Selling to us

Sell your house the easy way

A cash sale replaces months of prep, showings and uncertainty with one written offer and a closing date you choose. Here is exactly what happens, and what we promise.

What we promise

Four things you can hold us to

  • A firm number, in writing

    The offer you accept is the number you are paid, less only your own mortgage payoff and prorated taxes. We do not renegotiate after inspection.

  • Nothing to fix, nothing to clean

    We buy houses with bad roofs, old kitchens, code violations and full garages. Our offer already accounts for the work.

  • Your date, not ours

    We can close in seven days when you need speed, or hold the closing for two months while you find your next place.

  • Local people who answer the phone

    We are in Gilbert. The person who walks the house is the person who signs the contract.

Side by side

Cash sale vs. traditional listing

The same house, two timelines. The listing path can win on price. The cash path wins on certainty, speed and cost.

Highest possible price

List with the Carter Team

If your home shows well and you have the time, listing on the open market usually brings the top price. Our licensed agents handle pricing, marketing and negotiations.
