Glossary
Key terms for fast cash sale in Wilmington.
- As-is sale
- Selling your Wilmington home in its current condition. No inspection-driven repairs, no pre-list cleanup, no lender appraisal conditions.
- Net proceeds
- What hits your bank account after the loan payoff, Delaware transfer taxes, and any liens, not the headline offer price. Always compare offers on net, not gross.
- Title company / closing attorney
- Neutral third party that holds funds in escrow, clears title, and records the deed. Whether you use a title company or an attorney depends on Delaware custom.
- Cash vs. terms
- Cash = lump sum at closing, fastest exit, slight discount. Terms (owner financing) = higher total price paid over years, monthly income to you, slower exit.
