Cash Offers in Columbus, Franklin County
Columbus has a mix of housing stock, and that mix is usually what decides this. Newer homes in good condition tend to do well listed. Older properties with deferred maintenance — a roof at the end of its life, a furnace nursed through one more winter, a basement that has been taking water — often cannot be financed at all, because Fannie Mae and FHA both refuse loans on property in poor condition. When that is your house, cash buyers are not the cheaper option, they are the only option.
Whatever the reason, you are not going to be asked to fix anything, clean anything, or host a single showing.
Situations We Handle in Columbus
Every one of these has a full guide behind it — Ohio statutes, real timelines, and what actually goes wrong:
- Foreclosure or a scheduled sheriff's sale
- An inherited or probate property
- A rental with tenants in it
- Fire, water, or mold damage
- A house that needs more repairs than you want to make
- Back property taxes or liens
- A divorce or separation
- A vacant or abandoned property
If your situation isn't on that list, it is almost certainly covered on the main Cash Offer page, which walks through 33 of them.

What the Columbus Market Is Doing
Before you decide anything, look at real numbers rather than a national headline. Our Columbus real estate market report is updated from live MLS data, and you can browse everything currently for sale on the Columbus homes for sale page. If the market there is moving and your house shows well, listing may be the better answer — and we would rather you know that up front.
How It Works
- Send the address. Plus roughly what shape the house is in, whether anyone is living there, and your timeline. About a minute.
- We match it to a buyer who actually buys in Franklin County and in your situation, and you get a written, no-obligation offer — usually within 24 hours.
- You choose the closing date. Seven days or sixty, at a title company, with liens and payoffs handled from the proceeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I sell my house in Columbus?
Seven to fourteen days is realistic when title is clean and the property is vacant. The offer itself usually comes within 24 hours of getting the address and basic details. What adds time is almost never the buyer — it is probate that has not been opened, a title defect, an occupant, or a lien that surfaces during the title search.
Do I need to make repairs before selling in Columbus?
No. As-is means as-is: no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout, no lawn. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest. The cleanout is priced into the offer and handled at contractor cost rather than what it would cost you retail.
Are there fees or commissions?
No commission and no fee to you on the cash-offer path. You will still pay ordinary seller costs at closing — the Ohio conveyance fee, your prorated share of Franklin County property taxes, and any payoffs or liens against the property. If anyone asks you for money up front to produce a cash offer, walk away.
Will I get less than if I listed it in Columbus?
Usually somewhat less, and how much depends almost entirely on whether the house could be financed at all. On a home needing only cosmetic work the gap is wide and you are paying real money for convenience. On a home no lender will touch, the gap narrows sharply because there is no other buyer pool. We will show you both numbers for your specific property.
What if my house is in Columbus but I do not live in Ohio anymore?
Very common and not a problem. Ohio closings can be handled by mail or with a mobile notary, so you do not need to travel. You also do not need anyone local to prepare the house — there is nothing to prepare.
