Thinking about selling your home to a cash buyer? You’re not alone. A lot of homeowners in El Paso are looking for fast, simple ways to sell — and cash buyers can definitely offer that. But here’s something to keep in mind:
There are a few things some cash buyers won’t tell you about selling your home.
We’re not here to call anyone out. Every buyer has their own way of doing business. But after helping dozens of sellers through the process, we’ve learned that most homeowners just aren’t given the full picture before they sign on the dotted line. And we think that’s worth fixing.
So let’s walk through what we’ve seen —and what some cash buyers won't tell you about selling your home.
1. The First Offer You Get Isn’t Always the Best
If you’ve already gotten an offer from a buyer, great. Just don’t feel like you have to jump on it right away. Some investors make quick offers hoping you’ll accept before you’ve had a chance to think things through.
We’ve talked to sellers who told us, “It all felt rushed.” That’s a red flag.
Take your time. Ask questions. A good buyer won’t pressure you into accepting on the spot. At We Buy Casa, we want you to feel good about your decision — whether you work with us or not.
2. Some Buyers May Try to Assign Your Contract (And That’s Not Necessarily a Bad Thing)
Here’s something that doesn’t get talked about much: some buyers don’t plan to close themselves. Instead, they’ll assign the contract to another investor — which can work fine if they know what they’re doing.
But if they can’t find someone else to take over, it can cause delays or even kill the deal.
That’s why it’s important to work with someone who has the ability to close no matter what. At We Buy Casa, even if we explore assignments, your sale is protected — because we’re ready and able to fund and close the deal ourselves.
3. Hidden Costs Can Sneak In
We’ve heard of situations where sellers are told there are “no fees,” but later find out they’re on the hook for title costs, escrow fees, or repair credits.
At We Buy Casa, we aim to make things simple. We’ll tell you upfront what to expect at closing — no surprises, no made-up fees. If we say it’s a net offer, it’s a net offer. That’s it.
4. You Might Not Have to Move Out Right Away
You’d be surprised how many sellers think they have to be out the second the deal closes. That’s not always true.
A lot of buyers, including us, are willing to work with you on flexible move-out timelines. Need a week or two to pack and move after closing? That’s usually no problem — just let us know upfront.
We’ve even had cases where sellers stayed a bit longer to get their next place lined up. If we can make your transition easier, we will.
5. Some Buyers Push for a Quick Decision — Even When You're Not Ready
We've had sellers tell us they spoke with a buyer who gave them a deadline — like “you have 24 hours to accept or the deal’s off the table.”
Listen, if you’re not ready to sell yet, that’s completely okay. You’ll sell when the timing is right for you.
At We Buy Casa, we’re not here to pressure you into anything. We’d love to be the ones you do a deal with when you’re ready — whether that’s now, next month, or six months from now.
6. Market Value, Appraised Value, and a Cash Offer Are Three Different Things
It’s easy to get confused about what your home is “worth.” Some buyers might show low comps to justify a lower offer. Others might not explain their math at all.
We believe in transparency. When we make you a cash offer, we’ll walk you through the numbers — what the home might sell for after repairs (also called the ARV), how much we estimate the repairs to cost, and what it would take to sell the home on the open market.
We’re a business, yes — but we want the offer to make sense for both of us. That’s how good deals get done.
