Who Gets the Most Value From a Cash Offer?
A cash sale isn’t right for everyone — but for the right situation, it can be the best option available. Here’s who we help most:
Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
If you’ve received a Notice of Default, the clock is already running. Utah foreclosure is typically non-judicial: once a Notice of Default is recorded, there is generally about three months to reinstate, and a trustee’s sale can be held at least 20 days after the notice is mailed, published, and posted. Utah generally has no redemption period after the sale. Selling the home before the trustee’s sale can pay off the lender and end the foreclosure. See how we help Salt Lake County homeowners avoid foreclosure. Eric is not an attorney, so talk with a Utah foreclosure attorney about your specific options.
Inherited Properties and Probate Situations
Inheriting a property sounds like good news until you’re dealing with deferred maintenance, property taxes, insurance costs, and family disagreements about what to do with it. We handle inherited property sales throughout Salt Lake County — we work alongside your probate attorney, move at your pace, and handle the property side so you don’t have to. Eric is not an attorney; questions about probate and trust administration belong with a Utah probate attorney.
Divorce and Separation
When a marriage ends, the shared home often becomes the most contentious asset. A fast cash sale removes the property from the equation quickly — both parties receive their share of the equity, neither has to stay in the home, and you can move forward without months of uncertainty tied to a traditional listing. Follow the terms of your decree and your attorney’s guidance.
Landlords Done With Problem Tenants
Rental properties are great until they’re not. If you’re dealing with non-paying tenants, constant maintenance calls, or simply want to liquidate your investment, we buy tenant-occupied properties as-is. Call to talk through your lease and your timeline.
Homes That Need Too Much Work
Foundation issues, fire damage, water damage, outdated electrical — some homes simply cost more to repair than the market will reward. Rather than pouring money into a property that may not appraise, sell it as-is to Utah Close Fast. We buy houses in any condition across all of Salt Lake County — no repairs, no cleaning, no inspections required.
How Utah Close Fast Is Different From Other Cash Buyers
There’s no shortage of “we buy houses” signs in Salt Lake County. Here’s what separates Utah Close Fast from the rest:
Eric Is a Licensed Realtor and the Actual Buyer
Eric Douros is a licensed Realtor in Utah under Imagine Real Estate. On every Utah Close Fast purchase he is the actual buyer — no assigned or third-party contracts — and the contract states that he is buying with the intent to resell at a profit. You know exactly who you’re dealing with before you sign.
BBB A+ Rated, With Over 100 Five-Star Reviews Since 2015
Utah Close Fast has been in business since 2015, holds a BBB A+ rating, and has earned over 100 five-star reviews accumulated across Google, KSL, and BBB. You can read the reviews independently before ever calling us.
We Close With a Licensed Title Company — Every Time
Every transaction goes through a licensed Utah title company. The title company documents the sale, clears recorded liens, and handles your proceeds. Any cash buyer who doesn’t use a title company is a red flag — we always do. Eric is not an attorney; the title company handles the closing paperwork and you’re always welcome to have your own attorney review it.
