Most cash-for-houses sites never say what they actually are. This page does: who Fair Home Cash is, how we get paid, what we will never do, and why that structure works in your favor.
Fair Home Cash is the trade name of WealthExtract LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, operated from Chicago, Illinois. We run this website and the service behind it: when a homeowner needs to sell a house fast — foreclosure, an inherited property, a divorce, fire damage, a rental that has become a burden — Fair Home Cash connects that homeowner with independent cash buyers who work their market, purchase houses as-is, and are asked to meet our published buyer standards (the Seller's Bill of Rights).
When you request an offer through this site, we take down the property details and your timeline and share them with independent cash buyers or investors who work your area and your kind of situation. Fair Home Cash buys nothing, lists nothing, and negotiates for no one: the independent buyer named in your written contract is the party purchasing the property, and any offer you receive comes directly from that buyer, not from us. If you accept an offer, a licensed title company handles the escrow, the title search, and the closing documents for your transaction with that buyer. You never wire money to Fair Home Cash, and no money ever passes through our hands.
There is exactly one revenue stream, and here it is. Independent buyers pay Fair Home Cash flat marketing fees for the seller inquiries our advertising generates. Those fees are paid up front, are the same whether or not a purchase ever happens, are never a percentage of your sale, and never come out of your proceeds. Sellers pay Fair Home Cash nothing: no commission, no service fee, and no percentage of the sale.
The word flat matters. Our fee is not tied to your sale price, so we never take a cut of your sale, and there is no lever in our compensation that moves when your offer moves. Our Terms of Service put it in writing: the compensation we receive does not increase any price you may be offered, and it does not create any obligation on your part to sell your property or to accept any offer.
Why lead with this? Because in this industry, the money is where the games are. A company that will not tell you how it gets paid is usually paid in a way you would not like. We would rather put the model on the page in plain language and let you judge it for yourself.
Part 3What we are is simple: an advertising and lead-generation service that connects homeowners who want to sell with independent cash buyers. Fair Home Cash is not a licensed real estate brokerage and does not provide brokerage services. We do not represent you or any buyer in a transaction, we do not negotiate for either side, and we do not act as anyone's agent or fiduciary.
Fair Home Cash is never the buyer. Requests are shared with independent cash buyers who work your market, and some properties will not receive an offer. The buyer's legal name appears in any written purchase contract, and that name is never ours.
No yard sign, no showings, no listing agreement, no exclusivity. If you request an offer and then decide to list with an agent instead, nothing binds you to us.
In Illinois an attorney at closing is standard practice, and that works in your favor: before you sign anything — a contract from a buyer we connected you with or from anyone else — have your own attorney read it. Nothing on this site is legal, tax, or financial advice.
Fair Home Cash works to connect homeowners with independent buyers, but we cannot promise that your property will sell, that you will receive any particular offer or price, or that any specific outcome will result. Anyone who guarantees you a price before seeing the house is reading from a script.
Here is why the structure matters to a seller. Because we are not a brokerage, there is no commission coming out of your proceeds and no listing agreement locking you in — every exit stays open the whole time. And because nobody in this model is legally your representative, you should check the math yourself. That is exactly why we publish it: how a cash offer gets built, line by line, and a cash offer estimator that gives you a realistic range before you talk to anyone — including us.
Part 4A fair number survives being written down. We publish exactly how a cash offer gets built — the fixed-up value with the comparable sales, the repair scope, the resale costs, and the buyer's profit, stated out loud — at How Cash Buyers Price Offers. That page is the standard, and you can check any buyer against it, including the ones we connect you with.
Your decision runs on your clock. Take the written offer to your attorney, compare it against an agent's net sheet, get competing offers. A number that changes because you asked questions was never a real number.
Requesting an offer creates no obligation of any kind — it is in our Terms, not just on this page. From the first call to the closing table, the decision stays yours, and walking away costs you nothing.
A well-priced house in good condition, with time to wait, often nets more listed with an agent even after commissions and closing costs. If that is your house, list it. This service exists for the houses and timelines where that math does not work.
Questions about how any of this works — before you have given us a single detail about your house — are welcome. Call, email, or write.
Yes. Fair Home Cash is a real advertising and lead-generation service that connects homeowners who want to sell with independent local cash buyers. Requesting an offer is free and creates no obligation. An offer is not guaranteed, and you decide whether to accept any offer you receive.
No. Fair Home Cash is not a real estate broker or agent and does not list your property or represent either party. Fair Home Cash is an advertising and lead-generation service and is never the buyer; the independent buyer named in your contract is the purchasing party.
Independent buyers pay Fair Home Cash flat marketing fees for the seller inquiries our advertising generates. Those fees are paid up front, are the same whether or not a purchase ever happens, are never a percentage of your sale, and never come out of your proceeds. Sellers pay Fair Home Cash nothing: no service fees, no commissions, and no percentage of the sale.
No. Requesting an offer is free and creates no obligation of any kind. You can compare the number against listing with an agent, take it to your attorney, or simply walk away — the decision stays yours from the first call to the closing table.
