Frequently Asked Questions

When you list with an agent, your house goes on the open market, typically needs repairs and staging, and you wait for a buyer to make an offer — a process that can take weeks or months and usually includes an agent commission. Selling directly to us means we make you a cash offer to buy the house ourselves, as-is, without listings, showings, or waiting on a buyer's financing. It's a trade-off: a traditional listing may net a higher price for a house in good condition, while a direct cash sale generally prioritizes speed and certainty.

No. We buy houses in as-is condition, which means you don't need to make repairs, do any cleaning, or stage the home before we make an offer. We factor the property's condition into our offer, so you can walk away without spending additional time or money on the house.

Timelines vary by property and by how quickly paperwork and title work can be completed, but many sellers are able to close in as few as 7–14 days. If you need more time, we can typically work around your schedule instead.

We aim to make offers based on the property's condition, location, and current market value, minus the costs we'd expect to invest in repairs and resale. Because we're buying as-is and typically cover standard closing costs, our offer will usually be lower than what a fully renovated home might sell for on the open market — we're transparent about how we arrive at each number so you can decide whether it makes sense for your situation.

We consider properties with existing tenants. Landlord-tenant laws vary by state and can affect the timeline or process, so we'll ask for some additional details about the current lease and tenancy so we can figure out the best path forward together.

Houses with code violations, deferred maintenance, or significant repair needs are exactly the kind of properties we specialize in buying as-is. Let us know about any known issues when you reach out so we can factor them into a fair offer.

We regularly work with sellers navigating an inherited property or one that's going through probate. These situations often involve extra steps and paperwork that vary by state, so we'd also recommend speaking with an attorney or the estate's representative as needed — we're glad to work alongside whoever is handling the estate.

We don't charge sellers a commission or a fee to make an offer. We typically cover standard closing costs as well, though every offer will spell out exactly what's included so there are no surprises at closing.

If your home is currently listed, you're likely under a listing agreement, and we'd encourage you to review that agreement or speak with your agent before pursuing another offer. We're happy to make an offer regardless — what you do with it is up to you and whatever commitments you already have in place.

We understand the caution — there are, unfortunately, disreputable actors in this space. We encourage you to ask questions, verify our contact information and any offer in writing, and take whatever time you need before signing anything. A legitimate offer will never pressure you to sign immediately or ask you to pay anything upfront.

We consider single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-family properties in a range of conditions. If you're not sure whether your property qualifies, reach out and tell us a bit about it — there's no obligation.

After you submit your information, our team reviews the details and typically follows up within one business day to ask a few additional questions or schedule a quick property visit. From there, we'll present a no-obligation cash offer — you're always free to accept, decline, or simply take time to think it over.
