Built for people moving on a deadline
The stuff that usually makes selling during a move painful.
We close on YOUR timeline
14 days if your move is tight. 60-90 days if it's slower. You don't fit our schedule. We fit yours.
No showings while you pack
No strangers walking through during your move. No staging. No open houses. No rescheduling your life around buyer tours.
Military PCS friendly
We've handled VA loans, BAH overlap timing, and short-notice PCS orders. We honor your report-by date. No re-negotiation games at the end.
No commissions, no surprises
No agent fees (typically 6%, or $18K on a $300K house). No closing costs from your side. The number we give you is the number you get. Wire transfer at closing.
Selling a house when you're moving: your options
A move puts a clock on your house. There are three honest ways to handle it, and they trade off speed, price, and how much you have to manage from a distance.
Sell before you go, for cash
The fastest and most certain route. You leave with cash in hand, nothing to manage from another state, and no house sitting empty behind you. You give up some retail upside in exchange for speed and a guaranteed close date. This is what we do.
List it and sell from a distance
You may get a higher price, but you are coordinating showings, repairs, and a buyer's financing remotely, and usually paying two housing costs until it sells. For a tight timeline that is a lot to juggle from a new city.
Rent it out instead
Some people keep the house and rent it. That can work, but long-distance landlording is its own job. If you go that route and later regret it, that is exactly what our tired landlord path is for.
Timing it with your new place
There are two clean ways to line things up. Close fast on your current home and carry the cash as a down payment on the next one (a bridge approach), or coordinate both closings for the same day. We flex to either, so you are not stuck owning two homes or none.
Corporate relocation buyout vs selling direct
If your employer offers a relocation buyout, get our number too before you accept. A buyout often runs through a relocation company that takes a margin, so a direct cash offer can net you more. It costs nothing to compare both.
Military PCS and short notice
Short-notice orders, a report-by date, BAH overlap, a VA loan to pay off. We close on your report-by date, not ours, and the offer number is the closing number, with no renegotiation at the end.
If the home has been your primary residence, you may also qualify for a capital gains exclusion when you sell. Rules depend on how long you lived there, so confirm the specifics with a tax professional.
A quick, honest note
Sterling Home Offer is a direct cash home buyer, not a tax or financial advisor or a relocation company. Whether you qualify for a capital gains exclusion, and how a corporate relocation buyout compares to selling direct, depend on your specific situation, so please confirm the details with a tax professional. Our offer is non-binding until you sign a written purchase agreement, you can walk away at any time, and we never charge you a fee.
