How It Works
We've simplified the home selling process to make it stress-free for
you. Here's how to get cash for your house in 3 easy steps.
Step 1 – Tell Us About Your Property
Start by filling out our short form or call/text us at 319-774-1630.
We’ll ask a few quick questions about:
- Your property’s condition
- Your timeline
- Your selling goals
There’s no obligation and no pressure — just an easy way to get started.
Step 2 – Receive a Fair, No-Obligation Cash Offer
Once we review your information, we’ll provide a clear cash offer within 24 hours. Our offer is based on current condition, local comps, and repair costs.
How We Calculate Your Offer:
- After Repair Value (ARV): What it sells for fully renovated.
- Estimated Repairs: Cost to fix the property (we pay this).
- Holding & Selling Costs: Title, insurance, resale costs.
- Modest Profit Margin: To keep our local business running
Unlike others, we explain the numbers line by line.
Step 3 – Close on Your Timeline
You choose the closing date. We handle the title work, paperwork, and coordination. Many sellers close in as little as 7 days, or choose a later date.
