Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really going to pay cash, or is this a gimmick?
We purchase properties directly with cash — no bank financing, no mortgage contingencies. That's why we can close in as little as 10 days and why our offers don't fall through at the last minute.
Do you only make cash offers?
Mostly, yes — cash is the fastest and simplest. But sometimes a creative offer, like seller financing or a lease-back, puts more total money in your pocket or fits your tax and timing needs better. If you're interested, we'll present a creative option alongside the cash offer so you can compare them directly.
How do you decide what to offer for my house?
We look at what comparable homes near you have recently sold for, then factor in the cost of any repairs or updates the house needs and our costs to buy, hold, and resell it. We're happy to walk you through the math — transparency is how we earn trust.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions, no service fees, and we cover typical closing costs. The offer we make is what you receive at closing, minus anything you still owe on the property (like your mortgage payoff).
What does selling "as-is" actually mean?
It means we buy the house exactly as it sits today. Don't repair, don't repaint, don't even clean out the closets. Houses with major repairs, code violations, fire damage, or inherited belongings are all fine — take what you want and leave the rest to us.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Never. Our offer is free and no-obligation. Compare it with what an agent thinks your home would list for. Plenty of homeowners do exactly that — and we think you should.
How fast can you actually close?
As fast as about 10 days when the title is clean, since there's no lender involved. Need more time? We'll close on whatever date works for you — even months out.
My house has tenants. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We regularly buy rental properties with tenants in place — including difficult tenancies. You don't need to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end.
I'm behind on payments / facing foreclosure. Can you help?
Often, yes — but time matters. A cash sale before auction can protect your remaining equity and limit the damage to your credit. Reach out as early as you can so there's time to close before the auction date.
Which areas do you buy in?
All over the Puget Sound region: Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, Burien, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Everett, Tacoma, and surrounding communities. Not sure if we cover your area? Just ask.
What happens after I submit the form?
We'll reach out — usually the same day — to ask a few questions about the property and your timeline, then prepare your written cash offer, typically within 24 hours. Your information stays private and is never sold.
