Whether your parent is moving to a smaller place, in with family, or into assisted living, Propcash buys the house as-is, for cash, on the schedule your family sets. The offer doesn't expire, and there's no rush to decide.
It's 100% free and there's no obligation. No spam or marketing.
Downsizing is rarely just a sale. It's a parent leaving a house they may have lived in for 40 years, a family choosing the right next place, and decades of belongings that deserve care rather than a deadline.
Often the person reading a page like this one is a son or daughter, not the owner: coordinating from another city, splitting calls with siblings, and trying to keep a big change gentle for the person at the center of it. Anyone in the family can start the conversation, and nothing moves until your family says it should.
As-is means the house can show its age. An older kitchen, carpet that has seen every grandchild, a roof on its last years: none of it needs fixing first, and nobody expects a house lived in for decades to look staged.
None of these steps has a deadline. Start when the family is ready, pause when it isn't, and let the move set the schedule.
Share the address, the condition, and where your family is in the move. The owner can start the conversation, or a son or daughter can. It takes a few minutes, and there's no obligation.
We build it from recent sales of houses nearby and show your family how we got to our number. Our offers don't expire, so the decision can take the time it needs.
Close before the move, after it, or months from now. We coordinate with the title company and follow the schedule your family sets.
It means the sale bends around the move instead of the other way around. These are the three shapes families choose most often.
Your parent settles into the new place first, without a sale hanging over the move. The house sells afterward, on a date the family picks, and nobody carries two changes at once.
Until then, the house can sit exactly as it is, with no showings to prepare for.
When it helps to have the sale settled early, a cash closing can often happen in as few as 7 days, so the proceeds arrive before the care bills do.
Closing doesn't have to mean a moving truck the next morning. In many cases, sorting time can be built into the schedule.
Plenty of families request an offer while the decision is still open. The number becomes one more piece of real information for the conversation.
Our offers don't expire, and we don't chase. If the plan changes, the offer adjusts with it.
One question comes up in almost every downsizing sale: who signs what. The owner on title signs, and when a parent would rather not manage the paperwork, a power of attorney that covers real estate often lets an adult child sign on their behalf. The title company reviews the document before closing, and requirements vary by state, so an elder law or estate attorney is the right person to confirm the details. If a parent has passed and the house now belongs to the estate, our page on selling an inherited house covers that path; many families face both within a few years.
We are not attorneys, and nothing on this page is legal advice. Consult your attorney about your specific situation.
Keep the things that matter: the photo albums, the good china, the chair that's going to the new place. The rest of the work can be ours.
A house lived in for decades holds more than a weekend of sorting, and nobody in your family needs a second job right now. Whatever remains after the move, from full closets to the garage shelves, is handled by us after closing, respectfully and without judgment.
That holds no matter how full the house is. If it needs a complete cleanout, our page on selling a very full house covers how we buy with nothing removed first.
As-is includes whatever contents your family chooses to leave.
When a parent and their children are weighing the decision together, the number can't be a black box. We show the reasoning so everyone can check it.
Recent sales of houses near this one set the baseline. Public data any family member can verify on their own.
Age, condition, needed repairs, and the contents staying behind. Nothing has to be fixed, updated, or emptied first.
Same offer, same reasoning, shown to everyone who asks. If the number doesn't work for your family, there's no obligation and no fees.
Maybe, and if we think so, we'll say so.
If the house shows well, the local market is active, and your family has time and energy for the listing process, an agent may net more, and we'll point you to a local one who fits. The trade runs the other way when distance, condition, or the move itself makes a listing heavy. A traditional listed sale typically costs sellers 5 to 6 percent in commissions plus 2 to 3 percent in closing costs, and takes 30 to 60 or more days from listing to close (National Association of Realtors).
A cash sale trades some price for certainty, simplicity, and a schedule your family controls. There's no rush to make that call, and our guide comparing cash offers and traditional sales walks through the math in more detail.
Yes. The owner, or someone authorized through a power of attorney or an estate, can sell the house as-is to a direct cash homebuyer like Propcash. The seller pays no fees or commissions, picks the closing date, and the title company pays the proceeds to the owner at closing, where they often go toward care costs.

There's no set clock, because you pick the closing date. Many families schedule the closing for after the move. If it needs to happen earlier, say so, and in many cases extra time after closing can be arranged. Anything still in the house at the end becomes our job, not yours.
Often, yes. A power of attorney that covers real estate generally allows the person named in it to sign sale documents on the owner's behalf, and the title company reviews the document before closing. Requirements vary by state, so ask an elder law or estate attorney to confirm that yours is sufficient.
No. Our offer is based on the house as it sits, contents included. Keep whatever matters to your parent and leave the rest where it is. After closing, the sorting, hauling, and donating are handled by us.
Then don't decide yet. Our offers don't expire, so your family can get a real number now and sit with it while you weigh the options. There's no obligation and no follow-up calls unless you want them. If the answer turns out to be an agent, or no sale at all, that's fine too.
No. As-is means the house can show its age. An older kitchen, worn carpet, a roof near the end of its life, or years of deferred maintenance don't disqualify it. The offer simply reflects the house as it sits today.
Yes. Many adult children coordinate a parent's sale from hours away, and the entire process can be handled remotely. Documents can often be signed with a mobile notary, and questions from any family member come straight to us.
Sale proceeds belong to the owner, and many families put them toward care costs. At closing, the title company pays off any remaining mortgage and disburses the rest to the owner. How that fits your parent's care planning is a question for a financial advisor or elder law attorney.
Sometimes, honestly, yes. If the house shows well and your family has the time and energy for repairs and showings, listing may net more, and if that's what we see, we'll tell you and point you to a local agent who fits. A cash sale trades some price for simplicity, certainty, and a schedule your family controls.
Tell us about the house. We'll make one cash offer, show your family how we got there, and then step back while you talk it through. The offer doesn't expire, and the move sets the pace, not us.
It's 100% free. No obligation, and no spam or marketing ever.
The Propcash Promise: our offer stands, we follow up on your schedule, and if a cash sale isn't your best move, we'll tell you.
