    Not All Cash Home Buyers Work the Same Way

    Search for companies that buy houses for cash and you’ll find national brands, local investors, iBuyer apps and websites that just pass your details on to investors.

    They can all buy without a mortgage, but they look for different houses and make offers in different ways. This guide compares the main types honestly, so you can decide which fits your house and timeline.

    We’re one of these companies, a local cash home buyer, and we’ll tell you when another option might suit you better.

    Red Flags to Watch For

    Most cash buyers are legitimate, but quality varies. Be careful with:

    • An offer that drops sharply right before closing for vague reasons
    • Requests for upfront fees, or for you to pay for an inspection
    • A contract that lets the buyer assign the deal to someone else without telling you
    • Pressure to sign the same day
    • No physical address, or a company you can’t find in state business records

    A trustworthy buyer gives you time to read the contract and ask questions. Read more about how we buy houses companies work and what a cash offer means.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    There isn’t one best company for every house. Local cash buyers handle houses that need repairs and complicated situations well. iBuyers usually want newer houses in good condition. Compare offers and check each company with the checklist above.

    Many are, but check any buyer before you sign: confirm the business is registered, read reviews, ask for proof of funds, and close through a title company or attorney.

    Cash buyers usually pay less than a house would sell for after full repairs, because they take on repairs, holding costs and risk. In exchange you avoid repairs, commissions, closing costs and months on the market.

    Many cash buyers can close in one to three weeks. We can close in as little as 10 days.

    It depends on the company. Some iBuyers charge a service fee. We charge no fees or commissions and pay the closing costs.
