How does BiggerEquity provide a solution for homeowners struggling to sell their houses through traditional methods?

"Why am I having a hard time selling my home?" If your problem is similar to this one, then, you may have tried to sell your house by yourself, put up a FOR SALE sign in your lawn, paid for ads in news publications, listed your property on platforms like craigslist, tried to sell your home through real estate agents who aren't very forthcoming, or maybe some prospective buyers have made you an offer but none of them ever followed through with the transaction.

Behind on payments with the bank circling. Eden's team paid off the mortgage at closing, gave us moving money, and never made us feel like we were in trouble. Professional from minute one.

Hurricane damage made our place unlistable. Three contractors quoted $80k+ in repairs. BiggerEquity bought it as-is for fair market minus the rehab — no nickel-and-diming. Closed in 9 days.

Tired landlord with bad tenants. They closed with the tenants still in place and handled the relocation themselves. I never thought I'd be done with that property — they made it happen.

Caveat emptor

Be careful which cash buyer you choose.

In situations where the need to sell your house quickly arises, various buyers and investors may attempt to exploit your circumstances. Lowball offers dressed up as “market-fair,” surprise inspection re-trades at the closing table, vague closing dates — predatory cash buyers know how to pressure a seller in a hurry.

Within this sea of deceptive buyers, there still exist genuine real estate firms like us, who are dedicated to fair pricing and transparent process. Always ask for proof of funds, ask how the offer math is calculated, and refuse to sign anything that doesn't name a real close date.

Frequently asked in Iowa City

Five answers we give every Iowa City caller.

Q1How fast can you close on my Iowa City house?
+
We close in as little as 7 days. Iowa City county closings typically use a designated title agent or attorney; we coordinate either at no cost to you.

Q3What's the typical offer on an Iowa City home?

We pay 65–75% of after-repair value minus our renovation budget. For a $300,000 median Iowa City home in good shape, expect a cash offer in the $195,000$225,000 range. The exact number depends on your home's condition, timeline, and repair scope.
