We review the details
We may ask questions, review public records, and arrange a walkthrough.
Review your options
If we can make an offer, we explain the price and terms in writing. If another path fits better, we say so.
You decide
If you sign an agreement, a local title company handles the closing.
Timelines depend on property condition, title review, your circumstances, and the terms both parties agree to.
See the full processUnderstand the numbers, not just the offer.
A direct buyer's offer has to account for repairs, the costs of reselling, the time the property is held, and the risk that something goes wrong. Most cash buyers never show you that math. We do.
A cash offer is often below what a successful open-market listing could bring. In exchange, you skip repairs, showings, and the uncertainty of waiting for a buyer. That's a trade-off you should be able to see clearly.
Compare your options- Price paid to the seller$195,000
- Repairs, renovation & cleanup$45,000
- Resale commissions, closing, taxes, insurance, utilities, financing$30,000
- Buyer's margin for overhead and risk$30,000
This example is for explanation only. It is not an appraisal or a promise of what any property is worth. Real numbers vary by house, condition, and market.
A cash sale is one option, not the only one.
Here's how the common paths compare. The right one depends on your goals, time, and budget.
| Option | Potential advantages | Trade-offs to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Direct sale to us | May avoid repairs, showings, and a long marketing process. A more predictable closing date. | The offer may be below a successful open-market sale. |
| List with a licensed agent | May reach more buyers and produce a higher sale price. | Preparation, showings, commissions, negotiations, and time on market. |
| Repair, then sell | May improve buyer appeal and price. | Upfront cost, contractor risk, and delays. |
| Keep or rent the property | May preserve future use or rental income. | Maintenance, vacancies, management, and financial risk. |
| Get professional advice first | Useful for legal, estate, mortgage, tax, or title questions. | May take time and involve professional fees. |

We show the math
Every offer comes with a written breakdown: estimated value, repairs, costs, and our margin. No black boxes.
We never rush you
No "expires tonight" offers, countdown timers, or pressure calls. Take your time, compare, and ask questions.
We tell you when we're not the answer
If listing, keeping the property, or getting professional advice makes more sense, we'll say so, even if it means no deal for us.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. Sending an inquiry doesn't obligate you to sell. If you later sign a purchase agreement, its terms govern both parties.
Do I need to repair or clean the house first?
Not to request a review. The property's condition affects the price and whether we're able to make an offer.
How do you calculate a cash offer?
We look at local market data, the property's condition, expected repair and transaction costs, holding time, and risk. With every offer, we give you a written breakdown of those factors. It's our business calculation, not an independent appraisal.
Will I get more by listing with an agent?
Possibly. A traditional listing may bring a higher gross price, but it usually involves preparation, commissions, showings, and more time. Our comparison worksheet helps you estimate the net amount from each route.
How quickly can you close?
It depends on title, the property, documentation, and the agreed terms. We won't promise a date until we can reasonably support it.
Are there fees or commissions?
When we buy directly, there's no agent commission. Your written offer shows exactly which closing costs we expect to pay and which, if any, stay with you. [Confirm with your attorney and actual practice before launch.]
Can you buy a house that has a mortgage or liens?
Often, yes, but the payoff amounts and title must be reviewed. A sale price might not cover every obligation. A title professional, and an attorney if needed, determines what's required.
Can you stop my foreclosure?
No. Contacting us or requesting an offer does not stop a foreclosure. If you've received a notice, contact your mortgage servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor or attorney right away. See free resources.
Can I stay in the home after closing?
Only if it's agreed in writing as part of the contract. It isn't automatic.
Will you sell my information?
No. We use your information to respond to your inquiry and don't sell it. See our Privacy Policy for details.
