When you sell a house to Homvado, you submit your address and a few details, receive a cash offer within 24 hours, review how that number was built, and then choose whether to move forward. If you accept, you can close in as few as 7 days. There is no fee to get an offer, no obligation afterward, no repairs, and no agent commission.
That is the process. This post covers what actually happens inside each step, including the parts most companies leave out — what we look at, what we will not ask you to do, and where the honest tradeoffs are.
If you are comparing cash buyers, this should give you a specific standard to hold everyone to.
Before You Reach Out: What You Do Not Need to Do
Start here, because this is where most sellers waste time and money preparing for a conversation that does not require it.
You do not need to clean. You do not need to repair anything. You do not need to schedule an inspection, get contractor quotes, gather comparable sales, stage a room, or take good photos. You do not need to have decided anything.
You also do not need to have your paperwork in order, though having it helps later. The only thing needed to begin is the property address.
Step 1: Tell Us About the Home — Under 5 Minutes
You submit the address and a few basic details. That is genuinely the whole first step.
From there we may ask about condition, timing, occupancy, and whether anyone else is involved in the decision. These are not qualifying questions designed to filter you out. They are the inputs that determine whether a cash offer is even the right recommendation for your situation.
Nothing at this stage commits you to anything.
Step 2: What We Actually Look At
Six things. Knowing them upfront removes most of the guesswork about how your number gets built.
- Property condition — the home exactly as it stands today, including deferred maintenance, dated finishes, or structural issues.
- Your timeline — whether you need to close in a week or have several months of flexibility.
- Available equity — what is owed against the property versus what it is worth.
- Payment pressure — whether time-sensitive financial pressure is shaping the decision.
- Decision makers — whether this is a straightforward single-owner sale or involves multiple parties, heirs, or an estate.
- What matters most to you — speed, price, certainty, or relief. These pull in different directions, and knowing your priority changes the recommendation.
The full breakdown of how the process works walks through each stage in order.
Step 3: Your Offer Within 24 Hours
You receive a specific cash number, not a range.
Every offer is built from three inputs: the home’s current condition, its location and neighborhood demand, and recent comparable sales in the Central Florida market. You will see how the number was reached — that explanation is part of the offer, not something you have to request.
Because Homvado is based in Central Florida and works across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, and Volusia Counties, the comparable sales used are from your actual area rather than a metro-wide average. That distinction matters in a region where median prices run from roughly $335,000 in Kissimmee to about $540,000 in Winter Park.
What is deducted between the offer and your wire
This is the question sellers should ask every buyer. The Homvado answer:
- No agent commission
- No listing fees
- No closing costs charged to you as the seller
- No fee for the offer itself
Your outstanding mortgage balance is paid off from proceeds at closing, as it would be in any sale. Beyond that, the accepted number is the number you can plan around — and the answers on fees are published in writing rather than explained verbally and forgotten.
Step 4: You May Be Told a Different Path Is Better
This is the step that surprises people, so it is worth explaining plainly.
Homvado is cash-first, not cash-only. If reviewing your property indicates that a different route would leave you in a better position, you will be shown that instead — even though it means Homvado does not buy your home. That principle is the basis of why sellers choose Homvado in the first place.
There are five paths in total. You can compare all the selling options before you talk to anyone:
- Cash As-Is — fastest and most certain. Best when speed and simplicity matter most.
- Max Equity — for sellers with time, targeting a higher price with a small number of worthwhile improvements.
- List & Sell with Homvado — a guided market sale when the home can perform well on the open market.
- Payment Relief — for sellers under financial pressure who need to stabilize the situation first.
- Equity Income Program — for sellers with strong equity who prefer monthly income over a single lump sum.
Each has a tradeoff, and you should expect to hear it. More upside generally means more time, more preparation, and less certainty.
Step 5: Take the Time You Need
Requesting an offer does not commit you to anything. You can accept, choose a different path, or take more time to decide.
There is no expiring-offer pressure tactic, no follow-up campaign designed to wear you down, and no cost for having asked. Several of Homvado’s sellers have said the absence of pressure was the thing that stood out most — one Central Florida seller, Cindy Cruz, noted in March 2026 that she expected the process to feel rushed or salesy and it did not.
Step 6: Title, Paperwork, and Closing
Once you accept, the title company begins its search. Homvado handles the paperwork and coordinates the title work.
This step, not the offer, is what usually determines your closing date. Clean title with one owner moves quickly. Liens, judgments, open permits, unresolved probate, or boundary discrepancies add time — none are disqualifying, but all are worth disclosing early rather than discovering in week two.
You choose the closing date. As few as 7 days is possible, but so is 30 or 45 if that fits your move better.
Step 7: Closing Day
You sign. Your mortgage is paid off from proceeds. The remainder is wired to you.
You do not clean the property, complete repairs, or pass a final condition inspection. Anything you do not want to move can stay.
The Honest Tradeoffs
A cash sale trades price for speed and certainty. That is the deal, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest.
A cash offer will be below what a fully prepared home could fetch on the open market after several months of listing. What you get in exchange is a firm number, a closing date you control, no repair spend, no commission, and a buyer who cannot lose financing.
Whether that trade favors you depends on your situation. If your home is in good condition and you have three or more months of genuine flexibility, a listing will likely net you more — and you should expect to be told that. If the home needs work, the timeline is tight, or the situation is complicated, the arithmetic usually favors cash once you subtract Florida’s average 5.57% commission, roughly 3.28% in seller closing costs, average repair spend near $27,957, and the carrying costs of an Orlando-area listing that averaged 62 days on market in June 2026.
Situations Homvado Regularly Handles
If your situation sounds unusual, it probably is not:
- Homes needing significant repairs, including structural work
- Inherited properties, including those still working through probate
- Rental properties, including homes with tenants still in place
- Relocations with a fixed deadline
- Homeowners behind on payments or facing foreclosure pressure
- Vacant, unwanted, or burdensome properties
Property types include single-family homes, townhouses, condos, and multi-family properties, regardless of condition or age.
What Sellers Have Said
A few specifics from Homvado sellers, since general praise is not useful to you.
James T., May 2026, needed to relocate quickly with no time for repairs, listing prep, or repeated showings. Ed Williams, January 2026, had a rental property that had become more work than he wanted to manage and wanted the tradeoffs explained. John Arnold, September 2025, inherited a property and did not want months of cleaning and repairs. Mary Hoffman, August 2025, had fallen behind on payments and needed clarity more than a sales pitch.
Homvado currently holds a 4.9 rating based on seller reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Homvado process take from start to finish?
You receive an offer within 24 hours of submitting property details, and closing can happen in as few as 7 days after acceptance. Most sellers take a few days to review the offer, so a realistic range is 10 to 30 days total, depending on title complexity and the closing date you choose.

Will Homvado tell me if a traditional listing is better for me?
Yes. Homvado operates cash-first, not cash-only, and presents five different paths including a guided market sale. If the review shows another route would net you more, you will be shown that comparison, even though it means Homvado does not buy the property.
