The transactions are scheduled back-to-back to reduce the stress that you might otherwise experience. You can speak with one of our Concierge Specialists to learn more.
Home improvements like renovations or updates to your home are an important factor in determining your home value and our purchase offer. It’s important you tell us about them in your offer request. Including photos of your improvements also help and can be sent via email to info@flashhouse.com. Please ensure that your home’s address is included in your email.

Some reasons we may require photos include the home’s age, lack of comparable properties, or because we feel that we can’t get an accurate idea of the value of your home without photos.

In rare instances, we may conclude that we’re not able to renew an offer.

As with any home sale, sellers are responsible for certain home closing costs. Closing fees may include title insurance, escrow fees, HOA transfers fees, taxes, document transfers and other customary fees. They may differ based on the market and typically range from 1% to 3% of the purchase price. The FlashHouse team is always willing to help you work with the title company or attorney’s office handling the transaction to get an accurate estimate of your net proceeds.
Home values found on sites like Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, and Redfin, are determined by each respective site’s computer-generated algorithms. The estimated values are limited by the data available to them through public records. They only consider the housing market’s history; not where it’s going.
While a FlashOffer is not intended to be an appraisal of any kind, it is an actionable offer based on thorough property analysis by our team of real estate experts. We take time to consider and evaluate your home’s unique features and conditions in the context of the market’s inventory and trajectory.
FlashHouse offers a fair market value purchase price for your home with no hidden costs or fees.
Home sellers who work with FlashHouse skip the costly preparations, open houses, showings, and often months of unpredictability that comes with the traditional process.
