Selling Your House for Cash in Las Vegas

How do cash home buyers work in Las Vegas?

We buy your house directly — no bank financing, no agent, no listing. No commissions, no repair requirements, no surprise fees. The whole process is three steps and usually closes in 7 days.

The three-step process

  1. Tell us about the property. Fill out the form or call (702) 213-9800 — takes about 2 minutes.
  2. We walk the house and bring you a cash offer. No-obligation, usually within 24 hours of seeing the property.
  3. You pick the closing date. Fast track in 7 days or 60 days out — your call. We pay all closing costs, and you walk away with cash in hand at a local title company.

How fast can I sell my house in Las Vegas for cash?

As fast as 7 days — sometimes 48 hours if there's no mortgage or HOA to clear. Compare that to a traditional listing here, which averages 60-90 days and longer if the buyer's financing falls through. With us there's no appraisal, no inspection contingency, no waiting on a lender. We handle the paperwork and pay all closing costs. You pick the date — fast track or 30-60 days out if you need time to move.

Do you buy houses in any condition in Las Vegas?

Yes — and we mean any. Fire damage, code violations, hoarder houses, dated kitchens, bad roofs, foundation issues, unpermitted additions, you name it. We buy as-is across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and the rest of the valley. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging required. Whatever shape the house is in, we handle it after closing.

Will I get a fair price if I sell my house fast in Las Vegas?

Our offers are based on real numbers — recent neighborhood sales, the home's after-repair value, and the actual cost of work it needs. A cash offer is usually below full retail, but the honest comparison is *net* dollars, not headline price.

What a traditional sale actually nets

Most sellers focus on the agent's headline price and forget what gets pulled out before the wire hits their account:

  • Agent commission: 5-6% of sale price
  • Seller-side closing costs: 1-2%
  • Buyer concessions (common in this market): 1-3%
  • Post-inspection repair credits: $3,000–$15,000+ on a livable home
  • Holding costs while it sits: 3-4 months of mortgage, HOA, insurance, utilities

After all that, many Vegas sellers actually net more on a cash sale than a listing — especially on homes that need work or when time is tight.

Can I sell my Las Vegas house if I still have a mortgage?

Yes — and this is the most common situation we deal with. Your mortgage doesn't disappear when we make an offer; it gets paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds. The title company pulls a payoff statement from your lender, deducts it from the purchase price, and wires you whatever's left over. If your loan balance is higher than our offer (an underwater mortgage), call (702) 213-9800 — there are short-sale options we can walk you through with your lender so you can still exit the property without owing the bank money.

What percentage of market value do cash buyers pay in Las Vegas?

Most local Las Vegas cash buyers, us included, land in the 70-85% of after-repair market value range — net to you, with no fees deducted. The exact number depends on the home's condition, the repair budget, and current resale demand in your neighborhood. National iBuyers like Opendoor show a higher headline number (closer to 90-95%) but then deduct a 5% service fee, full seller closing costs, and a condition adjustment after their inspection — which usually brings their net within a few thousand dollars of a local cash offer. The number that actually matters is what hits your bank account at closing, not the headline.

Our Process & What to Expect

Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to you?

Zero. No commissions, no closing costs, no junk fees, no "service charges." We cover the title work, escrow, transfer taxes, recording — all of it. A traditional sale typically pulls 8-10% out of the seller in commissions and closing alone, before you factor in repairs and concessions. The number on our offer is the number that hits your account at closing.

Do I need to clean or move out before selling?

Nope. Take what you want, leave the rest — we mean that literally. Furniture, belongings, trash, the half-finished garage project — all of it. We handle cleanup after closing. This is the easiest path for inherited houses, hoarder situations, or when you're moving out of state and don't have time for a proper move-out.

What happens after I accept the cash offer?

We open escrow with a local title company — they handle the title search, payoffs, and recording. You sign the documents (mobile notary if you're out of state), and the title company wires your funds or hands you a cashier's check at closing. Most sales close in 7-14 days, but if you need more time we work around your schedule. We've done this 2,000+ times in Vegas since 2016.

Situations We Help With in Las Vegas

Can you help me avoid foreclosure in Las Vegas?

Yes — but the clock matters. If you've fallen behind or already received a Notice of Default, a cash sale can close fast enough to pay off your mortgage before the trustee sale date and protect any equity you have left. We've helped hundreds of Vegas homeowners stop foreclosure this way. The earlier you call, the more options you have. If you're staring down a trustee sale, call (702) 213-9800 today — even 48-hour closes are possible when the deal's clean.

Do you buy houses going through divorce in Las Vegas?

Yes — and we do these a lot. Nevada's community property rules can make a divorce house sale complicated, especially if one spouse wants out fast. We give both sides one number, close on your timeline, and each party gets their share without months of agent showings and back-and-forth offers. We work directly with your attorneys when needed to keep things moving without taking sides.

Can I sell an inherited house in Las Vegas for cash?

Absolutely — whether probate is finished, still in process, or hasn't been opened yet. Most inherited Vegas houses come with at least one complication: deferred maintenance, an old tenant, contents nobody wants to deal with, heirs in three different states. We buy as-is, handle the cleanup, and coordinate directly with your estate attorney or the personal representative. If you don't have a probate attorney yet, we can refer one we've worked with.

Can I sell my Las Vegas house from another state?

Yes — you don't have to fly in. We walk the property ourselves, send you a cash offer, and the title company handles closing remotely using either a mobile notary or remote online notarization (RON is allowed in Nevada). Your proceeds get wired straight to your bank. We do this constantly for inherited houses, former rentals, owners who relocated for work, and military families with PCS orders. Call (702) 213-9800 and we'll walk you through what to expect.

Can I sell my Las Vegas house for cash if I am in bankruptcy?

Yes — but it has to go through the court. In Chapter 7, the trustee has authority over the property and we coordinate the sale with them. In Chapter 13, you file a motion to sell and we close once the judge signs off. We've closed bankruptcy sales in 3-4 weeks once court approval lands. A cash sale often helps homeowners pay off creditors, exit a Chapter 13 early, or stop a foreclosure that's running parallel to the bankruptcy. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney first — and if you don't have one, call (702) 213-9800 and we'll point you to local attorneys we've worked with.

Can I sell a Las Vegas house that is currently in probate?

Yes. We buy probate properties across the valley and work directly with your probate attorney and Clark County probate court. The timeline depends on the administration type — full authority, limited authority, or summary admin for smaller estates — but typically runs a few weeks to a few months once the personal representative is authorized to sell. We can lock in the price up front and close as soon as court approval comes through; proceeds go straight to the estate. If probate hasn't been opened yet, call (702) 213-9800 and we'll recommend a local probate attorney.

Can I sell my Las Vegas house if I have tenants living in it?

Yes — and you don't have to evict anyone. We buy tenant-occupied houses constantly. We'll just need a copy of the lease, the current rent, and the security deposit balance. If the tenants are on a fixed-term lease, it transfers with the property and we become the new landlord. If they're month-to-month, we can keep them or serve proper Nevada notice after closing — your call. No agent showings, no parade of strangers through their home — just one inspection visit coordinated through the tenant. It's the cleanest way for a landlord to exit a rental without losing months of rent to a traditional listing.

Check our reviews, call (702) 213-9800, or just come down — we'll show you who we are.

Are you the actual buyer, or are you wholesaling my house?

We're the buyer. Our funds, our name on the deed, our renovation crew. We're not wholesalers — those are the people who put your house under contract just to flip the contract to another investor before closing. Wholesalers can be a problem because if their backup buyer falls through, the deal collapses and you've wasted weeks. With us, the deal closes because we are the end buyer. If you've worked with anyone in the "we buy houses" space before and felt like they were shopping your address around to other investors — that was wholesaling. The right question to ask any cash buyer: "Are you the buyer or a wholesaler?" The answer should be "buyer," and they should be willing to show you proof of funds on demand.

Can you show proof of funds before I sign?

Yes — and you should ask every cash buyer for this. We'll provide a proof-of-funds letter from our bank within a day of making the offer. The letter shows we have the full purchase price available in cash, ready to wire to the title company. Real cash buyers don't have to scramble to prove they can close. If a buyer hesitates, sends you a screenshot instead of a bank letter, or asks you to sign before showing funds — that's a wholesaler or someone shopping for an end buyer with your house under contract. Walk away.

How is selling to cash home buyers different from listing with a realtor?

Two completely different paths — and what you actually walk away with depends on a lot more than the headline price.

Side-by-side: listing with an agent vs. selling to us
FactorList with an agentSell to us
Time to close60–90 days7–14 days
Commission5–6%0%
Seller closing costsYou pay (~1–2%)We pay
Repair credits after inspectionTypical ($3K–$15K)None
Showings / strangers in homeYesNone
Risk of deal falling throughYes (financing)None
Headline price~100% of market70–85% of market

The tradeoff is real: our headline number is lower. But it's the net you walk away with — no commissions, no closing costs, no repair credits, no months of mortgage payments while the house sits. After all the deductions a traditional sale takes, sellers with any condition issues or time pressure often net more on the cash route than on the MLS.
