Sell your house fast, as-is, for cash.

We start with comparable sales — homes of similar size, age and layout that have sold near you in the last few months — to establish what your house is worth once it is in resale condition. From that number we subtract three things. First, the condition of your property: roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, kitchens and baths, plus anything deferred. Second, our repair estimate, which is what a contractor will actually charge us to bring the home back to market standard, not a guess. Third, our holding and closing costs for the period we own the home — taxes, insurance, utilities and title fees, all of which grow with the timeline. Your preferred closing date matters too: a faster, cleaner close reduces our carrying risk and that shows up in the offer. You get every one of these inputs in writing so you can see exactly how we arrived at the number.

None. Housit pays standard closing costs and there are no agent commissions or hidden charges. The number you accept is the number you receive at the title company — no last-minute deductions for repairs, inspections or administrative fees.

Most sellers close in 7 to 14 days because we buy with cash and do not wait on a lender, an appraisal or an underwriting committee. The timeline is usually driven by the title company clearing title rather than by us. If you need more time to move, finish a school year, or coordinate the purchase of your next home, we will set the closing date around you — 30, 60 or 90 days is fine.

No. We buy homes in every condition — outdated, storm damaged, fire damaged, cluttered, tenant-occupied or mid-renovation. Take what matters to you and leave the rest, including furniture and debris. We handle the cleanout at our cost and it does not come out of your proceeds.

Yes. We regularly buy rental properties with tenants in place, whether they are on a current lease, month-to-month, or behind on rent. You do not need to evict anyone or wait for a lease to expire before selling — we take the property subject to the existing lease and deal with the tenant relationship after closing. Send us the lease terms and rent roll along with your address and we will factor them into the offer. If the property is occupied by someone who is not on a lease, tell us that too; it changes the plan but it does not stop the sale.

It is still worth talking. If your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes or HOA dues add up to more than the property will sell for, a straight cash sale may not cover the payoff — but there are usually options. Depending on your lender we can work toward a short sale, negotiate with lienholders, or structure the purchase so the debt is settled at closing. In some cases the gap is smaller than homeowners assume once late fees and estimated repair costs are recalculated. Send us the address and your approximate payoff amount and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

An agent markets your home to retail buyers and typically gets a higher headline price, but that price comes after repairs, staging, showings, 5–6% in commissions, buyer concessions and an average of 60 to 90 days on market plus escrow — and the deal can still collapse if the buyer's financing falls through. Housit is the buyer, not a middleman. There is no listing, no showings, no repair negotiation and no financing contingency; you pick the closing date and we pay standard closing costs. The right choice depends on your priorities: if you want the maximum possible price and can wait, list it. If you want speed, certainty and zero out-of-pocket cost, sell direct.

Never. The offer is free and there is no pressure. Review it, compare it against an agent's estimate, take it to your attorney, and walk away if it is not right for you.
