Retiring or Downsizing? Sell Your Home for Cash

If you’re retiring or looking to downsize in Portland, Milwaukie, Gresham, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Salem, Corvallis, Albany, Eugene, Springfield, Vancouver, or Longview, Cascade House Buyers can help you sell your home quickly and easily. Many retirees find that their current home is too large or requires more maintenance than they want to manage. Selling to a cash home buyer allows you to simplify your life, access the equity in your home, and move on your own terms—without the delays, fees, and uncertainty of listing with an agent.

Selling to a cash home buyer like us eliminates commissions, closing costs, and hidden fees. Traditional real estate sales often require 3–6% in agent commissions plus thousands of dollars in closing costs, including title insurance, appraisal fees, and loan origination costs. When you sell directly to Cascade House Buyers, you keep 100% of your home’s cash value, with no deductions or surprises.

The process is also faster and simpler than selling on the open market. Homes sold through an agent can take months to sell, often with multiple showings, repairs, and negotiations. With Cascade House Buyers, we purchase homes as-is, regardless of condition. Whether your home needs repairs, updates, or has been vacant, we make a fair cash offer and can close in as little as 10 business days.

Homeowners across Oregon and Washington trust Cascade House Buyers to handle retirement and downsizing sales with transparency and professionalism. We buy single-family homes, townhomes, multi-family properties, and more, providing fast cash for homes in any situation. If you want to sell your home quickly, avoid fees, and move forward with confidence, contact us today for a no-obligation cash offer.
