Matthews Home Buyers Paying Cash

Matthews Homeowners: Get a Cash Price Without Listing

Owners in Matthews call us when they would rather skip the repaint, the photographer and the weekend showings. Carolina Easy Home Sales is a Charlotte company, so a house off Monroe Road or a few blocks from Trade Street downtown is close to home for us, and we will price it as it sits.

Matthews is a Mecklenburg County town on Charlotte's southeast side, with a compact old downtown that still feels like a small town.

Listing in Matthews vs. Taking Our Offer

Plenty of Matthews homes go under contract quickly, but a contract is not a closing. Buyers still order inspections, ask for credits and wait on their lender, and some deals come apart late. With us, the number you sign is the number you get, you owe no commission, and nobody hands you a repair list.

Matthews Houses We Will Make an Offer On

Before You List in Matthews, Consider This

Strong demand helps, but most buyers still write offers that hinge on a mortgage approval, an inspection, an appraisal or the sale of the house they already own. Each of those is a point where your closing can slide or fall apart.

Our purchase skips every one of them. No lender sits behind our offer, there is no inspection renegotiation, and the closing date on the contract is the one you picked. A North Carolina closing attorney handles the transfer.

Three Steps for Matthews Sellers

Call or write in. Use the form or dial (704) 235-3008 with a few details. Get the number. We walk through it and send a written cash offer, usually inside 24 hours. Close when you choose. Pick the day; the closing costs are on us.

Helping Matthews Homeowners

Situations Matthews Sellers Bring Us

We hear from Matthews owners moving for a new job, empty nesters ready for something smaller, heirs handling a Mecklenburg County estate, and people who do not want to update an older house just to list it.

■
Behind on the Mortgage

Before a Matthews home can be sold at a trustee's sale, North Carolina law calls for a foreclosure hearing with the Clerk of Superior Court. A sale to us before that date pays the lender in full, and leftover equity is paid to you.

■
A House From an Estate

If you inherited a Matthews home, we can agree on terms while the estate is still being settled through the Clerk of Superior Court, then close when the personal representative is cleared to sign.

■
Too Many Repairs

Aging HVAC, a tired roof, rotten decking or a damp crawl space is fine with us. The cost of fixing it is factored into our number, so nothing comes out of your pocket first.

■
Splitting Up

A divorce is easier when the house has a single offer and a known closing day. Both owners sign once, and nobody has to keep the home tidy for strangers.

■
Job Moving You Away

Transferring out of Matthews? Your moving date sets our closing date, which keeps you from paying two mortgages or managing showings from another state.

■
Finished Being a Landlord

Own a Mecklenburg County rental you no longer want? We buy it with the tenant still there, whatever the lease looks like, and handle that relationship once we own it.

Matthews Home Selling FAQ

Typically 7 to 14 days once the closing attorney confirms clear title, or later if you need more time. Because we pay cash there is no appraisal or loan approval to wait for, and we pay the closing costs.
No repairs are needed. We buy Matthews houses in the condition they are in: dated kitchens, roof leaks, foundation cracks, mold or a house still full of furniture. You can leave behind whatever you do not want.
None. We charge no fees, there is no agent to pay, and we pay the closing costs. Other than any mortgage or lien payoff, you receive the contract price.
Yes. We purchase Mecklenburg County rentals with the tenants in place, whether rent is current or behind, and we take on the lease after closing. You do not need to get anyone to move out.
