How Fast Do You Actually Need to Sell? Start Here
Before we talk about our process, it is worth spending a moment on your situation, because “fast” means different things and some situations have legal options that deserve your attention before you sign anything.
If a Sheriff Sale Date Is Already on the Calendar
Ohio foreclosure is a court-supervised process. Once a judgment of foreclosure is entered, the property is scheduled for a sheriff sale under ORC § 2329.26. That date is real, and it moves quickly once set.
Here is the important thing to understand: you may still have options even after a foreclosure judgment. Ohio law allows a homeowner to redeem the property before the sale by paying the full judgment amount (ORC § 2329.33). Separately, your loan servicer is required under federal law to consider loss-mitigation options — loan modifications, repayment plans, deed-in-lieu arrangements — and HUD-approved housing counselors in Ohio can walk you through those options at no cost.
We are not the right first call if you have not yet spoken to a HUD-approved counselor or reviewed your loss-mitigation options. Ohio’s Save the Dream program and HUD’s counseling network (hud.gov) exist for exactly this situation. If you work through those channels and a cash sale still makes the most sense — because the timeline is too tight, the equity is too thin, or the property condition makes retail listing impossible — we will make you a straightforward offer. You can also read more about how a sale works during foreclosure on our Ohio foreclosure sale page.
If Your Deadline Is a Move-Out Date, Estate Deadline, or Closing on Another Home
These situations are more straightforward. You have a hard date, you need to close before it, and you need a buyer who will not back out because a lender got cold feet or an appraiser came in low. That is exactly what a cash sale solves. Keep reading — the timeline below is for you.
If you are handling an inherited property or a probate estate in Franklin County, the situation has its own layer of complexity. Our selling an inherited property page and our probate house sale guide cover the Ohio-specific steps in detail.
What “Selling Fast” Honestly Means — Day by Day
We will not tell you every cash buyer closes in 48 hours — some will say that and then spend three weeks shuffling paperwork. Here is how our process actually runs for a Hilliard home, from first call to keys handed over.
Day 1: The Call
You call (937) 998-4239 or submit your address at wrighthomeoffer.com/get-a-cash-offer-today. We ask you straightforward questions about the property: what condition it is in, whether there are tenants, whether there are liens or title issues you are aware of, and — most importantly — what your timeline actually is. This conversation takes 10 to 20 minutes. There is no obligation attached to it.
Days 1-2: The Offer
We do our own research on the property — comparable sales in Hilliard and Franklin County, condition, repair scope — and we come back to you with a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours. The offer is a real number we are prepared to close on, not a teaser that changes after a walkthrough. We will never promise you a specific price before we understand the property, and we do not do that bait-and-switch. If we need to walk the house before finalizing an offer, we tell you that upfront and we schedule it immediately.
Days 3-14 (or Your Date): Closing
If you accept the offer, we open title with a local Ohio title company. Because we are paying cash — no lender, no appraisal ordered by a bank, no underwriting file — title work moves fast. For a straightforward Hilliard property with clear title, closing in 7 to 14 days is realistic. If your situation requires more time — you need 30 days to move, or the estate is still being probated — we close on your date, not ours. We write the closing date into the contract and we hold it.
You do not clean the house. You do not repair anything. You do not stage a single room. You show up at closing, sign, and receive your funds.

What Kills Speed in a Normal Sale — and How a Cash Sale Removes Each One
If you have ever sold a house the traditional way — or watched a family member try to — you know that the timeline slips in predictable places. Here is what those are and why none of them apply to a cash sale.
Repairs and Condition
A retail listing on the Columbus MLS requires the house to show well enough to attract buyers who are competing with every other home in Hilliard at the time. Agents routinely tell sellers to address deferred maintenance, update kitchens or baths, or at minimum deep-clean and declutter before going live. In a market where buyers have choices, condition matters to financed buyers who are also relying on an appraiser to confirm value.
If your Hilliard home has a roof that needs replacement, HVAC that is past its life, foundation concerns, or simply decades of wear that would require significant investment before listing, that repair period alone can add weeks or months before you even hit the market. We buy the house in its current condition. We handle the repairs after closing. That portion of the timeline disappears entirely.
Showings and Buyer Access
A standard retail listing runs showings for days, weekends, open houses. Sellers in distress — or sellers dealing with a tenant situation, a hoarder estate, or a home they have already vacated — often cannot or do not want to manage that access. With Wright Home Offer, the only person who sees the house before closing is us. One walkthrough (sometimes none, depending on condition), and the transaction is private.
Financing and Appraisal
This is the most common reason fast sales go sideways. A buyer who is excited on day one may lose their financing on day 30 because their lender conditions changed, their debt-to-income shifted, or the appraisal came in below the contract price. When that happens, you restart — new buyer, new inspection period, new appraisal, new waiting. In a situation with a hard deadline, a financing fall-through is not just frustrating, it can cost you the property.
We do not use financing. There is no lender, no appraisal contingency, no underwriting file that can be conditioned at the last minute. When we say we will close, we close.
Inspection Negotiations
Even after a buyer is under contract, Ohio home inspections regularly produce renegotiation requests — repair credits, price reductions, sometimes deal-killing discoveries. Each round of negotiation costs days. We make our offer based on a realistic assessment of condition. We do not come back after the inspection asking for a price reduction. The number in the contract is the number at closing.
Who Wright Home Offer Buys From in Hilliard
We work with Hilliard homeowners across a range of situations. You do not have to be in crisis to call us — you just need speed and certainty to matter more to you than squeezing the last dollar out of the market. Common situations include:
- Homeowners facing a foreclosure sale date and needing to close before it
- Families settling an estate or probate in Franklin County probate court
- Landlords with problem tenants or properties that have been poorly maintained
- Owners who have already relocated and are carrying a vacant property
- Homeowners going through divorce who need a clean, documented sale
- Sellers whose properties have fire damage, code violations, or deferred maintenance too expensive to address
- Anyone whose deadline simply does not fit a 60-to-90-day retail listing timeline

What Happens After You Call
We want to be clear about what you are and are not committing to when you call us. You are committing to nothing. The conversation is free. The offer, if you want one, is free and comes with no obligation to accept it. If you receive our offer and decide it does not work for your situation, you say no and nothing changes. We do not pressure, follow up aggressively, or run countdown tactics. If you want to think it over, think it over.
If the offer works, we move to contract and you choose the closing date. It is that simple.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Fast in Hilliard
Do you buy houses anywhere in Hilliard or just certain neighborhoods? We buy throughout Hilliard and Franklin County — established subdivisions, older ranch homes, properties near the Hilliard-Rome Road corridor, and everything in between. Condition and location do not eliminate you from consideration.
What if I still owe money on the mortgage? That is not unusual and it does not prevent a cash sale. The mortgage is paid off through closing out of the proceeds. If the amount owed is close to or above market value, that is a harder conversation and we will be honest with you about it — but most sellers with equity can close without complications.
Can you close fast if there are title issues? Title issues — liens, cloudy title from an estate, judgments — can slow closing, but they do not automatically kill a deal. The title company resolves most issues during the closing process. The timeline depends on what the issue is. We will tell you what we are seeing and give you a realistic picture, not a false promise.
What if I am not sure I want to sell — I just want to know what an offer would look like? That is fine. Call us at (937) 998-4239 or visit wrighthomeoffer.com/get-a-cash-offer-today. Getting an offer does not obligate you to sell.
