How does selling to Sell to Grand work?

Tell us about your house and we come back with two numbers: what it would net listed on the open market with our brokerage, and what we can pay you in cash. You compare them side by side and pick the path that fits your life. There is no obligation to take either one.

What is the difference between the cash offer and the listed estimate?

The listed estimate is what your home is likely to net on the open market. That is usually the higher number, but it takes showings, repairs, and time. The cash offer is what we pay you directly, below retail, on a closing date you choose, with no repairs and no showings. The gap between the two is what speed and certainty cost, and we show it to you honestly.

Do I need to make repairs or clean the house?

No. We buy as-is. You do not fix anything, paint anything, or even finish clearing it out. Leave behind whatever you do not want and we will handle it.

Are there any fees or commissions?

On a cash purchase there are no agent commissions, and we cover the standard closing costs. If it turns out that listing is the better move for you, we will walk you through the normal brokerage costs up front, before you commit to anything.

How fast can you close?

You choose the closing date. Because a cash purchase does not wait on a buyer's mortgage, appraisal, or repairs, it can move much faster than a traditional sale when you need it to, or we can slow it down if you need more time to move.

Is the offer really no-obligation?

Yes. Getting your two numbers costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If neither option is right for you, that is a perfectly fine answer, and we will tell you honestly if we think listing beats our cash offer.

Why would I take a cash offer that is below retail?

Some sellers value certainty and speed more than squeezing out the last dollar: a firm price, a closing date they can plan around, no repairs, no showings, and no deal falling through at the last minute. If that is worth more to you than the extra money a listing might bring, the cash offer can be the right call. If it is not, you should list, and we will tell you so.

Is Sell to Grand a licensed real estate brokerage?

Yes. Robert Grand is a licensed Oregon Principal Broker. When we buy a home for our own account, he is buying as a licensee and is self-represented in the transaction. Being licensed is exactly why we can show you both the listed and the cash numbers instead of only one.

What kinds of situations do you help with?

All kinds: inherited or probate homes, relocation, houses that need more repairs than you want to take on, falling behind on payments, divorce or other life changes, tired rentals, or simply wanting a private sale without putting the house on the open market.

What areas do you buy in?

We buy throughout Lane County, Oregon, including Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Creswell, Junction City, Veneta, Florence, Coburg, Oakridge, Lowell, Dunes City, and Westfir.

Will you list my house instead if that is better for me?

Absolutely, and we will say so. Because we are a licensed brokerage, if your home would net you meaningfully more on the open market and you can wait for it, listing is on the table and we can handle it for you. A seller who lists with us is a win, not a lost deal.
