General
Why should I sell my home to Cash Offer Canada?
Cash Offer by Cash Offer Canada is the first of its kind in Canada. We make it easy and stress-free to sell your home quickly. There’s no need for inconvenient showings or open houses. Plus you have the flexibility of choosing your closing and move out dates, so you’ll only have to move once. We’ll provide a competitive, no-obligation offer within days and you’ll be on your way without looking back.
What makes the Cash Offer program different from selling the traditional way?
Traditional home sales involve a lot of uncertainty with no guaranteed offer. There are usually countless showings and open houses to worry about.

Since you can choose a closing date that suits you, you’ll avoid having to move twice or pay two mortgages at once.

Our Process
Does Cash Offer Canada send someone to assess my home?

Cash Offer Canada will typically make an offer within 48 hours of viewing your home. This offer is pending final inspection.

What if my home is already listed with an agent?
We cooperate fully with local realtors. However, if you’re working with an agent, we would be happy to work directly with your agent. You will be responsible to compensate your agent at closing from the sale proceeds. Simply provide your agent’s contact information in your offer request form.
How long does the process take from start to closing?
Since you’re in control of choosing your closing date, it’s really up to you. Cash Offer Canada can close the sale in as little as 7 days. If you need more time, we can work with a closing date up to 90 days.
