Do I need to fix anything before selling my house for cash?
Do I need to fix anything before selling my house for cash? Short answer is no, absolutely not. Janet C. found Danny Buys Houses online and called about getting a cash offer for her house. She was worried that she would be required to fix any of the issues she knew the house had before we would buy it.
It is not often someone sells their house for cash so it is completely understandable to not know what is typical. Most cash house buying companies will buy your house completely as it is, warts and all. What about belongings you do not want to take with you? Yes, those as well.
In fact, we routinely buy hoarder houses along with everything still in them. For most sellers, going through all of the personal belongings of their loved ones and having to throw away dumpster full of things is something they would rather avoid. We get it.
Just this year we bought a 1600 square foot house that needed 7 40-yard dumpsters to clean the house out. That is in addition to a local metal recycler that came with a large trailer to get any recyclables. When I went to view that house and make an offer, I had to literally climb through the house. I could not walk through because there were no clean paths.
If you have a house that needs repairs or has belongings you would rather leave behind reach out to me at https://dannybuyshouses.com/ I am happy to talk with you about your situation.

Who are the most recommended cash house buyers in San Antonio?
Let’s breakdown who we are typically competing with here at Danny Buys Houses and why people tend to want to sell to us or one of these competitors. Yeah, I know you probably figured I would just talk about how Danny Buys Houses is the only company you should work with.
The reality is, sometimes other buyers are a better option. Only you can make that call and I always recommend you get offers from multiple cash house buying companies. When I get a call to make a cash offer on someone’s house, it is usually the case that I am not the only person they have reached out to. The other companies sellers tell me they have contacted usually consist of OpenDoor, HomeVestors, and Texas All Cash. I personally have known Geremy from Texas All Cash for well over a decade and know he is an honest man running a good company. OpenDoor and HomeVestors are larger national companies. HomeVestors has franchisee owned local branches.
The reason why sellers tend to contact us is because we all have many years of local experience that has resulted in helping thousands of sellers sell quickly, without hassle. Our online reviews and BBB accreditation give sellers confidence they will be working with an honest and reputable company. Yes, there are a lot of bad actors in this business and it can be hard to know who is actually capable of closing the deal.
I truly believe certainty of the sale is what most sellers want, even above how much money they will make. This just comes from personally working with hundreds of sellers over the last more than 20 years. I know that may sound like bragging, but it really is just to drive home how important it is to work with a cash buyer that has been in business for a long time and has a good reputation.
Even if you do not sell to one of these companies, you will know what to look for. Who offers the most? It depends on so many factors, and that is why I recommend contacting multiple companies. Sometimes OpenDoor offers several thousands dollars more than us and sometimes we have quite a bit more. It depends on the house and what each companies goals are at the moment.

Can a cash sale actually close in 7 days? What can cause delays?
Can a cash sale really close in 7 days? What can cause delays? This comes up a lot when we make cash offers. People are sometimes skeptical that they can truly have their house sold within one week and be completely done with it. A recent seller, John, was "done with this house". He wanted to have everything done quickly so that he could get rid of all of the stress the home had caused him due to finding mold in the house. We were able to close within 7 days and he finally got the relief he wanted. He now had the time and energy to be there for his family again. It's not always this fast and easy however. There are some things that will delay a closing. Inheritance issues is probably the biggest delayer of a closing. If a will hasn't yet been probated or there are heirs that have died, things can get delayed while everything is handled by the title company and any needed attorney. Most of the time we can move quickly through an inherited probably with an affidavit of heirship, but other times court approval is needed. Short delays can sometimes be caused by HOA's. If they cannot provide the paperwork necessary for transfer right away. This is not common but does happen and usually only delays by less than a week. Sometimes lenders delay closing because they take longer to provide a payoff for the existing mortgage. This usually is not more than week but can be a couple weeks. We do not get professional inspections or appraisals so those never delay a closing for us.
