What Does "As-Is" Actually Mean When You Sell to Us?

It means exactly what it sounds like — you sell the property in its current state and we take it from there. Leaky roof, outdated electrical, a basement full of stuff you've been meaning to deal with for years — none of it becomes your problem before closing. We've bought properties in every condition imaginable across Alberta and we factor the work into our offer upfront. You don't spend a dollar or lift a finger before we close.

What Is a Cash Offer and Why Does It Matter?

When a traditional buyer makes an offer on your home, that offer is usually conditional on their bank approving the mortgage. If financing falls through — which happens more than people realize — the deal collapses and you're back to square one. A cash offer from Canadian Home Buyers has no bank involved and no financing condition. The number we put in front of you is the number that shows up at closing. No surprises, no last-minute renegotiations, no deals dying at the finish line.

How Quickly Can I Close?

After you provide details about your home, we can present you with a competitive, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, we can close the sale at a trusted local lawyer’s office in as little as 7 days—far faster than the typical 30+ days required when selling through a traditional listing.

How Fast Can This Actually Close?

Once you share your property details with us, we come back with a cash offer within 24 hours. If the offer works for you, we can close at a trusted Alberta lawyer's office in as little as 7 days. For context, the average traditionally listed home in Alberta takes 30 to 60 days just to find a buyer — and then another 30 to 60 days to close. Our process compresses all of that into a single week if that's what you need.

What If I'm Not in a Rush?

Then we work around your schedule. A fast closing is an option, not a requirement. Some sellers need 30 days, others need 90. We set the closing date based on what actually makes sense for your situation, not ours. You stay in control of the timeline from start to finish.

Are Your Offers Fair or Will I Get Lowballed?

We're not going to pretend our offers are the same as what you'd get after six months on MLS with a full renovation behind you. But fair doesn't mean low. Our offers reflect what the property is genuinely worth in its current condition, in its current market, with carrying costs and repair considerations factored in honestly. We walk you through how we got to our number so nothing feels like a black box. You'll understand exactly what you're agreeing to and why.

Is Selling This Way Legitimate?

Completely. Cash home buying is a well-established part of the Canadian real estate market and the transaction closes through a licensed Alberta lawyer just like any other property sale. Title transfers properly, funds are handled through trust, and everything is documented the same way it would be in a conventional deal. The only difference is it happens faster and with a lot less stress..

Do I Have to Pay My Own Closing Costs?

No. We cover your closing costs. Land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, adjustments — these expenses add up fast and most sellers don't account for them until it's too late. When we make you an offer, we factor all of that in so the number you see is the number you walk away with. No deductions at the table, no last-minute surprises.
