Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have any obligations when I give you my information?
You are not obligated to work with us at all. It’s completely up to you and anyone else on the title to choose the best option for selling your house.
What closing costs will I need to pay?
Instacash Home can cover escrow costs and title insurance if you choose our services. As the seller, you won’t pay commissions, but you will need to pay taxes. This includes any unpaid property taxes and City and County transfer taxes for the sale.
Do I need to be at the home for you to make an offer?
Nope. As long as you’re the owner, we can offer and buy your property virtually. Just send us detailed pictures or a video so we can check the condition before making a cash offer. If you don’t have photos or a video, we have local field agents who can visit the property with your permission.
What factors are considered when determining the price for my home ?
Our process is based on solid data. First, we look at recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood to figure out your property’s value after repairs. Then, we check out your house’s current condition and note any needed repairs. We do some financial calculations to make sure Fair Trade can still make a profit after buying your property. Once we know the repair costs and future value, we’ll give you a clear cash offer to consider.
What is the average timeline for closing the sale with a cash investor?
Usually, it takes about 14 to 21 days to close a deal with a cash investor. InstaCash Home has bought homes in as little as 3 days when the seller needed a quick sale. We can also wait more than 45 to 60 days if the seller needs more time to move out.
Do I need to get an appraisal or inspection before selling to you?
No, when you sell to an investor, you usually don’t need to pay for inspections or appraisals. The only time you might need one is if your property has serious issues like foundation problems, structural framing issues, or soil/slope issues. InstaCash Home might cover an inspection in those cases, but only after the property is formally in escrow.
Can you assist with a fast sale if I need to move or relocate quickly?
Yes, we can help with a quick sale, but we have to go through the usual steps for title and escrow. If you need to sell fast, make sure you have all the property details ready, like lender and lien info, to provide to the escrow company.
Will I have to pay commission?
You will not pay a commission when you sell your home directly to our company. We are licensed real estate professionals but do not charge a commission on the homes we purchase.
How do you figure out a fair offer for my property?
InstaCash Home uses local market data to find out how much your home would sell for if it were updated and sold to someone using a traditional loan. This amount is the starting point for your cash offer. We then subtract the costs for any needed renovations, holding the property, and resale commissions & closing costs to calculate the cash offer for your home.
What is a cash investor and how is the process different from selling through a real estate agent?
A cash investor buys homes for profit rather than personal use. Unlike selling through a real estate agent, which involves signing a listing agreement, paying commissions, and listing the property on the MLS and showing it to buyers; selling to an investor involves no commissions and no MLS listing.
Is it necessary for me to tidy up the house prior to the closing of escrow?
No. We purchase houses in their current condition, including all personal property. Anything that remains after the escrow process will be our responsibility, saving you the trouble of cleaning out the property. You are welcome to take what you want and leave behind anything you do not wish to deal with, as we will handle it.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to InstaCash Home?
No, InstaCash Home doesn’t charge any fees or commissions. We provide owners with a straightforward cash offer.
Will you buy my property as it is, or do I need to make any repairs or improvements first?
Yes, you can! If you’re facing foreclosure or financial troubles, you can sell your home to InstaCash Home. As long as you’re on the title or have the authority to sell, we can buy it from you. Our team and the escrow companies we work with know how to handle properties in foreclosure, making the process smooth for you.
Can I sell my home if I'm facing foreclosure or if I'm dealing with other financial problems?
Yes, you can! If you’re facing foreclosure or financial troubles, you can sell your home to InstaCash Home. As long as you’re on the title or have the authority to sell, we can buy it from you. Our team and the escrow companies we work with know how to handle properties in foreclosure, making the process smooth for you.
How do you determine your cash offer for my home?
We check what’s happening in your local market and figure out what repairs your property might need to match the other homes in the area. Then, we use a financial calculator to come up with a cash offer price and share it with you.
What fees could a real estate agent charge?
The biggest fee when you list with a realtor is the commission. That amount is not fixed and is negotiable. The total commissions can range anywhere between 4% to 6%. There are also closing costs like escrow fees and title insurance.
Am I obligated to sell if I receive your offer?
No, you don’t have to accept our offer or sell your home if you don’t want to. We hope you’ll choose us, but there’s no obligation.
Do you buy properties everywhere, or do you focus on specific areas?
InstaCash Home exclusively handles homes in Southern California right now.
Do I need to get an appraisal or inspection before selling to you?
No, when you sell to an investor, you usually don’t need to pay for inspections or appraisals. The only time you might need one is if your property has serious issues like foundation problems, structural framing issues, soils/slope issues. InstaCash Home might cover an inspection in those cases, but only after the property is formally in escrow.
Can I choose my own closing date?
Yes! You can pick the closing date that works best for you. InstaCash Home can often meet a seller’s preferred closing date, which is why many choose to sell their home to us.
What should I do if I have already listed my home with a Realtor?
If your home is already listed with a real estate agent, InstaCash Home will talk directly with your agent to make an offer. You must follow the contract you signed with the agent and pay the commission agreed upon in the listing agreement.
What documents do I need to provide for the sale?
You have to show that you own the property. Also, you’ll need to disclose any issues with the property. Upon entering an agreement, you’ll need to give us details about what you owe on the property, including any loans or contracts with solar companies.
When can I expect to receive the cash payment after closing?
You’ll receive your money the following business day after escrow closes.
