Most of the times, you'll get a lowball offer that you probably won't even consider. Their "Cash" offer is in fact a hope that you'll agree to sell for a large difference betwent the real value and their price. The larger the better as that will be your profit. Best, just ask a rpoffesional to do a home-value assesment on your property and get his advice what it would take to sell, and seceond : to sell for more. More times than not, you'll sell more for more.
