"I Need to Sell My House." Start Here.
Every seller gets here down a different road, an inheritance, a foreclosure notice, a tenant nightmare, a job across the country, or just a house that needs more than you want to give it. Pick your situation, or read on for the honest overview.
You'll work directly with Eric and Carson, the owners, not a call center.
Your Three Real Options
However you got here, selling a house comes down to three paths:
List with an agent
Highest typical gross price. Costs 5–6% commission plus repairs, prep, showings, and 60–90+ days. The right choice for market-ready homes on flexible timelines.
Sell it yourself (FSBO)
Saves the listing commission, but you handle pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation, and paperwork, and FSBO homes statistically sell for less, which often erases the savings.
Sell directly to a cash buyer
Below retail price, but as-is, fee-free, and done in weeks with certainty. The right choice when condition, speed, or life circumstances make the first two paths painful.
We're option three, and we're upfront that option three isn't always the answer. Our comparison guide puts real numbers to the trade-offs, and our calculator estimates your net either way.
Find Your Situation
- Inherited a house: probate, multiple heirs, a home full of belongings, often from out of state
- Behind on payments or facing foreclosure: timelines, all your options, and protecting your equity
- Done being a landlord: selling with tenants in place, even difficult ones
- House needs repairs: fire, water, foundation, or decades of deferred maintenance
- Vacant property: stop the carrying costs, sell without traveling back
- Just want it simple: as-is, no showings, no strangers, no repairs
- On a deadline: relocation, divorce, or any clock that a 90-day listing can't meet
One Exception: Michigan
EZ Time doesn't buy houses in Michigan; it sits outside our footprint. Rather than send Michigan sellers away empty-handed, we built an honest, evidence-based guide to Michigan's top cash home buyers and investors, ranked with the same transparency standards we hold ourselves to everywhere we do operate.
What Happens When You Contact Us
No scripts, no pressure, no obligation. We ask about the house and your goals, do our research, and give you a written cash offer with the math shown, ARV, repairs, our margin. Then you decide. Plenty of people take our offer to their agent, attorney, or family and think it over; that's exactly how it should work. The whole process is laid out on How It Works.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to list my house or sell for cash?
Rough rule: if the house is market-ready and you can wait 2–3 months, listing usually nets more. If the house needs real work, the timeline is short, or the logistics (tenants, probate, distance) are heavy, a direct sale's certainty often wins after all costs. Get both numbers, an agent's net sheet and our written offer, and compare them side by side. Both are free.
Does contacting you commit me to anything?
No. An offer request is a conversation, not a contract. You'll get a written no-obligation offer, and roughly a third of sellers we talk to end up choosing a different path, usually with a clearer picture than they started with.
What information do you need from me to start?
Just the property address and whatever you can tell us about condition and timing. You don't need documents, photos, or exact answers to begin, the form takes about two minutes.
