Not all cash home buyers work the same way. Some quote high on the phone and cut the number later. We do the opposite: one real offer within 24 hours, built on what similar houses near you actually sold for, and we show you the math behind it. No fees, no commissions, no obligation. If it does not work for you, keep the number and we part as friends.
A real buyer shows proof of funds before you sign anything. Ask us, we'll send it. If a buyer dodges that question, walk away.
We show what similar houses near you sold for and how repairs change the math. A buyer who won't explain their price is hiding something.
No fees, no commissions, and we cover closing costs. Any "buyer" asking for money upfront is running a scam, full stop.
Every closing runs through a licensed title company with the money in escrow. You get protection, paperwork, and a clean handoff.
| Selling to a cash home buyer | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | 7 to 14 days, you pick the date | Often 2 to 4 months, sometimes longer |
| Fees | None. We also cover closing costs | Commission, usually around 6%, plus seller closing costs |
| Repairs and prep | None, we buy as-is | Repairs, cleaning and staging before listing |
| Showings | None | Strangers walking through your home for weeks |
| Certainty | Cash in escrow, no financing to fall through | Deals can collapse if the buyer’s loan is denied |
| Price | Below retail, and we show you the math behind the number | Market price, if it sells, minus fees and repairs |
The honest trade: if your house is in good shape and you can wait a few months, an agent may get you more money. A cash home buyer is the fast, certain option when the house needs work, the timeline is short, or you just want it done. Ask us for both numbers, we’ll walk you through the math either way.
The number we send on day one is the number you walk away with on closing day. No lowball switcheroos.
Tenant left a mess? Roof shot? Hoarder situation? We've seen and bought it all. Truly as-is.
Move next week or wait three months. Whatever your life needs, the closing date is yours to pick.
You'll talk to a real person, not a 1-800 call center reading scripts. We actually pick up and help.

Got a job transfer with three weeks notice. Listing the house and waiting 90 days wasn't an option. Sterling gave me a cash offer on day one and let me pick the closing date. I moved on my schedule, not a realtors. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience working with Sterling Home Offer. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they made everything simple and stress-free. The team was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. I truly appreciated how smoothly everything went and would definitely recommend them to others!

If youve never been thru probate consider yourself lucky. Its a mess. Sterling actually knew what they were doing which is more than I can say for the first 2 companies I called. They worked with my attorney and didnt make it harder than it already was.✨
Legit cash home buyers exist, and so do bad actors. A real buyer shows proof of funds, explains how they priced the offer, never charges you fees, and closes through a licensed title company. We do all four, and you can check each one before you commit to anything.
We start with what similar houses near you actually sold for, then adjust for the condition of yours and the repairs it needs. No black box: we walk you through the math and answer every question.
With us, none. We even cover the closing costs. The number we agree on is the number you get at closing. And a warning for your search: if any buyer asks you for money upfront, that is a scam.
As fast as 7 days when the title is clean. Need longer? You pick the closing date and we work around your timeline, not the other way around.
No. The offer is free and no strings attached. Some people take it, some list with an agent instead, some just wanted to know what the house is worth in cash. All fine by us.
