How does Cash Home Buy work?
Selling your home to Cash Home Buy is simple. Start by telling us about your property. If it meets our buying criteria, we'll arrange a quick appointment to view the home and present you with a fair written cash offer. If you decide to accept, you'll choose a lawyer to handle the paperwork, and we can close in as little as five days or on a date that works best for you.
Do you buy homes throughout Ontario?
Yes. We buy houses across most of Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area, the Golden Horseshoe, Ottawa, Windsor, Sudbury, North Bay, and many surrounding communities. If your property is located in Ontario, contact us to find out if we buy in your area.
How do I get started?
Simply contact us by phone or complete our online form with a few details about your property. We'll review the information and get in touch to discuss the next steps.
Is requesting a cash offer free?
Yes. Requesting a cash offer is completely free, and there's no obligation to sell your home.
Is there any obligation to accept your offer?
No. Our offers are completely obligation-free. Once you receive your offer, you can take the time you need to decide whether selling to us is the right choice.
How do you determine my cash offer?
Every property is different. We consider factors such as the property's condition, location, repairs needed, your timeline, loan balance, equity, and current market conditions before preparing a fair cash offer.
Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Yes. We aim to make fair offers based on the property's condition and current market factors. While our offers may be below market value, many homeowners appreciate the convenience of selling as-is, avoiding repairs, agent commissions, and financing delays.
How much will you pay for my house?
The amount depends on your property's unique circumstances. After reviewing your home and learning more about your situation, we'll prepare a personalized cash offer.
How long does it take to receive an offer?
In most cases, we're able to provide a fair written cash offer within 24 hours after reviewing your property information.
Is your offer really a cash offer?
Yes. We purchase homes directly, allowing us to make cash offers without waiting for traditional buyer financing.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list your home and charge a commission once it sells. We buy your home directly, so there are no listings, showings, or agent commissions. You'll receive a cash offer and can choose a closing date that works for you.
Can I sell my house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses in as-is condition, so you don't need to repair, renovate, or improve your property before selling.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We purchase homes in their current condition, regardless of whether they need minor updates or major repairs.
Do I need to clean my home before selling?
No. You don't need to clean or prepare your property before selling. We buy homes exactly as they are.
What types of properties do you buy?
We buy many different types of residential properties throughout Ontario, including detached homes, townhouses, condos, and properties in various conditions.
Do you buy condos?
Yes. We regularly purchase condo apartments and condo townhouses. We also arrange and pay for the condo status certificate when required.
Do you buy homes with tenants?
Yes. We frequently purchase tenant-occupied properties. We'll work with you and, where appropriate, your tenants to help make the process as smooth as possible.
Can you buy homes in foreclosure, Power of Sale, or bankruptcy?
Yes. We regularly purchase homes in foreclosure, Power of Sale, bankruptcy, and many other situations throughout Ontario.
What if I owe more than my house is worth?
You may still have options. Every situation is different, so we'll review your circumstances and let you know whether we can help.
How quickly can the sale close?
We can close in as little as five days if needed. If you'd prefer more time, we're happy to work around your schedule and close on the date that's best for you.
Can I choose my closing date?
Yes. Whether you want to close quickly or need extra time before moving, we'll work with your preferred timeline whenever possible.
Who handles the paperwork?
You choose your own lawyer to represent you during the transaction, while Cash Home Buy has its own legal representation. Your lawyer will guide you through the paperwork and complete the sale.
Who will be buying my house?
Depending on your property and circumstances, your home may be purchased directly by Cash Home Buy or by one of the investors in our network. We'll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Do I have to pay closing costs?
You won't need to pay closing costs upfront. Your lawyer's fees are generally paid from the proceeds of the sale, and depending on the agreement, we may include certain legal costs as part of the transaction.
Are there any commissions or hidden fees?
No. We don't charge real estate commissions or listing fees. We'll explain the process clearly so you know what to expect before moving forward.
Why do homeowners choose Cash Home Buy?
Many homeowners choose us because we offer a simple selling process. You can sell your home as-is, avoid agent commissions, receive a fair written cash offer, and choose a closing date that fits your schedule.
Are you accredited by the Better Business Bureau?
Yes. Cash Home Buy is a Better Business Bureau member and has earned an A+ rating.
What happens after I contact Cash Home Buy?
Once we receive your property information, we'll review it and contact you to discuss your home. If your property meets our buying criteria, we'll arrange a visit and prepare a fair written cash offer.
What happens if I decide not to accept your offer?
That's completely your choice. Our offers are made with no obligation, and there's no pressure to sell if you decide it's not the right option for you.
Why should I sell directly instead of listing my home?
Selling directly can help you avoid repairs, agent commissions, lengthy listing periods, and financing delays. If you're looking for a faster and more straightforward way to sell your home, selling directly to Cash Home Buy may be the right option.
