Straight answers about selling a house fast, from people who buy them every week.
What we write about, and why
We buy houses for cash every week, in every state. That means we spend a lot of time explaining the same handful of things to sellers: how a cash offer is actually calculated, what a traditional listing really costs once you add up commission and repairs and carrying costs, and how to tell a genuine buyer from someone who will tie up your house and renegotiate later.
These articles are those explanations, written out properly. We have tried to be honest rather than promotional, including in the places where the honest answer is that selling to a cash buyer is the wrong move for you. If your house shows well and you have the time, a listing will usually net you more money, and we would rather you knew that up front.
If you would rather skip the reading and just see a number, you can request a cash offer, look at how the process works, or find the state you are selling in.
