Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about selling your home for cash.
About Us
What is a cash home buyer?
A cash home buyer is a real estate investor or company that purchases properties directly from homeowners using its own funds, without mortgage financing. Because there is no lender involved, the sale skips appraisals, underwriting, and financing contingencies that cause traditional deals to fall through. Cash buyers typically purchase homes as-is — no repairs, no staging, no agent commissions. Most cash sales close in 7 to 14 days compared to 60 to 90 days for a financed purchase.
What types of situations do you help with?
We work with homeowners in all kinds of situations: pre-foreclosure on a deadline, inherited properties, divorce asset splits, tired landlords, and homes needing major repairs like foundation work, roof replacement, or code violations. We also help with job relocations, vacant properties racking up carrying costs, and homes with title issues or liens. If you need to sell and the traditional market is not a fit, we can likely help.
What areas do you serve?
We buy homes across the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Bellevue, Everett, and surrounding communities in Washington state.
Process
How does the process work?
Fill out our short form or call us directly. We review your property details and present a fair cash offer within 24 hours — no cost, no obligation. If you accept, we open escrow with a local title company, handle all paperwork and closing costs, and close on the date you choose. Most sellers go from first call to cash in hand within 10 to 14 days. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging required.
How quickly can you close?
We can close in as few as 7 days from the day you accept our offer. Most sales close in 10 to 14 days. Compare that to a traditional listing: 30 days on market plus 30 to 45 days in escrow waiting on buyer financing — 60 to 90 days minimum. With a cash sale there is no lender, no appraisal contingency, and no financing that can fall through, so the timeline is entirely in your hands.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Absolutely not. Our offers are completely free and come with no obligation. Get your offer, take your time, compare it to other options, and make the decision that's right for you.
Property
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We buy homes in any condition — fire damage, foundation issues, outdated kitchens, hoarding situations, you name it. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging required.
Pricing
How do you determine your offer price?
We start with the after-repair value — what your home would sell for in fully renovated condition based on recent comparable sales in your neighborhood. From there we subtract estimated repair costs, holding costs, and our margin. We show you the comps, the repair estimates line by line, and the final math so you can see exactly how we arrived at our number. No pressure, no obligation.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. Zero. We don't charge commissions, service fees, or closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing. No surprises.
How does a cash sale compare to listing with an agent?
Listing with an agent typically means 5 to 6 percent in commissions, repair and staging costs, 30-plus days to find a buyer, and another 30 to 45 days to close if financing holds. A cash sale eliminates commissions and repair costs and closes in as few as 7 days. The trade-off is a cash offer is usually below full retail value because the buyer takes on renovation risk. For sellers who need speed or certainty, the net difference is often smaller than expected.
