Frequently Asked Questions
The Most Trusted Cash Home Buyer in Virginia, Maryland, and DC.
How does selling a house to a cash home buyer work?
You request an offer, we review the property as-is, you receive a written cash offer, and if you accept we close at a title company on your timeline. There is no listing, no open houses, and no Realtor commission.
What happens after I request an offer?
You contact Express Home Buyers online or by phone and share the address, the condition, and your timeline. We ask a few questions and schedule a time to come see your home. After walking your home, we present a no-obligation cash offer.
Do I have to clean or repair the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is. You don’t need to paint, replace the roof, or stage the home. You can take what you want and leave the rest.
How do you review the property to determine an offer?
We look at location, recent comparable sales, and the cost of repairs the house needs. The goal is a number you can decide on, not a moving target.
What happens if I accept the cash offer?
We open a file with a title company. The title company searches the title, orders the payoff from the mortgage company and researches any liens. They then schedule a closing on a date that works for you.
How long does the process take?
A clean cash sale can close in about two to four weeks, even less if you want. Some sellers need more time to move. Express Homebuyers has bought more than five thousand houses in DC, Maryland, and Virginia since 2003, and the closing date is meant to fit your situation.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. The offer is no-obligation until you sign a purchase agreement.
