Selling your house fast for cash eliminates buyer financing delays, appraisal contingencies, and months of listing hassle. Most cash sales close in 7 to 21 days. Whether you need to relocate, face financial hardship, or want to skip the traditional process, here is how it works.
Chitty Buys Houses is a nationwide cash home-buying service that buys houses in any condition, helping homeowners sell fast without repairs, fees, or waiting.
What Does Selling for Cash Mean?
A cash sale means the buyer purchases your property without a mortgage. No lender means no loan application, no underwriting, no appraisal, and no risk of financing falling through. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), cash transactions account for roughly 28% of all home sales and consistently close faster than financed deals.
How Does the Process Work?
The cash home-buying process has three steps:
- Contact the buyer. Call or fill out a form with your property details. No cost, no obligation.
- Receive a cash offer. The buyer evaluates your property based on condition, location, and comparable sales. You get a no-obligation offer, usually within 24 hours.
- Close on your timeline. Accept the offer, pick your closing date — as soon as 7 days — and receive funds at closing through a title company.
No agent commissions, no listing fees, no repair demands.

How Fast Can You Close?
Most cash sales close in 7 to 21 days. Properties with clean titles can close in one week. Homes with tax liens, probate requirements, or judgments may take slightly longer while those issues are resolved at closing.
Compare that to traditional listings, which typically take 45 to 75 days from listing to closing — plus weeks of preparation beforehand.
What Types of Houses Qualify?
Cash buyers purchase homes in virtually any condition:
- Major repair needs — roof damage, foundation problems, plumbing issues
- Property damage — fire, water, storm, mold
- Life situations — foreclosure, divorce, relocation, inheritance
Is a Cash Sale Right for You?
A cash sale works best when speed, certainty, or convenience matters more than maximizing every dollar. If you are unsure, compare both options in our Cash Buyer vs. Realtor guide. Concerned about scams? Read how to spot cash buyer red flags.
