Common questions

How do cash home buyers work when I want to sell?

You tell us how to reach you and which property you want to sell. Our local buyer follows up, reviews the house in person or by video and prepares a no-obligation cash offer. You choose whether to accept. If you and the buyer agree to proceed, the sale closes through escrow, usually with a title company's escrow officer handling the paperwork.

Is selling to a cash buyer legit, and what should I check?

A cash purchase is a way to sell directly to an investor. Review who is named as the buyer, what the purchase agreement requires and who is handling closing. Ask the escrow officer about the documents you are asked to sign. Direct legal questions to an attorney before making a commitment you do not understand.

How is the cash offer for my house calculated?

Our local buyer reviews the property's condition, needed repairs, nearby sales and the costs of holding and reselling it. The offer depends on those details and the local market. A repaired house listed with an agent may bring a higher price; a direct cash sale trades some price for speed, financing certainty and no repairs.

Will I pay an agent commission or other selling fees?

There is no agent commission on a direct sale to our local buyer. Review the purchase agreement and closing documents for other expenses assigned to you. Ask the buyer to explain any charge you do not understand, and have the closing professional walk through the statement before you complete the sale.

How are closing costs explained on a cash sale?

Your closing costs are outlined in writing before you sign. Ask which costs the buyer will cover and which, if any, remain your responsibility. The escrow officer can explain the closing statement so you can compare it with the terms of your agreement.

Do I need to repair or clean the house before selling?

You can sell as-is without repairing, cleaning or staging the house. Let our local buyer know about damage, unfinished projects and other condition issues during the property discussion. The buyer reviews the house as it stands. If you want to leave belongings behind, discuss those items separately and get the buyer's agreement.

Can I sell if the property has liens or back taxes?

Tell the escrow officer about liens or back taxes you know of. They review the title and sort out what needs to be addressed through the closing. Whether the sale can proceed depends on resolving the property's obligations. Ask an attorney about disputes or legal questions concerning a lien or claim.

What happens if I still owe money on the mortgage?

A remaining mortgage needs to be addressed as part of the sale. Share the lender information the escrow officer requests so they can review the payoff requirements and explain the closing statement. Ask them how the existing loan affects your transaction before agreeing to the buyer's terms or making moving arrangements.

Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?

Whether you can sell depends on who has authority over the property and what the estate requires. Ask the estate attorney or court about your situation before signing a sale agreement. Our local buyer can discuss the house while you establish those requirements, and the closing professional can review the documents needed for a transfer.

Can I sell a rental house while tenants still live there?

You can discuss a sale with our local buyer while tenants occupy the property. Explain the occupancy, rental agreements and any access arrangements before the property review. Ask an attorney about your responsibilities to the tenants and what a sale would mean for the existing tenancy. Agree on property access and possession terms with the buyer.

How fast can I sell my house for cash?

Closing takes place on a date you choose with the buyer, once the title work is done. Tell our local buyer about a move or other plans so you can discuss a workable date. The escrow officer can explain what remains to be completed before the property can transfer.

What can I leave in the house when I move out?

You may leave unwanted items behind if the buyer agrees. Describe the furniture, belongings or other items you would rather leave during your conversation with the buyer. Have the arrangement included in writing, and make clear which items you will take. That gives both sides an agreed plan for the property handover.

Do I have to accept the cash offer after asking for it?

No. Asking for a cash offer does not obligate you to sell. You can review the proposal, ask our local buyer to explain its terms and decide whether it suits you. If you choose to move forward, read the purchase agreement before signing and take any legal questions to an attorney.

Who would actually buy my Fresno house?

Our local buyer is an investor who buys houses directly, as-is. Home Buyers of Fresno takes your initial request and connects you with that buyer. If you call, a recorded virtual assistant collects your name, phone number and property address. The buyer then contacts you to discuss the house and a possible purchase.
