What is the $1,200 moving assistance?
When you sell your house for cash to us, we’ll put up to $1,200 toward your move. It’s one of our written commitments, along with the 24-hour offer and the four-path comparison. It exists because moving costs money, and a lot of the people who sell to us are moving on short notice.
Here’s exactly who qualifies, what it covers and how it’s paid.
Who qualifies
- Cash sales to us. If we buy your house for cash, you qualify.
- Not listings. If Ryan lists your house on the MLS, moving assistance doesn’t apply.
- Not creative deals or refi referrals. Those paths have their own terms.
That’s it. No income test, no requirement that you move out of state, no fine print about which movers you use.
What it covers
| Covered | Examples |
|---|---|
| Movers | A local moving company, hourly crew |
| Truck rental | A rental truck, trailer, gas |
| Storage | A storage unit for the first months |
| Moving supplies | Boxes, tape, blankets |
Up to $1,200 total. If your move costs less, the assistance is capped at your actual cost or the amount in your offer, whichever your written offer states.
How and when it’s paid
The amount and payment method are written into your offer, so there’s no guessing. Ryan confirms them before you sign. It can be handled at closing or as your offer states. If you need it before moving day, ask Ryan. We’ll tell you what’s possible for your situation.
What if I need to stay a few days after closing?
You pick the closing date, and we can often agree on a short stay after closing. That goes in writing in the purchase agreement too. Many sellers use the moving assistance plus a few extra days to move without paying for a hotel.
Do I have to move everything out?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. The cleanout is on us, and it’s priced into the offer. Many sellers use the assistance to move only the things that matter and skip hauling the rest. See what you can leave behind.
A few real-world examples
Here’s how the moving assistance tends to play out for the sellers we talk to:
- An heir clearing a parent’s house from out of state. They take a carload of photos and heirlooms, ship a few boxes, and leave the rest for our cleanout. The assistance covers the shipping and a small storage unit for the pieces they want to keep until they decide.
- A family facing a sheriff’s sale date. They need to be out on a firm date and can’t afford a moving company on top of everything else. The assistance pays a two-person crew and a truck for a morning.
- A landlord selling with a tenant in place. The landlord isn’t moving at all, so there’s nothing to cover. Moving assistance is for the seller’s own move.
- An older couple moving into assisted living. They move a bedroom set and a recliner. The assistance covers the movers, and the rest of the house stays for the cleanout.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need receipts? | Ryan confirms what’s needed in your written offer |
| Can a family member’s truck count? | Rental trucks and gas count; ask Ryan about your plan |
| Does it reduce my offer? | No, it’s on top of the cash price |
| Does it change if I close later? | No, the cap stays up to $1,200 on cash sales |
Why we offer it
Because a fair offer is more than a number. A seller facing a sheriff’s sale date, or an heir clearing out a parent’s house from another state, needs the move to actually happen. Up to $1,200 is a small, concrete piece of that. We’d rather put it in writing than promise vague “help.”
