Quick answer
A cash offer can reduce showings, appraisal risk, and repair projects. Closing speed still depends on title, access, liens, and contract terms. Always verify who is buying and how funds are confirmed.
How ownership and payment work
You sell under a purchase agreement. The buyer pays the agreed price at closing (minus agreed costs and payoffs). You are not paid simply because an address was submitted.
