How Covent buys your home

It depends on the house and your timeline. If your house is move-in ready and you have time, listing it may get you a higher price. A cash sale to Covent fits when you would rather skip repairs, cleaning, and a buyer's loan and appraisal: Covent buys the house as-is, pays the closing costs, and closes on a day you pick 14 to 60 days out.

Covent's estimated offer starts from recent sales of similar homes nearby. Your photos or a visit show Covent what the house needs, and your final cash offer reflects that, plus what it costs Covent to buy, hold, and resell it.

Yes, after you sign the contract. You pick a 2-hour window on a weekday between 9 and 5, Covent confirms it, and an inspector walks through. You don't need to clean or fix anything first. Covent may visit again before closing.

No. Covent buys the house as it is today. Leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.

Covent pays the closing costs, including title and escrow fees. You pay off your own mortgage or liens and any realtor you hired under your own agreement.

As soon as 14 days. You pick the closing day, 14 to 60 days after you and Covent sign the contract, and you get paid at closing. Need more time to move? You can stay in the house up to 10 days after closing, free.

Covent Homes buys houses for cash, as-is, from homeowners in Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and North Carolina, and you sign the purchase contract with Covent. Covent may close the purchase itself or assign its contract to another buyer; your price and terms stay the same either way. Covent LLC, which runs Covent Homes, also makes software for real estate professionals; that is a separate business.

Sometimes. Covent may close the purchase itself, or assign its contract or resell to another investor buyer. Your price and terms stay the same either way, and the contract says so in writing.

No. Covent's offer is free, and your estimated and final offers are only offers. Nothing is binding until a written purchase contract is signed by you and Covent.

Look for four things. The buyer never charges you to make an offer. Every term is in a written purchase contract you can read before you sign. A title company or closing attorney runs the closing, pays off your loan from the sale price, and pays you the rest. And the buyer tells you up front if it may assign the contract to someone else. Covent does all four: the offer is free, nothing is binding until both sides sign, a title company or closing attorney handles your closing, and Covent says plainly that it may assign its contract, with your price and terms the same either way.
