Did you know that the longer a home stays on the market, the less valuable it becomes? It’s unfortunately true, when your home sits on the market for an extended period of time, the more likely it is to result in a lower offer, not to mention the additional holding costs. As such, speed and time are of the essence.
When you need to sell a house quickly, it’s a good idea to explore a cash offer. No matter your motivation, selling to a cash buyer allows you to sell as quickly as possible and avoid a number of the headaches involved in the home selling process such as appraisals and inspections just to name a few.

When you sell a house quickly, you’re able to move onto the next chapter, well, quicker! Plus, it means fewer days keeping a home clean, staged and air conditioned. If you have a real estate agent, it also means you no longer have to leave every time someone wants a tour.
Your Sales Strategy
Before you plant a for-sale sign in front of the house, figure out a strategy that works for you. In some cases, a for-sale-by-owner approach works best. When you feel confident in your ability to explore options and negotiate, it’s a good route.
However, it doesn’t always ensure a quick sale or a high price. If you don’t have the time to commit, it may be better to list your house with an experienced team.
Additionally, when you truly need to sell house quickly, it’s a good idea to talk to a cash buyer such as Square one Solutions. Because we finance ourselves, you never have to worry about a deal falling through. Moreover, we cover closing costs and do not charge a commission when we buy as-is for cash.
Real estate agents list properties and show them to prospective buyers (if there are any). If they’re able to make a sale, they take a percentage of the sale price as their commission. In many cases, a real estate agent’s commission is 3 to 6%. This means, if your house sells for $100,000, you have to pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions. If you don’t have the time, patience, or ability or sell through a traditional agent, that’s where Square One Offer can help. We’re not agents – we’re home buyers. Since we’re buying the house directly from you for cash, we can buy your house fast. We make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, fix it up, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
The closing date is flexible most of the time. If we sign a contract and you need several months to prepare for your move we are willing to work with you. There is NO PRESSURE from us to close by any particular date and we will accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. Also, we may be able to lease the property back to you after closing for a short time.
Once we can set a date for closing you will know the exact date to schedule your move. Closing is when the final papers are signed, you receive your money, and when ownership transfers out of your hands. By this time, the house should be empty and vacant unless we make other arrangements based on your specific needs. We begin the process of repairs and maintenance on the property immediately after closing and anything left behind will be donated to charity or disposed of.
At Square One Offer, we are professional home buyers. we buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. Once we have purchased a house, we spend the time and money to repair the house and resell it to another homeowner. Although we have licnesed agents that can help list your home our primary strategy is to give you a cash offer. Sometimes the home or situation the homeowner is in doesn’t constitute a quick closing where the homeowner can wait more time to get more money by listing the house on the open market.
We are 100% transparent with our process! The houses we purchase are below market value so we can resell them at a profit after we make the necessary repairs and updates. In our experience, our clients aren’t looking for a large “windfall” on their property. They want to be able to sell their house fast, for a fair cash price, and with as little hassle and stress as possible. They are not looking to spend the time or money to fix up the property or pay agent fees and closing costs. If this sounds like you, give us a call today, and let’s see if we can come to a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our no-obligation offer means that we won’t hassle you once we make you an offer. Whether you decide to move forward or wait, the process is up to you
No, not unless there is a major repair that is uncovered during the inspection that was otherwise unknown. Our buyers have years of industry experience and know what issues to look for.
Please beware of other companies who offer to purchase your home without physically seeing it. These companies are likely to change their offer and/or pull out of the contract all together leaving you in a poor position. Similarly, read the language in the contract. Check for contingencies, verbiage that allows them to reduce the offer and or an option period.
This is why we visit every home in person when we make free cash offers on homes to give the highest and most fair offer.
While walking the property with you, our agents will ask about the condition of certain items while visually inspecting them. The more honest you can be with them the better. This will ensure that there are no ‘gotchas’ in the inspection period and that your offer stays the same.
