The process, demystified
How selling your house to us actually works.
Three steps, no mystery: tell us about the house, get a real number, close on your date. Here's the whole thing in detail — including exactly how we calculate your offer, and what happens when we visit.
Tell us about your house
Type your address into the form (about 30 seconds) or call us. We'll ask a few simple questions — condition, timeline, what's going on — and never with pressure. From that alone we can usually give you a real cash offer within about 24 hours.
Get a fair cash offer
We check recent sales around you, factor in the house's condition, and make a written cash offer. If a quick visit makes the number stronger, we'll schedule one at your convenience — about an hour, no preparation needed. The number we put in writing is the number: we don't re-trade it later.
Close on your date
Accept when you're ready — you get three business days after signing to change your mind. A licensed Florida title company handles escrow, payoffs, and paperwork. Two to three weeks if you're in a hurry; later if you're not.
How we decide your number — the actual math
Most companies keep this vague. We'd rather show you the math, because you'll see it at the closing table anyway:
- What your house would sell for fixed up. We pull recent nearby sales of comparable homes in good condition — the same comps an appraiser would use.
- Minus what it costs to get it there. Roof, HVAC, kitchen, cleanout — the repairs and updates the next owner would have to make. During a visit we look at the same things an inspector would: the exterior, the major systems, the big rooms.
- Minus our costs and margin. We're a business — carrying costs, closing costs, and a margin for the risk we take on. We don't hide that; it's how we're able to pay cash and close fast.
Straight talk: a cash offer is usually below full market value — that's the trade for speed, certainty, and paying nothing in repairs, commissions, or closing costs. When we present your number, we walk you through every line of it, so you can compare it honestly against listing with an agent. Sometimes listing wins, and we'll tell you when it does. And once your number is in writing, it stays — the industry's post-inspection price drop is a game we don't play.
What to expect when we visit
The visit is the part people quietly dread — a stranger walking through the house. Here's exactly how it goes, so there's nothing to dread:
- It takes about an hour, scheduled when it suits you — evenings and weekends included.
- Don't clean. Don't fix. Don't move anything. The house's condition is already part of the math — prepping changes nothing except your stress level.
- We look at what an inspector would: a walk around the exterior, the roof's age, the AC and water heater, kitchen and bathrooms, and any repairs you already know about.
- Ask us anything. The visit is as much for your questions as our walkthrough — about the process, the timeline, the paperwork, or the number itself.
- It costs nothing, and you owe nothing. Often we can confirm your offer on the spot. Take it, sleep on it, or pass — no follow-up pressure either way.
After you accept
We sign a plain-language purchase agreement — with your three-business-day right to cancel written into it — and open escrow with a licensed Florida title company. The title company verifies title, settles any mortgage or liens directly from the proceeds, and closes on the date you chose. You sign, the money is wired to you, and you hand over the keys when you're ready. If we assign the purchase to a partner buyer in our network, nothing changes for you: same price, same date, same title company holding the funds.
General information, not legal or financial advice. Every closing runs through a licensed Florida title company; your agreement and its three-day cancellation clause govern the specifics.
