It’s an exciting time in your life.
You finally got that promotion you’ve worked so hard for, or you’ve finally received your dream job offer. The only problem is you have to relocate as soon as possible. Now you’re faced with trying to sell your home while preparing for the biggest move of your life. Juggling two homes can be complicated and expensive, especially for a job relocation. I’m here to make the process as simple and easy on you as possible. I can buy your Portland home so you can relocate and move forward with the next chapter in your life! 

If you’re relocating from Portland for a new job or a role abroad, you don’t have the luxury of time. Buying a new home while you’re still paying on your previous residence can be stressful and create a financial crunch. You might not have time to update, list, and learn how to sell your home. I use my own funding and can close on your property in as few as two days. In most cases, I can close within a week or on your timeline, freeing you up to relocate as soon as possible.
Move forward with the next chapter without the stress of learning how to sell your house in Portland.
Aligning Your Sale With Your Move Date
The hardest part of a relocation sale isn’t the price; it’s the timing. A traditional listing can’t promise you a closing date, and a financed buyer can push your schedule back weeks if their loan slips. When you sell to me, you pick the date. I use my own funds, so there’s no lender, no appraisal contingency, and no financing that can fall through at the last minute. That means I can close in as few as two days, or line the closing up with your start date, your lease end, or your moving-truck booking so you’re not paying for a home you’ve already left. 

Already on a firm deadline? Whether a financial emergency is forcing a quick move or you simply have a report-by date, we work backward from your move, not from market conditions.
Avoiding the Cost of Carrying Two Homes
Every month your Portland home sits unsold after you’ve moved is money out of pocket - a mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and yard upkeep on a house nobody’s living in, often on top of rent or a new mortgage in your destination city. Those carrying costs add up fast, and they’re the reason a slightly lower cash price often nets out ahead of waiting months for a traditional buyer.
Roughly what a vacant Portland home costs to carry each month while it sits on the market:
- Mortgage principal & interest – varies by loan balance
- Multnomah / Washington / Clackamas County property taxes – prorated monthly
- Homeowners insurance (often at a higher vacant-home rate)
- Utilities, lawn care, and basic upkeep to keep the home showable
Portland homes averaged around 39 days to go under contract as of early 2026, with total time from listing to accepted offer averaging roughly 91 days.
A cash sale ends the meter. You close, you get paid, and you stop carrying a home you no longer live in.
Relocating for Work, Military Orders, or Family
Relocations come in different shapes, and each one has its own clock:
Corporate transfer or new job offer
A fixed start date that leaves little runway to list, show, and close the traditional way.
Military PCS move
Orders come with a non-negotiable report-by date, often only 30–90 days out. A cash sale converts the home before that deadline and can be handled with a power of attorney if you’ve already shipped out.
Family or personal move
Caring for a relative, a partner’s job, or simply a fresh start in a new city.
Whatever’s driving the move, the fix is the same: a fair cash offer and a closing date you control.
Cash Offer vs. an Employer Relocation Buyout
If your new employer offered a relocation package with a “guaranteed buyout,” read it closely before you sign. Many buyout offers pay a percentage of an appraisal within a fixed acceptance window - convenient, but often below fair market value. My offer works differently: no agent commission, no closing costs, and no months of carrying costs while you wait. Run both numbers before you decide.
How the Cash Sale Process Works
Selling on a relocation deadline is simple and fast. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Reach out
Call (503) 770-0145 or get your cash offer started today. Tell me about the property and your move date.
Step 2: I view the property
I’ll walk the property in person or make an offer sight-unseen if you’ve already relocated. No repairs or cleaning needed.
Step 3: Get your cash offer in 24–48 hours
Usually within a day. A fair, all-cash, no-obligation offer based on recent Portland sales and the home's condition.
Step 4: Close on your move date
Pick a closing date that lines up with your start date or lease end. A licensed, insured title company handles everything — no fees, no commissions.
Already Moved? You Can Sell From Out of State
You don’t have to be in Portland to sell. If you’ve already started your new job in another state, the sale can be handled remotely. Paperwork is completed electronically, and closing documents are sent for signature wherever you are, often through a mobile notary or the title company. You can hand over a house you no longer need to drive back to.
Why Sell As-Is for Cash vs. Listing Traditionally
When time and certainty matter more than squeezing out the last dollar, a cash sale removes the delays and costs of a traditional listing. Here’s how the two compare for a relocating Portland homeowner:
| Factor | Cash Sale (Me) | Traditional Listing |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | ✓ Close in as few as 3 days, or on your move date | Portland homes take roughly 46 days to go under contract, about 75 days from listing to closing |
| Commissions | ✓ None | 5–6% agent commissions (about $25K+ on a ~$495K Portland median-priced home) |
| Repairs & Prep | ✓ None — sold as-is | Repairs, cleaning, staging, and showings while you're trying to move |
| Certainty | ✓ Guaranteed close, no financing contingency | Risk of buyer financing falling through or an appraisal gap |
| Managing It Remotely | ✓ Handled electronically after you've moved | Coordinating contractors and showings from another state |

A Direct Buyer, Not a Wholesaler (Oregon HB 4058)
Oregon’s HB 4058 added protections for homeowners against wholesalers and misleading cash-buyer tactics, with the wholesaler registration and disclosure requirements taking effect July 1, 2025. It changes nothing about how I work, because I’m not a wholesaler. I’m a direct buyer using my own funds. When I make you an offer, I’m the one buying your house.
There’s no contract being shopped to a third party and no risk of the deal collapsing at the last minute while you’re trying to move. Ask me for proof of funds, and I’ll provide it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Tigard
Can closing be scheduled around my relocation date?
Yes. I work with your timeline and can close in as few as two days or align closing with your move-out date, lease end, or new-job start date.
What if I’ve already moved out of state?
The sale can be handled remotely. Paperwork is completed electronically, and documents are sent for signature wherever you are, often through a mobile notary or the title company.
Is a cash sale cheaper than carrying two homes?
In most relocation cases, yes. A fast cash sale avoids months of double housing costs - mortgage, taxes, insurance, and upkeep on an empty home - which typically outweigh any difference from a traditional sale price.
Should I take my employer’s buyout instead?
It depends on the terms. Many buyout offers pay a percentage of an appraisal within a fixed window. Compare that against a cash offer with no commissions, no closing costs, and no carrying costs before you decide - I’m happy to put a written offer in front of you so you have something concrete to compare.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house before selling?
No. I buy houses as-is, in any condition. Leave what you don’t want - no repairs, cleaning, or staging needed while you’re busy moving.
How fast can I get an offer?
Most offers are made within 24-48 hours of a property visit, with closings possible in as little as two days.
