Guaranteed Offer FAQ: Everything to Know About Mark Spain's Cash Offers Program

By Mark Spain Real Estate

Whether you need to sell quickly, want to avoid the hassle of showings, or simply want to explore your options, Mark Spain Real Estate’s Guaranteed Offer program gives you the ultimate control over your home sale. You get multiple competitive cash offers from our vetted buyer network and can close in as little as 21 days.

Guaranteed Offer has been trusted by over 72,000 sellers and has earned more than 13,500 five-star reviews. Below, we've compiled answers to the most common questions homeowners ask about the program.

How does the process work?

The process is simple:

  1. Request your Guaranteed Offer through our quick online form
  2. We assess your property and create a video showcasing its features
  3. We market your property to our network of vetted cash buyers
  4. We present your offers within 2-5 days, and clearly lay out net proceeds plus any important offer terms
  5. Choose an offer and close as little as 21 days

Additionally, you have the option to sell your home virtually. We can conduct a virtual walk-through, explain all of your options, provide you with a free Comparative Market Analysis, and source the most competitive all-cash offers on the market.

Will I get multiple offers?

Yes, you'll typically receive multiple cash offers. Unlike other programs where you get just one offer from a single company, we market your home to our entire cash buyer network, who compete for your property.

Most homeowners receive between two and five cash offers, though some generate even more interest. Each cash buyer has a different strategy. Some are investors who focus on quick updates and resales, while others specialize in rentals or major renovations. This diversity increases your chances of finding competitive offers.

Are the offers competitive?

Our cash offers are designed to be the most competitive on the market. Because multiple buyers compete for your property, you receive stronger offers than with single-buyer cash companies.

With a Guaranteed Offer, home sellers usually get 75% to 100% of market value, compared to 50% to 70% with a typical We Buy Houses company.

“Our cash buyer network trusts Mark Spain Real Estate, and they trust our process. They know we’re giving them accurate information. So they’re willing to make higher offers for your home,” explains Chesley Lewis, Director of Sales at Mark Spain Real Estate in Dallas. “And then you’ve got an agent that can negotiate those offers on your behalf to make sure you're getting the best deal.”

Ultimately, the offer competitiveness depends on the market, property conditions, location, and your timeline.

What differentiates Guaranteed Offer from other cash buyer options?

Several key factors set Guaranteed Offer apart:

  • Multiple competitive offers instead of one take-it-or-leave-it option
  • Your agent advocates exclusively for you, and we never take referral fees from investors
  • You keep all your selling options, and if the cash offers don't work, you're ahead of the game for a traditional listing
  • Pre-vetted buyer network screened for reliability and ability to close on time
  • Transparent process with detailed explanations of each offer
  • Local expertise from agents who know your specific market

"It's a one-stop shop," says Jan Cooper, Director of Sales at Mark Spain Real Estate in Nashville. "When you come to us, you don't have to go on 55 other websites to source cash offers or have all of these different entities come to your house."

How do repairs work?

One of the biggest advantages of a cash offer is that you typically sell as-is with no repairs required. The buyer factors repair costs into their offer price, so you don't need to coordinate contractors or manage renovation timelines.

Some investors may request specific repairs or offer higher prices if certain items are addressed. Most cash offers include a brief inspection period (7-10 days) where buyers verify the property's condition. Your agent will explain the repair approach for each offer you receive.

How soon can I close?

You can close in as little as 21 days after accepting a Guaranteed Offer. This is significantly faster than traditional sales, which typically take 47 to 62 days to close, not to mention the time it takes to prepare your home for listing.

Many cash buyers can accommodate your preferred closing date within their range. Whether you need to close in weeks or want extra time to coordinate your move, our buyer network often provides timeline flexibility.

It sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

We understand the skepticism, but our program works because it benefits everyone involved. That said, there are potential tradeoffs with any cash offer program. You may exchange a potentially higher sale price for the speed, certainty, and convenience of cash. Many homeowners find these benefits worthwhile, while others prefer testing the traditional market first.

Overall, what makes Mark Spain Real Estate unique is how we minimize these tradeoffs. We work to get you the highest possible cash offer, and if that doesn’t work for you, we’re ready to list traditionally. We’re all about giving you options and being transparent throughout the process.

That’s why our Guaranteed Offer program has been trusted by more than 72,000 sellers and has earned over 13,500 five-star reviews.

Are there any program fees?

There are no program fees to participate in the Guaranteed Offer; however, certain buyers in our network may charge fees. Your agent will clearly explain all closing costs, fees, and concessions during the offer presentation.

What type of homes qualify for a Guaranteed Offer?

To qualify for a Guaranteed Offer, homes must meet the following requirements:

  • Single-family
  • Built after 1950
  • Valued between $50,000 – $1.5M
  • Located in our service areas
  • Owner-occupied or vacant
  • Non-distressed
  • Not bank-owned
  • Not in or near flood zones
  • No non-permitted additions
  • No significant foundation issues

However, your home doesn't need to be in perfect condition to qualify. Our network of cash buyers purchases properties in various states of repair, from move-in ready to homes needing updates. During your consultation, your Mark Spain Real Estate agent will assess your property and let you know if it qualifies.

Can I still sell if my home doesn't qualify for a Guaranteed Offer?

Absolutely. If your home doesn't qualify or the cash offers don't meet your needs, your Mark Spain Real Estate agent will help you sell through a traditional market listing.

Many homeowners use our program as a starting point, then list traditionally. This gives you a head start. Your agent has already assessed your property, taken photos, and gathered market insights. The Guaranteed Offer process doesn't delay your selling timeline, and you gain valuable information about your property's market position.

Our goal is to present all available options so you can make the best decision for your situation. Whether accepting a cash offer for convenience or listing traditionally to potentially maximize return, we support whichever path you choose.


Ready to explore your options?

The best way to understand how our Guaranteed Offer program works for your situation is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced agents. During this no-obligation meeting, we'll assess your property and help you understand all your selling options.
