How Do I Get a Cash Offer for My House?
Hey guys, I’m Brad, owner of Arbor View Home Buyers. I also own SellFastGeorgia.com, ProbateResource.com, and GeorgiaMobileHomeBuyers.com.
I’ve been a real estate investor for over ten years and a licensed Georgia real estate agent since 2017. I’ve helped hundreds of homeowners sell their houses quickly and easily for cash.
Today, I want to talk about how to get a cash offer for your house.
These days, most people start online—searching Google, ChatGPT, or other AI tools to find the best way to sell fast and who to trust. Maybe you’re looking for a quick, easy sale and don’t want to deal with listing your home the traditional way.
Let me be straight with you: if your goal is to get the most money possible, you’ll always do better listing with a real estate agent. That’s just the truth. But if you want a fast, as-is sale and to skip showings, repairs, or waiting on buyers, then selling to an investor for cash might be your best option.
Not All Cash Offers Are the Same
I’ve been in this business a long time, and I’ve seen all kinds of buyers come and go. Some are great. Others—not so much. When you Google “cash offer for my house,” you’ll see a ton of results, including me. But here’s what most people don’t realize:
not everyone offering to buy your house for cash actually has the cash.
A lot of these companies are wholesalers—they don’t buy homes themselves. They put properties under contract, then try to sell those contracts to other investors. If they can’t find a buyer, they often cancel the deal and leave homeowners hanging.
That’s why you should research anyone you plan to work with.
Go to the Georgia Secretary of State website and search for the company’s LLC name (you can usually find it at the bottom of their website). Then, check the deed records to see if they’ve actually purchased properties before. If nothing comes up, they’re likely just middlemen running ads to find leads.
How We Do It Differently
We sometimes wholesale homes too—but here’s the difference: when I make you an offer, I stand by it.
If I offer you $190,000 for your house, we sign a contract, and that’s the amount I’m paying you at closing. Whether I decide to keep the property or sell it to another investor later, I close on the date we agreed and pay exactly what I promised.
That way, you’re never left wondering if your buyer will back out. You get certainty, and we get to keep our word—something that’s rare in this business.
Do Your Homework
Before you accept any offer, read the reviews. Check the Better Business Bureau, look for real video testimonials, and see what past sellers have said. We have tons of testimonial videos, and that’s just a small portion of the people we’ve helped—some folks just don’t want to be on camera, and that’s fine.
Make sure you’re dealing with a reputable company that gives honest numbers and doesn’t play games.
Be Careful with Phone or Online Offers
Don’t take an offer over the phone as final. Big companies like OfferPad and Opendoor make online offers, but those numbers almost always change once they see your home in person.
Many smaller investors do the same thing—give a high number to lock you in, then ask for a price reduction later. We don’t do that.
At Arbor View Home Buyers, we have a “One Price Guarantee.”
If we say we’re buying your home for $190,000, that’s exactly what you’ll get. If we miscalculated, that’s on us, not you.
