Selling Your Portland Home Can Be A Quick & Easy Process

We Buy Houses in Maine buys houses in and around Portland as well as Lewiston, Bangor, Auburn, Scarborough and the rest of The Pine Tree State.

Remember…

We are NOT listing your house like a real estate agent. We are the people actually paying you cash to buy your home. Because we pay cash and are buying your Portland property directly from you, there is no middleman involved.

What does this mean for you?

It means you can schedule to close on whatever day works best for you. We’re able to close on your timeline—whether that is in 10 days or 10 months!

When you work with us there are no fees and no commissions like there are when you list your house with a traditional agent. You never have to worry about any extra costs to sell your house fast coming out of your pocket or even getting your house “market-ready” to sell. We want to buy your house as-is.

No matter how ugly or pretty it is and no matter the location, we buy houses in Portland in any condition.

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.

Seriously, you can just sell your house and dump all its headaches super fast.

And the best part?

Boom! You immediately stop bleeding money for it. You won’t have to pay one more cent for the mortgage, the insurance, or those crazy property taxes. Even the little stuff, like the water bills and electric bills, they just stop. You’re just done and you’re never taking cash out of your pocket for this property ever again..

Think about it:

If you list it with an agent, you’re stuck waiting. And nosy people are coming through your house at any time the agent schedules a showing. Right now, the average time a Portland house stays on the market is 12 weeks from listing to closing.

It could be three months or even more! All that time, you’re still paying all those bills, which is super stressful. That’s like, three more mortgage payments and three more insurance bills… all just stacking up while you wait for some buyer to maybe close. Selling it fast just cuts all that off so you can actually walk away with your cash and not worry about it ever again.

Don’t worry about doing any repairs.

Don’t worry about doing cleaning your house again and again for vistor after visitor.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed. Is it a complete fixer? Great! We love projects. We want to make an offer on your house today. Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.

What exactly does “as-is” mean?

It’s actually super simple. It just means you sell your house exactly how it is right now. You don’t have to do a single thing to it.

Got a leaky roof? Not your problem. That weird carpet stain or the creaky floorboard? Forget about it. You don’t have to paint, fix anything, or even clean up for showings. You get to completely skip all the annoying parts of selling a house. No spending weekends at Home Depot trying to fix stuff. No hiring expensive contractors.

We just buy it, and we take care of all the repairs, the inspections, and the cleaning after you’ve already cashed your check.

Sure, we have to kind of guess what those repairs will cost and build that into our offer, but it saves you all that money and stress. You don’t have to waste time getting bids or worrying if you fixed the right things. You just sell it, get paid, and move on. It’s way less of a headache.

“All-cash” means exactly that – all cash for your Portland home! Because we are real estate investors who are purchasing your home directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the financing falling through, or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive at closing.

What does an “all-cash offer” mean?

It’s exactly what it sounds like: we pay for your house with straight-up cash.

Here’s why that’s a huge deal for you. Virtually all of the possible buyers a real estate agent would bring you are Mainers just like you and I. They have to go to a bank, qualify for a loan after showing they have saved $30,000 or more for a down payment for a loan, and hope they get approved. That part is super slow and really risky. You could be waiting weeks or even months just for the bank to make up its mind.

What this means for you…

Your buyer’s bank is in charge of the sale of your house, not you. You give up all control when you sell this way.

And the worst part? The buyer’s financing can fall apart at the last second. You could be days away from closing, have your bags packed, and then… nope. The bank changes its mind, the loan is denied, and the whole deal crashes. You’re stuck right back at the beginning, having to list your house all over again.

We’re totally different.

We’re investors, so we’re buying your house directly using money set aside specifically to buy houses like your here in Maine. We don’t need to ask a bank for permission.

For you, this means two things:

1. It’s 100% certain. There’s zero risk of a loan falling through.
2. It’s fast. We don’t have to wait for a bank, so we can close in just a few days if you want.

When we make you an offer, that’s the actual amount of money you’ll get. No disappearing buyers, no last-minute bank problems, just a simple, guaranteed sale.

How fast is a fast closing?

After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!

What if I don’t need a fast closing?

At We Buy Houses in Maine, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc., we will schedule the closing on the day that works best for you!

Will I get a lowball offer?

Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer possible. Unlike other buyers or big tech giants, we’re transparent with how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process and happy to walk you through how it works.

Is this even legit?

Yes, it is! The real estate industry is rapidly changing, and thousands of homeowners are exploring their options when it comes to selling their house in the fastest, easiest, and most transparent way. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for those homeowners who may not have the time or ability to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll work with you to assess your situation, make you a transparent all-cash offer, and close on your timeline.
