As-is
no repairs, no cleanout, no staging
A sale should end with your family moving forward — not with months of repairs, showings, and second-guessing.
What sellers are saying
They made the process of selling our home easy and quick. They treated our family with respect and compassion.
Diane K.
Homeowner
Fast, fair, and no pressure. I had a cash offer in two days and closed in three weeks, exactly like they said.
Theo B.
Homeowner
I was facing an auction date and they closed in fifteen days. I kept my equity instead of losing the house.
Renee P.
Homeowner
No repairs, no showings, no stress. They walked the house once and the offer never changed.
Wanda M.
Homeowner
Three steps. No surprises at the settlement table.
Every offer we make is built to survive scrutiny — from you, your attorney, or anyone else you want to run it past.
01Tell us about the property
Share the zip code, the condition, and what's prompting the sale. It takes under a minute, and there's no obligation at any point.
02Get a transparent offer
A local buyer walks the property once, then shows you the math behind the number — comparable values, repair estimates, and our margin.
03Close on your calendar
Pick the settlement date. We can close in as little as two weeks, or hold the date for months while probate, a move, or a divorce resolves.
Local buyers, not a national call center
Every market in our footprint has its own rules — DC's tenant purchase rights, Baltimore's ground rents, Virginia's fast foreclosure clock, Delaware's septic inspections. Our teams work one region each, so they know yours.

Inherited House
An inherited property usually arrives with three problems at once: a house full of belongings, a legal process you've never navigated, and co-heirs who may not agree on anything. We buy inherited homes across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware exactly as they stand — furniture, deferred maintenance, and all.
Avoiding Foreclosure
The single most important fact about foreclosure in our region: Virginia can move from default to auction in about two months, while Maryland, Delaware, and DC give homeowners considerably longer. Knowing which clock you're on determines which options are still open.
House Needs Repairs
The regional housing stock we work in is old: DC and Baltimore rowhouses from the 1900s, post-war NoVA ramblers, Delaware farmhouses on original septic. When the repair list outgrows the budget, we buy the house as-is and price the work into a transparent offer.
Fire Damaged House
A residential fire leaves homeowners overwhelmed by insurance paperwork, structural condemnation orders, and mounting municipal fines. Whether your home suffered minor smoke damage in Maryland, electrical fire in Richmond, or total loss in Delaware, we buy fire-damaged properties for cash in 100% as-is condition.
Tired Landlord
Landlord-tenant law in this region is some of the most tenant-protective in the country — DC especially. If you're done with 2 a.m. maintenance calls, non-paying tenants, or escalating license requirements, we buy rentals with leases in place and take over the landlord role at settlement.
Relocation & PCS
The DMV runs on transfers: military PCS orders, federal reassignments, and private-sector relocations. When you have a report date, a 60-to-90-day listing process with financing contingencies is a risk you can't price. A cash closing dated to your calendar is.
Divorce
In most divorces the house is the largest shared asset and the biggest point of friction. Months of showings, staging, and price-drop debates keep two people tied together long after they've decided not to be. A direct sale replaces all of it with a single verifiable offer and a settlement date the attorneys can put in the agreement.
Downsizing
The houses we buy from downsizing sellers are usually well-loved and long-held — and 'well-loved and long-held' is exactly what today's financed buyers renovate away. Rather than fund a kitchen remodel to satisfy strangers, many longtime owners choose one as-is offer and a moving date they control.

Frequently asked questions about selling for cash
How quickly can I get an offer on my house?
Once you submit your property address, our local acquisitions specialist reviews neighborhood comps and conducts a brief walkthrough. You typically receive a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours.
Do I have to pay any closing fees or agent commissions?
None at all. We are direct property buyers, not listing brokers. There are zero real estate commissions, and USHomeBuy covers standard seller closing costs, title search, and deed recording fees.
What if my property requires major repairs or has trash left inside?
We purchase properties strictly 100% as-is. Whether your home needs a new roof, has foundation damage, or has unwanted furniture and personal belongings, you do not have to clean or fix anything.
How do you calculate your cash offer price?
We start with the after-repair market value (ARV) based on recent sales of renovated homes nearby, deduct the realistic contractor budget required to update the home, and subtract our standard operating margin.
Why Homeowners Choose Companies That Buy Houses For Cash
When searching for cash buyers for houses or exploring how to sell houses for cash, homeowners are usually looking to avoid the delays and uncertainties of the traditional retail market. In an open market listing, a buyer’s mortgage lender requires strict home appraisals, radon checks, termite certifications, and lead paint disclosures. If repairs exceed minor cosmetic fixes, loan officers can cancel the buyer’s financing days before closing.
At USHomeBuy, we buy homes in any condition. Because we use direct balance-sheet capital, we never ask for repair credits, home warranty fees, or inspection renegotiations. You receive a guaranteed cash sale on your schedule.
Whether you need to cash buy house solutions for an inherited probate property, avoid foreclosure auctions, or sell a rental with delinquent tenants, our regional specialists throughout Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware handle every detail.
We coordinate directly with established local settlement attorneys and title companies to order municipal lien certificates, prepare deed conveyances, and wire funds directly into your account on the closing day you choose.

Comparing Net Proceeds: Selling to USHomeBuy vs. Listing on the MLS
Many homeowners mistakenly assume that a traditional real estate listing will automatically net them more money in their bank account. However, traditional sales come with substantial mandatory deductions that significantly diminish your final check.
On a typical $450,000 Mid-Atlantic home, a 6% agent commission consumes $27,000. Seller closing costs and transfer taxes typically total another 2% to 3% ($9,000 to $13,500). If the home inspection uncovers an aging roof, dated electrical panels, or HVAC issues, retail buyers frequently demand $15,000 to $30,000 in repair credits or price reductions. Combined with two to four months of mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, and homeowner insurance while waiting for buyer loan approval, holding costs can easily exceed $10,000.
When you sell to USHomeBuy, there are zero commissions, zero repair costs, zero holding fees, and we pay standard seller closing expenses. What you see on your written agreement is what you receive at the closing table.
Local Market Expertise Across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware
Real estate is profoundly local. A brick rowhome in Capitol Hill, DC requires specialized understanding of the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) and historic preservation district requirements. In Baltimore City, Maryland, ground rent redemption certificates and lead paint registry verifications must be properly satisfied with state agencies. In Virginia, expedited trustee deed-of-trust timelines require rapid closing capabilities within 10 to 14 days to stop foreclosure sales. In Delaware, Sussex and Kent county septic transfer inspections require certified inspectors before deed transfer.
Our four dedicated regional acquisition desks manage each of these jurisdictional requirements seamlessly. You never have to worry about missing court filings, municipal liens, or title clouds — our experienced closing teams resolve them prior to settlement.
