FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most sellers have questions before deciding whether a direct cash sale is right for them.
Will CityLife buy a house that needs repairs?
Yes. The direct-sale process is designed for houses that may need repairs, cleanout, cosmetic updates, code work, or larger renovation planning.
Do I need to clean the house before requesting an offer?
No. Share the current condition honestly. The offer review can account for cleanout, repairs, and occupancy instead of asking you to prepare the house like a retail listing.
How fast can closing happen?
Timing depends on title, ownership, occupancy, and the property itself. If the fit is clear and title is ready, a direct cash closing can usually move much faster than a financed retail sale.
Is there any obligation after I request an offer?
No. The point of the form is to understand the property and see whether a direct offer makes sense for both sides.
What kinds of situations does CityLife review?
Inherited houses, vacant houses, tenant occupied rentals, houses with repairs, tax issues, foreclosure pressure, code concerns, relocation timing, and other situations where a standard listing may not be practical.
