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.
