When the Move Comes First
A relocation flips the usual home-sale timeline on its head. Instead of waiting for the “right” buyer, you need a guaranteed buyer who can work on your schedule. Whether you’re starting a new job, moving closer to family, or timing a school-year change, an as-is cash sale eliminates make-ready projects, open houses, inspection renegotiations, and lender delays. For a step-by-step overview of our process, visit How to Sell Your House.
The Problem With Listing While You’re Packing
A traditional listing assumes time is flexible. You budget days or weeks for paint and repairs, pay for cleaning and staging, and then hope the perfect buyer comes along with solid financing and a clean appraisal. If anything slips—a contractor, an inspection item, a low appraisal—your move may slip too. Carrying two homes at once also adds mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, yard care, and the stress of managing a property long-distance.
A Direct, As-Is Sale Built Around Your Move Date
One conversation, one walkthrough
You share the address, condition, and target move date. We schedule a brief walkthrough—either virtual or in person—to confirm the scope. No open houses, no repeated showings.
A no-obligation offer you can plan around
You’ll receive a clear, line-item offer with no agent commissions and an explanation of what fees we’ll cover. If the number and timeline work, you can select the closing date that suits your relocation needs. Start any time here: Get a Cash Offer.
Close with a North Carolina attorney.
We coordinate title, payoff statements, and documents with a local closing attorney. Funds are typically wired on the day of closing, allowing you to align the date with your move or job start. If you’d like to confirm coverage in your city, check our Service Area.
Timing Options That Make Moving Easier
Fast close (as little as days)
If you need the sale completed before you leave, we can often compress timelines—because there’s no lender, there’s no appraisal or financing contingency.
Close now, move later.
If a little breathing room helps, consider asking about a short post-closing occupancy period. With a written agreement, you can close to secure proceeds, then move a few days later.
Coordinate with new-home funds.
When you need sale proceeds to finalize your next lease deposit or down payment, a guaranteed cash closing date provides certainty. We’ll share a simple net sheet so you know your projected take-home. Have questions about how we communicate? Read real seller stories on our Reviews page.
How We Price for Speed and Certainty
Start with the after-repair value (ARV)
We estimate what your home would sell for, fully updated, then subtract renovation, holding, and resale costs, plus a fair margin for risk. That math is shared transparently so that you can make a decision quickly.
Condition and logistics
Aging roofs, systems, or cosmetic updates are factored into the offer, so you don’t have to make any repairs. If you need an accelerated close, we may adjust the price slightly for the extra logistics—but you save significantly by avoiding additional months of carrying costs and a second housing payment.
Local comparables guide the number.
We review recent neighborhood sales to keep valuations grounded. Would you like to discuss comps near you? Reach out via Contact Us.
What You’ll Skip (and What You’ll Save)
Repairs and make-ready
Forget contractor bids, punch lists, and re-inspections. In an as-is sale, you keep your time and cash for the move.
Showings and clean-up marathons
No weekend open houses. No last-minute scrambles because a buyer is “five minutes away.” One scheduled walkthrough, then paperwork.
Agent commissions and months of holding costs
With a direct sale, there are no listing commissions and fewer closing costs. More importantly, you avoid extra months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities while you’re already living elsewhere.
Relocation Scenarios We See All the Time
Company transfer with a fixed start date
You have a letter with a hard start in two weeks. We align closing with your travel and wire proceeds in time to secure your new place.
Selling from out of town
If you’ve already moved, we handle the process remotely and coordinate with a neighbor or lockbox to exchange keys. Everything can be signed and funded through the attorney.
The home needs work, and you won’t be able to do it before leaving.
From dated kitchens to storm damage, we price projects into the offer and take them on after closing—so you can keep packing, not patching.
FSBO vs. Cash: When a Parallel Path Makes Sense
Some relocating sellers want to test a short FSBO window. You can do that and still request a no-obligation cash offer as a fallback. If showings stall or the buyer’s financing wobbles, you won’t lose your moving window. See the steps on How to Sell Your House.
What Closing Day Looks Like
Title clear, documents ready
The attorney clears liens, confirms payoffs, and prepares documents. You bring ID, sign, and the sale funds—minus any mortgage and typical items—are wired to you.
Simple handoff
If you stay post-closing, hand over the keys on the agreed-upon date. If you have already moved, we coordinate possession with the attorney so you don’t have to fly back for logistics.
How to Choose the Right Buyer When Time Is Tight
Local presence and responsiveness
Choose a buyer who closes with North Carolina attorneys, can provide proof of funds, and responds promptly. Learn about our approach on About Us.
Contract clarity
Short inspection windows, clear fees, and a firm close date matter more than a headline price with strings attached. Ask for everything in plain English and a one-page net sheet.
