Our Process: Simple, Fast, and in Writing
Selling to Trusted Home Buyer takes days, not months, and every step happens on your schedule. Here’s exactly what to expect:
The Timeline
- Day 1: Reach out. Call (203) 437-4488 or send the form with the basics about your property. No preparation needed.
- Day 1–2: One quick walkthrough. We visit once (15–30 minutes). No staging, no cleaning. We’ve seen everything, and condition is exactly what we buy.
- Day 2: Your written offer. A firm number in writing, with the math available on request. Take your time deciding; the offer doesn’t expire the moment we leave.
- Day 7–30: Close on your date. Accept whenever you’re ready and pick the closing date. A licensed local title company handles the money and paperwork; you get cash at closing.
How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
No mystery, no games. Every Trusted Home Buyer offer comes from the same three inputs:
- What your house would sell for fully fixed up, based on real sales of comparable homes in your area (the “after-repair value”).
- Minus the cost of repairs and updates needed to get it there.
- Minus our costs and margin to buy, hold, and resell the property.
That’s it. Ask us to walk you through the math on your house and we will, line by line. It’s also why our offers stick: the number we put in writing is the number you get at closing. No lowball-then-renegotiate games after an “inspection surprise.”
Why Our Offers Don’t Fall Apart
Two things kill traditional sales: buyer financing and inspection renegotiation. We remove both. There’s no lender to satisfy (we pay cash), and because we price the repairs before we make the offer, there’s no “inspection surprise” discount two weeks before closing. The number in writing is the number at the table.
How That Compares to Listing
| Listing with an agent | Trusted Home Buyer | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions | ~6% paid by you | None |
| Closing costs | ~2% paid by you | We pay typical closing costs |
| Repairs & cleaning | Your responsibility | None. We buy as-is |
| Showings | Weeks of them | One walkthrough |
| Financing & appraisal contingencies | Yes, deals fall through | None (cash) |
| Typical time to close | 60–90+ days | 7–14 days |
| Closing date | Buyer’s lender decides | You choose |
Questions Sellers Ask About the Process
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. Trusted Home Buyer charges no commissions or service fees, and we pay typical closing costs. The offer you accept is what you walk away with at closing, minus anything owed on the property (like a mortgage payoff or back taxes).
Will your offer be full market value?
Honestly, no. A cash offer is usually below full retail price. That’s the trade for speed, certainty, zero fees, and zero repairs. We’ll show you exactly how we calculated our number so you can compare it fairly against listing.
Is your offer binding? Am I obligated to anything?
Requesting an offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If you accept, we put it in writing and that number doesn’t change at the closing table. No renegotiation games.
