Process
From first hello to closing day.
Here is what usually happens when you ask us for a cash offer. You can stop at any step before you sign a contract.
-
You tell us about the house
Fill in the short form or call us. We ask for the address, the basics of the house, its condition and the timing you have in mind.
We also ask about your situation, because it shapes which route is likely to serve you best.
Usually a few minutes -
We talk, and we look at the house
Someone from our team calls to go over the details. In most cases we then arrange a short visit at a time that suits you. Sometimes photos are enough.
Please don't clean up or make repairs for us. We want to see the house as it is.
Often within a few days -
You receive a written cash offer
We walk you through how we reached the figure: what similar houses nearby have sold for, what repairs are likely to cost, and what we need to cover our own costs and risk.
We also show you how the offer compares with listing the house. If listing looks like the better route for you, we'll say so.
No obligation to accept -
You decide
Take the time you need. Talk it over with family, an agent, an attorney or a CPA. A good decision rarely comes from pressure.
If you accept, we both sign a purchase contract. Read it carefully, and ask us about anything that isn't clear.
Your call, your pace -
A title company handles the closing
A local title company checks the title, prepares the documents and collects any payoffs, such as a mortgage, liens or back taxes. Your title company is a great resource for questions about those figures.
On closing day you sign, and the title company pays out your proceeds. You choose the date, whether that is soon or further out.
Often two to four weeks after signing
What can slow a sale down?
Title issues are the usual cause: an open probate, an old lien, or an owner who needs to be located. These can often be worked out, but they may add time. We'll keep you posted along the way.
Ready when you are

It takes a few minutes, and it doesn't commit you to anything.
