Honest answers to the questions Edmonton homeowners ask us most about selling their home for cash.
All frequently asked questions about selling your Edmonton home
Our process is simple. Contact us by filling out our form or calling 780-888-8888. We ask a few questions about your Edmonton property, then schedule a quick visit or virtual walkthrough. Within 24 hours we present a fair no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, we work with a local Edmonton lawyer and close on the date of your choice — sometimes in as little as 7 days. You receive your cash at closing with no fees, no commissions, and no surprises.
We can close as quickly as 7-14 days once you accept our offer. Unlike traditional buyers who need bank financing — which can take 30-60 days — we buy with our own cash. There is no waiting for lender approval, no financing conditions, and no risk of a deal falling through. If you need more time, we are flexible and you pick the closing date.
Absolutely. We prefer houses that need work. Whether your Edmonton property has water damage, fire damage, foundation issues, outdated systems, a leaking roof, pet damage, or years of deferred maintenance, we will make you a cash offer. You do not need to fix a single thing. We handle all renovations after purchase.
We look at several factors: your home's location and neighbourhood in Edmonton, recent comparable sales in the area, the current condition of the property, the estimated cost of repairs and renovations needed, and current Edmonton market conditions. Average detached homes in Edmonton are selling for around $571,000 in 2026, but condition and location significantly affect value. We are transparent and explain exactly how we arrived at our number.
None whatsoever. Requesting an offer from Edmonton House Buyers is completely free and 100% no-obligation. You can hear our offer, think about it, compare it to other options, and walk away at any time. No pressure, no hard sell, no follow-up harassment.
Zero fees. Zero commissions. We cover all standard closing costs. The number we offer you is the number you receive at closing. The average Edmonton home seller pays 3-6% in realtor commissions plus closing costs — that is $14,000-$27,000 on a $450,000 home. With us, you keep every dollar of our agreed price.
Yes. This is one of the most common situations we help with in Edmonton. If you are behind on payments and at risk of foreclosure, we can often move fast enough to help you sell before the bank takes action. The sale proceeds pay off your mortgage balance and any arrears, protecting your credit. Contact us immediately at 780-888-8888 if you are in this situation — time is critical.
Yes. We regularly buy Edmonton properties with tenants in place. You do not need to evict anyone before selling to us. We understand Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act and work professionally and legally with all tenant situations.
We buy all types of residential real estate: single-family detached homes, semi-detached homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, small apartment buildings, mobile homes on titled land, acreages, and vacant lots. We serve Edmonton, Fort McMurray, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, and communities across Alberta.
This is called being underwater on your mortgage. We can still help. In some cases we can work with your lender to negotiate a short sale. In others we help you understand your options and connect you with the right legal and financial resources in Edmonton. Contact us for a confidential, no-pressure conversation.
Yes. Alberta law requires a licensed lawyer to complete any real estate transaction. We work with experienced Edmonton real estate lawyers and can connect you with one if needed. Lawyer fees are typically covered in the closing costs we pay.
With an Edmonton realtor, you list on the MLS and wait — typically 25-90+ days. You pay 3-6% commission, must make the home showroom-ready, go through inspections and negotiations, and risk deals falling through. With Edmonton House Buyers there are no showings, no repairs, no commissions, no financing conditions, and you close on your timeline.
Our primary focus is Edmonton and the Greater Edmonton Area — St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Stony Plain, and Morinville. We also regularly buy in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Red Deer, Camrose, Lloydminster, Cold Lake, and throughout rural Alberta.
Do not worry about it. You are welcome to take everything you want, but you are not required to clean out the property before closing. Leave furniture, appliances, personal belongings, junk — we will deal with it all after closing at no extra charge.
We encourage you to do your research. Check recent comparable sales in your Edmonton neighbourhood using tools like Realtor.ca or HonestDoor. Get quotes from multiple cash buyers if you like. We also explain exactly how we calculated our number so you can see our reasoning. An informed seller is a happy seller.
Yes, in most cases. Liens, judgments, and other encumbrances are typically resolved through the sale proceeds at closing. Our legal team and your lawyer work together to identify all registered interests on your Edmonton property and ensure they are addressed properly.
We buy mobile homes that are on their own titled land. If your mobile home is on owned land in Edmonton or Alberta, we would be happy to make an offer. For mobile homes in leased pad situations, call us and we will let you know if and how we can help.
No. Edmonton House Buyers are real estate investors who buy properties directly with cash. We are not licensed realtors and we do not list your home on the MLS. When you work with us you are selling directly to the buyer — no middleman, no commissions, no public listing.
It is easy. Either fill out the short form on this page or call us directly at 780-888-8888. We will be in touch within a few hours to learn about your property and situation. There is no cost, no pressure, and no obligation.
iBuyers like Opendoor are large tech companies that use algorithms and charge service fees of 5-8% on top of the purchase price. They also require the home to meet certain condition standards. Edmonton House Buyers is a local Alberta investor — we buy in any condition, charge zero fees, and are far more flexible on price, terms, and timelines.
