How we review cash buyers
Our independent reviews break down the top US cash buyers and iBuyers. We read the real contract terms, flag hidden fees and check public track records, so you can protect your home equity before you sign anything.
1. Read the paperwork
We start with each company’s published terms, fee pages and sample contracts, not with its marketing.
2. Verify with public sources
We cross-check against the FTC, CFPB, Better Business Bureau and state agencies, and separate what a company claims from what we can verify.
3. Show the trade-offs
We explain net proceeds, timelines, fees and the contract clauses that can change what you actually get paid.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cash Home Hub buy houses directly or represent specific investors?
No. We do not buy houses, we are not licensed real estate brokers or attorneys, and we do not generate leads for specific buyers. Cash Home Hub is an independent educational publisher. Read our editorial policy.
How much do cash home buyers typically pay?
Many investors price offers with the "70% rule": 70% of the home’s after-repair value (ARV), minus estimated repair costs. Offers are usually below retail value, in exchange for speed, certainty and no repairs. See how the numbers compare in cash offer vs. traditional listing.
What are the biggest red flags of a cash buyer scam?
Three common warning signs are: 1) refusing to provide a verifiable proof-of-funds letter, 2) using aggressive assignment clauses to tie up your title, and 3) cutting the offer price at the last minute, near closing. Learn more in how to spot cash home buyer scams.
Can I sell a house for cash if it is in probate or has liens?
Often yes. Many investors buy inherited, probate and distressed homes as-is, but liens and other title problems still have to be resolved at closing, usually from the sale proceeds. A real estate or probate attorney can confirm what applies in your state. See selling with code violations or liens.
Are there hidden fees or closing costs when selling to a cash buyer?
It depends on the contract. Many cash buyers cover standard closing costs and charge no agent commission, but some deduct fees, assignment fees or repair credits from the offer, and terms can change before closing. Compare your net proceeds and read the agreement line by line. See who pays closing costs.
What is the difference between an iBuyer and a "We Buy Houses" company?
iBuyers such as Opendoor and Offerpad use pricing algorithms and generally target homes in good condition for a service fee. "We Buy Houses" companies are usually local investors or licensed brand networks that buy distressed homes at deeper discounts to renovate or resell. Compare them in our company reviews.
