From address to cash in hand, with nothing hidden in between
Here is the whole process, start to finish. It is short on purpose, because the people who call us usually do not have months to spare.

- 01Minute one
You send the address
Two short screens: where the house is, and how to reach you. Add anything unusual in the notes so Gary walks in informed. Nothing is owed and nothing is signed.
- 02Same day
Gary reviews the property
He pulls recent sales on your street, looks at condition and any title issues, and often drives by. If he needs to see inside, one short visit is enough. No open houses, no parade of strangers.
- 03Within 24 hours
You get a real number
Gary calls with the offer and explains how he got there: comparable sales, what the house needs, and the costs we absorb. Ask anything. If listing would net you more, he will tell you that instead.
- 04Your call
You choose the closing date
Accept, counter, or pass. If you accept, you set the date. Seven days if you need out now, or two months if you need time to pack and find the next place.

Quick answers
Are you going to list my house, or actually buy it?
Buy it. When you ask for a cash offer, Lee Real Estate Service is the buyer, not the middleman. Gary is also a licensed agent, so if listing would clearly put more money in your pocket he will tell you that too, and you can decide.
My house needs a lot of work. Is that a problem?
No. Condition is the reason most people call us. Do not paint, do not clean out the garage, do not fix the roof. We price the house as it is today and handle the work after closing.
How do you figure out the number?
We look at what similar homes in your neighborhood have actually sold for, subtract what the property needs, and account for the carrying and closing costs we take on. Gary will walk you through the math on the phone so nothing feels like a mystery.
Will I pay commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None of the three. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, and we cover standard closing costs. The offer you accept is what you walk away with, minus any liens or payoffs on the property itself.
