Seller FAQ — Common Questions About Selling Your House for Cash
Answers to the questions homeowners ask most about selling a house for cash: how the process works, the timeline, the fees, and exactly what to expect from us.
Frequently asked questions
How does your process work?
It's simple: (1) You fill out our form or call us with your property details. (2) We evaluate the property and present a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. (3) If you accept, you pick the closing date and we handle all the paperwork. Most deals close in 7–14 days. There's no cost to you at any point.
Do I need to make any repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses in any condition — from move-in ready to major rehab needed. Fire damage, mold, foundation issues, hoarder situations, code violations — we've seen it all and we buy as-is. You don't need to clean, paint, or fix anything.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
Zero. There are no agent commissions, no service fees, and we typically cover all closing costs. The offer we give you is what you walk away with. No hidden deductions.
How do you determine your offer price?
We look at recent comparable sales in your area, the property's condition, estimated repair costs, and current market conditions. We're transparent about our numbers — if you want to see how we arrived at our offer, just ask and we'll walk you through the math.
Can I sell if I have tenants in the property?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties regularly. You don't need to evict anyone or deal with showings. We'll handle the tenant situation after closing. This is one of the most common reasons landlords sell to us instead of listing.
What if I'm behind on my mortgage payments?
We can still help. If you're facing pre-foreclosure or have missed payments, a fast cash sale can help you avoid foreclosure on your record. We work with your lender and can often close before the foreclosure process completes. Call us immediately if you're in this situation — timing matters.
Can I sell an inherited property?
Yes. We work with inherited properties frequently, including those in probate. If you've inherited a house and don't want to deal with repairs, cleanouts, or the listing process, we can make an offer. We can also work with your probate attorney to ensure everything is handled properly.
How fast can you actually close?
Our fastest close was 5 days. Most deals close in 7–14 days. If you need more time (for example, to find a new place to live), we're flexible — you pick the closing date that works for you. We can also do a rent-back arrangement if you need to stay in the home after closing.
Is your offer negotiable?
Our initial offer is based on our best analysis of the property. That said, if you have information we don't (recent upgrades, comparable sales we missed, etc.), we're open to discussion. We want the deal to work for both sides.
What areas do you buy in?
We're actively buying in San Diego County and Riverside County, California. This includes cities like San Diego, Escondido, Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, Temecula, Murrieta, Riverside, Corona, and surrounding areas. If you're not sure if we cover your area, just ask.
What types of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-family (2–4 units), and mobile homes on land. We also consider vacant land in some cases. If it's residential and in our market area, we're interested.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Absolutely not. Our offer is 100% no-obligation. If it doesn't work for you, no hard feelings. We'll never pressure you. Many sellers get our offer just to have a baseline number, even if they decide to list later.
How is this different from those 'We Buy Houses' signs?
We're a licensed, insured, and locally operated real estate company — not a national call center. You'll work directly with our acquisitions team, not a random caller. We provide full transparency on our numbers, use reputable title companies, and have a track record of closed deals in your market. We're also 10DLC-compliant for all communications.
What happens after I submit the form?
Within 24 hours (usually much sooner), someone from our team will call or text you to discuss your property and situation. If it's a fit, we'll schedule a quick property visit (or use photos/video if you prefer), then present a written cash offer. No pressure, no obligation at any step.
