If you need to sell your Calgary home quickly — without repairs, without agent commissions, and without uncertainty — Sell Home Express offers a straightforward alternative to the traditional real estate market.
How the Process Works: 3 Simple Steps
We’ve designed our process to be as frictionless as possible. Most homeowners go from first contact to closing in under two weeks.
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Property
Reach out to us with your property address and a brief description of the home. There’s no form to fill out, no account to create, and no fee of any kind. You can contact us by email or phone. We’ll ask a few basic questions — bedrooms, bathrooms, approximate year built, current condition — and that’s it.
Step 2: Receive Your Written Cash Offer Within 24 Hours
Our team reviews your property details and, when appropriate, schedules a brief walkthrough at a time convenient for you. The walkthrough typically takes 20–30 minutes. We assess the home as-is — no cleaning, no repairs, no staging required. Within 24 hours of the walkthrough, you’ll receive a written cash offer. The offer is clear, straightforward, and has no hidden conditions.
Step 3: Choose Your Closing Date and Get Paid
If you accept our offer, you pick the closing date. We can close in as few as 7 days, or give you 60+ days if you need more time to plan your move. We handle all the paperwork. On closing day, you receive your cash — no deductions, no surprises.
What Happens After You Accept the Offer
Once you say yes, here’s what you can expect:
- We handle title and legal paperwork — you don’t need to coordinate with a lawyer separately, though you’re welcome to have your own legal representation
- No showings or open houses — the deal is done, your home is sold
- You leave behind what you don’t want — furniture, junk, old appliances — we handle cleanup after closing
- Funds are transferred on your closing date — typically via bank draft or wire transfer
How We Determine Your Offer Price
Our offers are based on three factors:
Current Calgary Market Conditions
We monitor Calgary real estate values closely, including comparable sales in your specific neighbourhood. Our offers reflect realistic current market data — not inflated listing prices.
Property Condition and Repair Costs
Because we buy homes as-is, we account for the cost of bringing the property up to resale condition. We’re transparent about this — if you ask, we’ll explain exactly how we arrived at our number.
Location and Neighbourhood
Properties in target neighbourhoods like Marlborough, Forest Lawn, Pineridge, Dover, and Ogden typically receive competitive offers due to strong resale demand in those areas.
What Kinds of Houses We Buy in Calgary
We purchase a wide range of residential properties across NE and SE Calgary:
- Single-family detached homes
- Semi-detached homes and duplexes
- Townhouses (non-condo)
- Infill properties and lots with older structures
- Tenant-occupied rental properties
- Inherited or estate properties
- Homes requiring major repairs or renovation
We do not purchase condominiums or commercial properties.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Process
Is there any cost or obligation to request an offer?
No. Requesting a cash offer from Sell Home Express is completely free. There is no obligation to accept, and we will never pressure you. Many homeowners request our offer simply to understand their options.
Can I sell if my home has tenants?
Yes. We regularly purchase tenant-occupied properties and handle the transition process professionally in accordance with Alberta tenancy laws.
What if my home is in poor condition?
Condition does not disqualify your property. We have purchased homes ranging from well-maintained to significantly distressed. We price our offers fairly based on actual condition.
Do I need a real estate lawyer?
We handle the standard conveyancing, but you are always welcome — and encouraged — to have your own legal representation review the agreement before you sign.
