How selling to us works

How does selling my house for cash work?

Tell us about the house by phone or the form. We look at it in person or by video, then give you a written cash offer with no obligation. If you accept, a licensed Florida title company handles the paperwork and the money, and you close on the date you choose.

We can close as soon as the title company confirms the title is clear. Most simple sales can close within a couple of weeks. If you need more time, we close later. You pick the date.

No. We buy houses as-is. You don't need to repair, paint, clean or even empty it. Take what you want and leave the rest.

None. The offer is free. You can take time to think about it, talk to family, or compare it with listing your home.

No. We buy directly. There are no signs, open houses or listing photos.

Money and costs

How do you decide your offer?

We look at what similar homes in the neighborhood sell for once they're fixed up, then subtract the cost of repairs, holding costs and a reasonable margin. We'll walk you through the numbers.

No. There are no commissions and no fees. We also pay the normal closing costs.

A cash offer is usually below full retail price. But when you subtract commissions, closing costs, repairs, months of mortgage, insurance, taxes and utilities while the house sits on the market, the difference is often smaller than people expect. See our cost comparison on the home page.

Yes. Your mortgage is paid off from the sale at closing. If you owe more than the house is worth, we can talk about a short sale with your lender.

By wire transfer or cashier's check from the title company at closing.
