How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
A real cash offer should not feel like a random number. We look at the house, the repairs, the local market, and the cost to take on the project.
Property Condition
Roof, foundation, layout, systems, repairs, updates, damage, occupancy, and access.
Nearby Sales
We review recent sales near the property to understand the current market.
Repairs and Holding Costs
We account for cleanup, repairs, taxes, insurance, utilities, and resale risk.
Your Timeline
A seller who needs speed may need a different solution than someone who can wait.
The Value We Can Add
A cash purchase only makes sense when there is value for us to add and a clear benefit for you.
Your Best Path
If a cash offer is not the best fit, we may suggest another option or tell you listing makes more sense.
HomeWise Is a Cash Home Buying Company That Buys Houses As-Is
If you need to sell a house fast without the headache of a traditional listing, HomeWise is a direct cash home buyer that purchases properties in any condition. Homeowners come to us when the house needs repairs they cannot afford, or when they are dealing with probate, code violations, or tenants in place. Take what you want, leave the rest, and we handle the cleanout after closing.
Listing with a realtor might still be the right move if the house is updated, you have time to wait for the right buyer, and your goal is maximum retail price. A HomeWise cash offer is built for sellers who value speed, certainty, and a transaction that closes on their timeline.
Looking For a Cash Home Buyer That Closes Fast?
If you searched for cash home buyers, you want to know if the buyer is real, how they calculate the offer, whether there are hidden fees, and whether they can actually close when they say they will. HomeWise gives you a clear option, explains exactly what is included in your closing, and lets you decide without pressure.
HomeWise buys houses directly, so you do not wait on retail buyer financing, host open houses, or hope a mortgage approval goes through. We make cash offers on homes that may not fit the traditional market: houses with repairs, code violations, title complications, tenants, or urgent timelines like job relocations and inherited estates. If a cash sale is not the best fit, we will tell you that too.
How to Sell Your House Fast Without a Realtor
You can sell your house without a realtor by working directly with a cash home buyer, selling for sale by owner (FSBO), or using an attorney-assisted transaction. HomeWise gives homeowners a simpler option: request a cash offer, review the terms, and choose your closing date without listing on the MLS. Skipping the agent can save you 5 to 6 percent in commissions, plus the showings, open houses, and repair negotiations after inspection.
FSBO and direct sales are not right for everyone. If the house is fully updated, you have time to wait, and your goal is maximum retail price, listing with a realtor still makes sense. If your priority is speed, certainty, and convenience, HomeWise can give you a direct cash offer to compare against.

Common Questions About Cash Home Buyers
Honest answers about how cash home buyers work, what they pay, and how to spot the real ones.
What is a cash home buyer?
A cash home buyer is a company or individual that purchases your house outright, using its own funds, without a mortgage lender, an agent, or a repair list. HomeWise is a direct cash buyer, so the company that makes the offer is the same one that closes.
How do I choose a trustworthy cash home buyer?
Ask four questions: how did you calculate the offer, how long is the inspection period, how much earnest money is non-refundable, and are you the actual buyer or assigning the contract. A real buyer answers all four clearly and puts them in writing.
Do cash home buyers pay fair prices?
A cash offer comes in below full retail because it covers the repairs, holding costs, and agent fees you skip, plus the certainty of a guaranteed close. HomeWise shows you how it reached the number and how it compares to listing, so you can decide what nets you more.
Are cash home buyers and wholesalers the same?
No. A wholesaler ties up your house under contract and resells that contract to another investor, which can delay or kill the deal. HomeWise buys directly with its own capital and closes itself. Always confirm which one you are dealing with before you sign.
How fast can a cash home buyer close?
HomeWise can close in as little as 7 days when title is clear, or on a later date you choose, up to 60 days out. A financed sale usually takes 30 to 60 days to reach closing after an offer is accepted.
What is the best company to sell your house to for cash?
Look for a direct buyer, not a wholesaler, with verifiable reviews, that buys with its own capital and gives you a written offer with a clear formula. That is how HomeWise operates: we buy directly with our own funds, explain the offer in writing, and close in as little as 7 days.
Is selling your home for cash a good idea?
Selling for cash makes sense when speed, certainty, or condition matter more than squeezing out the last dollar. It is a strong choice if you are facing foreclosure, dealing with major repairs, settling an estate, or relocating quickly. The cash price is lower than full retail, but you skip the 5 to 6 percent agent commission, the repair costs, and months of carrying costs.
How much less do cash buyers pay for houses?
Cash offers are generally structured as a percentage of a home's after-repair value, minus the cost of needed repairs. The exact spread depends on condition and local market. Once you subtract agent fees, repairs, and carrying costs from a listed sale, the real gap is often smaller than the sticker prices suggest.
How do you know if a cash buyer is legit?
Ask four things: is the buyer using its own funds or assigning your contract to someone else, can it show proof of funds, does it have verifiable closed transactions and reviews, and is the offer in writing with a clear formula. A legitimate cash buyer like HomeWise answers yes to all four and puts every commitment in the purchase agreement.
What percentage do cash home buyers pay?
Most direct cash buyers target a percentage of after-repair value minus estimated repair costs. Some iBuyers pay closer to retail but charge service fees of around 5 percent or more, so always compare net proceeds, not just the headline offer. HomeWise shows you the exact calculation.
Do I have to pay any fees when selling to a cash buyer?
HomeWise charges no agent commissions, no listing fees, and no repair costs, and it covers standard closing costs. You receive the agreed cash amount at closing. Some iBuyers add convenience fees of around 5 percent or more, so always confirm your net proceeds before you sign.
Will I get less money selling to a cash buyer than listing?
The cash offer is lower than a perfect retail sale, but a retail sale is not free. After the 5 to 6 percent commission, repairs, concessions, and the months you pay the mortgage, taxes, and insurance while it sits, the net can land close to a cash offer, with far more uncertainty. HomeWise helps you compare the two nets honestly.
