Meet Eric Douros
Licensed Utah Realtor · Salt Lake County cash home buyer
When you call Utah Close Fast, Eric answers. He walks your house himself, writes the offer, and sits across from you at the title company. Licensed Realtor since 2008, buying Salt Lake County houses for cash since 2015. Written cash offer same day to 24 hours, close in as little as 5 days, zero fees.
Why Salt Lake City Homeowners Are Skipping the MLS in 2026
Many Salt Lake County homeowners who call us are not trying to list a house. They have inherited one, they are facing a foreclosure deadline, or the house needs more work than it is worth to fix. In those situations a traditional listing means repairs, showings, a buyer’s lender, and weeks of waiting. A direct cash sale from a local licensed Realtor skips all of it: a written cash offer same day to 24 hours, and a closing in as little as 5 days. Pick the situation closest to yours:
Inherited a Salt Lake County House, or Handling a Trust or Probate? Sell It Without Fixing or Clearing Anything
Inheriting a house you did not plan for is one of the hardest situations to sell from. Maybe you are the trustee splitting things fairly between siblings. Maybe the house is still in probate and nothing can happen until the court signs off. Maybe nobody in the family wants to make repairs on a house they did not ask to inherit. Meanwhile the carrying costs keep running: property taxes, insurance, utilities, and the risk of a vacant house sitting empty.
How an inherited, trust, or probate sale usually works
- The personal representative or trustee typically signs. The executor, personal representative, or trustee generally holds the legal authority to sell. Your attorney can confirm who that is.
- We work with your attorney and the title company. A licensed Utah title company handles the paperwork so it matches what the estate or trust needs.
- An offer can be in place while probate is still in progress. Closing then waits until the person signing is legally able to sell, and your attorney tells you when that is.
- All heirs get one price and one closing date. No negotiating over repairs, no open houses, no agreeing on paint colors. Proceeds are distributed as your attorney directs.
- You do not clean out the house. Take what matters to the family and leave the rest. We handle it after closing.
Out of state or overwhelmed?
Many inherited sales are completed with heirs who live in another state, and you do not need to travel to Utah to start. Call Eric, share the address and what you know about the house, and you will have a written cash offer, same day to 24 hours, to review with the family and your attorney. Learn how to sell an inherited property in Salt Lake County.
General information, not legal advice. Eric is a licensed Realtor, not an attorney. Ask your probate or trust attorney what your estate needs before closing.
Deferred Maintenance, Boarded-Up Houses, and Rentals You’re Done Managing: We Buy Them As-Is
A house does not have to be in good shape, or even lived in, for us to buy it. Buyers using FHA, VA, or conventional loans often cannot close on houses with major defects, because the lender’s appraisal and the inspection flag them and the repair credits buyers ask for add up fast. That is why so many of these houses sit, or fall out of escrow, on a traditional listing.
Vacant or Boarded Homes
Plywood on the windows, a code violation letter from the city, months of nobody checking on it. We buy these as-is, exactly as they sit right now.
Years of Deferred Maintenance
Old roof, outdated electrical, a furnace on borrowed time. None of that changes our offer process: Eric walks the property himself and prices the condition.
Landlords Who Are Done
Bad tenants, unpaid rent, a property manager who stopped calling back. We buy rentals with or without tenants in place.
Problems we buy with
- Original electrical panels and galvanized plumbing
- Aging roofs and worn heating and cooling systems
- Original kitchens and bathrooms from decades ago
- Foundation, water, or fire damage
- Heavy clutter or a hoarded home
- Code violations or a house that has sat vacant
What this means for your offer
We price the condition and take on the repairs ourselves. Our offer is lower than what a fully renovated house would sell for, and what you save is the repair bill, the commissions, the carrying costs, and the months. You do not collect contractor bids or negotiate inspection credits.
Facing Foreclosure in Salt Lake County? You Have Less Time Than You Think
Foreclosure filings are climbing. ATTOM’s mid-year 2026 report ranks Utah 10th highest in the nation for foreclosure rate, with 2,292 filings in the first half of 2026, up about 29% from a year earlier. If you have received a Notice of Default, the clock is already running. Utah foreclosures are non-judicial, which means they move on a fixed schedule without a court hearing. Here is the general sequence, so you know where you stand:
- Notice of Default is recordedThe trustee records the notice with the county. This starts the formal foreclosure process.
- About three months to reinstateUtah generally gives you three months from the recorded notice to catch the loan up. Your deed of trust may allow more.
- Notice of Trustee’s SaleIf the loan is not brought current, the trustee sets a sale date at least 20 days after notice is mailed, published, and posted.
- Sale dayThe sale ends your ownership, and Utah generally gives no right to buy the home back after a trustee’s sale.
General information, not legal advice. Eric is a licensed Realtor, not an attorney. Your lender’s letters and your deed of trust control your exact dates, so check them and talk with a Utah foreclosure attorney about your notice.

How a cash sale can stop it
If your home sells and closes before the sale date, the foreclosure never completes. The title company pays off your loan from the proceeds at closing, and whatever equity is left is yours. You get a written cash offer same day to 24 hours after you call, and you choose a closing date in as little as 5 days, so we can work backward from your sale date.
If you owe more than the home is worth
Tell us up front. A cash sale has to cover your loan payoff at closing, and we will be straight with you about whether that is possible instead of wasting your time. If it is not, a Utah foreclosure attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor can walk you through the other options.
Watch Eric Explain How We Buy Houses in Salt Lake City
No inspectors, no appraisers, no commissions, no fees. Here is how a cash sale works from the first call to a funded closing.
Eric explains how we buy houses throughout Salt Lake County.
Real Salt Lake County Houses We’ve Bought, Before and After
These are real Salt Lake County purchases. The sellers walked away with cash at closing and did nothing to prepare. The renovation work, the cleanout, and the carrying costs all became our problem the moment we signed.
The Condition We Buy Them In
Deferred maintenance, cluttered rooms, original kitchens from decades ago. This is the exact category of property we specialize in across the valley, and the condition is already priced into your offer.

Seller left everything, we handled the cleanout
Original kitchen, zero updates needed to sell
What We Turn Them Into After Closing
After we close, we renovate on our own dime and our own timeline. This is how we create value while you get speed and certainty.

How to Sell Your Salt Lake City Home for Cash: Three Simple Steps
No agents. No repairs. No open houses. Cash in hand in as little as 5 days.
Call Eric — Walkthrough Same Day If You Need It
Tell Eric about your Salt Lake County property: address, condition, timeline. He reviews it personally and, if a walkthrough is needed, schedules it right away. No obligation, no pressure, no cost.
Get Your Written Cash Offer Same Day to 24 Hours
Eric walks the property himself, once, and prices the as-is condition against current comps. You get a transparent written cash offer with no repairs, no agent commissions, and no closing costs charged to you.
Close on Your Date — Get Paid
You choose the closing date, in as little as 5 days or later if you need time. We close through a licensed Utah title company, and the funds are wired to you at closing.
We Buy Houses in Salt Lake City UT Without Inspectors or Appraisers
One person, one visit, one offer
In a traditional sale an inspector writes up a list, an appraiser separately second-guesses the price, and one or both may come back a second time. That is on top of showings, open houses, and strangers walking through your home. We do not send an inspector or an appraiser. Eric comes to the house himself, one time, and walks it the way he has walked Salt Lake County houses since getting his Realtor license in 2008. That is how he puts a fair number in front of you on that same visit, instead of a number that changes two weeks later.
Your closing runs through a licensed Utah title company
Much of the hesitation we hear is not about the offer, it is about not knowing who holds your money. Every deal closes through an independent, licensed Utah title company. That is a neutral third party, not us, that holds the funds, checks that the title is clear, and handles the paperwork so you get paid at closing. Eric walks you through every document in plain language before you sign, and you can have your own attorney review anything. Eric is a licensed Realtor, not an attorney, and does not give legal advice.

Selling Your Salt Lake County House: Cash vs. Traditional MLS Sale
Salt Lake County’s median single-family price was $645,000 in the second quarter of 2026, and those listings averaged 48 days on the market before going under contract. At a 5–6% agent commission, that is roughly $32,250–$38,700 on a median-priced house, before repairs, staging, or carrying costs. Utah Close Fast is the direct alternative: a local office and a licensed Realtor answering every call. See the full cash sale vs. MLS comparison.
| Factor | Utah Close Fast (Cash) | Traditional MLS Sale |
|---|---|---|
| Time to offer | Same day to 24 hours | Weeks of prep, then waiting for a buyer |
| Days to close | In as little as 5 days | 48 days on market on average, before closing even starts |
| Agent commissions | $0 | 5–6% of the price |
| Repairs required | None — as-is | Inspection and lender repair requests |
| Cleaning and staging | None required | Expected for showings |
| Buyer’s financing | None — cash buyer | A deal can fall through if the loan does |
| Who you deal with | Eric directly, every call | Agents, buyers, and strangers at showings |

My office is at 741 Murray Taylorsville Rd B, and I’ve bought houses for cash across the valley since 2015. I’ve also been a licensed Realtor under Imagine Real Estate since 2008, which means I’ve watched this market through nearly every cycle it has had. That long-term, street-level knowledge is what lets me price a house on one walkthrough, without an inspector or an appraiser. Every closing runs through a licensed Utah title company. Our BBB A+ rating and our five-star reviews (17 on Google, and over 100 across Google, KSL, and BBB since 2015) are all verifiable before you ever dial.

FAQs — Selling Your Salt Lake County House for Cash
How fast can I get an offer, and how fast can I close?
You get a written cash offer same day to 24 hours after you call. You choose the closing date, in as little as 5 days. We pay cash, so there are no bank appraisals or financing contingencies.
Will an inspector or appraiser come to my house?
No. Eric walks the property himself, one time, and uses his experience as a Utah Realtor since 2008 to make a fair cash offer on that same visit.
Can you buy a house that is in probate or held in a trust?
Yes. We buy from heirs, trustees, and personal representatives, and can put an offer in place while probate is in progress, with closing once the person signing is legally able to sell. Ask your attorney what your estate or trust requires. We are not attorneys, but we work with them and with the title company. More on inherited Salt Lake County property sales.
Do you buy vacant, boarded-up, or heavily neglected houses?
Yes. We buy vacant, boarded, and deferred-maintenance houses as-is, including rentals landlords no longer want to manage, with or without tenants in place.
I received a Notice of Default. How long do I have?
Utah generally gives you three months from the recorded notice to reinstate the loan, and once a Notice of Trustee’s Sale is issued the sale date is set at least 20 days out. Your lender’s letters and deed of trust control the exact dates, so check them or ask a Utah foreclosure attorney. Call Eric the day the notice arrives so we can work backward from your dates. See how to stop a Salt Lake County foreclosure sale.
What if I owe more than my house is worth?
Tell us up front. A cash sale has to cover your payoff at closing, and we will be honest about whether that works. If it does not, a Utah foreclosure attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your other options.
Who handles the closing paperwork, and where does my money come from?
Every closing runs through an independent, licensed Utah title company, a neutral third party that holds the funds and verifies clear title. Eric walks you through each document in plain language before you sign.
Will I get a fair price for my house?
We price on real comps and the house’s condition. A cash offer is below a fully renovated MLS sale. After commissions, repairs, closing costs, and carrying costs, the gap is often smaller than sellers expect, and you skip the work and the risk.
Selling a House Outside Salt Lake County?
We buy throughout the state, including Davis, Utah, Summit, and Carbon counties. Start with our statewide coverage and Eric will handle the rest.
