5 Ways to Sell Your Delaware House
Most buyers give you one offer. We look at five ways to sell and show you the numbers for each, so you can pick the best fit for your house, your timeline, and your finances.
The five options
Cash Offer
We buy your house as-is for cash and close on your date.
Option 2Fix & List
We handle the repairs up front and you sell on the open market with a licensed agent you choose.
Option 3Seller Financing
You sell to us at a higher price and we pay you over time, with interest.
Option 4Mortgage Takeover (Subject-To)
We take over making your existing mortgage payments. The loan stays in your name until it's paid off or refinanced.
Option 5Cash + Rent-Back
We buy for cash and you stay in the house as a renter while you plan your move.
How do the 5 options compare?
| Option | Best for | Typical timeline | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Offer | Houses needing major work, estates, foreclosure deadlines | 10–60 days (your choice) | Below full retail; no repairs or commission |
| Fix & List | Houses with equity that need cosmetic or moderate work | About 2–4 months total | Closer to retail, minus repairs and commission |
| Seller Financing | Free-and-clear homes, landlords who want monthly income | 2–4 weeks | Higher total price than cash; paid over time |
| Mortgage Takeover (Subject-To) | Owners with little equity who are current on their mortgage | 1–3 weeks | We make the payments; loan stays in your name |
| Cash + Rent-Back | Estates, relocations, anyone who needs time to move | 10–30 days to close; stay 1–3 months | Same as cash offer |
| List it yourself with an agent | Move-in-ready homes, no deadline | 1–4 months | Full retail, minus commission, repairs, and concessions |

What's the fastest way to sell my house in Delaware?
A cash sale to a direct buyer, as soon as about 10 days when title is clear.
Which option gets me the most money?
It depends on the house. With equity and only moderate repairs needed, Fix & List can net more than a cash sale. On a free-and-clear house where you don't need all the cash now, seller financing can bring a higher total price. For houses needing major work, a cash offer can be close to listing once repairs, commission, and time are counted. We'll run the numbers for yours.
Can I compare more than one option for my house?
Yes. Tell us about the property and we'll show every option that fits, with numbers for each.
What if I'm behind on my mortgage?
Call a HUD-approved housing counselor (800-569-4287) or DSHA's counselor line (888-363-8808) first. If a foreclosure has been filed, Delaware's free mediation program is (800) 220-5424. See our foreclosure guide.
