We have two ways to buy. Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale options and the written terms before choosing what works for you.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Idaho Falls seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Idaho Falls house as-is if it needs work?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and any timing or property questions you already know about.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and pick what works best for you.
How soon can I get a written cash offer, and when would closing happen?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company. The offer timing is not a property-specific closing date; title, payoffs, signing authority, and the property records affect when a sale can close.
What closing costs and deed fees apply in Idaho?
Idaho has no state real-estate transfer tax. A county recording fee applies when a deed is recorded, and the amount depends on the county fee schedule. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I call before I have every document ready?
Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about the condition, who occupies it, and your timing. You can ask a question while you are still gathering paperwork. You receive written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
Can I ask about selling while a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes, you can ask about the house while it is occupied. Share what you know about the lease, access, notices, and timing so the situation can be reviewed; the lease and occupancy details matter to a sale plan.
Can I sell my Idaho Falls house if it is in foreclosure?
Often, yes, if the sale can close before the trustee's sale. A lender can foreclose a deed of trust without going to court. The trustee's sale cannot happen until at least 120 days after the notice of sale is mailed. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. A contract to sell during a trustee-sale foreclosure must include a notice required by Idaho law; you have five business days to cancel, and no money or interest in the house can change hands until those five business days pass.
Can I reinstate a loan or have an Idaho trustee sale postponed?
Within 115 days after the notice of default is recorded, you can usually reinstate by paying the overdue amount and allowed costs and fees. Principal that would not be due without the default is excluded, but any amount already due still has to be paid. For a regulated lender's loan on your main home with a homeowner's exemption, a loan-change request form comes with the notice of default; if the lender gets it back within 30 days, the sale cannot happen until the lender answers. A trustee may postpone a sale at the lender's request by announcing it at the sale. Each postponement can be no more than 30 days, and it can be repeated. For covered primary-home loans from a regulated lender, the trustee must mail at least 14 days' notice before holding a postponed sale.
Can I buy a house back after a foreclosure sale in Idaho?
After a trustee's sale, Idaho law does not give the owner a right to buy the house back. If the lender forecloses in court instead, the owner can generally redeem within six months after the sale, or one year if the land is more than 20 acres.
