What areas do you serve in Utah?

If you're in a nearby area, contact us at (435) 224-6859 to see if we can help.
Can I sell my house if I'm behind on mortgage payments?
Yes! We specialize in helping Utah homeowners who are behind on payments. If you're facing foreclosure, we can often close before the foreclosure auction date, helping you avoid foreclosure on your credit report and potentially walk away with cash. Time is critical—call us immediately at (435) 224-6859 if you're facing foreclosure.
What does it mean to sell my house for cash, and how is it different from a traditional sale?
Selling your house for cash means a buyer, like Tru Home Buyer, purchases your property directly with funds readily available, without relying on mortgage financing. This eliminates delays from loan approvals, appraisals, or financing contingencies, allowing for a faster and simpler process. Unlike a traditional sale, which can take 45-90 days and involves real estate agents, showings, and repairs, our cash sale process is hassle-free, often closing in as little as 7-14 days. You sell your home as-is, with no need for staging, repairs, or commissions, saving you time and money.
How do you determine a fair cash offer for my home?
At Tru Home Buyer, we calculate a fair cash offer by evaluating your home’s current condition, size, location, and recent sales of comparable properties. We also factor in any necessary repairs or updates, which we cover after purchase, and local market trends. Our goal is to provide a competitive offer that reflects your home’s value while accounting for the speed and convenience of a cash sale. We’re transparent about our process and happy to walk you through how we arrive at your offer, ensuring you feel confident in its fairness.
Will I get less money selling for cash compared to listing with a realtor?
Cash offers may be slightly lower than traditional market offers due to the speed, certainty, and as-is nature of the transaction. On average, cash buyers pay about 10-12% less than financed buyers, as they assume repair costs and streamline the process. However, with Tru Home Buyer, you save on realtor commissions (3-6%), closing costs (up to 10%), and repair expenses, which can offset the difference. We aim to maximize your net proceeds while offering a stress-free sale, and you’re welcome to compare our no-obligation offer to traditional sale estimates.
How quickly can I close the sale and receive my cash?
One of the biggest advantages of selling to Tru Home Buyer is our fast closing timeline. Once you accept our fair cash offer, we can close in as little as 7-14 days, or on a timeline that suits your needs—whether that’s a few weeks or up to 60 days. We work with reputable local title companies to ensure a smooth, secure transaction, and you’ll receive your funds via wire transfer or cashier’s check at closing. Our flexible scheduling lets you move at your pace.
Can you help if my house is in a trust or probate?
Yes. We have experience purchasing properties in trusts and going through probate. We can work with your attorney or executor to facilitate the sale. The process takes a bit longer due to legal requirements, but we've successfully helped many Utah families sell inherited properties in probate situations.
Do I need to be present in Utah to sell my house to you?
No. We can handle remote closings if you've relocated out of state. We use secure online document signing and can coordinate with title companies to complete the sale without you being physically present in Utah. This is common for inherited properties or when sellers have already relocated for work.
Do you buy houses in any condition?
Absolutely. We buy houses in ANY condition including homes with foundation issues, fire damage, mold problems, no heat or plumbing, code violations, structural problems, and hoarder situations. If it has walls and a roof, we'll consider it. Since 2014, we've purchased 600+ properties throughout Utah in all types of conditions.
Do I need to make repairs or clean my house before selling?
No, you don’t need to make any repairs or clean your home. Tru Home Buyer buys houses as-is, regardless of condition—whether it’s outdated, damaged, or filled with belongings. We handle all repairs, clean-up, and junk removal after the sale, saving you time and expense. This is ideal if your home needs significant work or you’re unable to prepare it for showings, making the process effortless for you.
How can I trust that Tru Home Buyer is a legitimate and ethical company?
At Tru Home Buyer, we pride ourselves on our ethical, transparent, and compassionate approach. We’re a locally focused company in, with a reputation for fairness and integrity. You can verify our legitimacy by checking customer testimonials, requesting references from past sellers, or contacting us directly at our local office. We provide clear, no-obligation offers, never charge upfront fees, and work with licensed title companies to protect your interests. Our team is always available to answer questions and ensure you feel secure throughout the process.
Are there any hidden fees or costs?
Absolutely not. We believe in complete transparency, and there are no hidden fees, commissions, or closing costs when you sell to Tru Home Buyer. We cover all title fees, transfer taxes, and closing expenses, so the offer you accept is the amount you receive at closing. Unlike traditional sales, where sellers pay 3-6% in agent commissions and additional costs, our process is designed to maximize your proceeds and eliminate surprises.
What if I’m facing foreclosure, divorce, or other challenging situations?
Tru Home Buyer specializes in helping homeowners navigate difficult circumstances, such as foreclosure, divorce, inherited properties, or financial stress. Our compassionate team listens to your unique situation and tailors a solution to meet your needs, whether it’s a quick sale to avoid foreclosure or a flexible closing date to ease your transition.

How is selling to Tru Home Buyer different from selling to an iBuyer like Opendoor?
Unlike iBuyers who charge 5-6% service fees and require repairs after inspection, Tru Home Buyer charges zero fees and buys truly as-is.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué significa vender mi casa al contado y en qué se diferencia de una venta tradicional?
Vender su casa al contado significa que un comprador, como Tooele Homebuyer, adquiere su propiedad directamente con fondos disponibles, sin depender de una hipoteca. Esto elimina las demoras en la aprobación de préstamos, tasaciones o contingencias financieras, lo que permite un proceso más rápido y sencillo. A diferencia de una venta tradicional, que puede tardar entre 45 y 90 días e implica agentes inmobiliarios, visitas y reparaciones, nuestro proceso de venta al contado es sencillo y, a menudo, se cierra en tan solo 7 a 14 días. Usted vende su casa tal como está, sin necesidad de puesta en escena, reparaciones ni comisiones, lo que le ahorra tiempo y dinero.
How do you¿Cómo se determina una oferta justa en efectivo para mí?
En Tooele Homebuyer, calculamos una oferta justa en efectivo evaluando el estado actual de su vivienda, el tamaño, la ubicación y las ventas recientes de propiedades similares en Tooele, Utah. También consideramos cualquier reparación o actualización necesaria, que cubrimos después de la compra, y las tendencias del mercado local. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer una oferta competitiva que refleje el valor de su vivienda, considerando la rapidez y la comodidad de una venta en efectivo. Somos transparentes en nuestro proceso y con gusto le explicaremos cómo elaboramos su oferta, asegurándonos de que esté seguro de su imparcialidad.
¿Recibiré menos dinero vendiendo en efectivo en comparación con un agente inmobiliario?
Las ofertas en efectivo pueden ser ligeramente inferiores a las del mercado tradicional debido a la rapidez, la seguridad y la naturaleza de la transacción. En promedio, quienes compran al contado pagan entre un 10 % y un 12 % menos que quienes compran con financiación, ya que asumen los costos de reparación y agilizan el proceso. Sin embargo, con Tooele Homebuyer, usted ahorra en comisiones del agente inmobiliario (entre un 3 % y un 6 %), costos de cierre (hasta un 10 %) y gastos de reparación, lo que puede compensar la diferencia. Nuestro objetivo es maximizar sus ganancias netas a la vez que le ofrecemos una venta sin estrés, y le invitamos a comparar nuestra oferta sin compromiso con las estimaciones de venta tradicionales.
¿Qué tan rápido puedo cerrar la venta y recibir mi efectivo?
Una de las mayores ventajas de vender a Tooele Homebuyer es nuestro rápido plazo de cierre.

Nuestro horario flexible le permite avanzar a su propio ritmo.
¿Necesito hacer reparaciones o limpiar mi casa antes de venderla?
No, no necesita hacer reparaciones ni limpiar su casa. Tooele Homebuyer compra casas tal como están, sin importar su estado: si están anticuadas, dañadas o llenas de pertenencias.

¿Qué pasa si me enfrento a una ejecución hipotecaria, un divorcio u otras situaciones difíciles?
Tooele Homebuyer se especializa en ayudar a propietarios de vivienda a afrontar circunstancias difíciles, como ejecuciones hipotecarias, divorcios, herencias o estrés financiero.
