Selling your home for cash can be one of the fastest and easiest ways to move on from a property — especially if you’re dealing with repairs, relocation, or financial challenges. But here’s the truth: not all cash buyers are the same.
Before you sign any agreement, it’s critical to ask the right questions to ensure you’re working with a reputable, experienced, and transparent buyer.
At Results House Buyer, we’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners who want peace of mind, not pressure. So, we’ve put together the top 10 questions you should ask any cash buyer before selling your home.
🏡 1️⃣ Are You a Direct Buyer or a Wholesaler?
Not every “cash buyer” actually buys homes directly. Some are wholesalers who put your property under contract and then assign it to another investor.
👉 Why it matters:
Working with a direct buyer like Results House Buyer means you’re dealing directly with the decision-maker — no middlemen, no surprises, and no delays.
💵 2️⃣ Can You Show Proof of Funds?
Any legitimate cash buyer should be able to prove they have the funds available to purchase your home.
👉 Ask for:
A recent bank statement, letter from their financial institution, or proof of cash reserves.
This ensures your buyer has the financial ability to close — not just promises.
📅 3️⃣ How Fast Can You Close?
One of the biggest perks of selling to a cash buyer is speed. A trustworthy company should give you a clear closing timeline upfront.
At Results House Buyer, we can often close in as little as 7 to 10 days, depending on your needs.
👉 Pro Tip:
If a buyer avoids giving a timeline or keeps delaying, that’s a red flag.
🧾 4️⃣ Will You Buy the Home As-Is?
The main advantage of selling to a cash buyer is no repairs, no cleaning, and no staging.
Make sure your buyer truly means “as-is.” Some companies will renegotiate after inspections.
At Results House Buyer, we buy properties in any condition — even with damage, code violations, or tenants — and we never ask for repairs or hidden fees.
💰 5️⃣ How Do You Determine the Offer Price?
A professional buyer should explain how they calculate your cash offer — including comparable sales, repair estimates, and market trends.
👉 Watch out for:
Lowball offers without explanation or vague pricing formulas.
At Results House Buyer, we’re 100% transparent. We’ll walk you through how we arrive at the final number — so you can feel confident every step of the way.
⚖️ 6️⃣ Are There Any Hidden Fees or Commissions?
One of the biggest misconceptions about cash home sales is that there might be agent commissions or closing costs hidden in the deal.
A trustworthy buyer should cover all standard closing costs and charge no commissions.
At Results House Buyer, you pay nothing out of pocket — what we offer is what you get at closing.
📝 7️⃣ Will You Use a Licensed Title Company or Attorney?
Always make sure your transaction goes through a reputable title company or closing attorney.
👉 This protects both parties and ensures:
- Title is clear
- Payment is legitimate
- Documents are handled legally
Results House Buyer works only with licensed title companies to guarantee a safe and transparent closing process.
🧍♂️ 8️⃣ Can I Choose My Closing Date?
Flexibility is key — especially if you’re still planning your next move.
Ask your cash buyer if you can set your preferred closing date.
At Results House Buyer, we adapt to your timeline — whether you need to close fast or need a few extra weeks to transition smoothly.
🧠 9️⃣ Do You Have Reviews or References from Past Sellers?
A reliable buyer should be able to share real testimonials from previous homeowners.
Check their Google Reviews, social media pages, or video testimonials to verify credibility.
👉 Tip:
Results House Buyer proudly showcases genuine success stories from local sellers who’ve closed quickly and confidently with us.
🏆 🔟 What Makes You Different from Other Cash Buyers?
This question helps you understand what truly sets a buyer apart — whether it’s experience, transparency, flexibility, or customer care.
At Results House Buyer, we focus on results, not pressure. Our goal is to help homeowners solve problems and walk away with a deal that makes sense — financially and emotionally.
