Everything you need to know

We research comparable home sales in your area (often called "comps"), estimate renovation costs based on the property's condition, and factor in our operating costs and a fair margin. Our offers are based on the property's after-repair value (ARV) minus renovation costs.

We're completely transparent about this math and will walk you through every number in your offer. Unlike some buyers, we don't arbitrarily lowball — we need to purchase enough homes to stay busy, which means making genuinely competitive offers.

Likely, yes — but the comparison isn't apples-to-apples. A listed home sale involves agent commissions (5–6%), closing costs (1–3%), repair costs, holding costs during the listing period, and the risk of a buyer's financing falling through.

When you factor in all those costs and the certainty our offer provides, the net difference is often much smaller than sellers expect — and many find our offer is actually the better financial outcome overall.

Absolutely none. Requesting an offer is completely free and commits you to nothing. You can take as long as you like to decide, compare our offer with other options, or simply say no — with no follow-up pressure, no repeated calls, and no hard feelings.

Our written offers are valid for 30 days and can often be extended beyond that. Market conditions may require a slight adjustment if an offer is more than 60 days old, but we'll always notify you before making any changes and explain why.

From initial contact to offer, typically 24 hours. From accepted offer to closing, as little as 7 days — though most sellers choose 14–30 days to allow time for moving. The timeline is entirely up to you once you accept the offer.

Nothing at all. Don't repair anything, don't clean, don't paint. You can even leave furniture and personal items — we handle all of that after closing. Your only job is to show up at closing and sign the paperwork.

We'll typically request a brief walkthrough of the property before finalizing the offer — usually 15–20 minutes. In some cases, we can make an offer based on photos and our market research alone. We'll let you know during the process.

We handle all the paperwork — purchase contract, title search, and closing documents. You'll review and sign the purchase agreement when you accept the offer, and then sign the closing documents at the title company. Most sellers describe our closing as surprisingly simple.

None of the standard closing costs. We cover title insurance, escrow fees, recording fees, and any other typical seller-side closing costs. The offer we write is the amount you receive — no deductions at the table.

The only exception would be any liens or back taxes on the property, which are paid from the sale proceeds before you receive your funds (as is standard in any real estate transaction).

Funds are disbursed via wire transfer to your bank account on the day of closing. In some cases, a cashier's check can be arranged. You typically have access to your funds the same day or the next business day.

Yes. Once you accept our offer, you set the closing date. We can close as fast as 7 days or as far out as 90 days — whatever works for your situation. We can also accommodate leaseback arrangements if you need time to move after closing.

Yes. We purchase properties with fire damage, water damage, foundation issues, roof failures, outdated systems, code violations, and any other condition-related challenges. Our renovation team is experienced with properties in severe distress.

Primarily single-family homes, but we also purchase condos, townhouses, duplexes, and small multi-family properties (2–4 units). We evaluate vacant land on a case-by-case basis. Mobile homes and manufactured homes are not currently something we purchase.

Yes. We can purchase tenant-occupied properties. We'll need to review any existing leases and follow proper legal procedures around tenant notification. We'll walk you through the process when you reach out.

Yes — and the sooner you reach out, the more options you have. A fast cash sale before the foreclosure auction can stop the process, protect your credit, and potentially put equity back in your pocket. See our foreclosure page for more detail.

We purchase properties in probate regularly and work directly with estate attorneys. We understand probate timelines and can structure the sale accordingly. Visit our inherited property page for more information.

Yes. Our title company can disburse funds to multiple parties at closing. We'll work with you and any other heirs (or the estate attorney) to coordinate disbursement according to the estate's instructions.

Absolutely. We work with out-of-state sellers. The entire process can be handled remotely, including signing documents electronically and receiving funds via wire transfer. You don't need to travel for the sale.
