THE HOMEOFFER PROCESS

From Property Address to Closing

A direct home sale still involves a real property review, written agreement, title work, and escrow. The difference is that you are selling directly to the buyer rather than preparing the property for the open market.

02 REVIEW
PROPERTY & MARKET REVIEW

HomeOffer Reviews the Property

Next, we review the property itself and the local market to understand the home in its current condition.

The review may include recent comparable sales, location, size, layout, current condition, likely repair work, cleanup requirements, market demand, and other details that could affect a direct purchase.

If additional information or property access is needed to prepare an informed offer, we will explain what is required.

03 YOUR OFFER
REVIEW BEFORE DECIDING

Review Your Written Cash Offer

Once the required property information and review are complete, HomeOffer prepares a direct offer for you to consider.

24
HOUR OFFER TARGET

HomeOffer aims to provide an offer within 24 hours once the information and property access needed for review have been received.

Properties involving probate, title questions, tenants, unusual additions, or significant condition issues may require additional review.

01 Purchase Price

Review the proposed price for the property.

02 Terms

Read the proposed purchase terms carefully.

03 Questions

Ask about anything you want explained.

04 Timeline

Consider whether the schedule works for you.

05 Other Options

Compare the offer with listing or another selling route.

There is no obligation to accept simply because you requested an offer.

04 CLOSING
TITLE, ESCROW & CLOSING

Choose Whether and When to Close

If the offer works for you, the next step is a signed purchase agreement followed by the required title and escrow process.

The closing date is agreed upon based on your preferred timing and the requirements of the transaction.

Some sellers want to move quickly. Others need additional time for a move, family decisions, tenants, an estate, or another property.

Final timing remains subject to title, escrow, legal authority to sell, occupancy, required documents, and other issues affecting the property.

HOW YOUR OFFER IS REVIEWED

How HomeOffer Reviews Your Property Before Making an Offer

A cash offer should not feel like a number generated without context. HomeOffer looks at the property and the circumstances surrounding the purchase before preparing an offer.

PROPERTY-SPECIFIC REVIEW
NOT AN AUTOMATED ONLINE ESTIMATE The property, local market, condition, and expected work are reviewed together.

Local property data and comparable sales provide context.

LOCAL MARKET CONTEXT

Recent Local Sales

We review reasonably comparable recent property sales near the home.

Location matters. Two houses with similar square footage can have different values because of neighborhood demand, lot characteristics, layout, condition, street location, additions, property type, or other factors.

02
AS-IS CONDITION

Current Condition and Expected Work

You do not have to repair the property first, but its current condition is part of the calculation.

The review can consider visible condition, deferred maintenance, major systems, cleanup, damage, additions, and other property details.

✓ Roof and exterior condition
✓ Plumbing and electrical systems
✓ Heating and cooling
✓ Foundation or structural concerns
✓ Kitchens and bathrooms
✓ Flooring and interior condition
✓ Deferred maintenance
✓ Cleanup or contents remaining
✓ Fire, smoke, or water damage
✓ Unpermitted additions or code issues

AFTER THE PURCHASE

Costs and Risk After the Purchase

A direct buyer takes responsibility for the property after closing.

Expected repairs, maintenance, insurance, utilities, financing, taxes, holding time, resale expenses, and changes in the market can affect what HomeOffer is able to pay.

REPAIRS HOLDING COSTS RESALE COSTS MARKET RISK
04
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE

What the Offer Is Not

The offer is not a guaranteed percentage of market value and should not be treated as the price a fully repaired home would necessarily receive on the open market.

A prepared traditional listing may produce a higher gross sale price.

The purpose of a direct offer is to give you a different number to compare against repair costs, commissions, concessions, holding expenses, preparation, buyer financing, and the time involved with selling on the open market.

AN IMPORTANT COMPARISON

Compare Net Proceeds, Not Only Headline Price.

The highest advertised sale price is not always the same as the amount the seller ultimately keeps after expenses and transaction costs.

PROCESS FAQS

Questions About the HomeOffer Cash Home Buying Process

Understand the process before deciding whether a direct sale is right for you. These are some of the questions homeowners commonly have before requesting an offer.

01 Do I have to repair or clean my house before HomeOffer reviews it?

No. You can start with the property in its current condition. Repairs, deferred maintenance, cleanup, and other condition issues can be considered when the offer is prepared.

02 How quickly can I receive an offer?

HomeOffer aims to provide a cash offer within 24 hours after receiving the information and property access necessary to review the home. More complicated condition, title, probate, ownership, or occupancy situations may take longer.

03 Will someone need to see the property?

It depends on the property and the information available. HomeOffer may need additional details or property access before finalizing an offer. If a visit or other review is required, the team should explain that before moving forward.

04 Do I have to accept the offer?

No. Requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell. Review the price, written terms, timing, and expected proceeds before making your decision.

05 Can I choose when I close?

HomeOffer works with sellers to agree on a practical closing schedule. The final closing date is still subject to title, escrow, legal authority, occupancy, and other transaction requirements.

06 What if the property has tenants, probate, liens, or repair problems?

You can still request a review. Share those details early so HomeOffer can understand the property correctly. Some issues may require additional documentation, professional advice, or more time before closing.
