Cash offers typically appeal to home sellers more than offers with a financing contingency. That’s because sellers worry that you won’t get financing and they’ll have to put their home back up for sale again. With a Cash 4 Homes program, Planet Home Lending buys the house, so the seller is guaranteed to have a sale. That makes your offer strong.
A real estate professional can talk to you about the strength of the offer you want to make. Whether or not you can successfully pay less for a property by making an all-cash offer depends on many factors, especially what other homebuyers are offering.
We make the cash offer on your behalf, then you purchase the home from us.

How does the Cash 4 Homes Closing Guarantee work? The Cash 4 Homes Closing Guarantee allows you to waive the financing contingency when you make your offer to purchase a home. If you are not able to obtain financing before the closing date, Planet Management Group, LLC (“PMG”), a subsidiary of Planet Home Lending, LLC (“Planet”), will purchase the home from the seller and you will purchase the home from PMG once your financing is approved. This gives the seller peace of mind since the sale of the property is not contingent on your ability to obtain financing.
How does the Cash 4 Homes Financing work? The Cash 4 Homes Financing option allows you to waive the financing and appraisal contingencies when you make your offer to purchase a home. You will work to obtain financing, with the Cash offer as a backup. If you are not able to obtain financing before the agreed-upon closing date, PMG, a subsidiary of Planet, will purchase the home from the seller and you will purchase the home from PMG once your financing is approved. This gives the seller peace of mind since the sale of the property is not contingent on your ability to obtain financing or an appraisal.
How does the Cash 4 Homes Cash Option work? The Cash 4 Homes Cash Option allows you to waive financing and/or appraisal contingencies because PMG will make the cash offer to purchase your identified home. You will choose to have PMG purchase the home from the seller and you will purchase the home from PMG once your financing is approved. This gives the seller peace of mind since the sale of the property is not contingent on financing or an appraisal.
Will my Cash 4 Homes offer contain other contingencies? Yes, to make the Cash 4 Homes Closing Guarantee work, we’ll need to ensure that you have the right to inspect the property and obtain an appraisal. For the Cash 4 Homes Financing and Cash Options, you have the choice to waive both the financing and appraisal contingencies (except in cases of VA financing where an appraisal is required).
How much does the Cash 4 Homes program cost? The total cost to you can range from 0% to 5% of the purchase price depending on whether you obtain financing timely and whether PMG is required to purchase the home. The full details regarding the cost of the program are set forth in the program agreement. However, the below table sets forth an example summary of the program costs.
