No problem! Your mortgage will be paid off at closing, and the lender will issue a satisfaction. You receive the difference of the purchase price after the mortgage is paid off, along with being provided a satisfaction of mortgage from the lender. Mortgages are very common and many of the properties we buy have an existing mortgage. 

We’re ready to close immediately, but there are factors beyond our control. We need to confirm the title is clear without encumbrances, which typically takes one to two weeks depending on your location. If you need to close super fast, please let us know and we’ll request a rush closing to get this done for you.

We have a “Back Up Buyer Program” offered to sellers that have another buyer back out at the last minute. If the title work is completed and you agree on a price with our local cash home buyer, they will jump in to close on the property and relieve your buyer issue. This program works well for sellers that were counting on the property to close in order to purchase another house with the funds etc..

Unfortunately, we see this happen all the time to home sellers, so we created this program to offer them a solution when a buyer backs out at the last minute. In summary, we’ll close ASAP!

Once you have an agreement with our local partner to buy your property, they send it to a neutral (third party) title company/closing attorney and open escrow with an earnest money deposit. The title company/attorney will prepare all the title work and facilitate the closing process.

You will be assigned a closing specialist that will work with you throughout the entire process as well. You can learn more about the closing process on our How It Works page.

Nope! We buy properties from homeowners all the time that aren’t local to the property. Everything will be facilitated through the title company/attorney’s office to ensure an easy and convenient closing process.

We always make a fair offer! Please keep in mind that a fair price and market value are not the same. We start with a Comparable Market Analysis, that is reviewing market data like comparable properties that recently sold, days on market, and active comparable properties to determine Market Value (the value of the property in excellent condition and newly renovated).

Then we factor the estimated cost of repairs to determine a fair offer price based on AS-IS condition. There is a full explanation of how we calculate the offer on the How it Works page as well. We also have other options to present you in addition to the cash offer, as the cash offer might not be the best option for your property or situation.

In most cases, you will receive an offer the same day as requested or even within a few minutes after the request is received. It really depends on your availability for a quick call to confirm the condition. As we want to confirm your offer is accurate, and we’re sure you do as well! So we’ll follow up with a call after receiving an offer request, and that allows us to provide you with the best cash offer for your house.

Nope! There are never any fees to request an offer, or obligation to accept the offer. All we ask is that you really want to sell the property, as we’re not a home value service. Either way, we won’t charge you anything....but we’re not in the business of providing home values. We’re serious cash home buyers that want to buy your property!

No! We Buy Houses AS-IS, and will never ask you to make repairs or clean up the property. You can also leave any unwanted items behind. Our goal is to make selling your house easy! So don't worry about anything, you can grab your toothbrush and leave the rest if you want!

We will buy it, but most of the houses we buy need repairs, updating, or have a way for us to add value and resell for a profit. If your property is perfect and you’re not in a rush to sell, we recommend that you list the property with an agent to maximize your sale price.

However, if you’re in a rush to sell and need to close fast.. Our cash offer could be a great option for you, but the trade off will be equity for convenience. On the other hand, we do offer additional options to substantially increase your offer for properties in this condition. Just ask your local cash home buyer after submitting the form!

No! We cover all the closing costs associated with a real estate transaction for the buyer and seller. We don’t charge any fees (hidden or otherwise), and no commissions! Just for clarity, when we make an offer to buy your house... That is the total price, not in addition to how much you owe on the mortgage. Your mortgage payoff is deducted at closing, and you will receive the net difference.

If you owe back taxes or liens, then you would be responsible to pay off the delinquent taxes or liens at closing, so you can provide us with a clear title. Our local partners are willing to work with you on resolving any issues to deliver clear title!

Yes! We understand that when you’re moving (especially after living in a property for years), there is typically furniture or items to be discarded/donated. There could also be items left from a tenant living in the property, or from a previously occupied inherited property.

You don’t need to deal with it, as we’ll handle it for you and make sure selling your house to us is beyond easy... It doesn’t matter what it is, you can leave it behind and let us take care of it!

Great question! It really depends on the property and your situation. There's many factors to consider when making that decision, and here's the great news for you... If for whatever reason we feel that's the best route for you, we'll be very upfront and honest about it! We also have the top agents in markets nationwide to refer you! Best place to start is request an offer first, let's see how we can help!

Working with a reputable cash home buyer is very different than listing your property with an agent! You will have flexibility and a better chance at putting more money in your pocket with a cash buyer. While location and condition of the property are factors, the situation needs to be considered as well.

We actually buy your house, while agents just list your house on the MLS to find a buyer. So you're going direct to the buyer, instead of paying a commission for someone to find a buyer for your property. 

No worries! This scenario is very common, and we deal with it all the time. The delinquent taxes can be deducted from your proceeds at closing!

Great question! There are so many supposed “We Buy Houses” companies in the market today, you should be very cautious and verify you’re working with reputable cash home buyers. Be careful of the bait and switch! These are companies that offer super high just to get a contract on the property, but have the intention on heavily reducing the price before closing. Many will do it a day or two before you're suppose to close!

At Sell House Cash we are “Truth Tellers & Truth Seekers”, so there is a very strong chance you can receive higher offers all over the internet.... The problem is they’re not real offers, and will never actually close on your property. If you’re looking for the highest price, we’re not your best option. However, if you want a real cash offer on your house and peace of mind knowing it will close, we are the best option.

If you’re honest with us regarding the condition, then our offer will be solid and ready to close. Always verify proof of funds from any potential buyers, and have them provide proof of recent properties they have successfully closed. Be careful out there, we’ve seen it all over the years!

Sometimes! We make offers sight unseen based on the information you provide and market research, but we’ll typically need to confirm the condition at some point prior to closing on the property. If you need to sell sight unseen, ask our local partner and find out if that's an option for your property!

No problem! We’re very flexible and work around your timeline. If you need to move up closing or extend closing, just let us know and we’ll work it out with you!

We do buy properties with tenants, but there is some factors to consider! Our goal is purchasing the property vacant, but we understand that sometimes it will be difficult if you have non-paying tenants who need to be evicted or perhaps squatters in the property. We offer a few options for these scenarios... If you have a little time to wait, we can assist with the eviction process and sometimes we’ll even pay for the eviction.

If you need to close immediately and don’t have time to deal with the occupants, we can still buy the property... but your offer will reflect the risk factor of tenants/squatters damaging the property and eviction costs. If occupied with performing tenants (current on rent under valid lease), we’ll purchase based on the return. Some of the factors will be; Lease terms, rent amount, and payment history. We can discuss options with you after the offer request is submitted for the property. We're interested in buying your entire portfolio, submit an offer request and let's discuss!

We offer options depending on if it's owner occupied, tenants, or squatters. You can find more details under the previous question regarding tenants in the property. Just ask your dedicated local cash home buyer, and they'll provide all the options!
