How does selling a house for cash work?
You tell us about the house, we walk through it once, and you get a written offer with the math shown. If you accept, a licensed title company runs the title, pays off any mortgage, taxes or liens from the sale, and closes on your date. You don't make repairs, clean or pay a commission.

We handle everything.
Selling a house in a hard spot usually means juggling title problems, liens, contractors and paperwork. We take all of it off your plate.
Title and liens
We run the title and clear back taxes, liens and payoffs through the title company at closing.
Paperwork and probate
Purchase agreement, estate paperwork and closing documents, coordinated with your attorney if you have one.
The cleanout
Leave behind whatever you don't want. Clearing the house is our job after closing.
Closing on your schedule
You pick the date, and documents can often be signed remotely if you've moved away.
Talk it over at your kitchen table.
Your offer comes in writing. Show it to your kids, your attorney or an agent, and we'll answer their questions too. Take as long as you need.

The easier way to sell when you're ready
Listing with an agent is the right call for some houses. For a house that needs work, is tied up in taxes or an estate, or has to be sold on a deadline, here's how the two compare.
Listing with an agent
- Weeks to months on the market
- Repairs and cleaning before you list
- Agent commissions, often several percent
- Showings and open houses
- Buyer financing can fall through
Selling to House Rescue Capital
- Close on the date you choose
- Sold as-is: no repairs, no cleaning
- $0 agent commissions
- One walk-through, that's it
- Mortgage, taxes and liens paid off at closing
Is a cash sale right for you?
A cash offer is usually below what a fully repaired house would list for. Most buyers bury that in the fine print. We'd rather you decide with the full picture.
A good fit if…
- The house needs repairs you can't or don't want to fund
- There's a deadline: back taxes, a sheriff sale, a move
- It's inherited, vacant or full of belongings
- There are tenants, liens or title problems
- You want a certain date, not showings and buyer financing
Probably not a fit if…
- The house is move-in ready
- You have months to wait for the highest price
- You're happy to manage repairs, showings and inspections
In that case, listing with a good local agent will likely net you more, and we'll tell you so.
How we calculate your offer
Every cash buyer uses a version of this formula. We put ours in writing, line by line, so you can check it against an agent's estimate.
See a worked example →What it sells for fixed − repairs − holding & selling costs − our margin = your offer

Straight answers
How is your cash offer calculated?
We start with what similar houses nearby sell for after renovation, subtract the repairs your house needs and our costs to own and resell it, and leave a margin. We show you each line in writing so you can check it.
Is a cash offer lower than listing with an agent?
Usually, yes. Listing a house in good shape with an agent typically brings the highest price. A cash sale trades some price for no repairs, no commissions, no showings and a closing date you pick. If listing fits you better, we'll tell you.
Do you buy houses in any condition?
Yes. Houses that need major work are our focus, including fire and water damage, foundation problems, code violations and hoarder houses.
Where do you buy houses?
In Detroit and across Wayne County, Michigan, and in Ohio.
Is House Rescue Capital legit?
Here's how to check any cash buyer, including us: the offer should be in writing, a licensed title company (not the buyer) should handle the closing and the money, you should never pay the buyer an upfront fee, and the company should be registered with the state. We meet every one of those.
Who handles the money at closing?
A licensed, independent title company. It runs the title search, pays off any mortgage, back taxes and liens from the sale, and sends you the rest. You see every line on the settlement statement before you sign.
Am I obligated after I get an offer?
No. Every offer is in writing. Take your time, show it to anyone you trust, and say no if it isn't right.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Start with your address. In about two minutes you'll have a request in for a written cash offer, with no repairs, no pressure and no obligation.
