Your options
Three honest ways to sell. We help you pick the right one.
Most companies push one product. We would rather you understand the trade-offs, even when the answer is not us.
Cash offer, as-is
A written offer within 24 hours, no repairs or showings, closing in as few as 10 days. Best when speed and certainty matter more than the last dollar.
How a cash offer worksList with an agent
Usually the highest gross price if the house shows well and you can wait 60 to 120 days. We will say so when it is the better path.
Cash offer vs. listing, side by sideOther structures Ask us
Some sellers are better served by a longer timeline, a rent-back after closing, or a different structure entirely. If that is you, tell us on the form and we will walk through it.
How it works
Three steps. No surprises.
Tell us about the house
Address, condition, and timeline. A short call or the form is enough; you never need to clean, stage, or fix anything first.

We show the comparable sales, the repair estimate, and our costs, so you can see exactly how we got to the number.
Close on your date
Escrow and title handle the closing at a licensed Washington escrow company. Funds are wired to you at recording. Move when it suits you.
Cash offer vs. listing
The trade-off, in plain numbers.
An investor offer is typically below full retail value. What you get back is speed, certainty, and skipping repairs, commissions, and months of showings. Here is what that usually looks like in Puget Sound.
| Selling to Sound Home Offer | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Below retail; the offer is the net (we pay standard closing costs) | Highest gross price if the home shows well and the market cooperates |
| Commissions and fees | $0 | Typically 5 to 6% of the sale price plus seller closing costs |
| Repairs and prep | None. Leave what you do not want. | Repairs, cleaning, staging, photos; buyer inspection repair requests |
| Showings | None | Open houses and showings for weeks |
| Time to close | As few as 10 days, or your date | 60 to 120 days on average, plus buyer financing risk |
| Certainty | Cash; no appraisal or loan contingency | Financing, appraisal, and inspection contingencies can collapse a sale |
| Best for | Repairs, tenants, probate, deadlines, or simply wanting it done | Move-in-ready homes and sellers with time to wait |
Ranges are typical for the Puget Sound market and vary by property. Washington real estate excise tax applies to either path. See a worked example.
Situations we help with
Whatever is behind the sale, we have seen it before.
Each situation has its own rules in Washington. These guides explain how a cash sale works in yours, and what your other options are.
Facing foreclosure
Behind on payments or holding a notice of sale. Understand the timeline and every option, including a sale.
Read the guideInherited house or probate
Settle an estate without clearing out, fixing up, or flying in. We buy inherited homes as they sit.
Read the guideTenant-occupied or tired landlord
Sell a rental with tenants in place. No showings, no notices to serve, no waiting for a vacancy.
Read the guideNeeds major repairs
Roof, foundation, sewer, fire, water, mold. Sell as-is and let us carry the repair bill after closing.
Read the guideHow we calculate an offer
Our number is not pulled from the air. Here is the formula.
Every offer starts with what the house would sell for fully renovated, then subtracts what it costs us to get it there and resell it. We put every line in writing.
- After-repair value. Recent comparable sales within about a mile, adjusted for size, lot, and condition.
- Repairs. A real scope from our contractor walk-through, not a guess to lower the price.
- Selling and holding costs. Excise tax, commissions on resale, insurance, utilities, and financing while we own it.
- Our margin. We are a business; we show it rather than hide it in a lowball.
Illustrative example only
Figures are a made-up illustration of the method, not an offer on any property. Each offer is prepared individually.
Where we buy
Greater Seattle and all of Puget Sound.
King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties. If your city is not listed, we almost certainly still buy there; ask.
Proof, when it is real
We recently launched in Puget Sound. We will earn your trust the honest way.
You will not find made-up reviews or stock-photo testimonials here. As we close purchases, we publish anonymized case studies with the seller\’s permission: the situation, the options they weighed, the timeline, what went wrong, and what they netted. Until then, judge us by how we explain our offer and how we treat you on the phone.
Want to talk to our escrow or title partners, or see proof of funds before you sign anything? Ask. We expect it.

ReadQuestions
Straight answers before you call.
Is the offer really no-obligation?
Yes. You get a written offer with the math behind it, then decide on your own time. There is no fee for the offer, no contract for asking, and no follow-up pressure if you pass. Plenty of people we talk to end up listing instead, and we tell them when that is the better call.
How fast can you actually close?
A cash purchase with no financing can close in as few as 10 days once title is clear. Most sellers pick a date two to four weeks out so they can move on their own schedule. Probate, tenants, or title issues can add time; we will tell you what is realistic for your situation up front.
Do I need to clean, repair, or empty the house?
No. We buy the house exactly as it sits. Take what you want and leave the rest, including furniture, belongings, and anything in the garage. Repairs, cleanouts, and code issues are handled by us after closing.
Are there fees or commissions?
None to you. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, and we pay the standard seller closing costs. Washington real estate excise tax is owed by the seller on any sale, including this one, and we show it on the settlement statement so nothing is a surprise.
Are you real estate agents?
No. We are a home-buying company. We may buy your house directly, buy it and resell it, or, when disclosed in writing, assign our purchase contract to another buyer. We do not represent you, and we encourage you to get independent legal or tax advice before signing.
Is a cash offer lower than a listing price?
Usually, yes. An investor offer is below full retail value because we take on the repairs, the holding costs, and the risk of resale. What you keep is the commissions, repair bills, months of carrying costs, and the uncertainty of a financed buyer. Our cash-vs-listing page shows a worked example.
See your offer. Then decide.
A written cash offer within 24 hours, the math shown, no obligation. If listing would net you more, we will say so.
