1. How The Cash Home Buying Process Works

Q: “What are the steps to sell my house for cash in Maryland?”

A: Our process is simple and designed to be stress-free:

  1. Contact Us: Reach out for a free, no-obligation cash offer.

  2. Property Walkthrough: We’ll schedule a quick visit to the property (we can often make an offer without this step if you prefer).

  3. Close On Your Timeline: We typically close in 7-21 days, but are flexible to your needs. You get cash in hand, and we handle the rest.

2. Fees and Costs

Q: “Are there any hidden fees or commissions?”

A: No. Absolutely zero fees, ever. Unlike listing with a realtor, who typically charges a 5-6% commission, our offer is net to you. We pay all closing costs. The amount we offer is the amount you walk away with.

If you think a traditional sale might be a better fit, we also offer a free Realtor Consultation to help you explore that option.

3. Speed and Flexibility

Q: “How fast can you close?”

A: We can close in as little as 7-21 days. However, the timeline is entirely up to you. If you need more time to move or get your affairs in order, we can schedule the closing for a date that works best for you.

Q: “Do I need to make repairs or clean the house?”

A: No. You can sell your house completely as-is. You don’t have to fix, repair, or even clean anything. We buy properties in any condition, whether they have fire damage, problem tenants, are cluttered, or just need significant updates. Leave the hard work to us.

4. Pricing and Offers

Q: “How do you determine your cash offer?”

A: We calculate our offers based on a transparent formula that considers your home’s location, size, current condition, and the After Repair Value (ARV). We are local Maryland experts, not a national algorithm, so our offers are fair and based on real market data.

Q: “Is your offer negotiable?”

A: Yes. We always aim to provide our best offer upfront, but we are happy to discuss it with you to see if we can find a win-win price that works for your situation.

5. Local Expertise

Q: “Do you buy houses anywhere in Maryland?”

A: Yes. We are a local company and we serve all 23 counties of Maryland. We have extensive experience helping homeowners in key areas, including:

Q: “Why does working with a local Maryland buyer matter?”

A: It matters immensely. Unlike national iBuyers who use algorithms, our local expertise means you get a more accurate and fair offer based on a real understanding of the Maryland real estate market. We know the neighborhoods, the local closing attorneys, and the specific paperwork, which guarantees a smoother, faster, and more reliable sale. Plus, you’re supporting a local business dedicated to improving our communities.

Q: “Are you licensed and insured?”

A: That’s an excellent question, as transparency is key. While Maryland does not require a special license to buy homes for cash, we believe in holding ourselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. Our company’s entire process is guided by our expert real estate partner, Debbi Rivero.

Debbi is a top-producing Realtor with over 30 years of experience, holding ABR® and CPE certifications, and is fully licensed by the Maryland Real Estate Commission. She ensures our entire operation adheres to a strict Code of Ethics. So while our cash offer is a direct sale, you get the peace of mind knowing our business is guided by the professionalism of a licensed expert.
