"Is Fair Home Cash legit?"
Good. You should be asking that.

Start with the facts you can check

Skepticism is the correct posture toward any company that claims to buy houses, because this industry has more than its share of operators who are two burner phones and a logo. So instead of asking you to feel reassured, here is our identity on the record — every line of it checkable without our cooperation:

Notice what is not in that table: star ratings, invented sale counts, or a founding story we cannot document. We are a newer company and would rather show you checkable facts than borrowed praise. Who else is involved in a purchase, and what they see, is on our Who We Work With page.

What you pay, in plain sight

The fastest way to judge any company is to follow the money, so start with the part that touches you: Sellers pay Fair Home Cash nothing: no fees, no commissions, no percentage of your sale, and nothing is paid to Fair Home Cash out of your proceeds. Fair Home Cash is the buyer: when it makes an offer, it is offering to buy the house itself. How cash offers are built in general, from comparable sales to repair costs, is laid out at How Cash Buyers Price Offers.

What we do not do is charge you anything. No fee to request an offer. No commission at closing. No charge for the written offer. If someone claiming to be a cash buyer ever asks you for money up front, for "processing," "paperwork," or anything else, you are not talking to a buyer. You are talking to the fee itself. More on who is behind this site, including what we are and are not, is on our About page.

The Illinois protection worth knowing before you sign

Here is something genuinely useful that has nothing to do with trusting us: in Illinois, it is standard practice for the seller to have their own attorney at a residential closing. Chicago-area contracts routinely include an attorney review period. This is a structural protection not every state gives you, and it means you never have to take a cash buyer's honesty on faith: you can have a professional whose only client is you read every page before anything becomes binding.

We do not merely tolerate that custom; we lean on it, because it is the cheapest way for you to confirm we are what this page says. Take any written offer you receive to your attorney. On top of that sits the second protection: a licensed title company runs the escrow, holds every dollar, searches the title, and pays off liens and back taxes out of the proceeds at closing. When Fair Home Cash closes, the purchase money goes through that escrow, the title company pays out your proceeds, and you never wire funds to anyone at any stage. A deal structured any other way — cash outside of escrow, a notary in a parking lot, a deed signed at a kitchen table — is a deal to walk away from, no matter whose name is on the flyer.

What we will never do

How to verify us — the two-minute state lookup

Do not take a webpage's word for any of this, including ours. Fair Home Cash is the trade name of WealthExtract LLC, and Nevada, where the company is organized, keeps a public database of every registered business entity. Checking it costs nothing:
