Sell
Sell for Cash, As-Is
Skip repairs, agents, and showings. Pick your closing date. Trade some price for speed and certainty.
Best for
- ✓You need certainty and speed over top-of-market price
- ✓Property has condition issues (repairs, hoarder, fire/water damage)
- ✓Title is messy (heirship, lien, divorce) and a retail buyer would walk
Watch-outs
- !Cash offers vary 15–25% across investors — get more than one
- !Some 'cash buyers' are wholesalers who'll re-trade you mid-deal
- !Net proceeds can be lower than a fast-priced retail listing — run both numbers
Arizona-specific note
AZ cash sales typically close in 7–14 days because there's no lender appraisal. The trustee's sale can be postponed once a binding contract and proof of funds are presented to the trustee — but only if you do it before the sale day.
Cash, as-is is the right answer when speed and certainty beat price. The mistake is assuming all cash offers are similar — they're not. I always run two or three side-by-side and compare the actual net to a 7-day-priced retail listing before I recommend a path.
