Frequently Asked Questions
Everything homeowners ask us about selling for cash — offers, timelines, tough situations, and how to vet any cash buyer (including us). Don't see your question? Call (888) 888-8888.

The Offer
How is the price for my house determined?
We calculate your home's After-Repair Value (ARV) — what it would sell for fully updated — then subtract repair costs, selling costs (about 10% of ARV for the commissions, taxes, title, and holding costs we pay when reselling), and a modest profit margin. We show you the full breakdown so you can see exactly how we arrived at your number.
How can I trust you'll pay a fair price?
We walk you through the numbers step by step — market value after repairs, minus repair estimates, minus standard selling expenses, minus our margin. No tricks, no lowball offers, and the offer is written. Compare it against anything: an agent's estimate, another buyer, or your own research.
Will you cover all fees, including closing costs?
Yes — closing costs, title fees, probate fees, attorney fees, notary fees, and more. What you see on paper is what you net at closing. We charge no fees of any kind.
Am I obligated to do business with you once I fill out the form?
Never. Even if we start the process and you decide to walk away, you owe us nothing — no fees, no pressure. We only make money after we buy your house and resell it.
Speed & Process
How quickly can I sell my house and get cash in hand?
After you contact us, we schedule a quick evaluation — often within a few days — and present a written all-cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, our fastest closings take about 7 days; many sellers choose up to 30 days to prepare. Cash is paid promptly at closing.
Is it possible to sell my house in one day?
Honestly, no — and be wary of anyone who claims otherwise. But our process is genuinely fast: most homes close in about 7 days, versus the 60–90 days a typical agent-listed sale takes.
Is working with a cash buyer really faster?
Yes — typically 45–60 days faster. There are no lenders to slow things down, no repairs, no staging, no showings, and no financing contingencies that can collapse a deal at the last minute.
How does this work? It's my first time.
We remove the middlemen — no realtors, lenders, appraisers, or inspectors. We run a market analysis to determine your home's after-repair value, visit the property once to assess repairs, and present a transparent cash offer. See the full breakdown on our How It Works page.
Tough Situations
Can I sell my house to a cash buyer if it's in foreclosure?
Yes. Foreclosure proceedings can stop once a sale is in progress, so a fast cash sale is often the most practical way to avoid foreclosure entirely, protect your remaining equity, and limit credit damage. We buy as-is, so repairs never hold things up.
Do you really purchase less-than-perfect homes — 'ugly houses'?
Absolutely. Fixer-uppers are a core part of our business — we renovate after we buy, so you skip the expense entirely. Houses, condos, townhomes, duplexes — any condition, any situation.
I inherited a property. Can you help with probate and selling the house?
Yes. Probate is the legal process that validates a will and distributes assets, and it can be slow and confusing — especially with multiple heirs. We work alongside your attorney and the court's timeline, buy the home as-is (belongings and all), and the title company splits proceeds among heirs at closing.
Will you still buy my house if it's in poor condition?
Yes — as-is means exactly that. After we purchase, we handle every repair and upgrade ourselves. You skip the stress and expense and still walk away with a competitive cash offer.
Choosing a Buyer
Are most 'We Buy Houses' companies safe and legitimate?
Many are honest; some are not. Protect yourself: read the agreement carefully before signing, ask for proof of past purchases, check reviews, and walk away from any buyer who lowers the price after you've agreed. The amount we promise is the amount we pay at closing.
Why don't I just list my house with an agent on the MLS?
For a move-in-ready house on a flexible timeline, listing can net more — and we'll tell you when that's true for your home. But listing also means showings, inspections, repair negotiations, ~6% commission, and 60–90+ days of carrying costs. We give you a real number to compare against that path.
Which 'We Buy Houses' company is the best choice?
That decision is yours — and you should compare. Look for a local team you can meet, transparent offer math, a real office, and written offers. We're happy to be one of the numbers you compare, and our offer comes with zero pressure.
