Local know-how

Selling a house in Maryland: what to know

Maryland's market follows the I-95 corridor. Montgomery and Prince George's counties track the Washington, D.C. job market, Howard and Anne Arundel counties sit between D.C. and Baltimore, and Baltimore City has thousands of rowhomes ranging from fully renovated to vacant shells. Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore are smaller, slower markets.

Baltimore City and several counties have their own rules for sellers and landlords, such as rental licensing and Baltimore's vacant building notices. Ground rent, a Maryland oddity, still applies to some older Baltimore-area homes and is settled at closing.

  • Rowhome repairs

    Party walls, flat roofs, old plumbing and sewer lines are common repair items in Baltimore rowhomes. We buy them as they stand.

  • Ground rent

    Some older homes owe a small annual ground rent to a ground-rent holder. It's normally handled at closing; tell us if you receive a bill.

  • Lead paint and rentals

    Maryland requires pre-1978 rental units to be registered and inspected for lead. Landlords can sell those units to us as-is.

  • Vacant building notices

    We buy Baltimore houses with open vacant building notices, code violations and city liens.

How it works

How to sell your Maryland house for cash

Three steps from first contact to closing, wherever the property is in Maryland.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the property

    Share the address, the property type and the best way to reach you. It takes about two minutes, and there is no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    Get a written cash offer

    We look at the property and recent sales nearby, then send a fair cash offer: within 24 hours for homes and 72 hours for land and commercial property.

  3. Step 3

    Close when you're ready

    Pick the closing date. We close through a licensed title company or closing attorney in as little as 7 days for homes (10 for other property), and you are paid at closing.

Start with your address

Compare your options

Cash offer vs. listing your Maryland house

Both can be the right choice. Here is how they differ on the things that usually decide it.

Cash offer from Serden Listing with an agent
Time to an offer 24 hours for homes, 72 hours for other property Weeks or months on the market
Closing As little as 7 days, or on the date you choose Usually 30 to 60 days after an offer is accepted
Repairs and cleaning None. We buy as-is Often expected before listing or after the inspection
Showings and open houses None Many, on the buyer's schedule
Agent commissions None Often 5% to 6% of the price, depending on what you negotiate
Closing costs We cover standard closing costs Seller usually pays a share
Financing risk None. We pay cash A buyer's loan can fall through late
Price A fair cash price that reflects repairs and our risk Potentially higher, before commissions, repairs and months of holding costs

Listing can bring a higher price for a house in move-in condition when you have time to wait. A cash sale is built for speed, certainty and property that needs work. Compare the offer with what you would net after commissions, repairs and months of mortgage, taxes and utilities.

Sell with confidence

How to vet any Maryland cash buyer, including us

Most cash buyers are legitimate, but the industry has its share of lowball bait-and-switch offers and companies that never intended to buy. These checks protect you whoever you sell to.

  1. Get the offer in writing It should show the price, any fees or deductions, who pays which closing costs, and the closing date.
  2. Close with a licensed title company or attorney Look them up yourself. They hold the money and record the deed, so neither side handles the funds directly.
  3. Never pay to get an offer A legitimate buyer doesn't charge an application, inspection or "processing" fee up front.
  4. Ask who is actually buying Some companies sign a contract and then sell it to another investor. Ask whether the company on the contract will be the one closing.
  5. Ask for proof of funds A cash buyer should be able to show the money is available before you take the house off the market.
  6. Compare it with listing Weigh the offer against what you would net after commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of carrying the property.

Any condition, any situation

We buy Maryland houses in any condition

From a dated house in Columbia to an inherited property in Silver Spring that nobody has lived in for years: you don't have to fix it or clear it out first.

  • Inherited or probate property

    Sell a house you inherited without clearing it out, fixing it up or managing it from far away.

  • Behind on payments

    A quick sale can pay off the loan before a foreclosure finishes and protect what equity is left.

  • Divorce or separation

    A clean cash sale with one closing date makes it simpler to divide the proceeds and move on.

  • Relocating

    Moving for work or family? Close before you go, or after, without carrying two housing payments.

  • Tired landlord

    Sell a rental with tenants in place, overdue repairs or a lease that still has months to run.

  • Major repairs

    Fire, water, foundation, roof or mold damage: we price the work in so you don't have to do it.

  • Downsizing or retiring

    Sell the family home on your schedule and leave behind anything you don't want to move.

  • Liens, back taxes or code violations

    Liens and unpaid taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and open violations become our problem.

Questions and answers

Questions about selling a house in Maryland

How fast can I sell my house for cash in Maryland?

Request an offer and we send a written cash offer for a Maryland home within 24 hours (72 hours for land and commercial property). Once you accept and the title is clear, most homes close in as little as 7 days. If you need longer, you choose the date.

Can I sell a Baltimore house with a vacant building notice or code violations?

Yes. Open notices, violations and city liens are paid or transferred through the title company at closing, and we take on the repairs. You don't need to bring the house up to code first.

What is ground rent, and does it stop me from selling my Maryland house?

Ground rent is an old arrangement in which a homeowner pays a small yearly rent for the land under the house. It doesn't stop a sale; the title company confirms the ground rent and either prorates it or arranges for it to be paid off at closing.

Can I sell my Maryland house if I'm facing foreclosure?

Usually, yes, until the foreclosure sale. Foreclosures in Maryland generally go through the courts, which usually takes months and gives you time to sell before a sale date is set. Selling for cash can pay off the loan and stop the foreclosure. A HUD-approved housing counselor (free or low cost) or a local real estate attorney can walk you through every option.

Do you buy houses in Baltimore, Columbia and Silver Spring and smaller Maryland towns?

Yes. We buy in Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring, Frederick, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Annapolis and Hagerstown, and in suburbs, small towns and rural areas across Maryland. Location affects the offer, not whether we make one.

What does it cost to sell my Maryland house to Serden?

Nothing out of pocket. There are no commissions or fees, and we cover the standard closing costs. Any mortgage, liens or unpaid property taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and the rest is yours.
