How it works

How selling your house to us works, start to finish.

Three steps and three dates. We pay cash, so there is no bank behind the offer: no lender to wait on, no appraisal to fail, no financing contingency that can fall through.

Today

Call or submit your info

Bill reviews the details of your home and sets an appointment to speak with you. Calls get answered faster than emails, so if you are in a hurry, ring (541) 236-3095. Otherwise send the property details and he'll get back to you.

Then he comes to the house. This is what he looks at during the walk-through:

The property
Bill walks it with you, inside and out, as it stands today.
Comparable sales
What similar houses nearby have actually sold for.
The repairs
What the house needs, in plain terms, whether that is a little or a lot.
The value
Where those three add up, and how he gets from there to a cash number.

Whether the house is lived in, rented out or empty, and whether it is spotless or a mess, it comes as it is. You don't clean, repair or clear anything first.

About 24 hours

We give you a fair cash offer

A cash offer reaches you in about 24 hours. No obligation, no fees, no commissions. If the house fits Bill's own buying criteria, he extends that offer right away. If it doesn't, he presents the opportunity to his hundreds of cash buyers and comes back to you with theirs.

He doesn't offer the same number for every house on the street. He shows you how he got to yours.

That means location, condition and comparable sales, laid out so you can check each one. Many of the houses he buys sell below market value because they need repairs, updating or remodeling, and he says that plainly. He may not be able to give you the highest retail price. What you keep is the commission, the closing costs and the repair bill that selling with an agent would have charged you. The line-by-line comparison is there if you want to weigh the two.

Bill will not pressure you into a quick decision so he can lock you into a contract. Take the time you need.

Your date

Choose your closing date

Close on your schedule, fast or slow. That can be as little as 7 days, or 13 days, or 31 days, or any date you name. If you need to be out by the end of the month, say so. If you need a few extra weeks to move, say that instead.

Closing happens at a local, reputable title company. Because there is no bank financing, there is no appraisal to schedule and no lender to wait on, so you don't have to worry about whether the deal can close. Every offer Bill makes, he backs by being able to close on it, and we pay all costs.

Mark R., Salem, OR, in their own words

What if the offer isn't right?

It happens. Bill says there are three honest ways this goes, and none of them involves a phone call every hour.

A cash offer you can say yes to

The house fits his criteria, or one of his cash buyers wants it, and the number works for you. You pick the date and it closes at the title company.

Help listing it on the MLS

If a cash sale isn't the right fit, Bill can help you list the house on the MLS for a set period instead. See cash offer or an agent for how the two compare.

A handshake and a thank you

Or he thanks you for your time and ends the conversation. No pressure, no follow-up pile-on. More questions first? The FAQ answers the common ones.
