- Close in 7 to 21 Days
Free call, no obligation. If a cash sale isn't your best move, we'll say so.
Needing to Sell Fast Usually Means Something Else Is Going On
Nobody daydreams about selling their house to an investor in three weeks. The people who call this line are usually carrying something heavy: a foreclosure letter, an inherited house two states away, a divorce that needs closure, a rental gone bad. Sometimes it's simpler than that. The repair list outgrew the budget years ago, and the house stopped feeling like an asset.
Maria Mercedes Home Solutions is a free matching service built for exactly that moment. You call, and a real person listens before anything gets pitched. Then we introduce you to a cash buyer from a network we vet ourselves. Every investor in it has shown proof of funds and closed real purchases, and none of them get to play the contract games this industry is known for.
We'll also tell you something most cash-offer sites won't: a cash sale is not always your best move. It's a trade. You give up some price to gain speed and certainty. On the phone we'll put that trade in dollars. And if listing with an agent would net you more, we'll say so before you've spent a dime.
Seven Situations, Each With Its Own Playbook
Each page below goes deep on one situation, with dollar figures and the questions we'd ask if we were in your shoes. Start wherever your story matches.
Sell Your House As-Is
No contractor quotes, no dumpster rental. The buyer prices the repairs into the offer and takes the house exactly as it stands, bad roof included.
How as-is sales workSell an Inherited House
A parent's house three states away is a lot to carry. We'll help you sort the probate questions from the practical ones, then match you with a patient buyer.
Selling an inherited homeStop Foreclosure by Selling
If an auction date is on the calendar, selling fast can save the equity you've built. And when a loan modification is the smarter play, we'll say that instead.
Options before the auctionSell a House During Divorce
A neutral cash sale turns the house into money that splits cleanly, without months of showings while two people share a mortgage neither wants.
A clean, fast splitSell a Rental With Tenants
Done being a landlord? Investors in this network buy tenant-occupied rentals with the lease in place, so nobody has to be pushed out first.
Selling with tenants in placeSell a Fire Damaged House
Most agents won't list a burned house. Fire buyers weigh lot value against rebuild cost and can make a real offer, sometimes before the insurance claim wraps.
What fire buyers paySell a House in Probate
Court timelines don't have to kill a sale. We match executors with buyers who understand letters of administration and will wait for the paperwork to catch up.
Probate sales, explainedThree Steps From First Call to Closing Table
1. Call and describe the property
Tell us where the house is and what shape it's in. Rough is fine, honest is better. The call takes about ten minutes, and you'll talk to a person who handles these situations all day.
2. Get matched, get an offer
We introduce you to a vetted cash buyer who puts an offer in writing, typically 70 to 85 percent of the home's fixed-up value minus repair costs. We say that plainly because you deserve to compare it against listing before signing anything.
3. Close on your timeline
Pick the date. Most sellers close in 7 to 21 days, and a licensed title or escrow company holds the money. Need six weeks to clear out a lifetime of belongings? Buyers in this network can wait.

Cash Offer vs Listing: What You'd Actually Net
Cash buyers pay less than the open market. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. The real question is how much less, and what you get back for the difference. Here's the side-by-side.
| Factor | Cash sale (our network) | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | Typically 70 to 85% of fixed-up value, minus repair costs | Full market value, or close to it after an as-is discount |
| Fees and commissions | $0 to you | 5 to 6% commission plus 1 to 2% in seller closing costs |
| Repairs and prep | None. The buyer takes it as-is | Inspection repairs often run $5,000 to $15,000, plus cleanup and staging |
| Timeline | 7 to 21 days from signed contract | 45 to 75 days including the buyer's loan approval |
| Certainty | High. Cash purchase, no financing contingency | Roughly 1 in 20 contracts falls through |
A worked example, in real dollars
Say your house would be worth $200,000 renovated, and it needs about $30,000 of work. A typical cash buyer starts at 75 percent of that $200,000, which is $150,000, then subtracts the $30,000 in repairs. That's an offer around $120,000 with no commission taken out, and it can close in two or three weeks.
Now the listing path. As-is on the open market, the same house might bring $155,000. Subtract a 5.5 percent commission ($8,525), about $3,000 in seller closing costs, $2,500 in concessions after the inspection, and roughly $4,500 in carrying costs over three months of waiting. You'd net near $136,000 in 60 to 90 days, assuming the buyer's loan survives underwriting.
That's a $16,000 gap in favor of listing, and yes, we just published that on our own homepage. Cash earns its keep when the picture changes. Maybe the house needs work no lender will finance. Maybe a foreclosure date makes 90 days impossible. Maybe a vacant house is costing you $1,800 every month it sits. Speed and certainty are worth real dollars in those spots, and only you can decide how many.
When listing is the better move
If the house is in good shape and you're not in a hurry, list it with an agent. You'll usually walk away with more, sometimes tens of thousands more, even after commissions and a couple months of patience. Make the cash trade when you need what it buys, not because a postcard in your mailbox told you to. Tell us your situation on the phone, and if listing serves you better, that's exactly what we'll recommend.

How We Get Paid
Short version: the investors pay us. You don't. When an introduction we make turns into a purchase, the buying side pays us a referral fee, the same way a contractor pays a lead service. We're not a real estate brokerage and we don't represent either side in the transaction.
Calling costs nothing and creates no obligation. You can accept an offer or ignore it completely, and plenty of callers just want a number to hold up against listing. That's fine with us. The fee never comes out of your proceeds, and buyers in this network know we drop anyone who tries to make it up by lowballing sellers.

Questions Sellers Ask Us Every Week
How fast can I really sell my house for cash?
Most sellers who accept an offer through our network close in 7 to 21 days. The speed comes from cash. There's no lender approval to wait on and no financing contingency to fall through. Title work usually sets the pace, so a house with clean title can close in about a week, while probate paperwork or an old lien can add two to four weeks. On your first call we'll give you a realistic window for your specific situation, not a number picked to get you excited.
What do I pay for this service?
Nothing. You don't pay to call and you don't pay for the introduction. The investors in our network pay us a referral fee when a match leads to a purchase, the same way lead services work in other trades. That fee comes from the buyer's side, not your sale proceeds. If you accept an offer, the price you agree to is what you walk away with at closing, and most buyers in this network also cover standard closing costs. If you pass on every offer, you owe nothing and nobody hounds you.
Is the cash offer negotiable?
Somewhat, and it helps to know how the number gets built. Cash buyers work from a formula: typically 70 to 85 percent of what your house would be worth fully fixed up, minus their estimate of repair costs. The formula itself rarely moves, but the inputs can. If you have recent comparable sales or receipts for work already done, share them, because they can shrink the repair estimate and raise the offer. What a serious buyer won't do is pay full retail. If someone promises that with no conditions, slow down and check their proof of funds.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. As-is means exactly that. Buyers in this network regularly purchase houses with failed roofs or foundation problems, and most will tell you to leave behind whatever you don't want, furniture included. Take your personal papers and the things that matter to you. The renovation crew handles the rest. One honest note, though: condition still affects price. The offer already has the cost of that roof subtracted from it, so you're not paying for repairs again at closing, but a house needing $40,000 of work will get a lower offer than one needing $10,000.
Is this legit, and how does the referral part work?
Fair question, because this industry has genuine bad actors. Here's our whole model. We're a free matching service, not a brokerage and not the buyer. When you call, we take down the basics of your property and introduce you to a cash buyer we've vetted for proof of funds and an actual track record of closed purchases. The buyer makes the offer and you decide. A licensed title or escrow company handles the closing and holds the money, never us. We're paid by the buyer's side. If anyone pressures you to sign the same day, walk away and call us back.
