Quick Answer
A cash offer is a purchase where the buyer pays the full price in cash — no mortgage, no lender, no financing contingency. That means no appraisal, no waiting on a loan approval, and no risk of the deal falling through. Cash sales typically close in weeks instead of months, and they're a favorite for sellers who need speed or want to avoid repairs and showings.
Key Points
Here's the typical flow, step by step:
1. You reach out
Fill out a short form or call. You'll share the address and a few details about the condition.
2. Walkthrough
The buyer does a quick in-person walkthrough — usually 30 minutes or less. This lets them size up the repair costs.
3. The offer
You get a written cash offer with a breakdown of how the number was built. See the formula here.
4. Closing
If you accept, closing happens at a title company in 10–14 days — or on whatever date you choose. You walk away with cash.
Pros
Cons
A cash offer makes the most sense when speed, certainty, or simplicity matter more than squeezing out the last dollar. That's true when you're facing foreclosure, need to relocate fast, inherited a house you don't want, or the house needs work you can't afford. If your house is in great shape and you have 60–90 days, listing might net more — and we'll tell you that. We have a licensed agent on our team, so we can walk you through both paths.
