Frequently Asked Questions
If your question is not here, call us on 801-421-4212 and ask.
How fast can you buy my house?
Most sellers get a written cash offer within 24 hours of reaching out, and we can close in as little as 7 days. If you need more time, you pick the closing date - some sellers choose 60 or 90 days out so they can find their next place.
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions, no listing fees, and no hidden charges. We also cover normal closing costs. The number in your offer is the number you walk away with.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
Not at all. We buy houses completely as-is. That includes homes with fire or water damage, foundation issues, code violations, or a house still full of belongings. Take what you want and leave the rest.
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at what comparable homes in your area have actually sold for, then subtract the cost of the repairs and updates the property needs plus our margin. We will walk you through the math so the offer makes sense to you.
Is the offer really no-obligation?
Yes. You are free to take the offer, think it over, or walk away. We will not pressure you, and we will not keep calling if you tell us you have decided against it.
What kinds of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, mobile homes on land, and vacant lots. We buy occupied, vacant, and tenant-occupied properties in every state.
Do you buy houses in my state?
Yes - Trusted Homebuyers USA buys houses for cash in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Find your state page for local details on timelines and closing costs.
What if I owe more than the house is worth?
We may still be able to help. In some cases we can negotiate a short sale with your lender or structure the purchase to cover the payoff. Tell us your situation and we will be straight with you about your options.
More Questions
Are you actually buying, or will you assign the contract to someone else?
We buy with our own funds. In some markets we work with vetted local partners, and if that were ever the case with your property we would tell you before you signed anything.
Why is a cash offer lower than my Zestimate?
A Zestimate is an automated guess at retail value for a house in good condition. Our offer accounts for the repairs the property needs, the carrying costs while we do that work, and our margin. The trade is a lower gross figure against zero fees, zero repairs, and a guaranteed close.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes?
Yes, where the home sits on land you own. Homes in a leased-lot park are harder and depend on the park's rules.
Can you buy a house with an existing mortgage on it?
Yes. That is the normal case. The mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing and you receive the difference.
How do I know the offer is fair?
Ask us to show our working, and we will. We will tell you what comparable homes sold for and what we think the property needs. You are also completely free to get other offers - we would encourage it.
What if I change my mind after accepting?
Talk to us. We are not in the business of forcing people to sell houses they have decided to keep.
How quickly will someone contact me?
Usually within a few hours during business hours, and always within one business day.
