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 LLC is an Illinois limited liability company at 6231 N California Ave, Chicago, IL 60659, on the city's North Side. 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 — we connect them with vetted independent cash buyers who purchase houses as-is. In some cases, the partners we work with buy directly.
That is the entire business. When you request an offer through this site, here is the actual chain of events: we take down the property details and your timeline, we route that information to independent cash buyers or investors who work your area and your kind of situation, and a buyer contacts you about a walkthrough and a written offer. Any offer, purchase, and closing is a transaction negotiated directly between you and that buyer — we are not a party to the sale. If you accept, a licensed title company runs the escrow, the title search, and every document through closing. You never wire money to anyone, and you never wire money to us.
The economics fit in one sentence: independent cash buyers and investors pay Fair Home Cash a flat marketing fee for the introductions we provide, and sellers pay nothing. Not a commission. Not a closing fee. Not a percentage of your sale. Nothing when you request an offer, nothing at closing, and nothing if you walk away.
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 3Fair 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, and we do not act as anyone's agent or fiduciary.
When our marketing says "we buy houses for cash," it describes what the independent buyers we connect you with do. Every offer comes from a real buyer whose name is on the contract, not from us.
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.
We cannot promise that a buyer will make an offer on every property, or that any offer will land at a particular number. 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 We Make 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 cash-offer service: we connect homeowners with independent cash buyers, and in some cases our partners buy directly. There is never any fee, obligation, or pressure — you get an offer and you decide. Buyers pay us a flat marketing fee for the connection; we never take a cut of your sale. If anything ever feels off, you can walk away at any time.
No. Fair Home Cash is not a real estate broker or agent, and we do not ourselves buy, sell, list, or negotiate the sale of real estate. We connect homeowners with independent cash buyers; any offer, purchase, and closing is a transaction between you and that buyer, with a licensed title company handling the money and documents.
Buyers pay us a flat marketing fee for the connection. Sellers pay nothing — no fees, no commissions, and never a percentage of your sale. Per our Terms of Service, the compensation we receive does not increase any price you may be offered and does not obligate you to sell or to accept any offer.
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.
Written offer with the math attached. No fees, no obligation, no pressure — and you know how we get paid.
