| Cash Flow Deals | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline in Portland | Written Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer for you to compare; you help pick the closing date | ~39 days to contract in a buyer's market, then 30-45 more days to close |
| Repairs | Fast Cash Offer: sell as-is. Premium Cash Offer: only lender-required repairs, with costs covered and settled from sale proceeds; nothing out of your pocket | Buyer inspection often triggers repair requests or credits |
| Fees | Fast Cash Offer: no listing commission. Premium Cash Offer: paid as a separate line item on the closing statement | 5-6% agent commission plus 1-3% seller closing costs |
| Certainty | The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. | Sale price depends on buyer financing, inspection, and negotiation |
Portland's Market, in Three Real Numbers
Portland homes are taking about 39 days on average to reach a signed contract, in a buyer's market carrying 3.6 months of housing supply, per Opendoor's own Portland page. Prices were down 2.9% year over year, with 39% of active listings already carrying a price cut -- real signs of a market that currently favors buyers, not sellers.
Many Portland homes are older craftsman and mid-century houses that carry real deferred maintenance, which the same page notes makes inspection negotiations especially common here.
The One Disclosure Every Oregon Seller Has to Deal With
Oregon Revised Statute 105.464 requires every seller of covered residential property to deliver a written property disclosure statement to any buyer who makes a written offer. Under ORS 105.475, a buyer can revoke that offer before closing if the disclosure was never provided -- a real legal exposure, not a formality.
Cash Flow Deals reviews your Portland property directly, disclosure included, so you can compare your Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.
Cash Flow Deals' Process: 3 Steps
1. Cash Flow Deals reviews your property details directly and gives you two written offers: the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. You choose.
2. With Cash Flow Deals, we cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. For Premium, only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with repair costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share. For Fast Cash, you sell as-is without making repairs. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.
3. You help pick the closing date. Funds move at closing; the Premium buyer's lender funds their purchase. If the buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still choose the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of the Premium Cash Offer.
Common questions
Is Portland currently a buyer's or seller's market?
Real market data shows 3.6 months of housing supply and prices down 2.9% year over year, both signs of a buyer's market as of the most recent data.
How does the Premium Cash Offer work?
You choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where Cash Flow Deals buys your house as-is and closes, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. For Premium, you sign with us at an agreed number and give us permission to bring in a buyer in our place. That buyer signs a new contract directly with you, title transfers directly from you to them, and their lender funds the purchase. We are paid as a separate line item on the closing statement. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.
What if something's wrong with the house nobody could see before the offer?
The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed - foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure - we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.

What this means for your options
Every path to selling a house has real tradeoffs.
Wait and see
Keep the property as-is and hope conditions improve. The mortgage, insurance, and upkeep keep costing money while you wait, with no set date for things to turn around.
List with a traditional agent
Standard MLS listing, typically 5-6% in commission, and a financed buyer whose deal depends on appraisal, inspection, and lender approval — any of which can fall through after weeks on market.
Sell to Cash Flow Deals
Two offers for your house, Fast Cash or Premium Cash, and you choose. Cash: Cash Flow Deals buys the house as-is and closes. Premium: More money. A pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have buys directly from you.
