How We Buy Houses in Maryland, Virginia and DC
Selling the traditional way means repairs, showings and weeks of waiting on a buyer's bank. We do it differently. Here is exactly how we buy houses, what we pay for, and what to expect at every step.
As cash home buyers in the DMV since 1986, we buy as-is for cash. You get an offer in 24 hours and can close in as little as 3 days.

What We Need From You to Make an Offer
A few basics are enough to start. Share what you know and be upfront about problems. It helps us give you an honest number. Not sure your situation qualifies? See the situations we help with.
- ✓Property address and location
- ✓Condition, repairs and updates
- ✓Unique features (addition, finished basement)
- ✓Mortgage balance, liens or back taxes
- ✓Your preferred timeline

How We Work Out the Number
We study recent sales of comparable homes near yours to find what your house would be worth fully updated. Then we subtract what it takes to get it there and what it costs us to buy and resell it. How property condition affects your offer is the biggest swing factor. Want a rough figure first? Estimate your cash offer online.
Offer formula
Why We Stay Conservative on the Preliminary Offer
We have not seen your house yet, so our first number is built on what you tell us. We keep it cautious so there are no surprises at the site visit.
No one likes a bait and switch. If the visit shows the home is in better shape than described, our final offer goes up, not down.

"No one likes a bait and switch. We would rather go up in our offer than down."Ed Rooney · Owner, Quick Homebuyers · Since 1986
Why We Can Close in 3 Days
We can close in as little as 3 days because we pay cash. A financed buyer waits on a bank. Without a lender, three of the slowest stages in a normal sale never happen. We buy this way across Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC, buying houses in all three.
Offer to settlement, side by side
Financed: typically 30 to 45 days
Title work still happens. The title company runs it in days, and settlement is on the date you choose.
What Happens on Settlement Day
Settlement is short and simple. Here is what to expect.
Where
At the title company or a settlement office near the property, on the date you choose.
Who attends
You (and any co-owners), a title company representative, and our team.
What you bring and sign
A government photo ID and the keys. You sign the deed and the settlement statement.
When you are paid
Funds reach you within 24 hours of settlement. Any mortgage payoff comes out first.


What You Pay
Nothing. The offer you accept is the amount we work from.
Seller costs
Our $10,000 Non-Refundable Deposit
Anyone can say they will close. We put money behind it.
The deposit is stated in your contract and held by the title company, not by us. If we do not fulfill our promise, the title company reimburses it to you. See our accreditations and how to verify us.

What We Don't Do
Knowing what we are not helps you pick the right way to sell.
- We are agents who list homesWe are not agents and do not list. We buy directly, with our own cash.
- We match open-market valueOur offer is below open-market value for an updated house. That is the trade for speed, certainty and zero cost.
- We charge fees or ask for moneyWe never do, before, during or after closing.
- We assign your contractWe do not. The company you sign with is the company that buys.
- We push a sale no matter whatWe will tell you if listing would net you more. Compare all five ways to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we buy homes?
Throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, in cities and quiet suburbs alike.
What do we need to know about your home upfront?
The address, the condition, any unique features or updates, and whether there is a mortgage or lien. Share everything you know so we can be honest from the start.
How do we determine your offer?
We start with the after-repair value from comparable sales nearby, subtract repair costs and our costs to hold and resell, and subtract our profit.
Do we really buy homes in any condition?
Yes. Brand new or in need of major work, we buy as-is. You do not repair, clean or renovate anything.
What guarantee do we provide?
A $10,000 non-refundable deposit, stated in the contract and held by the title company. If we do not fulfill our promise, the title company reimburses it to you.
What's the fastest we can settle?
We can close in as little as 3 days. Once you accept our offer, you choose the closing date that fits your schedule.
What's the catch?
The catch is price. Our offer is below what an updated house might fetch on the open market. In exchange you get speed, certainty and zero cost: no repairs, no fees, no commissions and no waiting on a buyer's bank. If listing would net you more, we will tell you.
Do you ever walk away after making an offer?
No. Once you accept and sign, our $10,000 non-refundable deposit is held by the title company. If we do not fulfill our promise, it is reimbursed to you.

I would like to say how incredible it was working with Ed, and his team. Warm, friendly, giving, patient, understanding beyond words. Ed had to work with my 80 year old sister with Bi-Polar disorder. To sell her house in Mount Ranier, Md. He was amazing working with her. I spent many days on the phone with Ed, and Angela talking me through the process, they were reassuring, and answered every question or concern I had with both compassion and care! The entire process was smooth and quick, only because of their expertise, and knowledge. I cant even describe in words how easy and smooth they made it. I met Ed through my niece. She highly recommended Ed since he bought three different properties from her on her in-law side. I now Highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to sell their property. If you want, smooth, friendly, professional...Please get Ed Rooney! He is now an incredible friend, Ed is absolutley someone you want in your corner, and as a friend!! I'am forever grateful for what Ed did for me. This is now our second time working together, Ed purchased my other sisters house in College Park, Md. I will get Ed a 1000 times if I could. I know for certain we will work together again. Thank You Ed, Angela, and the amazing team. Thelma NaultyPosted on Google![]()

I had a great experience with Quick Homebuyers! I needed to sell my mother's home due to her passing. Ed made the process smooth and easy. Ed was the first one onsite to meet with me at the home and was easy to talk to. I explained my problem and he solved it! He and his team followed up as often as possible and kept me informed during the process. I really felt that I was important to him in solving my problem, not just to buy the home. I recommend QHB,I to anyone facing the same situation. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

I recently had the pleasure of having Mr. Rooney sell my grandmotherโs home that was in probate for over four years. I owed a significant amount of money in back taxes, he paid the taxes and I was still left with a reasonable amount of money. Mr. Rooney and Angela Kim are responsible, professional and very accommodating. They worked very quickly to get the sale done in less than thirty days. I highly recommend Quick Homebuyers, they are the BEST!Posted on Google![]()

I recently sold my home and relocated. I was referred by a friend and was extremely satisfied with the process. Ed and his team are very efficient. I never felt pressured to do anything. The notary came to me, and I literally left my house twice to do something in regards to the process. They did everything they said they would and more. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you Ed and Angela!Posted on Google![]()

Quick Homebuyers went above and beyond to provide me a market value assessment and other property info I needed for my house. They responded quickly after my initial request and I spoke with real humans. Thank you Quick Homebuyers. I recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I called several companies to sell my late motherโs estate property and Quick Homebuyers was by far the most communicative. They competed again four other offers I received, and while I was negotiating with the other companies, I kept having to leave voicemails and almost never reached the owners. Two of those companies had answering services where I would have to leave a message with them, only to receive a delayed call back. I choose Quick Homebuyers because not only did they offer the best price and terms, but I felt more comfortable working with them. They gave me a fair cash offer range the same day I called and after they saw the property, actually offered me over than the higher number in their initial offer. They closed in a week as promised and let the tenant stay in the property for free after settlement while they helped her find her next home. That was their biggest selling point because I did not have to wait until she left to sell. They also paid for movers to move everything to her next home, which I thought was very admirable because I did not even find out until after the fact. Whenever I called for Ed or Angela, they were always available and never let my calls go to voicemail. One night I called around 11pm to leave a voicemail for Ed to call me in the morning, and to my surprise he actually answered. Every time I sent an email, I got response within 10 minutes. Their team was super easy to work with and Iโm very pleased with their quality of service. The process was incredibly stressful until they entered the picture and supported me throughout the entire process. Highly, highly recommend. He is the best!Posted on Google![]()

When I first contacted Quick Homebuyers, I was overwhelmed and under pressure. From our very first conversation, they took a huge weight off my shoulders. Every promise they made, they kept. They closed quickly, handled every detail of the sale, and truly went above and beyond what I ever expected from a home-buying company. They showed an incredible level of compassion that Iโll never forget. I was behind on my car payment, had a repair bill, needed a security deposit for a new apartment, and I had a once-in-a-lifetime trip planned with friends that I was about to cancel. Quick Homebuyers stepped in and covered all of it and even paid for my flightโsaying these would all be reimbursed at closing. But when the payoffs came in, I found out I actually had to bring thousands of dollars to the table just to sell the house. Instead of backing out, they told me not to worryโthey covered everything they had fronted for me, and they even paid the amount I owed at closing, just so I could walk away free and clear. On top of all that, they paid for movers to come in and assist in packing up my belongings, and move everything to my new apartment. I am so incredibly grateful that I made the decision to reach out to Quick Homebuyers. They are not just ethical and professionalโthey are compassionate, and they truly care about the people they help. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who is looking to sell their home, they truly do solve problems.Posted on Google![]()

I had to sell my father's house after he passed. Many buyers reached out wanting to purchase it. When Ed and his team contacted me he was more concerned that I did not get taken advantage of. He talked me through the process of how this will work and gave me valuable information making me feel at ease. I don't live in the same area as my father so moving all his things was going to be a huge under taking.Ed packed, shipped all of the things in the house that I wanted at no cost to me. He had a moving compay come pack all my belongings and ship everything to Georgia for free..The locks on the house had to be changed to get access to the house Ed paid to have new locks installed and did not charge me. They also deposed of everything in the house that I did not want for free! That saved me hundreds of dollars We settled on a price and closed quickly. Thanks Ed your a man of you word.I would recommend. quick homebuyer to anyone that has a home to sell.Posted on Google![]()

We never thought we would be drawn into needing help. Ed and his team showed us how easy this adventure would actually be. He visited in person on the very first visit and his team was here. The curtesy and professionalism to the follow ups after, they definitely know their business. I would recommend Ed Rooney and Quick Homebuyers with no hesitation, and they really do "solve problems". Thank you Mr. Rooney and staff. The Furr's
