Sell a House

Sell your house without the repairs or the showings.

We evaluate houses as they are and talk through a potential cash offer — with a clear explanation of how we got there.

Is this a fit?

A simpler option when listing doesn’t make sense.

Listing a house can mean repairs, cleaning, staging, open houses, and months of uncertainty. For some owners that works well. For others — especially when a house needs work or life is already busy — selling directly can be simpler.

People reach out to us when they:

  • Have a house that needs repairs or updates they’d rather not take on
  • Inherited a property and need to decide what to do with it
  • Are relocating, downsizing, or managing a move on a timeline
  • Own a rental they no longer want to manage
  • Simply prefer a direct sale over listing with an agent

The process

How a cash offer works, in plain English.

1

Tell us about the house.

Share the address, its condition, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. A short form or phone call is enough to start.

2

We take a look.

We review the property — usually including a walkthrough — and consider its condition, needed repairs, and comparable sales nearby.

3

You get a clear offer.

We explain the number and the terms. If it works for you, we agree on a closing date together. If not, you owe us nothing.

No obligation. Requesting an offer doesn’t commit you to anything, and we won’t pressure you to decide on the spot.

Questions

Common questions about selling to us.

Don’t see your question? Call us at (704) 791-9927.

Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house?

No. We evaluate houses as they are. The condition of the property and any repairs it needs are factored into our offer, which we’ll explain to you.

How do you decide on an offer?

We look at the property’s condition, the cost of needed repairs, its location, and recent sales of comparable homes nearby. We’ll walk you through the main factors behind our number.

Am I obligated to accept your offer?

No. Requesting an offer is free and comes with no obligation. You’re welcome to compare it with other options, including listing with an agent.

How quickly can we close?

It depends on the property, title, and your timeline. Some sales can close relatively quickly; others take longer. We’ll talk through a realistic timeline before you decide — we don’t promise a closing date before reviewing your situation.

Are there agent commissions or fees?

When you sell directly to us, there’s no real estate agent commission. We’ll review any closing costs with you before you sign anything.

Will Applegate Properties be the buyer?

In most cases we buy properties ourselves. In some cases we may work with a partner or assign our purchase contract to another buyer. If that applies to your property, we’ll tell you upfront.

What areas do you buy in?

We’re based in Concord and buy houses across North and South Carolina. Reach out and we’ll let you know if your property is in an area we work.
