NEVER SELL TO A CASH BUYER WITHOUT THESE CONTRACT TERMS THAT PROTECT YOU AS THE SELLER (which we always include):

This is how you know you have a legitimate cash buyer:

(1) Earnest Money Deposit: The buyer must deposit money (a few thousand dollars shows they are serious) with a third party (called an “escrow” or “title” company) within three (3) days or less of signing the contract with you, and this third party must provide you with confirmation of receipt;

(2) A Specific Binding Closing Date: The buyer must agree to a specific time frame in the contract when they will close, and if they don’t close on that date, you get to keep their earnest money deposit (no strings attached!);

(3) Proof of Funds: The buyer must be able to show you account(s) that contain the amount they offer either before you sign the contract or no later than one (1) week after you sign the contract. If they cannot do that, they very likely do not have the money available to them and are scrambling to get it.  In this case, the contract should say that it immediately terminates so you can find a buyer who actually has the money to buy your property; and

(4) Watch Out for the Words “Assign” and “Transfer”: Many people who say they are cash buyers actually have no intention of buying your home. They want to tie it up in a contract and sell that contract to someone else, but they do not know exactly who they will sell it to and may never close. This can sometimes work out and sometimes go very badly, tying up your property indefinitely and not giving you a way out.  If you only want to deal with an actual buyer, watch out for those words!

If the buyer you are talking to will not agree to these four basic things, be very wary. You may not be dealing with a serious buyer who has the ability to close.

Why Sell Your Property to Us?

  • We will make a no-obligation cash offer in as little as 24-48 hours after touring the property.

  • We will buy the property “as is.” Sellers don’t need to make any repairs or deal with obnoxious point-of-sale requirements. We can also take care of removing any belongings left behind. We can even donate unwanted items to charity.

  • As we make quick decisions and often pay 100% of the purchase price in cash, we can close much faster than a typical retail sale where financing is involved.

  • We will pay the seller-side’s escrow fee. Since no real estate agents are involved, sellers can save around 3% to 6% of the sale price on the sales commission.

Any Condition. Any Situation. The Best Experience.

We specialize in helping relieve the pressure of property ownership. No matter the condition of your property. No matter the situation or time frame you are up against. You deserve a fair and honest experience selling your real estate.
