How it works
A direct path from your front door to a closed sale.
HearthSold removes the middlemen — no listing agents, no buyer's agents, no commissions taking 5–6% off your sale price. Just sellers and verified buyers, connected directly.
For sellers
1. Create your listing
Add property details, photos, and the situation behind your sale (foreclosure, inherited, can't maintain, etc.). Buyers respect honesty — and they're looking for as-is opportunities.
2. Set a fair as-is price
We show you comparable sales in your area so you can price competitively. As-is sales typically run 10–25% below traditional retail, but you save on commissions, repairs, and time.
3. Review direct offers
Verified buyers send offers with price, financing type, contingencies, and a proposed close timeline. Compare them side-by-side in your dashboard.
4. Accept, counter, or decline
You're in control. Accept the right offer, propose a counter, or wait. Once accepted, you and the buyer coordinate closing through a title company or attorney.
For buyers
1. Get verified
Upload proof of funds (bank statement, pre-approval letter). Verified buyers earn a green badge that sellers prioritize when reviewing offers.
2. Browse real listings
Filter by state, price, beds, and seller situation. Every listing is from an actual homeowner — no wholesalers, no fake leads.
3. Submit a direct offer
Make an offer with your price, financing type, contingencies, and close timeline. Sellers see all your terms in one clear view.
4. Close directly
Once accepted, work with a title company or real estate attorney to complete the transaction. No agent fees on your side either.
A note on legal & closing
HearthSold is a marketplace, not a brokerage. We connect sellers and buyers directly. The actual closing — title work, deed transfer, escrow — should be handled by a licensed title company or real estate attorney in your state. We strongly recommend consulting one before signing any purchase agreement.
