Questions We Hear a Lot

A cash buyer purchases the house directly, with its own funds, instead of listing it for sale. With us it runs in three steps: you tell us about the property, we come out and give you a written offer with no obligation, and if you accept, a licensed Nevada title company closes on the date you choose. No loan approval, no showings, no agent commission. The trade is price: a cash offer is below what a well-prepared listing would bring, which is why we tell you when listing would serve you better. See how it works, step by step.

We can close in as little as 7 days, and we have done it in 48 hours when the title was clean and there was no mortgage or association to clear. A traditional listing in the valley takes a month or two to find a buyer and another month in escrow, and a financed buyer can fall through. With us there is no appraisal and no lender to wait on. If you need longer, you pick the date. Get your written offer.

Yes. Fire or water damage, code violations, a hoarder house, a dated kitchen, a bad roof, an unpermitted addition, a house full of belongings: we buy it as it stands. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. Whatever shape it is in, we handle it after closing. We buy across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, the county towns around them, and Boulder City. Read about selling as-is.

No. You are selling directly to us, so there is no listing agent to pay and no service fee. We cover the standard closing costs, including the title work, escrow and recording, and every dollar moves through a licensed Nevada title and escrow company. The number on the offer is the number that reaches you at closing, less whatever you still owe on the house. Compare the costs of listing.

A cash offer is below full retail; that is the trade for speed and certainty. Local cash buyers in Las Vegas, us included, generally land between 70 and 85 percent of what the house would be worth repaired, with nothing deducted for fees or repairs. The honest comparison is net dollars, not the headline price: a listing gives up an agent commission, seller-paid closing costs, repair credits and months of mortgage, taxes and association dues while you wait. National iBuyers show a higher headline number and then deduct a service fee and a condition adjustment. Ask us how we got to our number; you should be able to interrogate any offer, including ours. See the math side by side.

Then we will tell you so. A fully marketed listing usually nets more than a cash sale when the house shows well and you have time. Sellers choose us when condition, speed or certainty matter more, and we would rather lose a deal than talk you out of a better one. When a listing is the right move we point you toward agents we have had good experiences with, and we take no referral fee for it. Cash buyer or Realtor: which is right for you?

Before you accept, yes. If you think we missed something, show us and we will look again. After everyone signs, we do not reduce the price at our own discretion. If the contractor visit that follows signing turns up a material problem we could not have seen, we may propose a written amendment that spells out exactly what was found; what happens then is governed by the contract you signed, which sets out both sides' rights. We cannot simply announce a new number.

No. The call, the walkthrough and the written offer are free, and the offer carries no obligation. If you decline, that is the end of it. Start with your address.

Comparable sales near the house, its actual condition, what the work it needs would cost, and our own costs of buying and holding. We walk the property ourselves rather than pricing it off a screen. Ask and we will walk you through how we got there. What happens at the walkthrough.

The house in its current condition, full stop. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no last trip to the dump. Leave behind anything you do not want, furniture included, and we handle it after closing. More on selling as-is.

No. We buy the house with whatever is in it. Take what you want and leave the rest. You also do not need to move out before we look at it. You pick the closing date, so you can line up where you are going first.

We both sign a purchase agreement, and it goes to a licensed Nevada title and escrow company. Title searches the property for liens and anything else that has to be cleared and requests a payoff statement from your lender. You sign the closing documents in person, with a mobile notary, or by remote online notarization, which Nevada allows. The title company pays off what is owed and wires you the rest. We can close in as little as 7 days, and the date is yours to choose. The full timeline.

Yes. A mortgage is normal. At closing, the title company pays off your loan from the sale proceeds and sends you what is left. If you owe more than the house would sell for, tell us at the start. That is a different conversation, and your loan servicer has to be part of it. Behind on payments? Start here.

Yes. Liens, back taxes, unpaid association dues and fines are paid off through the title company at closing, out of the sale proceeds, so you do not pay them up front. An open code violation does not stop us from buying, and you do not have to fix it first. Bring any notices to the first conversation so we can read what they ask for. Selling with code violations.

Sometimes, but the clock is real. How much room you have depends on the notices you have received, your loan, the title and the scheduled sale date, and some deadlines in Nevada run out days before the sale. Contact your loan servicer, a HUD-approved housing counselor or a Nevada attorney right away; they can tell you which options apply to you. What we can tell you is whether we could realistically complete a purchase in the time you have. The Nevada foreclosure timeline.

Yes. The first thing to settle is who has legal authority to sign for the estate, because that can hold a sale up before anything else begins. A house can be priced and put under contract while probate is open, and the sale closes once the personal representative has authority to sell. We work with your estate attorney, and a Nevada probate attorney can tell you where your case stands. Selling an inherited house in Clark County.

Yes. Who has to sign, and how the proceeds are divided, is set by your agreement or by the court, so talk to your attorney before you sign anything. A direct sale gives you one firm number and one closing date to plan around, with no showings to keep the house ready for, and we work with both attorneys without taking sides. Selling a house during a divorce in Nevada.

Yes. We go to the property and walk it ourselves, so you do not have to travel. Closing runs through a licensed Nevada title company, with a mobile notary where you live or remote online notarization, and your proceeds are wired to your bank. If there are tenants, or the house has been sitting empty, tell us what you know and we will find out the rest when we visit. Selling from out of state.

Yes, we buy occupied rentals, including ones with difficult tenancies. We will need a copy of the lease, the current rent and the deposit balance. A fixed-term lease transfers with the property and we become the landlord; a month-to-month tenancy is handled after closing under Nevada notice rules. There are no showings, just one visit coordinated with the tenant. Selling a rental with tenants.

Yes. We buy houses with fire, smoke and water damage as they stand, including ones an insurer has already paid out on or declined. You do not need to remediate or get bids first. Bring any insurance paperwork to the first conversation so we understand what has been claimed. Fire damage.

Yes. You do not sort, clean or clear anything. Take what matters to you and leave the rest; we handle the cleanout after closing. We have bought houses nobody could walk through, and there is no judgment in it. Selling as-is.

Often, but the sale has to go through the court. In Chapter 7 the trustee controls the property and the sale is coordinated with them; in Chapter 13 you ask the court for permission to sell and we close once it is granted. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney first. We can hold a price while the approval is pending. Liens and what gets paid at closing.

Alex Buys Vegas Houses was founded in 2017, and our office is at 10624 S Eastern Ave, Ste A-150, in Henderson. We have bought more than 1,000 houses across the Las Vegas Valley. We are locally owned, not a franchise. Meet Alex.

The Las Vegas Valley: Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Paradise, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor and Whitney, plus Boulder City. We do not buy beyond that: the outlying parts of Clark County, including Mesquite and Laughlin, are outside our area. See a city page.

No. We are a property solutions company. We do not list homes, represent sellers on the MLS or charge commissions. When a listing is the right move, we say so and point you toward agents we have had good experiences with, and we take no referral fee for it. How we differ from a Realtor.

Yes. We are the buyer on the contract, we are insured, and we close with our own funds through a licensed Nevada title company. We are not agents and we do not list your house. Ask any cash buyer the same question, and ask for proof of funds before you sign.

Yes. Ask, and we will show you proof of funds before you sign anything. The purchase price goes to the title company, which pays off what is owed on the house and pays you at closing. A buyer who hesitates to show funds, or asks you to sign first, is one to walk away from.

Healthy skepticism is right; this category attracts predators. Judge any buyer by these tests: money moves through a licensed title company, nothing is charged up front, nobody asks you to sign the deed over outside a legitimate closing without written confirmation of how your mortgage and any liens will be paid, and nobody pressures you to stop talking to your own advisers. We meet every one of those tests. We are BBB accredited with an A rating, our Google reviews are on the homepage, and you can come to the office. How to vet a cash home buyer.

Two different paths. A listing markets the house to the widest pool of buyers and usually brings the highest price, in exchange for showings, repairs, a commission and two to three months. A cash sale trades some of that price for a firm number, no repairs and a closing date you choose. What you walk away with depends on the net, not the headline, and on how much the time and the work are worth to you. The comparison, side by side.
