Are You a Candidate for Cash Home Buyer Services in Baltimore, MD?
There are times when selling your home the traditional way makes sense and times when it doesn’t. When we started out in real estate, we discovered many people who needed to sell fast, and they were often stuck. There were no good options beyond the time-consuming, traditional home-selling path.
We started Express Homebuyers for these people, and we continue to help people sell simply and effortlessly for a cash payout.
The question is: is Express Homebuyers the best fit for you? You may want to reach out to our cash home buyers in Baltimore if:
- You are divorcing
- Your spouse has passed, and you desire a different living arrangement
- You have inherited a home that you do not plan to keep
- Your home needs renovations and repairs that you don’t want to do
- You lost your job and need the money from your home to stay financially solvent
- You are declaring bankruptcy
- You want to avoid foreclosure
- You have a rental home that you don’t want to keep
- You want to move, but you don’t want to jump through all the usual hoops
Skip These Home Selling Hassles
Most people think there’s just one way to sell a home, but that’s not the case. Through our program of buying houses for cash in Baltimore, we allow you to completely bypass these stressful aspects of a real estate sale:
Find a Realtor
Selling a home the traditional way involves finding a realtor who is familiar with your area and highly rated, but not someone who is in such high demand that they don’t prioritize your home sale. They should have plenty of tricks up their sleeves for making your home look appealing to buyers. They should have a smart strategy for pricing your home competitively for your area, and they should be innovative about marketing your home. Will they list it on multiple websites? Offer video tours? Offer open houses?
Decide What to Upgrade
Is your home in need of repairs? Is the HVAC in good working order? Do the faucets drip? Is your driveway full of cracks and dips? Is your bathroom looking a little too 1990s?
Even with a well-maintained house, there seems to be no end to all of the upgrades you could give it. If you plan to do upgrades, you’ll need to decide prudently based on which ones will deliver the highest return value when you sell.
Stage Your Home
Your home is about to become a celebrity. People will come from far and wide to see it, snap pictures, and give it the ol’ two thumbs up (or not).
The first things that prospective buyers see are the pictures, so you’ll need to make sure your house looks picture-perfect. Next, they’ll likely come for an open house or realtor-guided walk-through.
To get ready, you’ll need to tend to the outside of the house, making sure that the landscaping looks attractive but not too high-maintenance. Your home’s exterior should scream curb appeal. Broken shutters or missing roof shingles will not pass muster, and a visible crack in the foundation will be out of the question.
If your paint is old or scuffed up, you’ll need to invest in a fresh coat. If your furniture is less than chic, you’ll likely want to move it out, which means finding a place to store it. Your realtor will likely have access to modern furnishings they can bring into the home in your old furniture’s place.
If your home is filled with stuff, you’ll need to streamline. After all, rooms look bigger when there’s less in them. You’ll need to question every possession and haul it to the thrift store if you don’t need it cluttering up your rooms.
You’ll want your bathrooms and kitchens to shine, so it’s time to start getting rid of those mildew spots in the shower or the residue on your oven top. And the challenge will be keeping everything sparkly clean through what may well be dozens of showings.
Wait
If you live in a high-demand area of Baltimore, you might get an offer right away, but otherwise, you might find yourself waiting for weeks or months for a solid offer. (It takes about seven weeks for the average house to sell.)
Negotiate Offers
Once offers start coming in, you’ll need to decide between them (if there are multiple) and select the best one. You can accept the offer as-is or make a counteroffer. The offer includes more than just a price. You’ll need to consider what the buyer is offering in terms of down payment amount, forms of payment, types of financing, closing date, and contingencies (such as, “This offer is contingent upon your current home selling by (X) date” or, “This offer is contingent upon your home passing an inspection.”) It can be a lot to sort through and a lot of pressure to pick the right buyer.
Address Home Inspection Findings
A prospective buyer will commonly order a home inspection so that they know if there are any problems with your home that need to be addressed, such as a deck that doesn’t meet building codes or evidence of a plumbing leak or termites. You will usually be required to remedy these problems for the sale to go through.
Close on Your Home
This involves a lot of documents and, potentially, a lot of costs. As the seller, you will likely be responsible for at least some of the closing costs. This could include:
- Real estate agent commissions
- Transfer taxes
- Recording fees
There may be additional fees from the IRS. For example, if your home price exceeds $500,000, it will be subject to capital gains taxes.
To close, you’ll need to bring the deed to your home and a certified check (in the amount specified by the escrow company). You can plan to sign or review the deed, closing statement, closing disclosure, affidavit of title, bill of sale, recent tax statements, and more. It’s a whole lot of paperwork, and you might get the feeling you’re signing your life away.
Move and Clean
Phew. Now that you’ve finished the sale, you can take a breath. But, unfortunately, you can’t relax for long. Your work isn’t finished yet. You’ll need to get your stuff from your old house to the new one. You’ll also need to make sure that the old house is in tip-top condition for the new owners. That means when the boxes are packed and the truck is loaded, you’ll still need to clean out the appliances, scrub the floors, clean the bathrooms, and more.
If you have time and energy to do all of this, a traditional sale may be the way to go, but if it all sounds like more than you are up to right now, there’s an easier way.
At Express Homebuyers, we don’t sell your house like a real estate agent does. We actually buy your house in Baltimore and give you the cash. You can skip the real estate agent and their commission. You can skip the staging, renovating, and cleaning. We buy your home as-is.
Got junk you don’t want to haul away? Repairs you never made? A big grape juice stain on the living room floor? No problem. Walk away, and we’ll take care of it.
We’ll do a brief “soft inspection” to find any major issues with the home (cracked foundation, broken HVAC, etc.) and get right back to you with a cash offer. There will be no showings droning on for weeks, no back-and-forth negotiations with potential buyers, and no drawn-out closing processes with endless paperwork and nickel-and-diming. You can leave the home as-is and walk away with the cash.
Won’t I Lose Money When I Sell with Express Homebuyers?
Let’s say you go through all of the above hassles and sell with a real estate agent. Can you command a higher price than you would get through Express Homebuyers? And if so, you may be asking, “Why would I choose to sell my house fast in Baltimore and risk losing money?”
The obvious “why” is because Express Homebuyers allows you to save countless hours and sanity, too. If you want quick cash for your home and zero hassle, we’re your solution.
But Express Homebuyers can be a sound financial choice, too. Many buyers spend thousands of dollars before they even list their home. After all, if you’re trying to sell your house, it needs to outshine other similar homes on the market.
If the exterior of the home is lacking, you may need to repaint and fix up the landscaping (trim, mow, weed, etc.). When it comes to the inside of your home, you may need to repaint, repair, recarpet, and even remodel to get your home to be show-worthy. This may involve moving out old furniture and moving in new furniture for “staging” purposes. There’s also the cost of a photo shoot so that your house looks dazzling in the listing pictures.
You may be able to command a higher price through a traditional sale, but you won’t get to keep all of that money. Remember that you likely need to pay the real estate agent about 6% of the selling price. (On a $400,000 home, that’s $24,000.) Other closing costs can average up to 9% (for an additional $36,000).
You can add to that the repair, renovation, and cleaning costs to get your home ready to sell and the costs to address any issues discovered in the home inspection.
You’ll also be responsible for paying for the home while it sits on the market. If you’re living in the home, this may not be a big deal, but if you’re living elsewhere and trying to float two mortgages, this could get tight.
The offer you will get from Express Homebuyers may not initially look as good as the price you’ll command through a traditional sale. However, when you consider the add-on costs and hassle of a traditional sale, you’ll find that your offer from Express Homebuyers is impressively competitive.
How Is My Cash Offer Determined?
Our team of cash home buyers in Baltimore will base their offer on several criteria, including:
Your Home’s Age and Condition
How old is your home? How well are the different systems working? What shape are the different architectural features in?
Your Home’s Size
Your home’s lot size and square footage, along with its layout and the number of rooms and bathrooms, can affect your offer.
Market Trends
We’ll weigh national trends and interest rates along with local market trends. Fortunately, we’re extremely familiar with the Baltimore housing marketing. This allows us to see the potential for both your home and your area that homebuyers who aren’t as familiar with the area may miss. With our depth of experience in your area, we can provide you with a speedy offer that is an accurate reflection of your home’s worth
Location
We’ll take into account the neighborhood, schools, proximity to the freeway and mass transit options, and access to amenities.
Your offer will be presented to you in a fully transparent format. You’ll get a clear breakdown, which will reveal any costs or fees associated with the final transaction. We guarantee that there will be no last minute surprises.
Along with the full estimate, we’ll show you the net proceeds so you’ll know right where you’ll stand financially at the end of the transaction.
Why Choose Express Homebuyers?
There are other companies that buy houses in Baltimore, but here’s what sets us apart:
Experience
We have been paying cash for houses in the greater Baltimore area since 2003. During that time, we’ve conducted thousands of appraisals and real estate transactions. While our CEO, Brad Chandler, holds a master’s degree, the art of homebuying is best learned on the job. The last thing you want is a novice underestimating the worth of your home or a newbie company that doesn’t have the solid financial standing to back their offer with quick cash.
Strong Moral Compass
There’s a reason why we’re known as the most trusted home buyer in the DMV. Check out our reviews, and you’ll see a testament to our integrity. We’re known for being fair in our assessment of your property. We show up promptly and, when it’s time to close, with a check in hand for the amount we promised you. That’s why we continually earn top grades from the Better Business Review and glowing feedback from customers who know we’re doing right by them.
Brad and Jud, our co-founders, are family guys who know what it’s like to own a home and sell it. They prioritize stability for their own families and for yours and make it their mission to relieve you of any unnecessary stress surrounding the sale of your home.
A Personal Touch
We’re not some big, distant corporation, and you’re not a number to us. We live and work near you. We call you by name and treat you like family. When we come in for our soft inspection, we’ll respect your home, no matter what condition it is in. We are not there to pass judgment. We’re there to give you a fair deal and help you move forward in your life.
No Strings Attached
We don’t require any kind of contract until you’ve seen and agreed to our offer. Contact us for a free offer and walk away if you don’t like it. No risk, no obligation. We respect your decision either way and won’t bother you if you decide not to sell through Express Homebuyers.
The Easy Button
You chose Express Homebuyers because you needed to sell your house fast in Baltimore. That means you don’t have time to wait on us or navigate complex processes.
Selling a home the traditional way involves dozens of steps. Selling a home through us involves just three: 1) enter your information on our website and get your quote, 2) we’ll reach out for a brief home inspection, and 3) we’ll make you a cash offer to accept or reject.
Just three easy steps, and you can walk away with the cash. And when we say walk away, we mean it. You don’t have to tidy or repair your home for the home inspection or the final “out.” In fact, if you have old furniture or junk of any kind that you don’t want to take with you, just leave it in the home. We’ll take care of it so you can leave without a care.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Sadly, the cash-for-homes industry can attract people who prey on homeowners in difficult situations. They may see a potential client who is grieving a loved one, sliding into bankruptcy, or filing for divorce. They may feign compassion but exploit the client’s situation.
Our testimonials and reviews attest to our sensitive, upstanding approach to our clients’ unique circumstances. We recognize the flurry of emotions you may be experiencing as you approach the sale of your home, and we honor your unique situation.
Our entire company is designed around making our clients’ lives easier, and we aim to be as accommodating as possible. We treat you like we would treat a family member in a similar circumstance–with respect, kindness, and integrity.

We have many years of experience in Baltimore and love the area for its diversity, outstanding food and cultural activities, deep sense of community, proximity to multiple big cities, and affordable cost of living (for an East Coast city).
We are always eager to buy homes in Baltimore because we know what a high-demand city it is. We want to be part of the up-and-coming housing market here, and we know your home is part of that opportunity.
If you are ready to sell hassle-free, call our cash home buyers in Baltimore, Maryland. We’re prepared to offer you the most hassle-free homebuying experience available.
