Questions About Selling Your House for Cash
Have a question about selling your house for cash? These answers are a place to start. You are also welcome to call and talk about your own situation.
Where do you buy houses?
We consider houses in Butte, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tulare and Yuba counties. See our California service areas.
Do I need to repair or clean up the house first?
No. You can contact us while the house is still as it is today. We can discuss needed repairs and any belongings you would like to leave. Any agreed arrangements will be included in the purchase terms. Required disclosures still apply to an as-is sale.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at the location, nearby sales, the house’s condition, needed repairs and the costs and risks of owning and reselling it. An updated house on the open market may sell for more than an as-is cash offer. Compare your selling options.
How soon could I receive an offer?
We aim to make an offer within 24 hours after we have the information needed to review the house. Some homes take longer to evaluate.
How soon could the sale close?
Some purchases can close in as little as seven days. The date depends on the agreement, title work, any estate approvals and other requirements. We can discuss what works with your plans and confirm the agreed date in writing.
Are there fees or commissions?
We do not charge an agent commission on our cash purchase. The agreement will explain which closing costs we cover. Loans, liens, taxes and other balances may affect the amount you receive. The closing team can help explain those figures before you decide.
Is this a cash purchase or an agent listing?
Our cash-offer service is an offer to buy the house. It is not an MLS listing. The agreement should identify the buyer and explain whether the contract can be transferred to another buyer. You can also compare a cash sale with listing through an agent.
Can I ask for an offer on an inherited house?
Yes. You can start the conversation while the estate or family is still sorting things out. Before closing, the closing team will need to confirm who can sign and whether estate or court approvals are required. Read our inherited-house guide.
What if tenants still live in the house?
We consider occupied rentals. We can talk about a possible purchase with the tenants in place. The sale still needs to respect the rental agreement and tenant rights. Read about selling a rental with tenants.
Can you buy a house facing foreclosure?
We can review a possible purchase, but whether it can close in time depends on the loan, ownership, deadline and other requirements. Contact your mortgage servicer and qualified advisers promptly. Asking for an offer does not pause foreclosure. Read about selling before foreclosure.
Do I have to accept your offer?
No. You can ask about an offer and compare your options. If you decide to sign a contract, read its terms and obligations carefully.
How do I get started?
Call or fill out the short form. We can talk about your house and answer your questions. You do not need to gather paperwork before contacting us.
