Straight, answer-first guidance on selling your house fast for cash — the process, offers, and every situation we help with across the Northeast.

The Selling Process
How does selling my house for cash work?
Selling to us is a simple four-step process. You tell us about the property, we present a no-obligation cash offer (usually within 24 hours), you choose a closing date that works for you, and we close with a local title company — you get paid with no repairs, commissions, or hidden fees. Learn more about how we work.
How fast can I sell my house?
Most cash sales close within 7–30 days. You pick the timeline: we can move in as little as 7–14 days for urgent situations like a looming foreclosure auction, or schedule a later date if you need more time to relocate.
What happens after I accept the offer?
We coordinate a closing date that fits your schedule and handle all the paperwork. At closing, the sale is finalized and you receive your payment. There is nothing for you to prepare, repair, or clean out beforehand.
Do I need a real estate agent or an inspection?
No. Because we make a direct cash offer, there is no listing, no showings, no agent commission, and no bank-ordered inspection to coordinate. We handle due diligence ourselves.
Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?
None. Requesting an offer is completely free and there is no obligation to accept. We cover the standard closing costs, so the process costs you nothing out of pocket.

Cash Offers & Pricing
How do you calculate my cash offer?
We base every offer on your property’s condition and recent comparable sales in your area, then account for any repairs or title work needed. It is a fair, data-driven number — never a lowball or high-pressure ultimatum.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. The cash offer we make is the amount you receive at closing. You pay no agent commissions and no hidden closing fees.
How are you able to buy houses so quickly?
We’re investors backed by a network of cash buyers and private lenders, so we don’t wait on bank financing. That lets us make offers within 24 hours and close in days when needed.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. There are no upfront costs at any point. The process is free from the first conversation through closing.
🏠
Property Types & Condition
Do I need to make any repairs?
No. We buy houses as-is in any condition — from move-in-ready homes to properties that need significant work. No repairs, cleanouts, or staging required.
What types of property do you buy?
We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhouses, multi-family buildings, and vacant properties. If you’re unsure whether your property qualifies, just ask.
Can you buy a house that still has tenants?
Yes. We buy occupied and problem rental properties, including homes with difficult tenants, and no eviction is required before the sale.
⚠️
Foreclosure & Pre-Foreclosure
Can you help if I’m facing foreclosure?
Yes. We help homeowners avoid foreclosure by purchasing quickly — often closing in as little as 7 days to stop a sale and protect your credit. With your written permission, we can even speak with your lender’s loss-mitigation department as a serious cash buyer. See how the foreclosure process works.
How late in the process can you still help?
The earlier you reach out the more options you have, but we can step in at almost any stage — whether you’ve just missed a payment, received a pre-foreclosure notice, or already have a sale date scheduled.
Will selling stop the damage to my credit?
Selling before a foreclosure completes can help you avoid the most severe credit impact and pay off what you owe. We’re not attorneys, so we always recommend confirming specifics with a licensed professional.
📜
Probate & Inherited Houses
Can you buy an inherited house?
Yes. We work directly with executors and heirs to buy inherited property — often before probate has fully closed — so you don’t have to manage, clean out, or renovate a home you didn’t plan to keep. Learn about selling a house in probate.
What if the property is still in probate?
That’s common and not a problem. We’re experienced with probate timelines and partner with local attorneys to keep the sale moving as the estate is settled.
What if there are multiple heirs?
We can structure a clean cash sale that lets multiple heirs divide the proceeds simply and fairly, avoiding the delays of a traditional listing.
💔
Divorce & Life Transitions
Can you help sell a home during a divorce?
Yes. We provide a fast, neutral cash sale so both parties can divide the proceeds and move forward without a drawn-out listing process. Learn about selling during divorce.
How do you keep the sale neutral between both parties?
We communicate transparently with everyone involved and provide a clear, written offer, so the sale stays straightforward and neither party is disadvantaged by a slow market process.
📋
Title Issues & Liens
Can you buy a house with title issues or liens?
Yes. We specialize in properties with title problems, liens, back taxes, and other legal complexities. Partnering with trusted local attorneys, we work to resolve the issues so the sale can close.
What about unpaid property taxes?
We regularly buy homes with delinquent property taxes and can factor payoff into the transaction so the debt is cleared at closing.
🔑
Closing & Payment
Who handles the closing and paperwork?
We close with a reputable local title company that manages the paperwork and ensures clear title. You don’t have to coordinate anything.
How and when do I get paid?
You’re paid at closing on the date you chose. Funds are typically delivered by wire or certified check through the title company.
Can I pick my closing date?
Absolutely. You choose the date — fast if you need speed, or later if you need time to move. There’s no bank financing to wait on.
🌳
Land & Vacant Property
Do you buy vacant houses or land?
Yes. We buy vacant houses and land, including properties that have sat empty, need clearing, or carry code violations. Learn about selling a vacant house.
What if the property has code violations?
We buy properties with open code violations as-is and factor any required remediation into our offer, so you don’t have to resolve them first.
