No agents. No repairs. No waiting. Here’s how our cash home buying process works — from first contact to cash in hand.

Homeowner calling to share property details on a mobile phone

Share your address and a few details about your home’s condition, just a quick conversation or form submission.

We work with all situations: foreclosure, inherited homes, code violations, or simply a house you need to move on from quickly.

Happy homeowner reviewing a cash offer on a tablet and giving a thumbs up

We assess your property and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours — sometimes the same day.

Our offer is based on real market data, not lowball tactics. There’s zero pressure to accept and no fees if you walk away.

Happy family settling into their new home with moving boxes

Close on Your Schedule. We handle all the paperwork, title work, and coordination. No repairs to make, no cleaning required, no agents taking a cut.

We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners close quickly and move forward.

Selling the house is one step. Figuring out your next move is another.

For many homeowners, especially those moving out of a long-term home or coordinating a downsizing move, having extra time after closing can make the transition much easier.

That extra time can make things a lot easier if you’re coordinating a move, downsizing, waiting on your next home, or just trying to avoid feeling rushed.

We’ll walk you through the details upfront so you can decide whether it makes sense for your situation.

  • Close on your timeline
  • Stay in the home for up to 30 days after closing
  • Move when you’re ready
  • Coordinating your next move
  • Downsizing from a long-term home
  • Waiting for your next property to be ready
  • Trying to avoid moving out immediately after closing

No repairs, no fees, no stress — just a faster, easier way to sell.

The average home is currently taking 62 days on market from generating any offer to close according to Realtor.com. We can still close in as little as 7 days.

How do cash home buyers work?

Cash home buyers like 3 Step Home Sale purchase properties directly from homeowners without using mortgage financing. We make a cash offer based on the property’s condition and market value, handle all the paperwork, and close on a timeline you choose — often in 7–14 days. There are no agents, no showings, and no repair requirements.

How fast can I sell my house for cash?

Once you contact us, you’ll have a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, we can typically close in as little as 7 days, though we’ll work to match whatever timeline suits you best — including longer timelines if you need more time to arrange your move.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

No. We buy houses as-is, meaning you don’t need to repair, clean, paint, or stage anything. Whether your home has structural issues, water damage, outdated systems, or just years of deferred maintenance — we’ll make an offer on it exactly as it stands.

Are there any fees or commissions?

None. We charge no agent commissions, no closing fees, and no hidden costs. We also cover standard closing costs on our end. The cash offer we present is what you walk away with at closing — no deductions.

What areas do you buy houses in?

We buy houses across Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia. We cover major cities and surrounding suburbs in each state — from Arlington and Norfolk in Virginia to Frederick and Dundalk in Maryland, to markets across Florida and Texas.

Is the cash offer obligation-free?

Yes — completely. There’s no pressure, no contract until you’re ready to move forward, and no fee if you decide not to sell. Many homeowners request an offer just to understand what their options are, and that’s perfectly fine with us.
