A Durham, NC homeowner named Shirley needed a fast exit from a home that needed work. 3 Step Home Sale closed in 3 weeks, zero repairs, with a 30-Day Flex Stay™. Now serving NC, GA, MD, VA, FL, and TX.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When Shirley, a Durham, NC homeowner, needed to sell quickly, she was skeptical. The house needed work, she needed cash fast, and she had been contacted by multiple buyers she wasn't sure she could trust. She chose 3 Step Home Sale — and closed in three weeks, without making a single repair, with a 30-Day Flex Stay™ that gave her time to move on her own terms.

"At first, I honestly thought it might be a scam because everything sounded almost too good to be true," Shirley said. "However, they took the time to answer all my questions and even adjusted the contract to fit my needs. Everything they promised, they followed through on. The price they quoted never changed, there were no surprises."

"Everything they promised, they followed through on. The price never changed, there were no surprises, and I closed on the date I chose." — Shirley, Durham, NC Home Seller

Post this

That experience is exactly what 3 Step Home Sale (https://www.3stephomesale.com) was built to deliver — and it's becoming the norm for homeowners across North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Texas.

"Most homeowners with a fixer-upper feel like they have no good options. They don't want to pour money into repairs, they don't want to sit on the market for months, and they don't want to get taken advantage of. We built 3 Step Home Sale to give those sellers a real, fair, fast option." — Josh Cohen, Co-Founder, 3 Step Home Sale

TRUSTED BY 1,000+ HOMEOWNERS SINCE 2020

Founded in 2020 by Josh Cohen and his sister Elana Newman, 3 Step Home Sale is a family-owned, BBB Accredited A+ rated home buying company that has helped more than 1,000 homeowners sell as-is — with verified 4.9-star Google reviews from real local sellers.

Unlike national iBuyers or anonymous wholesalers, 3 Step Home Sale is run by a local family team that adjusts contracts to fit each seller's needs, answers every question, and never changes the offer at the closing table.

WHAT MAKES 3 STEP HOME SALE DIFFERENT

3 Step Home Sale offers something no national cash buyer does — the 30-Day Flex Stay™. Homeowners close on their timeline and can remain in the home for up to 30 days after closing, giving families breathing room to coordinate their next move without feeling forced out.

The numbers speak clearly:

  • Average days on market traditionally: 62 days (Realtor.com)
  • 3 Step Home Sale closing timeline: as little as 7 days
  • Traditional agent commissions + closing costs: 7–11% of sale price
  • 3 Step Home Sale fees and commissions: none
  • Repairs, cleaning, or showings required: none

On a $300,000 home, sellers avoid up to $18,000 in agent commissions alone — while closing faster and without touching a thing.

HOW IT WORKS: 3 STEPS, NO REPAIRS, NO COMMISSION

Step 1 — Tell us about your property: Share basic details about the home and timeline in minutes. Step 2 — Receive a fair, same-day cash offer: After a quick review, sellers receive an all-cash offer with no obligation. Step 3 — Choose your closing date: Close in as little as 7 days — or pick a date that works. Stay up to 30 days after closing with 30-Day Flex Stay™.

WHO THIS IS FOR

3 Step Home Sale works with homeowners across all six states who need speed, certainty, and zero hassle:

  • Inherited homes in need of updates or repairs
  • Properties damaged by fire, flood, or storm
  • Homeowners facing foreclosure, divorce, or relocation
  • Landlords with bad tenants or deferred maintenance
  • Families downsizing from a long-term home
  • Anyone who wants out — fast, clean, and fair

WHY NOW

The average U.S. home currently takes 62 days from listing to close. Mortgage-dependent buyers routinely demand repairs and inspections that derail deals. And in the wake of the landmark National Association of Realtors commission settlement (https://www.nar.realtor/the-facts), millions of sellers are questioning whether a listing agent is necessary at all.

For homeowners with properties that need work, the math is simple: months of carrying costs, repair bills, and agent commissions can erase $30,000–$50,000 in equity. 3 Step Home Sale eliminates every one of those costs.

ABOUT 3 STEP HOME SALE

3 Step Home Sale is a family-owned, BBB Accredited A+ rated cash home buying company founded in 2020 by Josh Cohen and Elana Newman. Trusted by more than 1,000 homeowners, the company serves North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Texas — helping sellers with properties in any condition close quickly, without repairs, commissions, or stress.
