Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that selling your home is a big decision, and you likely have questions. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we receive. If you have additional queries, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Your peace of mind is our priority.
Q: Do you list houses on the MLS or are you buying them directly?
A: Excellent question. At Cash 4 Houses LLC, we are not real estate agents; we are professional home buyers. We buy houses directly from homeowners in Union County, Middlesex County, and other major cities in New Jersey (see the complete list of areas on this page: Areas We Serve). We use our own cash, eliminating the need for bank financing and ensuring a quick, hassle-free closing process. After buying, we may either renovate and resell the property or keep it as a rental.
Q: What sets you apart from traditional real estate agents?
A: Traditional real estate agents list properties and wait for buyers, often taking months to close a deal. They also charge a commission, which can be up to 6% of the sale price. On an average New Jersey house worth $400,000 that can be $24,000! We operate differently. We buy your house in New Jersey directly, often within days, and at no commission cost to you. We assume all the risks, from buying to renovating and reselling the property, offering you a stress-free solution.

Q: Do you offer fair prices for the properties you buy?
A: Absolutely. While we do buy houses below market value to eventually resell at a profit, we aim for a win-win situation. Many homeowners find value in our ability to pay cash and close quickly, without requiring any repairs or charging any fees. Our no-obligation offer allows you to decide what’s best for you without any pressure. If that sounds like what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Q: How do you calculate the offer price for my property?
A: Transparency is key for us. We consider various factors like the property’s location, its current condition, required repairs, and recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area. Based on these, we arrive at a fair offer that benefits both parties. Remember: we are looking for a win-win deal!
Q: Are there any hidden fees or commissions?
A: No, there are absolutely no hidden fees or commissions when you sell your home to us. Unlike traditional methods, we will cover the closing costs, and you get to keep the full amount of our offer. We make our profit by taking on the risk of repairing and reselling the property. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
Q: Am I obligated to accept your offer?
A: There is zero obligation on your part. After evaluating your property and discussing the details with you, we’ll make a fair, all-cash offer. The decision to proceed is entirely yours, and we respect whatever choice you make.
Q: What types of properties do you buy?
A: We buy all types of residential properties, including single-family homes, multi-family homes, condos, and even vacant lots. Whether your property is in pristine condition or needs extensive repairs, we’re interested in making you an offer.
Q: How quickly can you close the deal?
A: Our ability to pay cash allows us to close deals extremely quickly. In some cases, we can close in as little as 7 days. See our blog post on this very subject: “What is the quickest you can sell a house?” The exact timeline will depend on your specific circumstances and needs. We are happy to discuss this with you prior to any contract being signed so that we have a win-win deal!
Q: What if my house needs extensive repairs?
A: No worries! We buy houses in “as-is” condition, meaning you don’t have to spend time or money on repairs. We’ll assess the property and include the cost of repairs in our offer.
Q: Do I need to clean out the property before selling?
A: No, you don’t need to clean or remove unwanted items from the property. We’ll handle that for you, allowing you to focus on your next steps.
Q: Is my information confidential?
A: Absolutely. We take privacy very seriously and ensure that all your information is kept confidential throughout the process.
Q: What are the benefits of selling to a cash buyer like Cash 4 Houses LLC?
A: Selling to a cash buyer offers several advantages, including a faster closing process, no need for repairs, and no commissions or hidden fees. It’s a straightforward, hassle-free way to sell your property.
