The honest math, up front.
A cash offer on a Maryland house typically lands 10 to 25 percent under what the home would bring fixed up and listed, and what you get back for that discount is a sale with zero out-of-pocket cost. You pay no commission (a listing usually costs 5 to 6 percent), no seller closing costs, no repairs, and no cleanout, and you skip the 2 to 4 months of carrying costs a listed house burns while it sits on the market. We put an offer in writing usually within a day and close as fast as the title work allows, often within a few weeks, on a date you pick. Old Line Home Buyers buys across ten Maryland counties plus Baltimore City, and we are cash home buyers in Baltimore City rowhome neighborhoods too, and its principals are licensed Maryland real estate agents, so when listing would net you more, we say so. The line-by-line math is on the cost guide.
Three steps. No games.
Tell us about the house
The form below or a phone call. Either takes five minutes. Address, rough condition, and your situation.
Get a written cash offer
We look at the property, run the numbers, and put a no-obligation offer in writing, with every disclosure Maryland law requires, before you sign anything.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. A licensed Maryland title company handles the money and the deed. You walk away with cash and no house to worry about.
Whatever the house’s story is, we’ve bought one like it.
Inherited a house
Estates and probate are the most common calls we get. We work around the probate timeline, buy as-is with everything left inside, and you never make a repair.
Behind on taxes
A tax-sale notice has a real clock on it. A cash closing before the county’s sale date can protect the equity you still have.
Facing foreclosure
Selling before the auction usually beats losing the house at it. We move on the lender’s timeline, not a listing’s.
Tired landlord
We buy tenant-occupied properties, including ones with difficult tenants or expired leases. The tenant becomes our problem, not yours.
House needs too much work
Roof, foundation, fire damage, code violations, decades of deferred maintenance. We price it in and buy it as it sits.
Life is moving
Divorce, relocation, assisted living, downsizing. When the timeline matters more than the last dollar, a certain cash closing is worth a lot.
A cash offer is a trade. We’ll show you both sides of it.
A cash offer is below what a fixed-up house would bring on the open market. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What you get in return is speed and certainty at zero cost: no repairs, no agent commissions, no seller closing costs, no months of showings, and no deal collapsing over an inspection or a loan denial.
For some houses and situations that trade is clearly worth it. For others it isn’t, and when it isn’t, we’ll tell you listing is your better move. The principals of Old Line Home Buyersare licensed Maryland real estate agents; we know what the retail market would pay, and we’ll put that number next to ours.
Cash sale or listing, side by side
| Cost | Listing with an agent | Selling to us |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | Usually 5 to 6 percent of the price | $0 |
| Seller closing costs | Roughly 1 to 2 percent (your half of transfer and recordation taxes, plus settlement fees) | $0, we pay the standard costs |
| Repairs and prep | $0 to $50,000 or more on older houses | $0, sold as-is |
| Cleanout and staging | $1,000 to $5,000 typical | $0, contents can stay |
| Carrying costs while you wait | 2 to 4 months of mortgage payments plus taxes and utilities | Days to weeks, you pick the date |
| Price you get | Full retail, if the house is in retail condition | Typically 10 to 25 percent under fixed-up value |
The worked example and the county tax lines are on what it costs. When listing would net you more, we say so.
Central Maryland, corner to corner.
Ten Maryland counties plus Baltimore City, from Washington County in the west to Harford in the northeast and Charles in the south. Facing foreclosure, probate, a tenant, or a tax lien? We buy through all of it. If you’re nearby but not listed, call anyway. The answer is usually yes.
Straight answers to fair questions.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. We are the buyer, not your agent, so there is no commission, and we charge no fees of any kind. We also pay the standard seller closing costs. The written offer amount is what you receive at closing, less anything you owe on the property (mortgage payoff, unpaid taxes, or liens, which the title company pays off from the proceeds).
How do you come up with the offer?
We start from what comparable houses in your neighborhood sell for after being fixed up, then subtract the actual repair costs, our carrying and resale costs, and our margin. We show you the math. A cash offer is below full retail. The trade is a lower number for a fast, certain sale that costs you nothing, and if listing would clearly net you more, we tell you.
How fast can you close?
As fast as the title work allows, often within a few weeks of a signed contract. Just as useful: we can close slowly. If you need to stay through a school year or wait out a probate timeline, you pick the date.
Do I need to clean out or repair anything?
No. As-is means as it sits. Take what you want and leave the rest (furniture, junk, a full attic). We handle the cleanout after closing.
Are you real estate agents?
The principals of Old Line Home Buyers are licensed Maryland real estate agents, but in a purchase from you we act as buyers for our own account, not as your agent, and we confirm that in writing. The license means we can honestly show you what listing would net as the alternative.
