How it works

The short version

You tell us about your home once. We pass your request to one licensed local real estate agent (for a free market report) or one local cash home buyer (for a cash offer). They contact you in the way you allowed. You decide what happens next.

Step by step

1. You choose a door. "What's my home worth?" if you're open to listing with an agent. "Get a cash offer" if speed or selling as-is matters more. You can ask for both.
2. You fill in one short form. The address, a few details about the home and timing, and how to reach you. Calls and texts only happen if you tick the box.
3. We pass it to one agent or one buyer. For a market report, we look for a licensed agent who works your ZIP code. For a cash offer, a local cash buyer. Never a list of companies, and never more than one at a time.
4. They contact you. An agent prepares a comparative market analysis (CMA), usually within 24 hours of getting your details. A cash buyer will usually want to see the home before making any offer.
5. You decide. No obligation to list, sell or sign anything.

Who pays us, and how

Homeowners never pay us. Agents and cash buyers pay HomeSellersUSA a flat fee for each request we pass to them, whether or not you list or sell. We never take any share of a commission, a sale price or an offer, and the fee doesn't depend on the outcome.

What we don't do

• We are not a real estate broker and we don't represent you, the agent or the buyer.
• We don't value homes. The market report comes from the licensed agent.
• We don't buy homes, and we don't make offers.
• We don't promise any sale price, timeline or offer amount.
• We don't sell your details to marketers or pass them to more than one agent or buyer at a time.

Checking an agent

Every state licenses its real estate agents, and every state lets you look a license up. Each of our state pages links to the official lookup for that state. In Texas, for example, you can check any agent's license and sponsoring broker on the TREC license holder search, and Texas agents also have to give you TREC's Information About Brokerage Services notice at the first substantive conversation about a transaction, which explains who they represent.
