How Selling Your House to Gary Buys Houses Works
How does the process of selling my house for cash work?
It’s simple, and we handle everything. Here’s how it works:
- Call, text or fill out the form to tell us about your situation and your property.
- We meet, and I give you a no-obligation cash offer right away.
- Once you accept, the title company runs a quick title search, usually in 2 to 3 days.
- We close on your timeline. It can take a little longer if a mortgage or lien payoff takes extra time.

Is there any obligation when I request an offer?
No. There is never any obligation after we give you an offer. If you decide not to accept it, we part as friends, and I will never hassle you afterward.
Will you list my house on the MLS or actually buy it?
We actually buy it. We are professional, local home buyers, not listing agents. We buy houses all over Utah, from Logan to St. George, Ogden to Provo, and Salt Lake City to Tooele. After we buy, we may repair the house and resell it to a new homeowner or keep it as a rental.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
I’m a direct buyer, so I can close quickly no matter what condition your house is in. When you list with an agent, you go through showings, then inspections and an appraisal after you accept an offer, then repair requests and more inspections. You close only if the buyer doesn’t back out. That listing process usually takes 45 to 60 days, or longer if a buyer cancels. Compare listing your house vs. selling to an investor.
What if I decide listing my house is the better option for me?
We can help with that too. Call Gary Parker at (801) 382-9199 and I’ll refer you to an excellent real estate agent.

Cash Offers, Pricing and Fees
How do you determine the price you offer for my house?
We’re an open book. We look at four things:
- Location of the property
- Repairs that are needed
- Current condition of the house
- Recent sale prices of comparable homes nearby
From there, we come up with a fair price that works for you and for us, with a modest profit built in unless we can add value through repairs. You are never under any obligation to accept our cash offer for your house.
Do you pay fair prices for houses?
Yes. Many houses we buy are purchased somewhat below market value because they need a lot of repairs, need to sell fast, or the sellers need moving help, a rent-back option or money before they move. In most cases you can get a little more by listing on the MLS, if you don’t mind lots of people walking through your home and the extra time it takes. A no-obligation offer lets you compare both options before you decide.
Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to you?
No. There are no fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. The offer we make is the amount you receive, minus any liens against the property.
Do you offer rent-back options or access to my equity?
Yes. We offer rent-back options so you can stay in your home after the sale, and we also offer equity loans with no credit checks. Learn about our Sell Now, Move Later program.
Selling a House in a Difficult Situation
Can I sell my house no matter what condition it’s in?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, including land, meth-condemned houses, fire-damaged houses and houses with a failing roof. We also buy nice houses that just need carpet and paint, or that simply need to sell fast. Learn about selling a house that needs repairs.
Can I sell my house while in foreclosure?
Yes, and it’s typically easy to get the sale done. Things like major repairs, how close you are to the auction date and your moving plans can add obstacles, but we have options to help, including lending, a sale-leaseback and free rent. Learn more about selling your house in foreclosure in Utah.
Can I sell my house while in bankruptcy?
Yes, but time is the most critical factor. Even if your bankruptcy has been dismissed, you will usually need the trustee’s approval, which takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you are too far into the foreclosure process, there may not be enough time to stop it, so reach out as early as you can. Learn more about selling a house in bankruptcy.
Can I sell my house during a loan modification or forbearance?
Yes. We work directly with your lender to get the payoff amount, including any back payments, quickly, so you can sell while you are in a loan modification or forbearance.
Do you buy inherited houses?
Yes. If you’ve inherited a house you don’t want to keep, repair or manage, we can make you a cash offer as-is. Learn about selling an inherited house in Utah.
