No obligation — we’re happy to help you determine whether a direct sale makes sense for your situation.
The HomeTrade Way
A straightforward and professional process designed to make selling your home simple and predictable.
Start With A Conversation
We begin with a no-obligation conversation to understand your property, timeline, and goals. Every situation is different, and we take the time to determine whether a direct sale is the right fit.
Review & Purchase Proposal
After reviewing the property, we present a clear purchase proposal with straightforward terms. Homes are purchased as-is, without the need for repairs, showings, or preparing the property for listing.
Close on Your Timeline
If a direct sale makes sense, closing is scheduled around your timeline. We coordinate with all parties involved to ensure a smooth and professional closing process from start to finish.
Is a Direct Sale the Right Fit?
A direct home sale is not the right solution for every property or situation. Some homeowners benefit from listing on the open market, particularly when time, preparation, and market exposure are not concerns.
HomeTrade works with homeowners to determine whether a direct sale makes sense based on property condition, timeline, and individual goals. A direct sale is often preferred when simplicity, certainty, or flexibility are more important than preparing a home for listing or navigating a traditional sales process.
Our objective is to provide a straightforward option for homeowners who want clarity and a predictable outcome, while ensuring each seller can make the decision that best fits their situation.

HomeTrade regularly works alongside attorneys, title companies, and other parties involved in the transaction to help ensure a smooth and professional closing experience.
Every property and situation is different, and we’re happy to help homeowners determine whether a direct sale or a traditional listing makes the most sense.
