Selling to us

Do I have to make repairs or clean?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition. Take what you want and leave the rest.

Are there fees or commissions?

No. You don't pay us a fee or an agent commission. The written offer spells out who pays which closing costs.

How do you decide on the offer?

We look at what the house would be worth after repairs, what repairs it needs, and our costs to buy, hold and resell it. We will walk you through the numbers. Here is how cash offers are calculated.

Am I obligated once I fill out the form?

No. The form only starts a conversation. Nothing is final until you sign a purchase agreement.

How fast can you close?

You pick the date. Timing mostly depends on the title company's work. If you need more time to move, tell us.

Are you real estate agents?

No. We're investors who buy houses directly, and we don't list homes. In some cases we may assign our contract to another buyer, and we'll tell you up front if that's the plan.

Where do you buy?

Utah only: the Wasatch Front, Cache Valley, Tooele Valley, the Wasatch Back including Park City and Heber, and Southern Utah including St. George and Cedar City.

Who handles the closing?

A licensed Utah title company. It holds the funds, pays off your mortgage and any liens, and sends you your proceeds.

Can I sell if I live out of state?

Yes. We can walk the house with a local contact or lockbox, and the title company can usually arrange remote signing.

Can I stay in the house after closing?

Sometimes. A short stay after closing can be written into the contract.

Do you buy houses with tenants?

Yes. Leases and deposits generally transfer to the buyer at closing.

Will you share my information?

We do not sell your information to other buyers. See our privacy policy for details.

Inherited house

Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished in Utah?

Often, yes, once a personal representative has been appointed and has authority to sell. Some estates need court approval for a sale. Your probate attorney can confirm what your letters allow.

Do all the heirs have to agree?

Whoever holds legal authority signs, but disagreements among heirs can slow or stop a sale. We are happy to share a written offer with everyone so all heirs see the same numbers.

Foreclosure

How long does foreclosure take in Utah?

Utah requires at least three months between recording the notice of default and the notice of sale, and the notice of sale adds a few more weeks. Many cases take longer because of servicing rules, postponements or loss-mitigation reviews.

Can I sell my house after I get a notice of default?

Generally yes. You still own the house until the trustee sale. A sale that closes before the auction pays off the loan through the title company.

Divorce

Do both spouses have to agree to sell?

Generally both owners on the title must sign. If you cannot agree, the court may decide what happens to the house.

Can we sell before the divorce is final?

Often yes, if both owners sign and it is consistent with any court orders. Check with your attorneys first.

Tired landlord

Can I sell a rental with tenants still living there?

Yes. The lease generally transfers to the buyer, and we are set up to buy occupied rentals.

Do I have to fix the unit after a bad tenant?

No. We buy as-is, including damage left by tenants.

Tax liens

How many years can Utah property taxes go unpaid before a tax sale?

Under Utah Code 59-2-1343, a property goes on the tax sale list if it is not redeemed by March 15 after four years from the date of delinquency. Confirm the specifics for your property with your county treasurer.

Can I sell a house with an IRS lien?

Generally yes. The lien is usually paid from the proceeds, and the IRS has a discharge process if the proceeds will not cover it.

Major repairs

Will you buy a house with foundation problems?

Yes. We price the repair in and you do not need engineering reports first.

Should I fix anything before you look?

No. We buy as-is.
