Who this is for

When speed or certainty matters

A cash offer isn't for everyone. It's worth seeing if one of these sounds like you.

You inherited a homeSettle the estate without cleaning out, fixing up or months of showings.
You're relocatingMove on your schedule instead of carrying two homes.
It needs workRoof, HVAC, foundation or flood repairs you'd rather not take on.
You're done being a landlordSell with tenants in place and skip the turnover.
Life changedDivorce, downsizing or a new chapter where a clean, quick sale helps.
You need to buy firstUnlock your equity so you can make a strong offer on the next home.

Cash Plus$0
Paid in two partsCash at closing, then your Reserve back when we resell it as-is. Program fees and resale costs run about 14%. If it resells for less, the difference comes out of your Reserve.
List it with us$0
Typically 30 to 60 daysYou make the repairs, then we sell it on the open market. Commission, closing costs and concessions run about 7%.
Listing could net about $0 more. Whether that's worth the extra time is your call, and we'll help you weigh it either way.

Estimates for illustration only, not an offer or appraisal. Repair costs are rough averages for each condition. Real cash offers come from third-party buyers and depend on the home, its condition and the market. Commission and closing costs vary and are negotiable.

How it works

One request. Every option.

  1. Tell us about your homeAbout two minutes of quick taps: the address, its condition and your timeline.
  2. We gather your offersYour home goes out to our cash buyer network, and we build a listing net sheet from recent nearby sales.
  3. See them side by sideBrian and Janelle walk you through each option and what you'd actually net, by video or in person.
  4. You chooseTake the cash, take Cash Plus, list it, or do nothing. We handle the sale whichever you pick.
Why we show you both

A cash offer is a great tool when you need speed. But most homeowners who see the numbers side by side decide listing is worth a few extra weeks, and some take the cash because it really is the better fit. Either way you decide with real numbers in front of you, not a sales pitch.

In our clients' words

Straight answers, real results

“Our property was a challenging sale due to a number of factors. Brian’s expertise, knowledge and marketing strategy resulted in a sale price higher than a number of other realtors we interviewed projected.”

Doug S. · Google review

“He arrived at our initial meeting having already done his research on our property and presented a clear plan of action… Brian was successful in selling our house, securing us $5,000 more than our previous, expired offer!”

Sonia T. · Google review, June 2025

“From his amazing drone videos to showcase the listing, to personal video updates about the progress/opportunities for the home… You can tell he cares about his clients and what he does.”

Questions

Before you ask

Does it cost anything to get offers?

No. Requesting your cash offers and our side-by-side comparison is free, and you're under no obligation to accept anything.

Who actually buys my home?

Cash offers come from a network of vetted investors and home buyers through Zoodealio, the platform we use. We're your agents, not the buyer, so our job is to help you compare them honestly with listing.

Do I have to make repairs?

Not for a cash offer or Cash Plus. The home is bought as-is. After you accept, the buyer schedules a quick inspection at your convenience just to verify the condition. If you list, we'll tell you which repairs actually pay off and which don't.

How does Cash Plus work?

The program buys your home and you get a first payout at closing: the offer minus a Reserve, a program fee, and the agent and closing costs for the resale (plus your normal closing costs and mortgage payoff). The program fee covers carrying the home until it resells, like taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep. We then market and resell it just like a listing. When it sells, you get a second payout: your Reserve back, plus anything above the offer price. If it sells for less, the difference comes out of the Reserve. Your Cash+ Agreement spells out the exact fees and terms.

How fast could I close?

You can close as soon as 14 days or as far out as 60 days, once the inspection and title work are done. A short leaseback or late move-out may be available. A listing typically takes 30 to 60 days from going live to closing.

What if I still owe on my mortgage?

That's normal. Your payoff comes out of the sale at closing, and we show your net after the payoff for every option.

Will you pressure me to list?

No. Some people take the cash and it's the right call. We'll show you the numbers and give you our honest take, then it's your decision.
