Frequently asked questions
How do cash home buyers work when I want to sell?
You tell us about the property by phone or through the short form, and our local buyer calls to discuss it. After looking at the house, the buyer makes a no-obligation cash offer. You review the terms and decide. If you accept, the sale closes through escrow, usually with an escrow or title company.
Is selling to a cash buyer legit, and what should I check?
A direct cash sale is a way to sell to an investor rather than market the house through a listing. Ask who the buyer is, read the purchase agreement and ask questions about its conditions. We connect you with our local buyer, and the sale closes through escrow, usually handled by a title company.
How much will a cash buyer offer for my house?
The amount depends on the property, its condition, needed repairs and recent sales nearby. The buyer also considers the costs of holding and reselling the house. An agent listing can bring a higher price for a house in good condition; a cash sale trades some price for speed, greater financing certainty and no repairs.
Are there fees or agent commissions in a direct cash sale?
There is no agent commission when you sell directly to our local buyer. We encourage you to ask about any fees or charges in the proposed purchase agreement so you understand its terms. Closing costs are separate, and the escrow officer can explain the closing paperwork before you sign.
How are closing costs handled when I sell for cash?
The closing costs and each party's responsibilities are explained in writing before you sign. Ask the buyer to explain which charges the agreement covers and any responsibilities assigned to you. The escrow officer can walk you through the closing statement so you can understand the charges listed there.
Do I have to make repairs or clean before selling?
You can discuss an as-is sale without doing repairs, cleaning or staging. Tell our local buyer about unfinished work and the condition of the house when you speak. The buyer looks at the property as it stands, in person or by video, so you can skip preparing it for public showings.
Can I sell if the house has liens or back taxes?
Have the title company review liens or back taxes as part of the title work. Those issues need to be addressed through the closing process, and that professional can explain what is required for your property. Tell the buyer what you know about any claims against the house before discussing the agreement.
What if I still owe money on my mortgage?
Tell our local buyer that there is a mortgage on the property. The escrow officer reviews what is owed and how the mortgage would be handled through closing. Ask that professional to explain the paperwork and proposed closing statement so you understand how the existing loan affects the transaction.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?
Whether a sale can proceed depends on who has authority to sell and what the estate requires. Ask the estate's attorney to explain those questions before committing to a sale. Our local buyer can discuss the house as-is, while the attorney and closing professional address the documents and authority needed to proceed.
Can I sell a house while tenants still live there?
You can talk with our local buyer about a rental that is occupied. Explain the tenancy, any lease and how access to the property is arranged. Ask an attorney about your responsibilities to the tenants. The occupancy details need to be part of the discussion so the buyer understands the property being considered.
How fast can I sell my house for cash?
You choose a closing date with the buyer once the title work is done. Start by sharing the property address and explaining your moving plans when the buyer calls. After reviewing the offer, discuss the closing and possession arrangements together so you know when you would hand over the house and keys.
Do I have to clean out everything before I leave?
You can ask the buyer to accept unwanted belongings with the house. Leaving items behind needs the buyer's agreement, so explain what you want to leave before signing. Put the arrangement in writing, including any furniture or other items discussed, so you can plan what to take when you move.
Am I obligated to accept a cash offer?
You decide whether to accept the no-obligation offer from our local buyer. Asking about your house or receiving a proposal does not commit you to selling. Read the terms and ask your questions before deciding whether to sign a purchase agreement. You can decline if the proposal does not suit your plans.
Who is the buyer, and who answers my call?
Our local buyer is an investor who buys houses directly, as-is. We connect your inquiry with that buyer. A recorded phone call is answered by a virtual assistant who takes your name, phone number and property address. The assistant only collects those contact details; the buyer calls you to discuss the house and an offer.
