How fast can I sell my house for cash?

Most cash sales close in 7 to 21 days. Once you accept our cash offer, you pick the closing date that works for your timeline — as soon as one week from today. Unlike traditional home sales that take 60 to 90 days on average (and can fall through due to financing issues), a cash sale eliminates bank approvals, appraisal delays, and buyer contingencies. If you need to sell your house fast because of foreclosure, relocation, or any other urgent situation, our process is built for speed.

Do I need to make repairs before selling my house fast?

No repairs needed — we buy houses in any condition. That includes fire damage, water damage, outdated interiors, missing roofs, foundation cracks, mold, hoarding situations, and everything in between. Many homeowners spend thousands on repairs before listing, only to have buyers negotiate even more discounts. When you sell your house for cash to Chitty Buys Houses, we handle all repairs after closing so you don't spend a dime.

Are there any fees or commissions when I sell my house for cash?

Zero fees and zero commissions. The cash offer you accept is the exact amount you receive at closing. We also typically cover standard closing costs, including title fees and transfer taxes. Compare that to a traditional sale where you'd pay 5-6% in agent commissions plus thousands in closing costs — on a $250,000 home, that's $15,000 or more in savings by choosing a cash offer.

How does Chitty Buys Houses determine a cash offer?

We evaluate your property based on its current condition, location, comparable recent sales in your area, and local market trends. Our cash offers are fair and transparent — we'll show you how we arrived at our number. We're not looking to make a lowball offer designed to take advantage of your situation. Our goal is to present a price that works for both sides so you can sell your house fast with confidence.

Is Chitty Buys Houses a real estate brokerage?

No. Chitty Buys Houses is not a licensed real estate brokerage. We are a cash home-buying service that connects homeowners with vetted cash buyers and licensed real estate professionals who can close quickly on your property. This means you get the speed and simplicity of a cash offer backed by professionals who handle all the legal and title work.

Why Homeowners Sell Their House Fast for Cash

House with a sold sign in the front yard after a fast cash home sale — A cash offer lets you sell your house fast and skip the months-long listing process.

Every homeowner's situation is different, but the goal is the same: sell your house fast and move on with your life. Whether you're facing financial pressure, a major life change, or simply own a property you no longer want, a cash offer gives you a guaranteed sale without the uncertainty of traditional listings.

Homeowners sell to us for all kinds of reasons — from avoiding foreclosure and selling an inherited property to navigating a divorce or simply needing to relocate quickly. Whatever your situation, Chitty Buys Houses can help you get a fair cash offer and close on your timeline.

Unlike working with a real estate agent, you won't pay commissions, schedule showings, or wait months for a buyer's loan to be approved. Our process is designed to help people who need to sell house fast without the headaches of a traditional sale.

Many homeowners don't realize how expensive the traditional listing process can be. Between agent commissions (typically 5-6% of the sale price), repair costs, staging expenses, and months of carrying costs like mortgage payments, insurance, and taxes, a "higher" listing price often doesn't mean more money in your pocket. A cash offer from Chitty Buys Houses eliminates every one of those expenses.

Other common scenarios include selling a house with code violations, fire damage, or problem tenants. These properties are nearly impossible to list on the open market, but cash buyers like us purchase them every day. No matter the condition, no matter the reason — we make fair cash offers.

How Chitty Buys Houses Is Different From Other Cash Buyers

Two people shaking hands to close a fast cash offer on a house sale — We believe selling your house for cash should be straightforward, transparent, and fair.

Not all cash home buyers are the same. Some companies use aggressive tactics, lowball offers, and hidden fees to take advantage of homeowners in tough situations. Chitty Buys Houses operates differently — we provide honest, transparent cash offers based on real comparable sales in your area.

Transparent pricing: We show you exactly how we calculated your cash offer. There are no mystery deductions or surprise fees at closing. The offer amount you accept is the amount you receive — period.

No pressure, no deadlines:Our cash offers come with zero obligation. Take a day, take a week — compare our offer to other options. We're confident our offer is fair, and we never pressure homeowners into a quick decision.

Flexible closing dates: Need to close in 7 days because of an upcoming foreclosure? We can do that. Need 60 days to find your next home? That works too. When you sell your house for cash with us, you control the timeline.
