Sell your house and walk away clean. Cash offer in 24 hours.

Your take-home is the sale price minus what you owe and the standard closing costs. The title company gives you the exact number in writing 3 business days before closing, no agent commission, no buyer-side surprises. Here is every line in a typical cash sale (Florida shown; rates and who-pays customs vary by state):

Most cash buyers can only offer what fits their own plan. Wholesalers hide their fee inside your price. We do both at once: our own money competes against our buyer network, and you get the higher of the two numbers. Same price to you whether we close (Path A) or a network buyer does (Path B).

Cash trades price for speed. Typical cash offers run 65–85% of open-market value; our two-path model usually lands at the higher end. The gap looks big at first, but once you subtract agent commission (5–6%), repair credits, and a few months of mortgage, insurance, taxes, and utilities while the house sits, the real difference is usually only 5–10%. Want top dollar and have time? Use an agent. Want fast and certain? Get a cash offer →

Your mortgage is paid off first, at closing, through the title company. You keep whatever is left. You never handle the payoff yourself.

No, not unless you ask. Within 24 hours you get a written response by email. If we need to see the house, we book one visit on your schedule. We only call if you told us it’s OK. No surprise visits. No repeat calls.

A licensed title company (or, in some states, a closing attorney), a neutral third party, never us. They confirm you own the home, search for any debts against it, hold the earnest money and all funds, and prepare the paperwork. Every closing in the states we operate in runs through a licensed title company or attorney.

Wire fraud is the single biggest risk on closing day. We send a written warning 7 days before closing. Before you wire anything, call the title company at a number you looked up yourself, never from the wire-instructions email. Watch for last-minute changes, “act now” pressure, lookalike email addresses, or anyone asking you to keep it secret. Once money is sent it is almost impossible to recover. Questions any time: [email protected].

Once you sign, both sides are committed; backing out can cost your deposit, and in every state we operate in a buyer can try to enforce the sale. But we would rather hear “I can’t do this” than fight you in court, tell us early and we will usually release you from the contract. Just don’t go silent on the title company, since unwinding the work costs money.

Yes, when public records suggest a home might fit, by phone, text, email, or DM. We follow the stricter of the federal and your state’s rules: 8 AM–8 PM local time, no more than 3 calls in 24 hours on the same subject, and no robocalls or pre-recorded messages without your OK (the federal TCPA, plus the telemarketing laws of Florida, Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio, full detail in the Privacy & Compliance section). To stop hearing from us: text STOP, email UNSUBSCRIBE, or just say so, we honor it immediately.

No. Share what’s going on and we can match the offer and timing to it; stay private and we work with what we see. A probate that’s dragged on a year, a tenant who stopped paying, a divorce, a foreclosure notice on the counter, we close in all of these. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.

13–31 days from the day you sign. Longer only if the title has problems that take time to clear, and we tell you up front if that’s the case.

No. We buy as-is. The shape it’s in when you sign is the shape it’s in when we close, leave behind whatever you don’t want and we clear it out after closing.

Three things: you fix nothing, you guarantee nothing about the condition, and the buyer takes on inspecting. But AS-IS does not let you hide problems, every state we operate in requires sellers to disclose serious hidden defects they actually know about, keep up basic maintenance until closing, and deliver clean title. (In Florida, that disclosure duty comes from Johnson v. Davis (1985); Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio have their own versions of the same rule.)

Until we close, the home is still yours, and the contract spells out who carries the risk. In Florida the rule is the FAR/BAR Standard M; Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio use their own standard contract risk-of-loss terms that work much the same way. The Florida version:

The lease transfers to the new owner, and the security deposit is handled at closing under your state’s landlord-tenant law (in Florida, F.S. §83.49; Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio have equivalent deposit-transfer rules). You don’t have to move anyone out.

Sort of, we can assign the contract to a vetted cash buyer (Path B), but we can also buy it ourselves (Path A). Same price to you either way. Your earnest money sits with a licensed title company or closing attorney, and any assignment fee is paid by the buyer, never out of your price.

Your price, date, and terms stay exactly the same, and we notify you in writing within 10 business days. The contract protects you regardless of who owns us.

Only what we need to make you an offer and close: the property address, your name, phone, and email; anything you choose to tell us about the property or your situation; and basic technical data (IP, device, pages viewed) from normal website analytics. We use it to evaluate the property, prepare an offer, respond to you, and meet our legal and closing obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t process sensitive data for advertising.

Only the parties needed to close your sale, the title company or closing attorney, our network buyer if one closes (Path B), and our own software/hosting providers under contract. We share when the law requires it. We never sell your data or hand it to unrelated marketers.

We operate in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio, and we apply the strongest applicable standard across all of them as one baseline, so no matter which state you’re in, you can ask us to: see what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, get a copy, and opt out of any sale or targeted advertising (we don’t do either). To exercise any of these, email [email protected] and we’ll confirm and act within the timelines the law allows. You can appeal a decision by replying to that same address.

We’re a small business, so most state comprehensive-privacy statutes either exempt us or set thresholds we don’t meet, but we honor the rights anyway. For the record: Texas’ Data Privacy and Security Act exempts SBA-defined small businesses (except for selling sensitive data, which we don’t do); Florida’s Digital Bill of Rights applies only to companies above $1 billion in revenue; Delaware’s Personal Data Privacy Act (effective Jan 2025) uses consumer-volume thresholds; Georgia and Ohio have no comprehensive consumer-privacy law yet, so their general consumer-protection and data-breach statutes apply. Federally, there is no single privacy law, the FTC Act governs unfair or deceptive practices, and California residents are covered by the CCPA/CPRA if they reach us.

We keep your information only as long as needed to do what you asked, meet legal and closing-record obligations, and resolve any disputes, then we delete or de-identify it. We protect it with reasonable administrative and technical safeguards and notify affected people and regulators if a breach legally requires it, under each state’s data-breach law.

Yes, by phone, text, email, or DM when public records suggest a property might fit. We follow the strictest of the federal and state rules that apply, which in practice means: calls only between 8 AM and 8 PM in your local time, no more than 3 calls in any 24 hours on the same subject, and no autodialed or pre-recorded calls or texts without your prior express written consent. This tracks the federal TCPA, Florida’s Telephone Solicitation Act (F.S. §501.059) and §501.616, and the telemarketing/no-call statutes of Texas, Georgia, Delaware, and Ohio.

Text STOP to any text, reply UNSUBSCRIBE to any email, or just tell us on a call. Under Florida’s law a texted “STOP” starts a short statutory grace period; in practice we honor every opt-out right away and add you to our internal do-not-contact list. We also scrub against the National Do Not Call Registry and each state’s no-call list.

Submitting the cash-offer form asks us to contact you about your offer, that’s a solicited, requested contact, not marketing. It does not sign you up for automated marketing blasts, and you can withdraw it any time with STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE.

Every commercial email we send follows the federal CAN-SPAM Act: a truthful subject line and sender, our real physical mailing address, a clear way to opt out, and we stop within 10 business days of any opt-out. Transactional emails about an offer or a closing you’re part of aren’t marketing, but you can still tell us to stop.

No. We never sell, rent, or trade your email or any other contact information. It’s used to talk with you about your property and nothing else.
