Questions About Selling a House in Utah
The questions homeowners and families ask us most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, call — and if it is a legal, tax or loan question, we will tell you who to ask instead.
Who are you, exactly?
Utah House Options is a referral service run by Skyfall Capital LLC. We do not buy houses. When you ask for an offer, we pass your details to one independent, local home-buying company that buys houses directly with its own funds.
How do you get paid?
The home-buying company may pay us a referral fee if a sale happens. You never pay us anything, and the fee does not come out of your sale proceeds as a separate charge.
Is a cash offer the most I can get for my house?
Almost never. A cash buyer pays below full retail value because it takes on repairs, holding costs and risk. What you get in exchange is speed, certainty and no repairs or showings. If price matters most and you have time, compare with an agent.
Are there any fees or commissions?
You pay no fee to us. Whether the buyer covers closing costs is set out in its written offer — read that line before you accept. There is no agent commission on a direct sale.
How fast can a sale close?
Commonly two to four weeks once title work is clear, sometimes faster. Probate, liens or a mortgage payoff can add time. You can also choose a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house?
No. The offer reflects the house as it is. Take what you want to keep; anything left behind is handled after closing.
I'm behind on my mortgage. Should I call you first?
Call your servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor (800-569-4287) first. They can explain reinstatement, repayment plans and modifications. If you decide selling is right, then a cash offer is a useful number to compare.
How much time do I have after a notice of default in Utah?
Utah law requires at least three months after the notice of default is recorded before the trustee can give notice of a sale, then several more weeks of published notice. It is rarely less than about four months in total. Your loan documents control the exact dates.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is done?
Sometimes. It depends on the estate, the will and the type of probate. A Utah probate attorney will tell you who can sign and when; the buyer can wait.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. We are not attorneys, accountants or financial advisers. For probate, heirship, liens, divorce or tax questions, talk to a qualified Utah professional.
What happens to my information?
It goes to one home-buying company so it can contact you about your property. We do not sell it to lists. Read the [privacy policy](/privacy/) for details.
Will you or the buyer call me with automated or AI calls?
Only if you tick the optional consent box on the form. Without it, any call back is made by a person. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP or telling the caller.
Do you buy houses outside Utah?
This site covers Utah only. The buyer decides which properties it can make offers on; if it can't help with yours, we will tell you.
