How It Works
How Selling Your Charleston House For Cash Works
If this is new to you, that is normal. This page shows the full process from the first call to closing, so you know what happens, what John looks at, and what you do next.
The Cash Home Sale Process, Step By Step
The goal is simple: understand the house, understand your situation, make a fair written offer, and let you decide if it helps.
Tell John About The House
You start by sending the property address or calling John directly. You do not need a perfect plan before you reach out.
- Share the address
- Explain what is going on
- Tell John how soon you would like to sell
John Reviews The Property
John looks at the house, the area, the repairs, and the kind of closing timeline you need. This is not an agent listing appointment.
- No cleaning before the review
- No repairs before the review
- No open houses or public listing
Get A Written Cash Offer
If the house is a fit, you get a clear cash offer. John explains the number in plain language, then you decide if it works for you.
- The offer is free
- You do not have to accept it
- There are no agent commissions
Pick The Closing Date
If you accept the offer, you choose a closing date that fits your situation. Some sellers need speed. Some need extra time.
- Close quickly if the title is ready
- Choose more time if you need it
- Leave unwanted items behind if needed
Close And Get Paid
A local title company handles the paperwork. Once everything is signed, you get paid and John takes care of the cleanout, repairs, and next steps.
- The title company handles closing
- You get your money at closing
- John handles the work after closing
Sell The House As-Is, Then John Handles The Work
You do not need to fix the house before selling. Coast Haven Homes buys Charleston houses in the condition they are in now.
This is the part most sellers care about: you can sell before the work starts. No contractor calls. No repair budget. No cleaning out every room. John buys the house as-is, then handles the repairs after closing.

Questions Sellers Ask Before Starting
If you are comparing a cash sale with using agents, these are usually the questions that matter first.
Do I have to accept the cash offer?
No. The offer is free. You can say yes, say no, or ask more questions before you decide.
Do I need to clean or repair anything?
No. You can sell the house as-is. John factors repairs into the offer and handles the work after closing.
Who handles the paperwork?
A local title company handles the closing paperwork, verifies title, and makes sure the sale is handled correctly.
How fast can I close?
Some sales can close quickly once title is ready. If you need more time, John can work around your timeline.
What if the house has tenants or probate issues?
Reach out anyway. John can look at the situation and explain what options may be possible.
Will neighbors know I am selling?
No yard sign, no public open house, and no agent showings are needed for a direct cash sale.
