Sell Your House Fast in Portland, Oregon. Skip the Listing, Keep the Certainty.

We can close in as few as 7 days, or on whatever date works for your situation. The Portland traditional listing average is around 109 days on market before you even get to closing - and that doesn't count inspection contingencies, buyer financing falling through, or repair negotiations. With a cash sale, there's no lender approval timeline stalling things. You pick the date, we show up.

Closing in Oregon is handled by a licensed title or escrow company - not an attorney - so the process is straightforward and familiar to most Portland sellers.

You don't need to fix or update anything. We buy Portland homes exactly as they sit - deferred maintenance, outdated kitchens, damaged roofs, you name it.

Unpermitted additions and code violations come up often with Portland's older housing stock, especially bungalows and mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Lents, Foster-Powell, and Montavilla. We factor those into our offer honestly rather than asking you to resolve them before sale. You don't have to pull permits or hire contractors. We take the property as-is and handle the rest.

Yes - and this is one of the most common situations we work with from Portland landlords. Portland's just-cause eviction ordinance means you generally cannot ask a long-term tenant to leave simply because you want to sell. If you terminate tenancy without just cause, you may owe the tenant 90 days' written notice plus relocation assistance equal to up to three months' rent depending on tenancy length.

When you sell to us, you transfer the property with the tenants in place. We take on the lease and the landlord relationship. You don't need to issue notice before closing or come up with relocation funds out of pocket. It's a legal transfer of ownership that sidesteps the eviction process entirely for you as the seller.

Oregon uses a non-judicial foreclosure process for most home loans. After roughly 120 days of missed payments, your lender can record a Notice of Default and Election to Sell with Multnomah County. From that point, Oregon law requires a minimum 120-day notice period before the trustee's sale can take place.

That gives you a defined window - but it's not unlimited. Once the trustee's sale happens, there is no post-sale right of redemption in a non-judicial case. You can't buy your home back afterward. Oregon does offer a Foreclosure Avoidance mediation program that can extend the timeline if you elect to participate, but the window to sell and walk away with equity closes permanently at the sale date. If you're behind on payments and want to understand your options, the earlier you act, the more choices you have.

If the property was held solely in the deceased person's name, it typically needs to go through Oregon probate before it can be sold. The court appoints a personal representative who gets authority to manage and sell the property. Depending on the estate's complexity and whether heirs agree, this process can take months.

We work with personal representatives and heirs throughout Multnomah County probate sales regularly. You don't need to have probate fully resolved before talking to us - we can walk through the timeline with you and structure a sale around where you are in the process. Oregon does allow a simplified small estate procedure for qualifying estates under certain value thresholds, which can speed things up considerably.

Oregon requires most sellers of one-to-four family homes to provide a written Seller's Property Disclosure Statement covering known material defects - and this applies to cash sales too. Selling as-is doesn't waive the disclosure requirement. What it does mean is that you disclose what you know, and the buyer accepts the property's condition without requiring you to fix anything.

The buyer has a five-business-day right to revoke their offer after receiving the disclosure statement. We'll walk you through what to expect with this step so there are no surprises. For additional context on Oregon's disclosure requirements, the Oregon real estate selling guidance from Oregon Realtors covers buyer and seller rights in detail. You can also find answers to common seller questions on our main FAQ page.

Oregon doesn't charge a statewide real estate transfer tax on ordinary deed transfers, which is good news for Portland sellers. Standard Multnomah County recording fees for the deed and any reconveyances apply but are typically modest - often a few hundred dollars total, and frequently paid by the buyer or split by agreement.

The Portland Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) tax and Multnomah County's Preschool for All measure are income taxes, not real estate transfer taxes - so they don't create an additional charge on the sale itself. That said, if the sale generates a taxable capital gain, your overall income for the year could be affected. We're not tax advisors, so if you have specific questions about your capital gains exposure, talk to a CPA before closing.

National iBuyers like Opendoor or Offerpad run offers through automated valuation models. They can work in high-volume, uniform housing markets - but Portland's neighborhood-by-neighborhood variation (the difference between a Sellwood-Moreland bungalow and a St. Johns fixer, for example) doesn't always translate well into an algorithm. Their service fees often run 5-8%, and they pull out of markets or pause operations when conditions shift.

A local Portland buyer knows why a Foster-Powell home with an older foundation appraises differently than it lists, understands Multnomah County title quirks, and has a track record of actually closing. We don't hedge our offers behind financing contingencies or back out when the inspection turns up something unexpected. You get a real number from someone who knows this market, not a formula.

We buy throughout Portland, including Lents, St. Johns, Foster-Powell, Montavilla, Sellwood-Moreland, Laurelhurst, Northeast Portland, Northwest Portland, and Southwest Portland. We also cover the broader metro - Gresham, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, and surrounding communities.

No neighborhood is off the table because of housing age, condition, or price point. Some of our most common purchases are older bungalows and mid-century homes in inner SE and North Portland where repair needs or tenant situations make a traditional listing impractical.

We look at recent comparable sales in your specific Portland neighborhood, the property's current condition, and what it would realistically cost to bring the home to market-ready condition. We're transparent about that math - we're not trying to hide the fact that we factor in renovation costs, because that's why we can buy as-is and you don't have to spend money upfront.

The honest comparison isn't our cash offer versus your Zillow estimate. It's our cash offer versus what you'd net after 6% in agent commissions, $10,000-$30,000 in typical Portland repair and prep costs, and four-plus months of mortgage payments, property taxes, and utilities while the home sits on market averaging 109 days. When you run that math, the gap between a cash offer and a listed price is usually much smaller than it first appears - and sometimes nonexistent.

Oregon is a title and escrow state, not an attorney state. A licensed title or escrow company handles the closing - they coordinate the deed transfer, pay off any existing liens, collect and disburse funds, and record the deed with Multnomah County. You don't need to hire a real estate attorney, though you're always welcome to have one review documents if you want that peace of mind.

The process is straightforward and most Portland sellers find it less complicated than they expected. You'll sign the deed and a few standard closing documents, the title company confirms everything is clear, and funds are wired to you the same day or the next business day.
