Sell Your House Fast — As-Is, for Cash

The fastest way to sell a house in Chattanooga is to sell it as-is to a local cash buyer. You skip repairs, showings and the buyer's mortgage approval, and you can close in 7–30 days. Southern Home Offers makes written as-is offers in Hamilton, Bradley, Sequatchie, Catoosa and Walker counties.

Yes. Houses that need work are what we focus on: major repairs, foundation, roof, fire or water damage, mold, hoarder houses, code violations, and dated houses nobody has touched in decades.

Usually 7–30 days from a signed contract, depending mostly on how quickly the title work clears. If you need more time to move, you pick the closing date.

There is no commission and no fee to get an offer. Who pays which closing costs is written into your contract before you sign, so you know your net number up front.

We start with what the house would sell for fully fixed up, then subtract the repairs, the costs to hold and resell it, and the margin a buyer needs. We show you each of those numbers — see How We Calculate Our Offer.

Usually the price is lower, because the buyer takes on the repairs, risk and resale costs. For a house that needs significant work, the gap after repairs, commissions and months of holding costs is often smaller than people expect. If listing would clearly net you more, we will tell you.

Sometimes we buy and close on the house ourselves; other times we assign our purchase contract to another investor buyer or partner with one. We tell you which, in writing, before you sign, and your price and closing terms in the contract do not change either way.

No — when we make an offer we are buying, not representing you. Our owner, Mike Burge, is a licensed real estate broker in Tennessee and Georgia, and we disclose that in every contract. You are always free to have your own agent or attorney review an offer.

Then you may get more with our Fix & List option: we partner with you, handle and pay for the updates, and the house is listed on the open market through an affiliated licensed brokerage. You get a higher price than a straight cash sale with no money out of pocket.
