How fast can I get my cash?

We can close in as little as 7 days, which is much faster than listing with an agent. If you need more time, that’s no problem. You pick the closing date that works best for you, and we’ll work around your schedule.

How much will an investor pay for my house?

We look at what your home would be worth fixed up, subtract the cost of repairs, and add a small profit for taking on the project. That’s how we come up with a fair cash offer, with no fees or extra hassle.

Will I get a fair offer for my house?

Yes. We look at the condition of your home and recent sales in your area to make a fair, competitive cash offer. Our goal isn’t to lowball. It’s to give you a hassle-free sale without repairs, cleaning, prep work, fees, or delays. Many homeowners find that when you factor in speed and convenience, our offers stack up very well against the traditional market.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions?

Sell Your House in 3 Simple Steps

No agents. No repairs. No waiting. Here’s how our cash home buying process works — from first contact to cash in hand.

Step 1

Tell Us About Your Property

Share your address and a few details about your home’s condition. No inspection needed, no paperwork yet — just a quick conversation or form submission.

We work with all situations: foreclosure, inherited homes, code violations, or simply a house you need to move on from quickly.

Step 2

Receive a Fair, Same-Day Cash Offer

We assess your property and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours — sometimes the same day.

Our offer is based on real market data, not lowball tactics. There’s zero pressure to accept and no fees if you walk away.

Step 3

Choose Your Closing Date

Close on Your Schedule. We handle all the paperwork, title work, and coordination. No repairs to make, no cleaning required, no agents taking a cut.

We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across DC, VA, MD, FL, TX, NC, and GA close quickly and move forward.

Need a Little Extra Time After Closing? That’s Okay.

Selling the house is one step. Figuring out your next move is another.

That’s why we offer our 30-Day Flex Stay™ option. It gives some homeowners the ability to sell their home and stay in it for up to 30 days after closing.

For many homeowners, especially those moving out of a long-term home or coordinating a downsizing move, having extra time after closing can make the transition much easier.

That extra time can make things a lot easier if you’re coordinating a move, downsizing, waiting on your next home, or just trying to avoid feeling rushed.

We’ll walk you through the details upfront so you can decide whether it makes sense for your situation.

How It Works

Close on your timeline
Stay in the home for up to 30 days after closing
Move when you’re ready

This Can Be Helpful If You’re:

Coordinating your next move
Downsizing from a long-term home
Waiting for your next property to be ready
Trying to avoid moving out immediately after closing

That’s it. No Agents. No Banks. No Delays.
We’ll even include 30-Day Flex Stay™!

3 Step Home Sale vs Other Options

No repairs, no fees, no stress — just a faster, easier way to sell.

The average home is currently taking 62 days on market from generating any offer to close according to Realtor.com. We can still close in as little as 7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a House for Cash

How fast can I sell my house for cash?

Most homeowners can close in as little as 7 days. If you need more time, you can choose a later closing date that works for your schedule. The timeline is flexible and based entirely on your needs, not lender approvals or buyer financing.

Do I need to make repairs or clean my house before selling?

No. We buy houses as-is, meaning you do not need to make repairs, clean, stage, or prepare the property in any way. Homes are purchased in their current condition, regardless of damage, age, or needed updates.

Are there any fees or commissions when selling for cash?

No. There are no agent commissions, no hidden fees, and no closing costs paid by the seller. The cash offer you receive is the amount you take home at closing, with no deductions or surprises.

How is the cash offer for my house determined?

The cash offer is based on local market data, the property’s condition, estimated repair costs, and comparable home values in the area. This approach allows us to make a fair, realistic offer without requiring inspections or appraisals.

Am I obligated to accept the cash offer?

No. There is no obligation to accept the offer. You are free to review it, ask questions, and decide what’s best for your situation. If you choose not to proceed, there is no pressure or cost.

What types of properties do you buy?

We buy a wide range of properties, including homes needing major repairs, inherited or probate properties, rental homes with tenants, vacant houses, and properties facing foreclosure. Condition and situation do not prevent a sale.

Do you buy houses in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure?

Yes. We regularly work with homeowners facing foreclosure or pre-foreclosure. Selling for cash can help stop the foreclosure process and provide a faster exit option, depending on timing and circumstances.

What areas do you serve?

We buy houses throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, including the greater DC Metro Area. If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, you can call to confirm service availability.

How does closing work when selling for cash?

Once you accept the offer, closing is handled by a licensed local title company or attorney. All paperwork is prepared professionally, funds are transferred securely, and you receive your payment on the agreed closing date.

Is selling a house for cash safe and legitimate?

Yes. Cash home sales are a legitimate option used by many homeowners who value speed and simplicity. Transactions are completed through licensed title companies, with clear contracts and transparent terms.
