Contact a home buyer. A quick scan of the Internet or look through your phone book will turn up a few of these in your area. Some buyers advertise on billboards, through signs located around your favorite retail shops, etc. Talk to a few buyers to see what they have to offer. Some will offer more in cash in lieu of a fast closing while others will offer less cash and a closing within a few days. Make sure that the business you decide to conduct your transaction through is accredited through the Better Business Bureau or that you can verify that they are legitimate.
