"I Need to Sell My House." Start Here.

To sell your house, you have three real options: list with an agent (highest gross price, minus a 5-6% commission, repairs, and 60-90+ days), sell it yourself, or sell directly to a cash buyer, as-is and fee-free, with a written offer in about 24 hours and a closing in as little as 2-3 weeks. The right path depends on your home's condition, your timeline, and how much of the work you want on your own plate.

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.
