How selling your house for cash works
Selling your house to Southern Home Offers takes six steps and usually 7–30 days: a phone call, one walkthrough, a written offer, a signed contract, title work, and closing. You never repair, clean or show the house.
- 1
Tell us about the house
Fill in the form or call. We ask about the condition, what you owe if anything, and when you want to be done. About ten minutes.
- 2
One walkthrough
We see the house once, as it is — no cleaning or repairs. If you live out of town, a lockbox works.
- 3
Written offer
You get the offer in writing with our repair estimate and math, usually within 24 hours of the walkthrough. If the house would do better listed, we say so.
- 4
Sign the contract
Plain-language purchase agreement with the price, closing date and any disclosures in writing. Take the time you need and have anyone you like review it.
- 5
Title work
A local title company (Tennessee) or closing attorney (Georgia) checks title and orders payoffs for any mortgage or liens.
- 6
Close and get paid
Sign on the date you chose — in person or remotely — and receive your funds by wire or check. Leave anything you do not want.
