Why People Really Sell to a Cash Buyer (& Why That’s Okay)

Life doesn’t always wait for the perfect market. Sometimes people need to sell a house not because it’s fun, but because life shifted. At Highland Home Buyers, we’ve noticed the same seven reasons come up again and again. Megan and I call them the “7 D’s,” only one of many ways we can talk about why someone would want to do this. Here they are: death, divorce, disease, dependents, denial/default, debt, and departure (okay… that’s 8, but it still works!).

The reality is… None of those are easy.

One more thing I want to say: None of them make you a “bad” homeowner. And none of them should trap you in a property you can’t keep.

A traditional listing is great for people who have time, margin, and money for repairs and showings. But not everyone is there. Some people need privacy. Some need a quick closing. Some need to sell a house they don’t even live in. That’s where a direct cash buyer makes sense.

Over the next few posts over the next few weeks, we’ll walk through each of these situations and show:

• what usually happens

• where people get stuck

• and how we step in to make it simpler

If you’re already in one of these “D’s,” you don’t have to wait.
