What's going on?
Whatever brought you here, you're not the first
Many people who call us are dealing with something hard. You don't have to explain or justify it. Pick what's closest.
Falling behind on the mortgage
It's stressful, and it's more common than people think. If letters from your lender have started, time matters. Selling on your own terms can give you more choice than waiting for a lender's sale.
- Tell us your deadline and we'll say honestly if we can meet it
- Your lawyer pays off the mortgage from the sale on closing day
- We can often close quickly when time is short
Settling an estate
Dealing with a house after losing someone is hard enough. You don't have to clear out a lifetime of belongings or fix anything before you sell.
- Leave the furniture and belongings behind
- We work with the executor and the estate lawyer
- We can close after probate, when the estate is ready
Going through a separation
When a relationship ends, the house is often the hardest part. A cash sale gives you one clear price and one closing date, without months of showings.
- One written offer you can both review
- Quiet and private, with no sign on the lawn
- You can each have your own lawyer review it
Selling a rental with tenants
Tenants who won't allow showings or aren't paying can make a normal sale very hard. We can buy with tenants in place, and we'll talk through your situation first.
- Tenants can usually stay in place
- We only need one visit
- We go over the lease with you and your lawyer
A house that needs more work than you can take on
Roof, foundation, fire or water damage, or just years of wear. If fixing it isn't realistic, you can sell it the way it is.
- No repairs, cleaning or staging
- No contractors to hire or manage
- We show you how repairs affect the offer
Something else going on
Moving for work, a house that's become too much, or a situation that's hard to explain. You don't have to justify it. Tell us what's happening and we'll tell you honestly if we can help.
- Leave behind what you don't want
- Pick a closing date that fits your move
- No obligation to take our offer
How it works
Three steps, on your timeline
One conversation, one visit, and you pick the closing date. You can stop at any point. See the full process
- First
A conversation
Call 647-955-4277 or send the short form. You talk to a real person on our family team about the house and what you need.
- Then
One visit and a written offer
Jaz takes a look at the house once and gives you a written cash offer, with the numbers explained. No pressure to accept.
- Closing day
Sign, get paid, hand over the keys
Often within 2 weeks, or on the date you choose. You sign with your lawyer, and the money comes through your lawyer on closing day.
An honest comparison
Selling your Oakville house: cash or an agent?
Our offer will be below what a house in perfect shape gets on the open market. We cover the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. Here's what you get in return.
A cash sale usually makes sense if
- You need to sell soon, or on a set date
- The house needs work you can't take on
- You want privacy and no showings
- You're handling tenants, an estate or a separation
An agent is probably better if
- Your home is in great shape
- You can wait 2 to 3 months or more
- Top dollar matters more than speed or certainty
If that's you, we'll tell you, even if it means we don't buy your house.
What sellers say about working with us
I didn't want anyone on the street knowing that I was selling the house. These guys were discreet and respected my privacy. They helped me understand the process and gave me a fair offer. They were amazing to work with.
My husband got a new job in another city and we needed to sell our house in 2 weeks. We contacted Direct Cash House Buyers and they came over to give us a quote. They quickly made us a reasonable offer and process was so easy. I would highly recommend them.
I contacted Direct Cash House Buyers and Jaz came over to my house. He was very polite and professional. He gave me a quote and I accepted it. He guided me through the entire process since it was my first time. I am very happy with the service I received.

Will you list my house on MLS or actually buy it?
We buy it. We aren't real estate agents and we don't list homes. We buy houses for cash, then repair and resell them or keep them as rentals. We buy for ourselves, so we're not acting for you. You may want your own lawyer to review any offer.
How fast can you close?
Many sales close in about 2 weeks. If you need it sooner, we'll try, and if you need more time, we can close weeks or months out. You pick the date.
How do you decide on the offer price?
We look at recent sales near you, the home's condition, the cost of repairs, and what similar homes rent for. We walk you through the numbers so you can see how we got there.
Will your offer be lower than market value?
Usually, yes. We pay for repairs, holding costs and the risk of reselling, so we can't match the top price for a perfect house. You save on commission, repairs and months of waiting, and you know the deal will close. We show you how we got our number, and if listing makes more sense for you, we'll say so.
I'm already behind on my mortgage. Is it too late?
Call us as soon as you can. There's often still time to sell before a power of sale goes through. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help in time. A lawyer can explain your options too.
Can I sell if I have tenants?
Yes. Tenants can usually stay where they are, and we only need one visit. We'll go over the lease and what the law requires with you and your lawyer.
Will anyone know I'm selling?
We keep it private. There's no sign on the lawn, no online listing and no open house. Who you tell is up to you.
Do you really pay cash?
Yes. Funds come by bank draft or wire through your lawyer on closing day. Our offer doesn't depend on a bank approving a mortgage.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no commissions and no fees from us, and asking for an offer is free with no obligation to accept.
Do I need to clean up or fix anything?
No. Leave what you don't want. Just tell us ahead of time so we can plan for it in the offer.
What happens after I ask for an offer?
Someone from our family team calls you to learn about the home. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch. If it makes sense, Jaz books a short visit and gives you a written offer.
Can I refer someone who wants to sell?
Yes. Send us their name and number. If we buy their house, we'll thank you with a referral fee.
