Reasons people sell to a cash buyer
The house and the calendar are different every time. Nothing here promises a price or a closing date.
Inherited houseAn inherited house can come with a mortgage, a lockbox of paperwork, and relatives who do not want a project. HouseBought buys the house as it is.ForeclosureA foreclosure date is a real deadline. A cash sale is one option. It is not a promise that every file can be finished before the sale.ProbateProbate is a court process. A cash buyer does not skip it. We can still make an offer while the estate is being opened, and close when the court allows a sale.DivorceA house is often the slowest part of a separation. A direct cash sale can be simpler than a listing if both owners want a date and a number.Tired landlordRepairs, vacancies, and tenants add up. HouseBought buys rentals, including houses that are occupied.Behind on paymentsMissed mortgage, tax, or insurance payments do not disqualify a house. The payoff and the liens do decide how much you would receive.House needs repairsYou do not have to repair the roof, the kitchen, or the foundation before asking HouseBought for a number.RelocatingA job, a family move, or a military order rarely waits on a 90-day listing. You can ask for a cash offer and pick a closing date that matches the move.Tenant occupiedA tenant does not stop a cash offer. The lease, the rent, and the notice rules do shape the closing date.Fire or water damageA house that is not livable can still be sold. You do not have to rebuild it first.Code violationsOpen permits, a condemned notice, or a pile of city letters are part of the file. They are not a reason to hide the house.
