What Happens After I Submit My Address for a Cash Offer?
No lockbox, no sign in the yard, no forty showings. Here is the full step-by-step of what happens between submitting your address and getting funds.
Submitting an address online feels like stepping into a black box. It shouldn't. Here's every step on our side, in order.
Step 1 — Your request lands (within seconds)
You get a confirmation on screen and by email so you know it went through. Your information goes to us and only to us — we do not sell or share leads with a network of other investors.
Step 2 — We research before we call (same day)
Before we pick up the phone we pull county tax records, ownership and lien history, lot and square footage, and recent comparable sales in your neighborhood — whether that's Summerville, Hephzibah, Grovetown, Evans, Martinez, or North Augusta.
Step 3 — A short call (within one business day)
One local call, usually 10–15 minutes. We ask:
- What's the condition of the roof, HVAC, and any water damage?
- Is anyone living there — you, family, or a tenant with a lease?
- Is there a mortgage, lien, or unpaid tax balance?
- Was the home inherited, and is probate open or complete?
- What's your ideal closing date?
Step 4 — Walkthrough (optional, 20 minutes)
In person or by video call if you're out of state. No staging, no cleaning, no leaving the house. We are looking at bones and systems, not housekeeping.
Step 5 — Written offer (24–48 hours)
You get a written, no-obligation offer with the numbers behind it: comparable sales used, estimated repairs, and closing costs we cover. Ask us to explain any line. The offer typically stays good for 7 days.
You are never obligated. Take the offer to an agent for a second opinion — a real buyer will still be here when you're done comparing.
Step 6 — You choose the date
If you accept, we open title with a local closing attorney and you pick the day. Seven days if you need out fast, sixty if you need time to find your next place. Rent-back arrangements after closing are possible in many cases.
Step 7 — Closing
You sign at the attorney's office (or remotely, if you're on orders or out of state) and funds go out by wire or check the same day. Take what you want from the house and leave the rest.
What never happens
- No sign in your yard and no listing on the MLS.
- No lockbox or strangers touring your home on weekends.
- No repair demands after an inspection report.
- No financing contingency that collapses two days before closing.
- No pressure — if a buyer pushes you to sign today, walk away.
Quick answers
Am I obligated to accept a cash offer after requesting one?
No. A cash offer request is free and carries no obligation. You can decline, take the offer to compare against an agent's opinion of value, or simply stop responding. Nothing is binding until you sign a purchase agreement.
How is a cash offer calculated?
A cash offer starts from the home's after-repair value based on recent comparable sales nearby, then subtracts estimated repair costs, carrying and closing costs, and a margin. A reputable buyer will walk you through each number.
