Check if your house qualifies for moving help
We fund a set number of homes each month. Enter your address, and we'll tell you what you qualify for.
Real investors who renovate homes.
We solve house problems. Even when the answer isn't us. A loan you can't pay, a house you inherited, a move you didn't plan. If we are not the right fit, we say so and show you what else you can do.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Real estate investor since 2021
I buy houses in any condition for cash, then renovate and rent or resell them. When a house isn't one I renovate, a trusted partner investor I've closed with before buys it on the same terms.
Because I pay cash, I don't wait on a bank. Behind on payments, inherited, full of belongings or falling apart: I can buy it. The offer reflects the house as it is and what it takes to resell it. I show you every number, and you pick the closing date.
My price is lower than what a fixed-up house sells for; in return I take on the repairs, the risk and the wait. I never push. If a listing would get you more, I'll say so.
Before you sell to anyone, me included, check three things
- Proof of funds. Ask any buyer for it. Mine is a bank letter in the company's name; you get it on request, before the visit.
- Where the money moves. Only at a licensed title company or closing attorney in your state. They run the title search, order your mortgage payoff, hold the funds and pay you. Nobody hands you a deed to sign at the kitchen table.
- Real projects, not stock photos. Every before-and-after on this site is a house we bought and renovated ourselves. See the projects →

How we calculate your cash offer. Honestly.
Buyers and their banks go by what similar homes nearby sold for, and by what is for sale today. So that's where we start, like a bank appraiser. Our in-house team checks every number.
What it would sell for, fixed up (ARV)ARV means After Repair Value. We find it from similar homes nearby: what they sold for in the last few months, and what the ones for sale right now are asking and how long they have been waiting. Markets move, so both matter. These are called comps.
Step 7 of 7Your house, fixed up: about $305K today. That is its ARV, After Repair Value.
- These homes near yours sold recently. Which ones really compare?
- Too far away. A comp must be within ½ mile, in the same neighborhood.
- Sold years ago. Prices change, so only sales from the last 6 months count.
- A bigger house sells for more. A comp has the same beds and baths.
- A condo is not a house. A comp is built the same way.
- 3 real comps are left. Here is what each one sold for.
- And what is for sale right now: 2 similar homes asking $299K and $315K, waiting 70+ days. Markets move, so today's listings count too.
- Your house, fixed up: about $305K today. That is its ARV, After Repair Value.
- Nearby sales
A real comp is:
- 1Within ½ mile
- 2Sold in the last 6 months, or for sale right now
- 3Same beds and baths
- 4Built the same way
ARV (After Repair Value): about $305K today. 3 real comps sold for $298K, $305K and $312K, and 2 similar homes are listed now at $299K and $315K, still waiting. When today's listings sit below past sales, we price from today. Next, we subtract repairs and our costs
Example. Your offer comes with the real comps for your address.
Minus repairsWhat it costs to fix it up. We confirm this during a short visit.
Minus our costs and profitTaxes, insurance and bills while we fix it, the cost of selling it again, and a fair profit for our work and risk.
Your cash offerIn writing, with the comps attached, so you can check every number.
We buy houses in any situation.
No judgment, no pressure. Pick yours to see how we help.
Which sounds like you?
Inherited a house
Probate, several heirs or you live out of state. We can wait for the court and buy the house with everything in it.
Sound familiar?
- Probate paperwork and court dates
- A house full of a lifetime of belongings
- Paying taxes, insurance and utilities on an empty house
How we help
- Probate? We can wait for the court
- Sell it with everything still inside
- Heirs out of state sign where they live, where allowed
Own a share as an heir
In many cases you can sell your share, even if the other heirs aren't ready to sell. We can make you an offer for it.
Sound familiar?
- Heirs who disagree or don't answer
- Paying your part of taxes and upkeep
- A share that's stuck going nowhere
How we help
- Sell just your share
- The other heirs do not have to sell
- The title company handles the paperwork
Major repairs
Roof, foundation, fire or water damage, mold, code violations. Repairs are our job, not yours.
Sound familiar?
- Repair quotes higher than you can pay
- Buyers' inspectors and lenders who say no
- Trouble getting insurance on an older home
How we help
- Roof, foundation, fire, water or mold
- No inspections to pass, no repairs
- We show the repair estimate behind the offer
Vacant house
An empty house still costs taxes, insurance and upkeep. Sell it as-is and stop paying for it.
Sound familiar?
- Bills for a house no one lives in
- Worry about break-ins, leaks and code notices
- A long drive every time something goes wrong
How we help
- Stop paying for a house nobody lives in
- Leave anything you do not want
- One visit, then everything by phone
Tired landlord
Late rent, bad tenants or costly repairs. Sell the rental with tenants still in place.
Sound familiar?
- Late or missed rent
- Repair calls and turnover costs
- A lease still running when you want out
How we help
- Tenants can stay in place
- No need to wait for the lease to end
- Sold as-is, with the leases
Relocating
New job or moving closer to family. Pick a closing date that matches your move.
Sound familiar?
- A start date that won't wait
- Paying for two homes at once
- No time for showings and repairs
How we help
- Close on your moving date
- Stay up to 14 days after closing, if you qualify
- Sign from your new city, where allowed
Divorce
Sell quickly and split the proceeds. We work with both owners and the court's timeline.
Sound familiar?
- Two owners who need to agree on everything
- A court or mediation timeline
- No energy for repairs, cleaning and showings
How we help
- One written offer for both owners
- Proceeds split at closing by the title company
- A date that fits your agreement
Facing foreclosure
Behind on payments or got a notice? Selling before the auction can protect your credit and the equity you have left.
Sound familiar?
- Letters from the lender and a sale date on the calendar
- Late fees and interest growing every month
- No time or money to fix up and list the house
How we help
- Sell before the auction date
- The loan is paid off at closing
- You keep the equity you have left
Behind on taxes
Property taxes and liens are paid off from the sale at closing, so you don't need cash up front.
Sound familiar?
- Tax bills and penalties that keep adding up
- Liens that block a normal sale
- Worry about a tax sale
How we help
- Taxes and liens paid from the sale
- No cash needed up front
- The title company handles the payoffs
Insurance or HOA too high
Premiums and assessments keep climbing until the house stops making sense. Sell it as-is, with no repairs to satisfy an insurer, and the bills stop at closing.
Sound familiar?
- A premium that doubled, or a policy that was cancelled
- Special assessments and rising HOA dues
- Repairs the insurer wants before it will renew
How we help
- No repairs to satisfy the insurer
- Dues and assessments settled at closing
- Close on the date you pick
Moving to something smaller
The house is more than you need now. Take what matters, leave the rest, and close on the date that fits your move.
Sound familiar?
- Stairs, rooms and a yard that are too much now
- Decades of belongings to sort
- Not knowing what you will walk away with
How we help
- Take what matters, leave the rest
- Free move or cleanout, if you qualify
- Close on the date that fits your move
Moving to assisted living or care
Often handled by the family or a power of attorney. We work around the move, the paperwork and a house full of belongings.
Sound familiar?
- A care bill that starts before the house sells
- A lifetime of belongings to sort
- Handling it all from another city
How we help
- A power of attorney can sign
- We work around the move into care
- Belongings cleared for free, if you qualify
Retiring and moving on
The house that fit a working life is more than you need now: closer to family, a smaller place or another state. Pick the closing date that fits your plans.
Sound familiar?
- Stairs, rooms and a yard that are too much now
- Decades of belongings to sort
- Not knowing what you will walk away with
How we help
- Close on the date that fits your plans
- Take what matters, leave the rest
- Stay up to 14 days after closing, if you qualify
Medical or care bills
When bills pile up, a written cash offer gives you a real number. If you qualify, part of your price can come before closing.
Sound familiar?

- A mortgage still due every month
- No energy for repairs or showings
How we help
- A written number within 12 hours of our call
- Part of your price before closing, if you qualify

Need the money

- Agents who need months you do not have
How we help

If youve never been thru probate consider yourself lucky. Its a mess. Sterling actually knew what they were doing which is more than I can say for the first 2 companies I called. They worked with my attorney and didnt make it harder than it already was. ✨
★★★★★
Got a job transfer with three weeks notice. Listing the house and waiting 90 days wasn't an option. Sterling gave me a cash offer on day one and let me pick the closing date. I moved on my schedule, not a realtors. Highly recommended!

Questions about selling your house for cash? Answers.
How do I know you're a legit cash home buyer?
Check us the way you'd check anyone. Read our Google reviews. Ask us for proof of funds. Your closing happens at a licensed title company or attorney, who holds the money and makes sure you get paid. We never ask you for money, and nothing is binding until you sign a purchase agreement.
My house doesn't need repairs. Can you still help?
Yes. Most sellers come to us for speed and certainty, not because of the condition: a closing date they pick, no showings, no commissions and no deal falling through. If your house needs little work, the repair estimate is small and your offer is higher. And if you have time and want more, ask about our higher-price option: we sell on the open market and you get an agreed price, with nothing out of pocket.
Can the price change after the visit?
Only if we find something major that wasn't mentioned. We show you what we found and explain any change in writing.
How fast can I sell my house for cash?
You choose the date. We can close in as little as 7 days, or on a standard 30-day timeline, or later if you need time to move or finish probate. It depends on the house, the title work and your situation.
Can I sell if I'm behind on payments or have liens?
Yes. Mortgages, back taxes, liens and judgments are paid off from the sale at closing by the title company. If you're facing foreclosure, call us early: the more time before the auction date, the more options you have.
Are you an iBuyer?
No. iBuyers make offers with an algorithm, mostly on newer homes in good condition in larger cities, and charge a service fee on the sale. We're cash home buyers: investors who buy houses in any condition and any situation, charge no fees, and you talk to a person, not an app.
How do you calculate my offer?
We start with what similar homes nearby sold for recently, fixed up. Then we subtract the repairs and our costs and profit. You get the offer in writing, with the comps attached, so you can check every number.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs?
No. There are no agent commissions, and we pay the closing costs. The price we agree on is what you get, minus only what you owe on the house, like a mortgage or liens.
Can I sell my house as-is, without repairs or a cleanout?
No. We buy the house as-is. Take what you want, like photos and keepsakes, and leave the rest. We clear it out.
How does the up to $20,000 before closing work?
If you qualify, we pay you cash early, once you sign, for a down payment, rent or your move. It's deducted from your proceeds at closing. How much depends on your house.
Can I stay in the house after closing?
If you qualify, yes. You can stay up to 14 days after closing, free. We pay the rest of your price the day you move out. If you stay past your date, a daily fee comes out of the rest.
What does the free move include?
If you qualify, all you have to do is pack. We pay the movers for a local move up to 50 miles, for homes up to 2,800 sq ft. You only pay for anything beyond that.
I inherited a house. Can you buy it?
Yes. We can wait for probate, buy the house with everything in it, and you can sign from wherever you live. If several heirs own it, we work with all of them.
Am I obligated to anything if I ask for an offer?
No. Getting an offer is free and there's no obligation until you sign. If it's not for you, just say no.
What houses don't you buy?
Usually not a fit for a cash offer: 55+ communities, mobile homes on rented land, houses already listed, or owing close to full value. Call us anyway: Market Sale may still work for you.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. ¡Hablamos español! Call or text (888) 260-1777.
