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 is a judicial foreclosure state, which means your lender must file suit in the Montgomery County Circuit Court at 50 Maryland Avenue in Rockville before they can sell your home. From the first missed payment to a foreclosure auction typically takes 9 to 18 months — longer if you respond to the suit or request mediation through Maryland's Foreclosure Mediation Program.
The process starts with a Notice of Intent to Foreclose, which must be sent at least 45 days before filing. After filing, the court appoints a trustee. You'll receive a summons and have the right to respond. If you don't, the court issues an Order to Docket and the property is scheduled for public auction — typically held at the Circuit Court or online through an auctioneer.
Once the gavel falls at auction, your options disappear. A cash sale before that point can pay off the loan balance, stop the case, and even put money in your pocket if you have equity.
Montgomery County has one of the strongest real estate markets in the Mid-Atlantic. Median home values in Potomac, Chevy Chase, and Bethesda routinely exceed $800,000. Even in more affordable pockets like Wheaton, White Oak, and parts of Germantown, values have held strong. That means most homeowners facing foreclosure in Montgomery County have equity — and a cash sale protects it.
Investor demand in Montgomery County is high. Proximity to DC, strong rental demand from federal contractors and government employees, and a deep pool of owner-occupant buyers mean properties move quickly when priced right. We can typically make an offer within 24 hours and close in as little as 14 days — fast enough to beat most auction schedules.
When you sell to a cash buyer and the lender is paid in full at closing, the foreclosure case is dismissed. There is no auction, no deficiency judgment, and no foreclosure on your credit report — only a standard sale. If you have equity above the payoff amount, you receive the difference at closing. Many homeowners in Montgomery County walk away with tens of thousands of dollars they would have lost at a distressed auction.
