Selling Your House to Houses for Cash Baltimore

Selling to Houses for Cash Baltimore takes four steps. Tell us about your property online or at (410) 989-5200. If it fits our buying criteria, we set up a quick appointment. We make a no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 hours. If you accept, you close at a local title company on the date you choose, in as few as 7 days.

We buy houses directly for cash. Houses for Cash Baltimore is not a real estate agent, and we do not list your home on the MLS. We make a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours, buy the house as-is with no repairs or showings, and can close in as few as 7 days.

We can close in as few as 7 days. We work on your schedule, so you choose the closing date. If you need more time to move, we can set closing for a later date that suits you.

Yes. We buy houses in any condition, so you don’t need to make repairs, clean, or stage the house. We handle repairs after closing, and you can leave behind any belongings you don’t want.

We buy houses throughout the Baltimore area, including Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Harford County, Howard County, and Prince George’s County. That includes Annapolis, Bel Air, Catonsville, Dundalk, Ellicott City, Essex, Glen Burnie, Middle River, Pasadena, Perry Hall, Pikesville, and Towson. You don’t need to live in Maryland to sell to us; we have bought homes from out-of-state owners.

Houses for Cash Baltimore is a family-owned local company at 9652 Belair Rd in Nottingham, MD. We have been buying homes in the Baltimore area since 2005, our founder Joe Hartman has over 30 years of real estate experience, and we hold a BBB A+ rating. We make a cash offer within 24 hours and show you how it compares with listing through an agent, so you can choose the option that works best for you. If selling to us isn’t your best option, we’ll tell you.

Your Cash Offer and Costs

No. Our offers are based on current market value minus repair costs and our margin. We’re transparent about how we calculate it, and we walk you through the numbers before you decide. The offer is free, and you are never obligated to accept it.

We look at after-repair value, estimated cost of repairs, and a fair profit margin. The after-repair value is what your home would sell for once updated, based on recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood. We subtract the repairs the house needs and our margin, and we’ll walk you through the math.

None. Houses for Cash Baltimore pays all closing costs, and you pay no commissions, fees, or repair costs. You don’t need to clean, stage, or show the house. When you list with an agent, you typically pay up to 6% in commissions plus about 2% in closing costs, and you handle repairs requested after the inspection. See how a direct sale compares to listing.

Tenants, Liens, and Closing

We can still buy. We’ve worked through tenanted properties, tax liens, code violations, probate, foreclosure, and title issues. We buy rentals with tenants in place, so you don’t need to wait for a lease to end, and we review the lease and security deposits with you before closing. Liens are cleared at closing through the title company, so you don’t pay anything out of pocket.

Closing takes place at a local title company. You sign documents, we fund the purchase, and you walk away with your money at closing. We cover all closing costs, and you pay no commissions or fees. You can leave behind any belongings you don’t want.

All we need is your name, email, phone number, and the property address. We research the property and recent sales nearby, then contact you to set up a quick appointment. We make a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you pick the closing date. If you don’t, there is no pressure and no cost. Get your cash offer.
