Anyone can put a house and a promise on a website. This page gives you our verifiable facts, shows you how we make money, and walks you through pulling our record (WealthExtract LLC) from the Nevada Secretary of State's database.
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. Our buyer-partner page explains who may receive your inquiry, how those buyers pay us, and how to opt out.
Part 2The fastest way to judge any company is to find the money, so here is ours plainly: Fair Home Cash is an advertising and lead-generation service that connects home sellers with independent local cash buyers, and sellers pay Fair Home Cash $0. 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. We publish the offer formula, including the buyer's margin for taking the risk, at How Cash Buyers Price Offers, worked example included.
What we do not do is charge you anything. No fee to request an offer. No commission at closing. No charge for the walkthrough or the written offer, and buyers in our network typically cover all closing costs. 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 who behind this site, including what we are and are not, is on our About page.
Part 3Here 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 that most states do not give 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. The money never passes through our hands, 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.
Offers you request through this site come from independent local buyers, and the standard we ask them to meet is public: a real written offer survives being taken to your attorney, an agent, or a competing buyer. High-pressure "tonight only" tactics are the first tool of a bad operator, so we do not own that tool.
No application fees, no processing fees, no service fees, no commission. If you never accept an offer requested through this site, you owe us nothing. If you do accept one, you still owe us nothing: Fair Home Cash takes nothing out of your proceeds.
The price-drop-at-closing move works like this: offer high, wait until you have moved out or the foreclosure clock is nearly gone, then "discover" problems and slash the number. It is the defining scam of this industry. It is exactly why we push every seller to demand the math in writing: comps, repair scope, and every cost on paper from day one, so the number cannot quietly move. If you get your own inspection, a legitimate buyer's number does not change because you checked.
Deeds get signed at a title company or with a proper closing officer, recorded with the county, with your attorney welcome in the room. Anyone who slides a deed or power-of-attorney across your kitchen table "just to get started" is attempting theft, not a purchase.
A well-priced house in good condition, with time to spare, often nets more listed with an agent — and when that is your situation, we say so. Read the comparison yourself at Cash Buyer vs. Realtor before you decide anything.
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:
Go to esos.nv.gov (SilverFlume Business Entity Search). It is free and public — no account needed.
Type "WealthExtract" into the entity search. The state's record shows the entity, its status, and its registered agent — data we cannot edit, hosted on a .gov domain.
The company you are dealing with should match the record: WealthExtract LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, doing business as Fair Home Cash. Then call (773) 717-5643 and ask us anything — including questions about your own house we have never seen.
The same kind of lookup works on anyone who claims to buy houses in Illinois: Illinois companies are in the Secretary of State database at ilsos.gov, and out-of-state companies in their home state's database. No entity in the state database, or an address that resolves to a UPS store three states away? That silence is your answer. Our guide to cash-buyer scams lists the rest of the red flags.
Fair Home Cash is the trade name of WealthExtract LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, operated from Chicago, Illinois. You can confirm the registration yourself in the Nevada Secretary of State business database, call us at (773) 717-5643, and email hello@fairhomecash.com. Do not take this page's word for it; run the lookup.

Illinois companies can be checked the same way at ilsos.gov.
No. Sellers pay Fair Home Cash nothing: no commission, no service fee, and no charge for the walkthrough or the written offer, and there is no obligation to accept. Buyers in our network typically cover all closing costs, and back taxes or liens are paid out of the sale proceeds by the title company at closing.
Cutting the price after a seller is committed is the signature move of a bad cash buyer, and it is the exact behavior the written-offer standard on this site is built against. Ask any buyer for the math attached: the comparable sales, the repair scope, and every cost. If you get your own inspection, a legitimate buyer's number does not change because you checked.
Two parties who do not work for the buyer: your own attorney, which is standard practice at Illinois residential closings, and a licensed title company that holds the money in escrow, runs the title search, and pays liens out of proceeds. You never wire funds to anyone, and no legitimate buyer will ever ask you to.
Walk away from anyone who pressures you to sign the day they visit, refuses to put the offer and its math in writing, asks you to sign a deed outside of a formal closing, wants money from you for any reason, or cannot be found in the state's business records. Our guide to spotting these operations covers each one in detail.
If the property is a fit, you may receive a written offer directly from an independent local buyer, typically within 24 hours. Ask for the math attached; the standard is published on this site. No fees, no obligation, and your attorney is welcome from the first page.
