Listing as-is nets the most if you can wait. Our cash offer trades ~$29,500 for speed, certainty, and zero hassle.
We can help with any of these options.
*Typical closing timeline, subject to clear title and standard conditions. Commission rates are negotiable and not set by law — 6% used as a current market estimate. All figures are approximations; actual costs depend on your property, market conditions, and the professionals you work with.

Why we show you all three options:
We're not just cash buyers — we're a full-service real estate team. We can list your home, help you sell as-is, or make a cash offer. Every situation is different, and we believe you deserve to see the real numbers for every path, not just the one that benefits us most. If listing makes more sense for you, we'll tell you — and we'll help you do it.
Get a Second Opinion
We'd never ask you to make a decision this big without doing your homework. Before you choose any option, we encourage you to:
- ✓ Get a free CMA (market analysis) from a local agent
- ✓ Get independent repair estimates from a licensed contractor
- ✓ Compare at least 2-3 cash offers if you go that route
- ✓ Talk to a real estate attorney if you have legal questions
Confident sellers make better decisions — and we're confident our offer holds up to scrutiny.
HouseRush buys properties directly and also works with a network of investors when it's the right fit. Either way, your offer and closing terms don't change — we stand behind the deal. This sample is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute an offer, guarantee, or appraisal. Individual results vary based on property condition, location, and market. All estimates are approximate. Consult a licensed real estate professional, attorney, or financial advisor before making any real estate decision.
