What to check before accepting any cash offer on your house

Cash home sales have a reputation problem, some of it earned by bad actors, most of it just outdated assumptions. Here's what's actually true.

Common questions

Are cash home buyer scams?

Not inherently. Like any industry, there are legitimate operators and bad actors, which is why vetting a buyer's history and process matters.

Is a cash offer always a lowball offer?

Not necessarily. A fair cash offer reflects the home's condition, repair costs, and market value, not an arbitrarily low number.

Do you need perfect credit to sell your house for cash?

No. Credit has no bearing on selling a house for cash, since the seller isn't the one being financed.
