determines every offer. Compare the written price alongside its costs and conditions.
Do you charge any hidden fees or commissions?
We charge no commissions. Ask for the seller costs and responsibilities to be clearly stated in the written offer and agreement. Property debts, taxes, existing brokerage agreements, and other obligations still need review. Agent compensation is negotiable; a direct sale does not automatically cancel an existing listing agreement or a compensation obligation.
Can I sell with a mortgage, liens, or unpaid property charges?
Some sales can be coordinated with the appropriate payoffs, releases, documents, and approvals. Other issues may prevent closing, and not every amount can necessarily be paid or resolved from the proceeds. Request dated payoff information; the mortgage payoff can differ from the balance on a statement. Have the closing office confirm the required figures and releases.
Will selling for cash always leave me with more money than listing?
Neither route always leaves the seller with more cash. Compare actual prices, negotiated compensation, allocated closing costs, property payoffs, work funded, carrying time, and contract conditions. A listing may provide broader exposure, while a direct offer may reduce marketing preparation. Consider the options actually available for your property.
How will I receive the sale proceeds?
The closing office coordinates documents, funding, recording, settlement, and disbursement under the transaction and local requirements. Review the settlement statement and ask how and when proceeds will be available. Independently verify payment instructions using a trusted, verified phone number rather than relying only on a new email or text.
Special situations & confidence
Support options, deadlines, buyer checks, and the agreement you are considering.
Who usually sells their houses to you?
Owners contact us for many reasons: inherited property, rental management, repairs, a move, divorce, financial pressure, or a wish to compare selling in the current condition. Tell us about the property and your goals. The right option depends on the actual costs, timing, available alternatives, and requirements of your situation.
What if I have more questions or need help with probate/relocation?
Contact our team to discuss the situation. Ask whether assistance with probate costs, moving arrangements, or moving expenses is available for your proposed purchase and have any agreed support and cost allocation put in writing. At closing, we contribute up to $1,000 to the church or charity you choose. Required legal steps and independent professional advice still matter.
Can a cash offer stop foreclosure or extend a deadline?
An inquiry or purchase contract does not pause foreclosure or extend a deadline. Contact your mortgage servicer promptly and consider a HUD-approved housing counselor and appropriate local legal advice. If a sale is an option, confirm the actual deadline, payoffs, required approvals, and ability to close in time. Counseling agencies offer different services, so check their scope.
How can I check the buyer before signing?
Verify the contract buyer's legal identity, current funding evidence, deposit arrangements, closing office, due diligence, assignment rights, deadlines, seller costs, and price-change or cancellation terms. Clarify who is responsible for closing and use your own advisers where appropriate. The buyer is not your independent legal or financial adviser.
Do I automatically get three days to cancel a signed home-sale contract?
Do not assume an automatic three-day cancellation period. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule excludes real estate transactions. Any cancellation rights depend on the agreement, applicable state law, and transaction facts. Have the actual requirements reviewed before signing. No obligation to accept an offer is different from having no obligations after signing.
Is a cash purchase the same as selling on terms?
No. Seller financing, installment payments, or another terms arrangement can involve different timing, risks, and continuing obligations from a cash purchase. Identify the actual structure and have it reviewed separately. A higher proposed price paid over time is not the same as receiving that amount in cash at closing.
