Most “we buy houses” companies can offer you one thing — a cash offer, almost certainly below market. As a licensed agent with 20 years of experience, I walk you through every option and tell you honestly which one serves you best.
Close in as few as 7 days. No showings, no repairs, no contingencies. Your home goes in front of thousands of investors simultaneously — they compete, you get a real number, not a single lowball.
List on the open market as-is — no repairs, no staging. In competitive markets, as-is listings attract multiple offers and often produce more than a single cash offer.
Light cleanup, priced right, sold fast — without a full renovation. Faster than traditional, higher than a deep-discount cash offer.
Own your home free and clear? Carry the note and collect monthly payments instead of a lump sum. Often achieves a higher total price over time.
Rent now, sell later. Lock in a future sale price today while collecting rent in the meantime.

Maryland law requires lenders to send a Notice of Intent to Foreclose at least 45 days before filing a foreclosure action. That notice triggers access to Maryland's Foreclosure Mediation Program — a free state program that can pause the timeline. But mediation only delays; it doesn't resolve the underlying missed payments.
After the Notice of Intent, the lender may file in Montgomery County Circuit Court. At that point you're in active foreclosure, and while the judicial process typically runs 9 to 18 months, the pressure and uncertainty make every month harder. Selling before the Notice of Intent — or shortly after — gives you the cleanest exit.
Montgomery County home values have appreciated significantly over the past decade. Even homeowners who bought at peak prices in Germantown, Damascus, or Clarksburg and are now behind on payments often have meaningful equity. That equity disappears at a foreclosure auction, where properties sell well below market value. A cash sale captures that equity and delivers it to you at closing.
We can typically make an offer within 24 hours of a walkthrough and close in 14 days. If your lender has already filed, we can sometimes close fast enough to pay off the loan before the auction date — stopping the foreclosure entirely.
If you're a few payments behind and have the ability to catch up — through a family loan, a reinstatement agreement with the lender, or a loan modification — selling may not be necessary. We can help you evaluate whether reinstatement makes sense given your equity position and income outlook. But if the payments are unrecoverable and the home is likely to go to foreclosure regardless, a sale now protects far more than waiting.
