It depends on the method: cash buyers typically close in 7–21 days, iBuyers in 2–4 weeks, auctions on a set date, and traditional agent listings in 30–60+ days. Your preparation (title, disclosures, pricing) matters as much as the method.

Usually 70–85% of the home’s after-repair market value, minus repair estimates. The discount covers their renovation costs, holding costs, risk, and profit. Get 3+ offers — competition is your leverage.

No. In most states you must still disclose known material defects — ‘as-is’ means you’re not making repairs, not that you’re staying silent. Disclose fully; the buyer just can’t demand fixes.

Agent commissions (negotiable, often around 5–6% total), closing costs (roughly 1–3%), and possibly capital gains tax if you profit beyond the primary-residence exclusion. FSBO and cash sales change the mix but don’t eliminate costs.

Selling during divorce is common — the cleanest path is usually selling and splitting proceeds per your agreement or court order. Put the sale mechanics (agent, price range, cost-sharing) in writing before listing.

A lease generally survives the sale — the buyer becomes the landlord. Your options: sell with tenants in place (to an investor), negotiate a voluntary ‘cash for keys’ move-out, or wait for natural vacancy. Never attempt self-help eviction.
