Sell directly to us. Fast, simple, no repairs.
You get a fair cash offer, pick your closing date, and skip the repairs, the cleaning, and the showings.
How it works
- Tell us about the houseCall, text, or send a few details: the address, your timing, and what’s going on.
- We take one lookOne visit to see the home. No showings or open houses.
- You get an offer and pick the dateIf it works, you choose the closing date. If it doesn’t, you’ve lost nothing, and we’ll point you to a better path.
What it costs you
- Commission and fees
- $0
- Closing costs
- We pay them
- Repairs and cleaning
- None. You sell it as it is
- Time to close
- As little as 7 days, usually 7–14
The trade: a direct sale usually brings in less than a perfect listing. You trade some price for speed and no hassle. The net sheet shows how close the numbers can be.
A good fit if
- You need to move quickly
- The house needs repairs you don’t want to make
- You inherited a home you don’t want to manage
- You’d rather skip showings and open houses
Maybe not if
- Your home is ready to move into and you’re not in a hurry. Listing usually brings in the most, and we’ll say so
- You’d rather stay in the home. See keeping it, below
List with an agent. The best price, when you can wait.
If your home is ready to move into and you’re not in a hurry, listing usually brings in the most. We’ll tell you plainly when that’s your best move.
How it works
Get the home ready, go on the market, then negotiate and close. Plan on 45 to 90+ days from listing to closing, with showings and open houses along the way.
What it costs you
- Agent commission
- About 6% of the sale price
- Closing costs
- About 2–3%, paid by the seller
- Repairs and prep
- Usually needed to get the best price
- While you wait
- Mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities
Typical ranges. We’ll go over your own numbers with you.
A good fit if
- Your home is ready to move into
- You aren’t in a rush
- Getting the highest price matters most
Maybe not if
- You need to close in a few weeks
- The house needs more work than you want to take on
- You’d rather not deal with showings
Keep the home. Get past the rough patch.
Sometimes the best move is staying. If you love your house but money or life has gotten tight, we’ll help you think through what could work.
How it works
- Tell us what’s going onShare the situation and what’s worrying you. Take your time. There’s no judgment here.
- We look at the ways to stayRefinancing (could a new loan ease the pressure?), renting the house out, or other ways to get past short-term financial trouble.
- You decideIf staying works, great. If it doesn’t, we’ll go over the other paths with you.
We’ll help you think it through. For loan or tax advice, you’ll want to talk with a lender or advisor too.
A good fit if
- You love your home and want to stay
- The trouble feels short-term
- You’d like time to think before deciding
Maybe not if
- The payments are too much to keep up with and you want out. Selling directly or listing may fit better
Creative solutions. When the usual paths don’t fit.
Not every situation fits a box. When the usual paths don’t fit, we look at other options together, like seller financing and lease options.
What these are, in plain English
- Seller financing
- The seller carries the loan instead of a bank, and the buyer makes payments to the seller over time under agreed terms.
- Lease option
- The buyer rents the home with the option to buy it later at an agreed price. They don’t have to buy.
- Something else
- If your situation is unusual, tell us about it. We’ll see what we can do.
Terms depend on the situation. You’re always free to have your own attorney or title company review anything before you sign.
A good fit if
- A regular sale doesn’t solve your situation
- You’re open to something other than a regular sale
- You’d like steady payments over time
Maybe not if
- You want a clean, one-time payout now. A direct sale or a listing is simpler
Want the numbers? Run your own.
The sale price isn’t what lands in your pocket. Our net sheet compares what you’d keep from listing against a direct offer, using your own numbers. It takes about a minute.
How it can add up Example figures
In this example, selling direct gives that up, but you close in 7 to 14 days with no repairs, showings, or months of house payments and bills. Your numbers will tell the real story.
Example only: a $300,000 sale price, $150,000 still owed on the mortgage, 6% commission, 2.5% closing costs, $8,000 in repairs, $1,800 a month in costs while you wait, for 2.5 months, and a $255,000 cash offer.
Straight answers.
The questions homeowners ask us most. Don’t see yours? Ask us directly.
What does “as-is” mean?
It means you sell the home in the condition it’s in today. If you sell directly to us, there are no repairs, no cleaning, and no showings. We just visit once so we can see the house.
Will I get less money selling directly than listing?
A direct offer is often lower than the best-case listing price, because you’re trading some price for speed, certainty, and skipping repairs, showings, and months of house payments and bills. Once commission, closing costs, and those costs come out, the gap can be smaller than it first looks. Run your own numbers on the net sheet.
How do I know which option is right for me?
Start with what matters most: speed, price, or staying put. Then talk to us. We’ll go over the numbers together and tell you what we’d do in your position.
What are seller financing and a lease option?
With seller financing, the seller carries the loan instead of a bank, and the buyer pays the seller over time under agreed terms. With a lease option, a buyer rents the home with the option to buy it later at an agreed price, and doesn’t have to buy. Terms vary, so have your own attorney or title company review any agreement before you sign.
Do I have to decide on the first call?
No. The first conversation is free, with no obligation. Take the time you need.
