Want Sold Now is the urgency door of the same cash desk behind I Can Buy Now. Different voice, same honest numbers. This page is for the seller who has already made the decision — probate, a job across the country, an inherited house you never wanted, a rental that finally broke you. You don't need to be talked into selling. You need a date you can plan the rest of your life around.

Why people call this door instead
The reason you're selling changes what "fast" has to mean.
I Can Buy Now talks about capability. Want Sold Now is about your clock. Here's what our urgent files actually look like.
Days-to-close vs retail
7 d
Retail median in these ZIPs is ~38 days to close after an accepted offer — and that's if financing holds. We're the short bar.

Share of urgent files, trailing quarter.
Certainty of close
Cash, as-is, date locked, no lender. 88% of the files we sign actually close on the day we said.
This door is built for you if…
You're settling an estate and the court, siblings, or a mortgage won't wait for showings.
You start a job in another state in three weeks.
You're a landlord who is done — tenant in place, deferred repairs, and all.
You're behind on payments and want a clean exit before it gets worse.
You simply don't have the energy for staging, open houses, and buyers backing out.
A divorce, a medical bill, or a second mortgage means the equity has to move now.
You're carrying two mortgages and every month of overlap is bleeding you.
Honestly, wait and list if…
Your house is move-in ready and you can give the market 45–60 days.
Nothing is forcing your hand — "curious what it's worth" is a CMA, not a fire sale.
You'd resent leaving retail money on the table more than you'd value the speed.
How fast is actually real
We'll say "fast." We won't say "magic."
Title work, payoffs, and estate paperwork take the time they take. Here's the honest calendar for a simple file — and where the delays really live.
You tell us the date
Address, condition, and the deadline you're up against. We start pricing immediately.
Written range back
An honest bracket built from as-repaired value minus real repair and hold costs.
Signed option
One walk, one plain-English agreement. Simple title means we can lock terms in two days.
Clean title → close
Standard payoff and search clears; we fund and you're done.
Probate / lien track
Court dates and lien releases add time. We tell you the honest range up front, never a fake "tomorrow."
Median time to first number
~2 hours on a complete file. The number itself, not a "call to schedule a call."
The single biggest delay is never us — it's title. We can't legally wire on a house we don't have clean title to, and we won't pretend otherwise.
The process, urgency edition
Five steps, built to remove decisions from your plate.
1 · Give us the deadline firstBefore condition, tell us the date you need to be free of this house. We build backward from it.
2 · Send what you canPhotos if you have them, a description if you don't. We don't need it staged; we need it honest.
3 · We price and commitA written range in hours, then a locked number after one walk. No retrade, no "the inspector found something."
4 · We do the paperwork legworkProbate coordination, payoff requests, lien research — we chase the documents so you don't have to.
5 · Close on your date, move onTake what you want, leave the rest. Funds wire the day we close.
Urgent, not desperate
Needing speed doesn't mean you get a worse number.
The same math runs behind both doors: as-repaired value, minus repairs, hold, and risk. Urgency changes your priorities — it doesn't give us a license to lowball.
Offer vs retail, same as our sister desk
72¢
We start near 72¢ on the ARV dollar and let condition move it — identical to I Can Buy Now. Speed doesn't shave the price; the repairs and the market do.

Your deadline

Probate timeline

Read that last two rows twice: your urgency changes the calendar, not the offer.
If a buyer tells you the price drops because you're in a hurry, walk away. Speed is a cost we absorb by moving fast — not a discount we charge you for being stressed.
What the urgency door adds
Six things that matter when the clock is loud.
We build from your deadline
Tell us the date first. We reverse-engineer the title and paperwork plan to hit it — or tell you honestly if it can't be hit.
Probate is a familiar road
We've closed enough estate files to coordinate with your attorney and the court instead of getting spooked by them.
Out-of-state made simple
Inherited a house you've never seen? We can walk it, handle the cleanout, and close with remote notarization.
Tired-landlord friendly
Tenant in place, back rent, deferred maintenance — we buy the whole situation, lease and all, and stop your bleed.
The number holds
No last-minute retrade when your back is against the wall. Once we lock it, it's locked.
One person, start to wire
You get a direct line to the same buyer the whole way. When the clock's loud, you shouldn't have to re-explain your story.
Where we can move fast
Six metros where we already have crews and title partners.
Same footprint as our sister desk — because speed only works where we already know the streets and the closers.

The probate file took 27 days — because the court did, not because we dragged. We spent day 3 through day 27 chasing letters testamentary, then wired the moment we legally could.
Days-used trend on urgent files
Rising line = we've been taking on harder, slower estate files lately — and still closing them.
In sellers' words
Two people who just needed it done.
"My mother passed and I live in Oregon. They FaceTimed the walkthrough, dealt with my mom's lawyer directly, and closed the week the court cleared it. I never had to fly out."
— Karen L., inherited property, Indianapolis
"Twelve years as a landlord and the last tenant broke me. They bought it with the lease in place, at a fair number, and I got my weekends back. No lecture, no lowball."
— Ray D., tired landlord, Greenville

Straight answers
The questions urgent sellers actually ask.
Can you really close in 48 hours?
We can sign a locked purchase agreement in about 48 hours on a simple title. The actual funding still needs a title search and payoff, which usually lands the close around day 5–7. Anyone promising you funded cash in 24 hours is skipping steps that protect you.
The house is in probate — is that a dealbreaker?
Not at all; it's one of our most common files. We coordinate with your attorney and the court, and we're patient with the parts that legally take time. We'll give you an honest date range once we see where the estate is in the process.
I'm behind on payments. Is it too late to sell to you?
Usually not, and the sooner you call the more room there is. If there's enough equity, a cash close can clear the arrears and stop the slide before it becomes a foreclosure on your record. If there isn't, we'll tell you and point you to better options.
There's a tenant in the property. Do I need to get them out first?
No. We buy with tenants and leases in place all the time. Don't put yourself through an eviction on our account — just tell us the lease terms and we'll price it in.
Do I get a lower price because I'm in a hurry?
No. Your offer starts from the same ~72¢-on-ARV math as our sister desk and moves with condition, not with your stress. Urgency changes the calendar we build, not the number we pay.
My siblings and I inherited it together — can you still buy?
Yes, this is common in probate. All heirs on title need to agree and sign, and if the estate is still in the court process we'll work on that timeline with your attorney. We can talk to one point person so you're not herding the whole family through every step.
What happens to my tenant after you buy?
We honor the existing lease. Your tenant keeps their agreement and simply pays a new owner; we handle the notice and the security-deposit transfer at closing. You don't have to be the one to have that conversation.
