The honest version
Three ways to sell the same house, side by side.
| Cash offer (us) | Listing with an agent | Selling it yourself (FSBO) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Worse for you: Below retail. We say it. | Better for you: Highest, if it shows well. | Worse for you: Retail on paper. Buyers push back. |
| Time to close | Better for you: You pick the date. | Worse for you: Months, once under contract. | Worse for you: As long as it takes. |
| Repairs | Better for you: None. As it sits. | Worse for you: A repair list after inspection. | Worse for you: Yours to do or negotiate. |
| Commissions & fees | Better for you: None at all. | Worse for you: Commission plus closing costs. | Worse for you: You may owe the buyer's agent. |
| Showings | Better for you: One walkthrough. Us. | Worse for you: Strangers until it sells. | Worse for you: Strangers, and you let them in. |
| Certainty of closing | Better for you: We are the buyer. No lender. | Worse for you: Financing can fall apart late. | Worse for you: Same risk, nobody managing it. |
Speed and certainty
Highest price, if it shows well
You run the whole sale
The part nobody else does
Three programs, named, with a number attached. Not vague promises. We describe what we pay for. We never promise the outcome.
We pay the probate attorney at closing. Nothing comes out of your pocket to open the estate.
We bring in foreclosure attorneys and handle the bank ourselves.
Movers, a rental agent for your next place, and the furniture you leave gets donated, not dumped.
Three steps, no listing
No sign in the yard. No strangers walking through. No repairs.
Two minutes. Address first, then what is going on with it.
We come out and look. Then we show you the comps and repair numbers behind our offer.
Two weeks or two months, your call. We close at a local title company.
You pick the date.
We hold the date you choose.
Closed, not projected
The city, the number, and how it went.
Code Violations & Open Permits The city had fined this property for years. We took it with the violations attached, worked them down with the municipality, and closed. The seller paid none of it.
Inherited or in Probate We first met this seller a year and a half before she came back to us needing to sell. She had inherited the home from her parents but didn't have the means to get the probate handled, and the property also had open permits and code issues. Our team stepped in, took care of the probate, and resolved every open permit and code problem. Just 45 days after she reached back out to us, we closed the deal. A property she couldn't get any money out of ended up netting her $80,000, and it changed her life.
Read The Full Story →We met the seller at this Miami property shortly after her father passed away. The home had been in her family for a long time, but it also carried $100,000 in code violations. We made her a fair cash offer and worked alongside her probate attorney until the probate was approved. From there, we found a buyer willing to take on the property with the violations still in place. She was able to sell the home without the violations standing in her way, and she was very happy with how everything turned out.
Read The Full Story →This home was inherited by four siblings, two of whom lived out of state, and we worked directly with the personal representative. Our in-house probate team resolved the estate in about 60 days, though it was trickier than usual. The house was in total disrepair with code violations, so we fixed it during probate. Once probate was approved, we sent mobile notaries to North Carolina and Georgia for signatures, while the two Florida heirs signed locally. We then bought the home, taking a massive burden off the family.

Inherited or in Probate This seller's brother had just passed away and left his home to her, filled with a tremendous amount of his belongings. We met her at the property in Fort Lauderdale and gave her a fair cash offer based on the condition the home was in. There were 2 open permits that had to be resolved before we could close, so we took care of the property and got both permits closed out. She was so pleased with the way the entire transaction ran that we were able to do a second deal with her afterward.

Tenants Who Stopped Paying This Miami property came with difficult tenants who simply would not leave. Getting them out required a full eviction, and the process took 10 months in Miami-Dade County. Once the tenants were finally gone, we found the home in total disrepair. Rather than walk away, we took on a full gut remodel and brought the property back to life. When the work was done, we sold it to a first-time homebuyer who wanted to move into the area, turning a problem property into a fresh start for a new owner.
Read The Full Story →This was one of the toughest transactions we've dealt with. The seller's mother had given him this Miami home, and when we walked in, every room was filled floor to ceiling with only a narrow path carved out to walk through. He wasn't ready to sell at first, so we followed up every month for a year and a half. When he was ready, we spent 2 weeks moving items into storage and helping him move into a new place, and we covered his first, last, and security deposit. Then we sold the home so he could move on.

Divorce, Relocation, Downsizing This seller was an older gentleman who had lived in his Sunrise home for many years and simply wanted to move on with his life. The house no longer suited his needs, and he was ready to downsize. We made him a fair cash offer, and since the property needed a little work, we put money into fixing it up. We then used our Equity Protection Program (EPP) to help him get the most out of the property by the end of the transaction. He was thrilled that we helped him move on and get his life reorganized.

Code Violations & Open Permits This seller tried to sell his Hialeah home on his own before he ever called us. He listed it and had it under contract within 10 days, but when the title company pulled the lien and code searches, they uncovered multiple infractions and the sale fell through. A seller we had worked with in the past referred him to us. Within 30 days of his first call, we got him a fair cash offer and closed on the property. He was able to pay off his debts and move forward with his family, and it was an amazing result.

Jessie made the sale of my parents home super easy. It was done fast with no issues and they didn’t have to lift a finger. 10/10 would reccomend !
Total Cash Home Buyers was great to work with. I sold my home in “AS-IS” condition and didn’t pay any closing costs or fees. Great company to work with
We were in a financial situation that required us to sell our house. TCHB worked with us to close quickly and Clarice stayed with us every step of the way. I definitely recommend them.
Total Cash Home Buyers helped my family sell within 35 days and helped us move out of our house as well. Very easy process and would highly recommend working with them to sell as-is.
Brandy made things very easy and clear for my family and we sold our home to him in 30 days. We paid no commissions or closing costs and we are going to sell our rental property to him in 2 months!
Brandy was amazing at helping my family move on from a 50 year old house that was being used a rental property. The process was very easy and we closed in 60 days which was perfect timing for our tenants. I highly recommend working with this company if you want to sell a house as-is.
The part that costs us deals
Three times you should not sell to us.
If it is clean and you have three or four months, list it with an agent. You will most likely net more. That is arithmetic, not modesty.
A cash offer buys speed, certainty and no repairs. It does not buy top dollar. If price is all that matters, we are the wrong call.
Some people call in a hard month and really want to stay. Selling is the wrong tool. Tell us and we get off the phone.
Straight answers
The ones people ask about this, then the ones we get asked most.
You can. It means you run the whole sale: retail on paper and buyers pushing back, repairs yours to do or negotiate, strangers you let in yourself, and you may still owe the buyer's agent. Selling to us is not a listing at all. One walkthrough. Us.
The table above is the honest version of what that costs you: your own pricing, your own showings, your own repair negotiation, and the same financing risk as a listing with nobody managing it. It is a real option, and for some houses it is the right one.
No sign in the yard. No strangers walking through. No repairs. And no commission, no closing costs, no fee for the offer or the walkthrough.
You pick the date. Some sellers want two weeks, others need two months to line up the next place. We hold the date you choose.
Our offer is below retail. That is the trade for no repairs, no commissions and a date you control. What we will not do is quote high, tie you up, then cut the number.
That is one of the main reasons people call us. We buy with the violations and open permits attached and work them with the city ourselves. You clear nothing first.
More On Selling A House With Code Violations →Yes, and it happens constantly. We work alongside the estate's attorney and pay that attorney at closing. Your attorney runs the estate. We are buyers, not lawyers, and we give no legal advice.
More On Selling A House In Probate →Nothing. No commission, no closing costs, no fee for the offer or the walkthrough. What we agree on is what you net. Any lien or payoff shows as a line before you sign.
We buy occupied houses. You do not have to evict anyone for us; after closing that is ours. Tell us the real tenant situation up front so the number holds.
More On Selling A Rental With Tenants →No. Leave what you do not want. Furniture, boxes, the garage, we deal with it, and anything usable gets donated instead of dumped. Take what matters and go.
More On Selling A House Full Of Stuff →One address is all we need
