Selling to a cash buyer in Portland takes seven to fourteen days from signed contract to closing. The buyer inspects the property, calculates an offer from after-repair value minus repairs, holding costs, closing costs, and margin, then closes through a local title company. The seller pays no commission and makes no repairs.
1
How do I tell you about the house?
You tell us the address and a way to reach you, by phone, text, or the form on this site. No repairs or cleaning are needed before this step. We pull public records the same day.
2
What happens when you walk the property?
We visit for 30 to 45 minutes to see condition and estimate repair scope: roof, systems, foundation, cosmetic work. Nothing needs to be cleaned or staged first.

How fast do you make an offer?
Within one business day of the walkthrough. We show the arithmetic behind the number, not just the number itself.
4
What if I want to think about it?
Take the number and decide on your own timeline. There is no obligation at any point, including after you have the offer in hand. Some sellers take it to a realtor to compare.

Who handles closing?
A local title company runs the title search, holds earnest money, and disburses funds at closing. Not us. You are welcome to bring your own attorney.
How do you calculate the offer?
We start with after-repair value, then subtract repair cost, holding costs, closing costs, and our margin. Here is a worked example on a plausible Portland house, not a formula kept behind closed doors.
| After-repair value (comparable sales nearby) | $420,000 |
| Repair cost (roof, kitchen, foundation crack) | −$48,000 |
| Holding costs (60 to 90 days: taxes, insurance, utilities) | −$6,500 |
| Closing costs | −$4,200 |
| Buyer margin | −$36,300 |
| Cash offer | $325,000 |
Illustrative example. Your number depends on your house’s actual condition and comparable sales in your neighborhood.
What does it cost the seller?
Nothing out of pocket. There is no commission because there is no agent, no fee to us, and no repair costs. We pay standard closing costs, so you do not bring money to the table.
What if I change my mind?
Before you sign a contract, you can walk away at any time with no cost. After you sign, the contract sets the terms, and we point out the window where you can still back out rather than hoping you miss it.
