What Happens When You Ask for a Cash Offer
Getting a cash offer on your house should be simple and honest, wherever the house is. Here is exactly how it works with Clear Path House Buyer.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the form or call (888) 828-3586. We ask about the condition, who lives there, what you owe, and what you need the sale to do for you.
A quick look at the property
A local contact or agent looks at the house, along with any photos you can send. No cleaning or staging needed.
Your options, with real numbers
You get a cash offer, and when it makes sense, a Retail Buyer Program estimate too. We explain the pros and cons of each, with no pressure.
Close on your date
Sign with a local title company, a mobile notary, or online. Take what you want and leave the rest.
How We Come Up With Your Cash Offer
A lot of sellers have been burned by offers that look good on the first call and then drop at the last minute. We would rather show you the math up front.
- Recent sales near you. What similar houses, in similar condition, have actually sold for in your area.
- The repairs the house needs. Foundation, plumbing, roof, an unfinished remodel. We price the work in so you never pay for it.
- The cost of selling it again. Closing costs and the time it takes to resell or rent the house.
Then we give you a number and walk you through how we got there, comparable sales included. If the cash number does not get you where you need to be, we will say so and show you the other option.
Cash Offer or Retail Buyer Program?
A cash offer is not the only way to sell as-is. Here are the two options we give every seller.
Cash offer
An investor buyer takes the house as-is. No repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no commission, and we cover normal closing costs. You choose the closing date.
Retail Buyer Program
When the open market may pay more, a licensed local agent lists your house as-is and we coordinate the sale through closing. It takes longer than cash, and we go over every cost with you before you sign.

Why Sellers Choose Clear Path House Buyer
Two options, explained honestly
Cash or the Retail Buyer Program, with the pros and cons of each, so you can see which leaves you better off.
Constant communication
“We talked at least once or twice a day.” That’s Geeta in Danville, Pennsylvania, describing her sale with us.
Local people in your market
We work with licensed local agents and buyers where your house is, so the house gets seen fast.
Close from anywhere
Mobile notary or online closings mean you don’t have to travel back to the house.
Selling for Cash: What to Know
As-is still means honest
Most states require sellers to fill out a disclosure form about the condition of the house, even in an as-is sale. Share what you know up front and the sale goes smoother.
Homes built before 1978
Federal law requires a lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, in every state. The title company includes it with your closing paperwork.

Cash Offer FAQs
How do you come up with your cash offer?
We look at what similar houses near yours, in similar condition, have actually sold for. Then we account for the repairs the house needs and the costs of selling it again. We walk you through those numbers so you can see exactly how we got there.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. Asking for an offer costs nothing, and you decide what to do with it. If neither of our options fits, we will tell you honestly and point you toward someone who can help.
How fast can you close?
On a cash sale, you pick the date. Branden’s tenant-occupied house in Veneta, Oregon sold off market to a cash buyer. If you need more time to move, we can plan for that too.
Are there fees or commissions?
There is no commission on a cash sale, and we cover the normal closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, any liens, and prorated taxes come out at closing, the same as any sale.
Do I need to fix or clean the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is. Ron and Katie in Streator, Illinois sold a house with major foundation and plumbing problems without making a single repair.
What if the cash offer is not enough?
Ask about our Retail Buyer Program. A licensed local agent lists your house as-is on the open market, and we coordinate the sale through closing. It takes longer than a cash sale, and we go over every cost with you before you sign.
Can I sell if there are back taxes or liens?
Often, yes. Beth’s very rough house in Wenona, Illinois had back tax liens, and they were paid from the sale at closing.
Do I have to travel to close?
No. Sellers can close with a mobile notary or online. Kevin closed on his Illinois house online from Florida.
