F.A.Qs
Clear answers to your home-selling questions - no obligation, just helpful information
1. What types of properties do you buy?
We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhouses, multi-family properties, and more—regardless of condition or location.
2. How does HouseRush differ from a traditional real estate agent?
We offer two selling options: a fast cash offer or a traditional listing. If you choose our cash offer, we can close quickly with no showings or repairs. If you prefer the listing route, we’ll help you market your property for top dollar.
3. Do I need to make repairs before selling?
Not if you choose our cash offer. We buy homes in as-is condition, so you can skip the repairs, staging, and cleaning. For a traditional listing, we’ll discuss any suggested repairs or updates to help maximize your sale price.
4. What if my house needs extensive work or I’m behind on payments?
We specialize in helping homeowners with unique or challenging situations. Whether your home needs major repairs or you’re behind on mortgage payments, we’ll work with you to find the right solution.
5. How quickly can you close if I accept the cash offer?
We can often close in as little as a week—or whenever works best for you. The exact timeline depends on factors like title work, but we strive to make it as fast and convenient as possible.
6. Are there any fees or commissions with the cash sale?
No. When you sell to us for cash, HouseRush typically covers the closing costs, and there are no realtor commissions or hidden fees.
7. How do you determine the cash offer for my home?
We look at current market conditions, comparable home sales, and the property’s condition to arrive at a fair, transparent offer. We’re always happy to walk you through how we calculate our numbers.
8. What if I want to list my house on the market instead?
We have licensed real estate professionals on our team who will guide you through the traditional listing process, including staging recommendations, market pricing, and buyer negotiations.
9. Is there any obligation after I contact you?
Absolutely not. We’ll provide information and a cash offer (if requested), and you’re free to decide what’s best for you—no pressure or commitment required.
10. How do I start the process?
Reach out by phone or fill out the contact form on our website. We’ll discuss your property, explain your options, and schedule a walkthrough if needed.
11. Do I have to clean or stage my home for a cash sale?
No. One of the benefits of a cash sale is selling “as-is.” You can avoid cleaning, staging, or repairs—let us handle everything.
12. Can you help if I’m facing foreclosure?
Yes. We have experience working with homeowners in challenging financial situations and can often close quickly to help you avoid foreclosure or minimize its impact.
13. What if I’m not sure whether I want a cash offer or to list?
We’ll go over the pros and cons of both options, so you can choose what aligns best with your goals and timeline. There’s no rush to decide.
14. Do you work with inherited or probate properties?
Yes, we frequently help people sell inherited or probate properties. We can guide you through legal complexities and offer a quick sale solution if needed.
15. Will you still buy my property if there are liens or back taxes owed?
Potentially, yes. We’ll investigate any outstanding liens, taxes, or judgments during the title process and discuss with you how they can be resolved within the sale.
16. How do I know if your offer is fair?
We’re transparent about how we arrive at our numbers. We encourage you to compare our offer with other methods, including listing with an agent or getting multiple quotes.
17. What happens during a walkthrough?
If an in-person evaluation is necessary, we’ll do a quick walkthrough to assess the property’s condition. This helps us make a precise offer. We’re respectful of your time and will answer any questions on the spot.
18. Is my information kept private?
Yes. We value your privacy and keep all personal and property information confidential.
19. Do you only operate locally?
While our primary focus is on the local market, we’re continually expanding. If we can’t buy directly in your area, we can often connect you with a trusted partner.
20. What if I have other questions not listed here?
We’re always available to help. Just give us a call or fill out our contact form, and we’ll provide clear, straightforward answers to any additional questions you might have.
