Frequently asked questions

Does a cash buyer pay closing costs?

That depends on the agreement. When you sell with SellMyHouse.co, typical closing costs are paid on your behalf. The buyer’s side may have its own costs. What matters for you as the seller is what comes out of your proceeds, and the terms of any offer you receive will spell that out.

What is a seller's net sheet?

A seller’s net sheet is an estimate of what you’ll walk away with after all costs and fees are deducted from the sale price. Your agent or a title professional can prepare one based on your situation. It’s a useful planning tool before you decide how to sell.

Do sellers pay closing costs when selling to a cash buyer?

It depends on the terms of the sale. When you sell with SellMyHouse.co, we pay typical closing costs. Transfer taxes and recording fees set by state and local law still apply. There’s no agent commission deducted from your offer.

Are closing costs negotiable?

Some costs are negotiable and some aren’t. Agent commissions are negotiable. Transfer taxes and recording fees are set by state and local law and not negotiable. Title insurance premiums and escrow fees vary by provider and can sometimes be shopped. A real estate attorney or agent can help you understand which fees have flexibility.

When do sellers pay closing costs?

Most seller closing costs come out of your proceeds at closing rather than being paid out of pocket beforehand. You’ll receive a closing statement that shows each fee and what your net proceeds will be.

What closing costs do sellers typically pay?

On a traditional sale, sellers typically pay agent commission, title and escrow fees, owner’s title insurance, transfer taxes, and prorated property taxes. HOA transfer fees may apply if the property is in an association. The total varies depending on location, sale price, and whether there’s an agent involved.

Does selling fast mean leaving money on the table?

Not necessarily. An overpriced home that sits on the market often ends up selling below a correctly priced one. And when you factor in avoiding carrying costs, repairs, and commissions, a cash sale can be competitive with a traditional listing.

What hurts a fast home sale the most?

Overpricing is the single biggest factor. Poor listing photos, limited showing availability, and deferred maintenance can also slow sales significantly.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

If you’re listing on the MLS, repairs and presentation matter. If you’re selling to a cash buyer, no repairs are needed. Cash buyers purchase as is.

What is the fastest way to sell a house in 2026?

Selling to a cash home buyer is one of the fastest methods. You skip prep, showings, and financing contingencies.

How fast can you sell a house?

Cash sales can close much faster than a traditional listing. A traditional listing averages 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to closing, not counting time on the market before an offer comes in.

How long does it take to get an offer?

After a property visit, most cash home buyers can put an offer together fairly quickly. The timeline varies by buyer.

What happens if I don't like the offer?

You’re never obligated to accept. If the offer doesn’t work for your situation, you can decline and explore other options. There’s no pressure and no cost to find out where things stand.

Does the buyer inspect the home before making an offer?

Most cash home buyers schedule a property visit before finalizing their offer. This lets them see the home’s condition firsthand and make sure their offer reflects what they’re taking on.

Is a cash offer always lower than market value?

Typically, yes, because the buyer is taking the home as is and pricing in repair and resale costs. How much lower depends on the home’s condition, the local market, and how the buyer runs their numbers.

Do cash home buyers negotiate?

It varies by buyer and situation. Some buyers are open to conversation, especially if you have questions about how they arrived at their number. It’s always fair to ask.

Do I have to make repairs before accepting a cash offer?

No. Cash home buyers purchase homes in almost any condition. You don’t have to fix anything, clean out the property, or spend money getting it ready. The buyer’s offer reflects the home’s current condition.

How quickly can a cash sale close?

Cash sales can close faster than traditional sales because there’s no lender timeline to wait on. The exact timing depends on the buyer and your situation. At SellMyHouse.co, we work to close on a schedule that works for you.

How do I know if a cash buyer's offer is fair?

Compare the cash offer against what you’d actually take home from a traditional sale. Factor in what you’d spend on repairs, agent commissions, closing costs, and the time the home would be on the market. A cash offer that looks lower on the surface can sometimes come out ahead once those costs are accounted for.

Do cash buyers do inspections?

Some do and some don’t. Cash buyers aren’t required to have an inspection, and many purchase homes as is without one. If a cash buyer does request an inspection, it’s typically to understand the home’s condition, not because a lender is requiring it.

Is a cash offer always better for the seller?

Not necessarily. A cash offer can provide a faster, simpler sale, but it isn’t always the highest offer. What makes the most sense depends on your home, your timeline, and what matters most to you.

If you need to sell quickly or your home needs repairs, a cash offer may be a good fit because you can typically sell as is without waiting for traditional financing. If your home is in good condition and you have more time, listing it on the open market may give you a chance to receive a higher offer.

How do I know the cash buyer is legitimate?

Ask for proof of funds and look for a buyer with a track record. Experienced cash home buyers will be transparent about how they calculate offers and what the closing process looks like.

Do I still need a real estate attorney if I sell to a cash buyer?

It depends on the state. Some states require an attorney at closing; others use title companies. A cash buyer will explain the local process when you review the offer.

Can I negotiate with a cash buyer?

Yes. Cash offers are not a take-it-or-leave-it situation. You can ask questions, counter, and walk away if the offer doesn’t work for you.

Do cash buyers pay fair prices?

Cash buyers price based on the home’s condition and market value. Most offers come in between 70% and 85% of market value. In exchange, you get speed, certainty, and no repairs or commissions.

Can I sell my Myrtle Beach investment property?

Yes. Cash home buyers often purchase investment properties and vacation homes in Myrtle Beach.

What if my Myrtle Beach home needs repairs?

Cash home buyers purchase in almost any condition. No repairs are required before you receive an offer.

Are there commissions when selling with SellMyHouse.co?

No. There are no agent commissions.

How does SellMyHouse.co work in Myrtle Beach?

You tell us about your property, we match you with a cash home buyer, and if the offer works for you, you close on your schedule. No cost, no obligation.

Can I sell my Myrtle Beach home if flood insurance is very expensive?

Yes. Cash home buyers don’t require traditional flood insurance coverage, so high premiums don’t block the sale.

Can I sell my Greenville home quickly?

Yes. Cash home buyers don’t need to wait on lender timelines, so closings can happen much faster than a traditional sale.

What if my Greenville home has structural issues or needs major renovations?

We buy houses in Greenville, SC, regardless of their condition. Whether it needs a new roof, foundation repairs, or a full cosmetic overhaul, you can still request a cash offer.

Are there commissions when selling with SellMyHouse.co?

No. There are no agent commissions.

How does SellMyHouse.co work in Greenville?

You tell us about your property, we match you with a cash home buyer, and if the offer works for you, you close on your schedule. No cost, no obligation.

No. There are no agent commissions.

How does SellMyHouse.co work in Columbia?

You tell us about your property, we match you with a cash home buyer, and if the offer works for you, you close on your schedule. No cost, no obligation.

Can I sell my Columbia home if it has prior flood damage?

Yes. Cash home buyers purchase properties as is, including homes with prior flood damage. The disclosed history factors into the offer.

Do I have to disclose the 2015 flood damage when selling my Columbia home?

Yes. South Carolina requires sellers to disclose all known material issues, including prior flood damage, on the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement. Cash home buyers are familiar with this requirement.

How quickly can I close on my New Orleans house?

Cash sales typically move faster than traditional sales because there’s no traditional lender approval process, flood insurance requirement, or appraisal involved. We’ll work on matching you with a buyer who can fit your timeline.

What is the Act of Sale, and how does it work in New Orleans?

Louisiana uses an Act of Sale instead of the standard deed used in most other states. It’s a formal document prepared and recorded by a licensed Louisiana notary. The result is the same as a deed. Your cash home buyer will work with a closing notary and handle the coordination on your behalf.

I have an older home, like a shotgun or a cottage, that needs work. Can a cash buyer still make an offer?

Yes. Cash home buyers are used to working with New Orleans’s older homes. They don’t need the home to meet a traditional lender’s condition requirements, so the age or condition of the house won’t stop the sale.

My home is in a flood zone. Will that stop the sale?

Not with a cash buyer. Cash buyers don’t need a traditional lender’s approval and aren’t required to carry flood insurance to make the purchase, so a flood zone designation that could stall a traditional sale doesn’t get in the way here.

Do I have to fix my house before selling to a cash buyer in New Orleans?

No. Cash home buyers purchase homes in almost any condition. You don’t have to make repairs, clean out belongings, or do anything to get the house ready.

Do I need a real estate attorney to sell my house in Savannah?

Yes. Georgia law requires that a licensed attorney oversees residential closings. Fortunately, your cash buyer will coordinate with a local closing attorney to handle the paperwork for you.

What is Georgia's transfer tax, and who pays it?

Georgia charges $1 for every $1,000 of the sale price. On a $330,000 home, that’s $330. Sellers typically pay it at closing. Your cash home buyer can walk you through what to expect so there are no surprises.

I'm on military orders and need to sell quickly. Can you help?

Cash sales typically close faster than traditional sales because there’s no traditional lender approval process or appraisal involved. We’ll work on matching you with a buyer who can fit your timeline.

My home is in the historic district. Can I still sell it to a cash buyer?

Yes. Cash home buyers are used to working with older and historic properties, including homes that would need Historic District Board of Review approval and a Certificate of Appropriateness before a traditional buyer’s repairs could even start. Selling to a cash buyer skips that process entirely, since no repairs are required before closing.

Do I have to fix my house before selling to a cash buyer in Savannah?

No. Cash home buyers purchase homes in almost any condition. You don’t have to make repairs, clean out belongings, or do anything to get the house ready.

How quickly can I close on my Baton Rouge house?

Cash sales typically move faster than traditional sales because there’s no traditional lender approval process or appraisal involved. We’ll match you with a buyer who can fit your timeline.

What is the Act of Sale, and how does it work?

The Act of Sale is how real estate transfers in Louisiana. Instead of a standard deed, the state uses this formal document, which is prepared and recorded by a licensed notary to achieve the same result. Your cash home buyer will work with a closing notary and coordinate the process on your behalf.

My home is older and needs significant work. Will that stop the sale?

No. Cash home buyers are used to working with older homes in Baton Rouge’s established neighborhoods. They don’t need the property to pass a lender’s condition inspection, so foundation issues, outdated systems, or major repairs won’t stop the sale.

My house took on water in 2016. Can a cash buyer still make an offer?

Yes. Cash buyers don’t need to satisfy a traditional lender’s requirements around flood history or prior damage. A home that’s difficult to finance the traditional way because of its flood history isn’t a problem for a cash buyer.

Do I have to fix my house before selling to a cash buyer in Baton Rouge?

No. Cash home buyers purchase homes in almost any condition. You don’t have to make repairs, clean out belongings, or do anything to get the house ready.

Does Opendoor buy fixer-uppers?

Not typically. Opendoor focuses on homes in good condition. Significant repairs are usually reflected in steep deductions or an outright rejection.

Can I get offers from both and compare?

Yes. Both platforms are free to request offers from, with no obligation to accept.

Is Opendoor's fee comparable to a real estate commission?

Opendoor’s service fee is roughly comparable to a listing agent commission, but sellers also pay repair deductions and closing costs on top of it. Since Opendoor no longer publishes a fixed fee percentage, the exact total depends on your specific offer.

Can I get multiple cash offers to compare?

Yes. There’s no obligation to accept any offer, and requesting multiple offers costs nothing.

Which option is the fastest?

Selling to a cash buyer is the fastest option, as closing often happens in a matter of weeks. FSBO and agent-listed sales typically take 60 to 90 days or more from listing to close.

Which option gets the most money?

On paper, a well-executed agent-listed sale in a competitive market gets the highest gross offer. In practice, commissions, repairs, and carrying costs reduce the net. A cash offer at 80-85% of market value with no fees can produce a comparable net outcome.

Do I need to be present at closing?

In most states, sellers can sign remotely or in advance. Confirm with your title company or closing attorney.

What documents do I need to sell my house?

You’ll typically need your mortgage payoff statement, property deed, disclosure forms, HOA documents (if applicable), and a government-issued ID for closing.

How long does the home selling process take?

A cash sale can often close in a matter of weeks. A traditional listing typically takes 30 to 45 days for the closing process itself, and that’s on top of however long the house sits on the market before finding a buyer.

What happens if I leave the house empty before it sells?

A vacant house still requires insurance, utilities, and basic maintenance. If it sits empty for an extended period, vandalism and weather damage become real risks. A cash sale that closes before or shortly after your move removes that exposure.

What if my house needs repairs?

A cash home buyer typically purchases the property as is. You don’t have to make repairs before closing. The offer accounts for the property’s current condition.

Can I choose a closing date that lines up with my move?

Yes. You set the closing date. That’s the main advantage of a cash sale when you’re relocating: the timeline is yours, not the lender’s.

What if I need the equity from the sale to buy my next home?

A cash sale typically closes faster than a traditional sale, which helps. You’ll know what you’re getting from the offer before you commit, so you can plan your next purchase around a real number.

Do I have to be there for the closing if I've already moved?

Not necessarily. Many closing procedures can be handled remotely through a title company, or you can sign documents before you leave. Ask the title company about remote or mail-away closing options.

Can I sell my house fast if I'm relocating for work?

Yes. A cash home buyer can often close faster than a traditional financed sale and, more importantly, on a date you choose. You’re not waiting on mortgage underwriting or an appraisal to clear.

How long does selling a house with a lien take?

In most cases, it takes no longer than selling a house without a lien. We can close on your schedule. The lien payoff is handled at closing by the title company, so it typically doesn’t slow things down the way it might in a financed sale.

What if the lien is bigger than what my house is worth?

That’s a situation where talking to a title professional or real estate attorney first makes sense. In some cases there are options, like negotiating the lien down or exploring other paths. We can help you understand what a cash home buyer would offer so you have a full picture before you decide anything.

Can a cash home buyer purchase a house with multiple liens?

Often, yes. Cash home buyers in our network are familiar with liens and have worked through these situations before. The title company confirms what’s owed, manages the payoffs, and makes sure the title is clean before the sale closes.

Does a lien affect how much I walk away with?

Yes. The amount owed on the lien comes out of your proceeds at closing. If there’s little equity left after the lien payoff and other costs, you may walk away with less than you expected. It’s worth knowing where you stand before you commit to selling.

What happens to a lien when you sell?

The lien is typically paid off at closing from your sale proceeds. The title company confirms the amount owed, pays the lienholder directly, and the lien is released before the deed transfers. If the lien is larger than your available equity, that’s a more complicated situation. A title professional can help you understand your options.

Can you sell a house with a lien on it?

In most cases, yes. Liens don’t stop a sale. They just have to be resolved before the title transfers to the new owner. In many situations, that happens at closing. A cash home buyer can often purchase the property and let the title company handle the payoff as part of the process.

Are there any fees to sell my house to you?

No. Requesting and reviewing an offer is completely free, and there’s no obligation to accept it.

How fast can I sell my house for medical bills?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. From there, you close on your schedule.

Do I need to make repairs before selling due to medical bills?

No. A cash home buyer typically buys the house as is, so you don’t need to spend money on repairs before you sell.

What if there's a lien on my house from unpaid medical bills?

Liens typically get resolved as part of closing, using the sale proceeds. A title company or real estate attorney can confirm what liens exist on your property before you sell.

Will selling my house cover all my medical debt?

It depends on how much equity you have after your mortgage and any liens are paid off. If there’s little or no equity left, selling may not cover everything you owe.

Can I sell my house to pay off medical bills?

Yes. Many homeowners sell for exactly this reason. Once you close, you can use the proceeds toward whatever bills or debt you’re dealing with.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover damage to a vacant house?

Probably not. Standard homeowner’s policies often limit or exclude coverage after a property has been vacant for 30 to 60 days. It’s worth a quick call to your insurance agent to check your specific policy and see if a vacancy endorsement makes sense.

Does it matter how long the property has been vacant?

Not for a cash buyer. Whether the house has been empty for three months or three years, a cash home buyer can typically purchase it as is. Longer vacancy may mean more deterioration, which the offer will reflect.

What if the property has code violations or has been cited by the city?

A cash home buyer can often purchase a property with open code violations or liens. The violations may be resolved from the sale proceeds at closing or accepted by the buyer.

Can I sell an abandoned property I inherited?

In most cases, yes, once the property has been properly transferred to you through the estate. If the property is still in the deceased person’s name, it may need to go through probate first.

What happens to back taxes on a vacant property when I sell?

In most cases, delinquent property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds at closing before you receive your net amount. The title company handles the payoff as part of the closing process.

Can you sell a vacant house as is?

Yes. A cash home buyer typically purchases the property in its current condition. You don’t have to make repairs, clean it out, or stage it before closing.

Do I need to make repairs before selling my house?

No. Cash home buyers typically purchase houses as is, so you don’t need to spend money on repairs before requesting an offer.

How fast can I sell my house if I have no equity?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. If your sale requires short-sale approval, the overall timeline will depend on your lender’s review and approval process.

Will selling for cash fix having no equity in my house?

Not by itself. If you owe more than your house is worth, a cash buyer doesn’t eliminate the difference between the sale price and your mortgage balance. If a short sale is required, your lender still needs to approve it.

Can I sell my house if I owe more than it's worth?

In many cases, yes. If you owe more than your house is worth, your lender may need to approve a short sale before the sale can move forward.

Can I sell multiple rental properties at once?

In some cases, yes. If you want to sell an entire portfolio, reach out and tell us what you have. A cash home buyer in our network may be able to purchase multiple properties, though each offer is based on the individual property’s condition and situation.

What if my rental property needs major repairs?

A cash home buyer typically purchases as is. You’re not required to make repairs before closing. The offer reflects the property’s current condition.

Can I sell if the property has code violations or an open lien?

In most cases, yes. A cash home buyer can often purchase a property with code violations or open liens. These are typically resolved at closing through the sale proceeds.

What if the tenant stops paying rent during the sale process?

A cash sale typically closes faster than a traditional listing. The fewer months between accepting an offer and closing, the less unpaid rent accumulates. A cash buyer purchasing a property with a non-paying tenant will factor that into the offer.

Do I have to tell my tenant I'm selling?

State and local laws vary, but most jurisdictions require the landlord to provide some form of notice to tenants before or during a sale. A real estate attorney in your area can tell you what’s required where your property is located.

Can I sell my rental property with tenants still living there?

In most cases, yes. The tenant’s lease transfers to the new owner at closing. A cash home buyer can often purchase the property with tenants in place, so in most cases you don’t have to evict first.

What happens to the mortgage on a probate property?

The mortgage doesn’t go away when the owner dies. The estate is typically responsible for continuing payments while probate is open. At closing, the mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds before the remainder goes to the estate. If the mortgage balance is higher than the sale price, the estate may need to negotiate with the lender.

Can a cash buyer purchase a probate house before probate is finished?

In some cases, yes. In states with simplified administration, the executor may be able to sell without waiting for probate to fully close. In others, the court must confirm the sale first. The buyer can often sign a purchase agreement early and wait for the confirmation hearing to complete the closing.

Do all heirs have to agree to the sale?

Not necessarily. The executor generally has the authority to sell without unanimous heir approval, but heirs must usually be notified. If heirs dispute the sale, it can create delays. A probate attorney can advise on the specific rules in your state.

Who has the authority to sell the house?

Typically the executor named in the will or the administrator appointed by the court if there’s no will. They act on behalf of the estate and have a fiduciary duty to get fair value for the property.

How long does it take to sell a house in probate?

It depends on the state and the complexity of the estate. Some states have expedited or independent administration that allows the executor to act quickly. Others require a confirmation hearing that can add months. The probate process itself can run from a few months to more than a year. A cash sale can reduce the time the house sits on the market once the executor has authority to sell.

Does the house have to go through probate before it can be sold?

Not always. If the property was held in a living trust, transferred via a transfer-on-death deed, or held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship, it may pass outside probate. When the property is in the deceased person’s name alone, it typically must go through probate before clear title can transfer to a buyer.

Can you sell a house while it's in probate?

In most cases, yes. The executor or court-appointed administrator typically has authority to sell real property as part of settling the estate. Some states require court confirmation before the sale closes; others allow the executor to act independently. A probate attorney in your state can clarify what’s required.

Do I need to hire an attorney to sell a house with mold?

It’s not required, but it’s worth consulting a real estate attorney in your state, particularly if the mold is extensive or has already been the subject of a prior disclosure dispute. State-specific disclosure rules vary and an attorney can help you understand your obligations.

Will a cash buyer purchase a house with structural damage too?

In most cases, yes. Cash home buyers in our network often purchase properties with foundation issues, water-damaged framing, or other structural problems. The offer accounts for the repair cost.

Can I sell a house with black mold?

In most cases, yes, especially to a cash home buyer. Black mold is a serious defect that must be disclosed. It often requires substantial remediation that a lender won’t waive. A cash buyer can purchase the property as is and take on the remediation themselves.

How much does mold remediation cost?

Costs vary widely depending on the scope and location of the mold. Minor surface mold may cost a few hundred dollars to remediate. Mold in wall cavities, HVAC systems, or structural members can cost $10,000 to $30,000 or more. A licensed mold inspector in your area can give you an accurate estimate.

What happens to mold during a traditional home sale?

A buyer’s lender will typically require a mold inspection as part of the financing process. If active mold is found, the lender usually requires a written remediation plan and proof of completed remediation before funding the loan. This can delay or kill the sale.

Do I have to disclose mold when selling a house?

Yes. Mold is a material defect and must be disclosed in virtually every state. Selling as is does not eliminate your disclosure obligation. Failing to disclose known mold can expose you to a post-closing legal claim.

Can you sell a house with mold without fixing it?

In most cases, yes, if you’re selling to a cash home buyer. A cash buyer has no lender requiring remediation before the loan funds. You must still disclose known mold to any buyer. The offer will reflect the condition of the house.

Do I need to clean out the house before selling it to you?

No, and this is one of the biggest reliefs for families dealing with an inherited house. Take anything you want to keep, and leave everything else exactly where it is. A cash home buyer will buy the house belongings and all, so there’s nothing left for you to sort, haul, or decide about under pressure.

How fast can I sell an inherited house for cash?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. From there, you close on your schedule.

Do I need to make repairs before selling an inherited house?

No. A cash home buyer usually buys the house as is, so you don’t need to make repairs or updates before you sell.

Can I sell a house that's still in probate?

In many states, yes, once you’re named executor or administrator, though some states require court approval first. A probate attorney can confirm the rules where the property is located.

Will I owe capital gains tax if I sell an inherited house?

Often little or none. Your cost basis resets to the home’s fair market value on the date of death, so you’re typically only taxed on any increase in value after that. A tax professional can confirm your specific numbers.

Do I need to go through probate before selling an inherited house?

In many cases, yes, though it depends on how the property was titled and your state’s rules. If the house was in a trust or had a transfer-on-death deed, probate may not be required at all. A probate attorney can confirm what applies to your situation.

Are there any fees to sell my house to you?

No. Requesting and reviewing an offer is completely free, and there’s no obligation to accept it.

How fast can I sell my house after losing my job?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. From there, you close on your schedule. If speed is your main priority, in some cases we can close in under a month.

What should I do if I lost my job and can't pay my mortgage?

Selling for cash is often the most effective way to stop missed payments from piling up. There’s no typical mortgage approval or repairs to wait on, allowing you to close on your timeline.

What should I do if I can't afford my house anymore?

If you can’t keep up with your mortgage, it’s worth contacting your lender to ask about options for pausing or reducing payments. Selling for cash can be the fastest option if you need to move quickly.

Is selling to a cash buyer a good option if I inherited a hoarder house?

Yes. Many people selling a hoarder house are dealing with an inherited property. Selling as is means you don’t have to clean it out or make repairs before the sale.

How fast can I sell a hoarder house?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. From there, you close on your schedule.

Will you buy a house with hoarding damage?

Yes. Floors, walls, and systems affected by long-term clutter or neglect are factored into the offer.

Can I sell a hoarder house without cleaning it out first?

Yes. A cash home buyer will purchase it as is, belongings included, so there’s nothing to sort or remove before you sell.

Is there a cash home buyer network in my state?

Our nationwide network includes experienced cash home buyers across most states. Request an offer to confirm coverage in your specific area.

How fast can a local cash buyer close?

Timelines vary by buyer, but once you accept an offer, you close on your schedule.

Do local cash home buyers pay more than national ones?

Not necessarily, but local buyers often price more accurately since they know recent sales and conditions in your specific area.

How do I find a cash home buyer in my city?

Request a free offer through SellMyHouse.co, and we’ll match you with a buyer already active in your local market, no separate search needed.

Are there cash home buyers near me?

Our network covers cities and towns nationwide. Share your address and we’ll connect you with an experienced cash home buyer who works in your area.

Do I need to clean before you buy it?

No. Leave the house as it is, including any items you don’t want. Our cash home buyers typically handle cleanout as part of the purchase.

How fast will you buy my house?

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer, and you can close on your own schedule once you accept.

What's the catch with selling to a company that buys houses?

The trade-off is price, not honesty. Cash offers are typically below top market value because you’re skipping repairs, showings, and the wait for a financed buyer.

Are companies that buy houses for cash legit?

Legitimate companies are upfront about the offer process and never charge fees to request one. Every offer you receive through our network is free and non-binding.

How is this different from a traditional sale?

A traditional sale usually requires repairs, staging, and showings before you find a buyer. With SellMyHouse.co, a buyer evaluates your house as is and makes a cash offer directly, without listing it on the market.

Do you really buy houses in almost any condition?

Yes. Cash home buyers in our network often purchase houses with major repair needs, code violations, fire or water damage, and more. The condition is factored into your offer, not a reason to turn you away.

Do I need my spouse to sign if I'm selling my Louisiana house?

Yes, if you’re married. Louisiana treats property acquired during a marriage as jointly owned by both spouses. That means both of you need to sign the closing documents, even if only one name is on the title. Your cash home buyer will make sure the closing is set up correctly.

What is the Act of Sale, and how does it work?

The Act of Sale is how real estate transfers in Louisiana. Instead of a deed signed at a standard closing, Louisiana uses a formal document prepared and recorded by a licensed notary. It has the same result as a deed in other states. Your cash home buyer will work with a closing notary and coordinate the process on your behalf.

In most cases, the insurance proceeds are yours to keep even after you sell, unless you choose to assign the claim to the buyer as part of the sale. If you have a mortgage, expect your lender to be involved, since they’re typically named on the insurance check too. An insurance agent or attorney can confirm how your specific policy handles this.

When should seniors sell their home?

Some sell right when they retire, while others wait years, and some sell only after a health change makes the decision for them. There’s no schedule to follow. Selling for cash simply means that whenever you decide, you don’t have to add a long listing process on top of an already big life change.

How do I know it's time to downsize my home?

There’s no test that tells you for sure, but a few signs are common: you’re using fewer rooms than you’re paying to heat, cool, and maintain, upkeep has started to feel like a burden instead of routine, or you find yourself avoiding parts of the house altogether. If any of that sounds familiar, it’s worth exploring your options, even if you’re not ready to sell yet.

Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours of requesting an offer. From there, you close on your schedule, whenever works best for your move.

What can I do about bad tenants?

Can I sell my house with tenants who aren't paying rent?

How do I sell a house with a tenant who won't leave?

You don’t have to wait for them to leave or force them out yourself. A cash home buyer takes on the property and the tenant once the sale closes.

Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?
In many cases, yes, though it depends on your state and where the estate stands. Probate timing is a legal question, so a local estate attorney can confirm exactly what’s needed before you sell.
What if my house needs major repairs I can't afford?
You don’t need to make any repairs. Our cash home buyers purchase houses in as-is condition and factor any needed repairs into the offer, rather than asking you to fix anything first.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living in it?
In most cases, yes. Many cash home buyers in our network purchase tenant-occupied properties and handle the transition as part of the sale.
Does my situation affect the amount of my cash offer?
Your offer is based mainly on your home’s condition, location, and current market value, not the reason you’re selling. Sharing your situation just helps us connect you with a cash home buyer and a timeline that fits.
Can I sell my house as is without an inspection?
Yes. Most cash home buyers in our network do their own walkthrough instead of requiring a formal inspection. You’re not required to fix anything they find.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell as is?
No. Selling as is through SellMyHouse.co skips the agent, the listing, and the showings entirely. You work directly with a cash home buyer matched to your home.
What's the difference between selling as is and selling for cash?
Selling as is means no repairs are required before the sale. Selling for cash means the buyer pays without relying on traditional financing. With SellMyHouse.co, most sellers do both.
Will I still get a fair price if I sell as is?
Yes. Your offer is based on your home’s location, condition, and current market value. While an as-is home may sell for less than a fully renovated one, you avoid spending money on repairs, cleaning, staging, and other costs that come with a traditional sale. At SellMyHouse.co, you’ll receive a fair cash offer, allowing you to choose the best path forward.
Do you have to disclose issues when selling as is?
Usually, yes. Selling a house as is doesn’t eliminate your legal obligation to disclose known issues. Disclosure requirements vary by state, but sellers are generally expected to share information about significant issues, such as foundation damage, roof leaks, or major plumbing or electrical problems. If you’re unsure what your state requires, consult a local real estate attorney before selling.
Is selling a house as is a red flag to buyers?
Not usually. Selling as is signals honesty about the home’s condition, not a hidden problem. Buyers in our network specialize in buying homes as-is and expect repairs to be needed. That’s one of the main reasons a cash buyer is a good fit.
Is selling my house for cash a good idea?
It depends on what matters most to you. If speed and certainty matter more than getting the highest possible price, selling for cash is a good fit. A cash sale skips repairs, showings, and financing delays. You trade the possibility of a higher price from a traditional listing for a faster, more predictable process.
How fast can I close when I sell my house for cash?
Once you accept a fair cash offer, you and your cash home buyer agree on a schedule that works for you. You close on your timeline, not the buyer’s.
