Why Cinch
Experience You Can Trust
When you work with Cinch, you are not dealing with a faceless corporation or an iBuyer algorithm running out of Silicon Valley. Ryan is a North Carolina real estate professional with hands-on experience purchasing, renovating, and managing over 200 properties across our state.
He understands what sets the Fayetteville market apart — the PCS cycles driven by Fort Liberty, the pricing pressure in established neighborhoods like Haymount and Cross Creek, the rising Cumberland County tax assessments that are squeezing long-time homeowners. There is more to working with Cinch than just a fair cash offer. You are partnering with a local business owner who is genuinely invested in your outcome and the health of the communities we serve.

Cumberland County Seller Situations
Fort Liberty Runs on Orders. Your Sale Doesn't Have To Wait.
From 82nd Airborne PCS timelines to Cape Fear flood damage to Bragg Boulevard landlord nightmares — Cinch handles the Fayetteville seller situations that traditional listings cannot.
Why Fayetteville Homeowners Choose Cinch Over the Traditional Route
Selling your house should not take six months and cost you $30,000 in fees. Here is what makes working with Cinch different from everything else on the market.
In a traditional Fayetteville sale, you are paying 5–6% in agent commissions plus thousands in closing costs. On a $400,000 home — which is around the Fayetteville median — that is $20,000–$24,000 gone before you see a check. With Cinch, the offer you accept is the amount you deposit. We cover every cost from title search to closing attorney. Your net is your net.
Sell Completely As-Is — Skip the Renovation
Fayetteville buyers today expect move-in ready. That means new kitchens, updated bathrooms, fresh paint, and repaired roofs before you even list. Those renovations can cost $15,000–$50,000 with no guarantee you will recoup them. We buy your home in whatever condition it sits in right now. Cluttered garage, outdated carpet, broken HVAC — we do not care. Leave it all and walk away.
Close in as Few as 7 Days
The average time to sell a home in Fayetteville with a real estate agent is 70–90 days from listing to closing — and that assumes the buyer's financing does not fall apart at the finish line. We have closed deals in 7 days flat. Need more time because you are relocating for a corporate transfer? We will wait 60 or 90 days. You pick the date; we build around your schedule.
No Showings, No Open Houses, No Strangers
When you list with an agent in Fayetteville, your home becomes public property. Weekend open houses, weeknight showings, photographers, staging crews, and a parade of strangers through your living space. With Cinch, there are zero showings. We visit once, make our offer, and close. Your privacy stays intact from start to finish.
Guaranteed Close — No Financing Contingencies
Nearly 30% of traditional home sales in Cumberland County experience delays or cancellations because of financing issues — appraisals coming in low, lenders pulling approval, buyers failing to qualify at the last minute. Our offers are all-cash. There is no lender, no appraisal requirement, and no financing contingency. When we say we are closing, we are closing.
Local Fayetteville Market Expertise — Not a National Algorithm
We are not an iBuyer running data through a server farm in California. Our team understands the difference between a fixer-upper in Haymount and a military rental near Fort Liberty. We know that Cross Creek properties move differently than homes in Cliffdale. That neighborhood-level knowledge means a more accurate, more fair offer for your specific property — not a one-size-fits-all lowball.

Cash Home Buyers in Fayetteville NC | Cumberland County
Fort Liberty Made Fayetteville a City That Runs on Speed. We Buy Homes the Same Way.
Fayetteville is not a market that slows down. Fort Liberty — the largest military installation by population in the United States — generates a constant cycle of home purchases and sales that moves on deployment schedules, not real estate market cycles. When the 82nd Airborne Division gets orders, families across Haymount, Cliffdale, Bordeaux, Westover, and Massey Hill need to sell fast. Homeowners along the Yadkin Road corridor near Cross Creek Mall, longtime residents who put down roots near Fayetteville State University, and investors who bought along the All-American Freeway expecting steady military tenant income — they all face the same market reality when circumstances change: a cash buyer who closes in 7 days delivers certainty that a 90-day listing never can. Cinch Home Buyers buys Fayetteville properties in every one of these situations — as-is, for cash, on your timeline.
Who Sells to Cinch in Fayetteville — and Why
Fayetteville's housing market is unlike any other in North Carolina, and the sellers who contact us reflect that. The most common call we receive is from a soldier at Fort Liberty — a staff sergeant with the 82nd Airborne, a warrant officer with XVIII Airborne Corps, a support specialist stationed at Pope Army Airfield — who received PCS orders two weeks ago and needs to close before their report date. The typical window between receiving orders and reporting to a new installation is 30 to 60 days. That timeline rules out a traditional MLS listing, a mortgage-contingent buyer, and a standard inspection-and-repair cycle. It does not rule out Cinch. We close in as little as 7 days, or on whatever date matches your orders.
Beyond active-duty sellers, Cumberland County produces a distinct set of civilian cash-sale situations. Retired NCOs who purchased a home near the Fayetteville VA Medical Center on Ramsey Street during their final assignment and now want to relocate closer to family — but the house needs work they cannot afford to fund. Landlords who bought investment properties along the Bragg Boulevard corridor banking on steady military tenant income, then watched BAH-funded tenants rotate out mid-lease, leaving deferred maintenance and units that need $15,000 to $40,000 in repairs before they can re-rent competitively. Estate heirs who inherited a home near the Cool Spring District or in Eutaw Village from a parent who lived there for decades — now managing Cumberland County property taxes and a probate filing through the Clerk of Court from Charlotte or Atlanta. Homeowners whose properties sustained Hurricane Florence damage in September 2018 that was temporarily patched but never structurally corrected, and who cannot sell on the retail market without funding repairs first. These are the calls we answer every week.
I'm Ryan Smith. I started Cinch Home Buyers in 2021, and in the time since I've purchased over 150 properties across North Carolina — including multiple deals in Fayetteville and Cumberland County. I am not running a call center in another state. When you submit your address, I am the one who reviews the comparable sales data in your specific neighborhood, looks at the Cumberland County Register of Deeds, and calls you with a real number. My offer reflects what comparable properties have actually sold for in your area of Fayetteville recently — not a national algorithm's guess, not a lowball designed to get renegotiated after you've committed. Cinch also contributes a portion of every closing to a community fund working toward $275,000 in donations to North Carolina charities by 2030. When we buy a home in Cumberland County, some of that goes back to NC.
PCS-Ready Closings — We close in as little as 7 days, or we match your exact report date. No lender, no appraisal, no mortgage contingency delaying your move.
Any Condition Accepted — Hurricane Florence damage, foundation issues, deferred maintenance from 40 years of occupancy, a tenant who trashed the unit. We buy it as-is and handle the renovation after closing.
Zero Fees, Zero Commissions — No Fayetteville real estate agent taking 5-6%, no closing costs coming out of your proceeds. We cover title, attorney fees, and Cumberland County transfer taxes.
Military POA Accepted — Deployed spouse? We close with a valid military POA from the Fort Liberty JAG office. You do not both need to be present.
Occupied Rentals Welcome — We buy Fayetteville rental properties with tenants in them. No Cumberland County eviction process required on your end.
How It Works in Fayetteville
01
Tell Us About Your Cumberland County Property
Call (919) 751-6768 or submit the form with your address. Tell us your PCS report date if you have one, whether there is a tenant in the home, any storm damage or structural issues, an estate or probate situation with the Cumberland County Clerk of Court, or a pending tax lien. The more detail you give us, the more accurate our offer will be from the first call.
02
Receive a Written Cash Offer Within 24 Hours
We review recent closed sales in your specific Fayetteville neighborhood — Haymount, Cliffdale, Westover, Bordeaux, or wherever your property sits — factor in the realistic condition of the home, and deliver a written, no-obligation cash offer. There is no pressure to accept it and no expiration clock running in the background.
03
Choose Your Closing Date and Collect Your Cash
You name the date. Whether that is 7 days to match your PCS report date or 45 days to give yourself time to arrange your next move. We cover all standard closing costs — title search, attorney fees, Cumberland County transfer taxes. Your proceeds are wired to your bank account at the closing table through a licensed NC closing attorney.
Neighborhoods We Buy in — Fayetteville and Cumberland County
Haymount
One of Fayetteville's oldest and most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, with homes dating from the early 1900s through the mid-century era. Estate situations and long-term owners dealing with deferred maintenance are the primary seller profile here. Many Haymount properties have original plumbing and electrical that conventional lenders flag immediately.
Bordeaux
A large established neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of Fayetteville, heavily populated with military families and retired servicemembers. PCS-driven sales are common, and the steady BAH-funded rental market has produced a number of investor-owned properties that their owners are ready to exit. We buy occupied and vacant Bordeaux properties.
Cliffdale
West Fayetteville neighborhood with a mix of 1970s through 1990s construction. A number of Cliffdale properties sustained drainage and crawl space moisture issues from repeated Cape Fear River basin flooding events. Sellers here often face inspection findings that stall retail transactions, making a cash sale the path of least resistance.
Westover
South-central Fayetteville with accessible proximity to Fort Liberty's main gates. High rental density, significant turnover, and an aging housing stock built primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. Absentee landlord situations and deferred maintenance are common seller motivations in Westover.
Eutaw Village
An established residential community with a range of home sizes and price points. Eutaw Village has attracted buyers looking for affordability near Fort Liberty, but resale competition from newer construction in Hope Mills and Spring Lake has created pricing pressure on older Eutaw properties.
Massey Hill
A historic working-class neighborhood south of downtown with a distinct identity built around the former Massey Hill School. Properties here tend to be smaller, older, and carrying maintenance needs that exceed what the local buyer pool can absorb at traditional listing prices.
Bragg Boulevard Corridor
The commercial and residential spine running from downtown Fayetteville toward Fort Liberty's Bragg Blvd gate is one of Cumberland County's highest-rental-density zones. Landlords with properties in this corridor deal with consistent tenant turnover tied to military rotation cycles, units left in poor condition, and an older housing stock that requires ongoing capital to maintain.
Hope Mills (adjacent)
The town of Hope Mills sits immediately southwest of Fayetteville and is served by the same Fort Liberty economic engine. Hope Mills Lake is a community landmark, but properties throughout Hope Mills face the same PCS-driven market dynamics as Fayetteville proper. Estate situations and long-term owner sales are common in the older sections around the lake.
Spring Lake (adjacent)
Northeast of Fort Liberty, Spring Lake is one of the communities most directly affected by military housing decisions — when BAH rates shift or installation housing expands, Spring Lake's rental and resale market feels it immediately. We buy homes throughout Spring Lake, including properties near US-401 and those that have sat vacant during extended military assignments.
Ramsey Street / VA Medical Center area
The corridor running along Ramsey Street from downtown Fayetteville toward the Fayetteville VA Medical Center is one of the city's most diverse commercial and residential zones. Older homes in this corridor carry the history of Fayetteville's pre-Fort-Bragg residential character — character that conventional buyers often cannot finance through traditional mortgage programs because of age, condition, or title complications.
Stedman
The small town of Stedman sits in eastern Cumberland County with a rural character distinct from urban Fayetteville. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots, draw a thin local buyer pool, and present complications for conventional lenders when they need septic, well, or structural work. We buy Stedman properties in any condition.
Downtown Fayetteville / Cool Spring District
Downtown Fayetteville has seen genuine revitalization investment through the Cool Spring District, with new development along Hay Street and Gillespie Street. The surrounding residential blocks contain some of Fayetteville's oldest homes — properties with historic character and significant deferred maintenance in equal measure. Estate heirs and long-term downtown owners are our most common contacts in this area.
What Fort Liberty Actually Does to the Fayetteville Housing Market
Fort Liberty — formerly Fort Bragg — is the largest military installation in the United States measured by active-duty population, with roughly 52,000 soldiers assigned at any given time, plus tens of thousands of family members, civilian employees, and defense contractors living across Cumberland County. That concentration creates a housing market unlike any other in North Carolina.
The positive version of the Fort Liberty effect is well understood: strong rental demand, sustained home purchase volume, and an employment base that insulates the local economy from civilian downturns. But there is a less-discussed flip side that directly affects resale sellers. Fayetteville's market runs in rotation cycles. When a large unit — an airborne brigade, a corps headquarters element, a special operations group — receives orders to deploy or redeploy, hundreds of homes come onto the market simultaneously. Supply spikes. Prices soften. Buyers who are themselves military personnel face VA loan appraisal caps that have not kept pace with cost increases. The window to sell narrows, and sellers who listed at the top of the cycle find themselves competing with four other homes on their street that all came on at the same time.
On the landlord side, the Basic Allowance for Housing rate — the BAH — determines what military tenants can afford to pay. The BAH for an E-5 with dependents in the Fayetteville area currently runs around $1,400 to $1,700 per month depending on rank and dependent status. That ceiling dictates the entire rental market for the properties closest to Fort Liberty's gates. When BAH rates stay flat while property costs, insurance, and maintenance rise, the math on holding a rental property in Cumberland County shifts from positive to negative faster than landlords expect.
This is the market reality Cinch operates inside every day. We understand Cumberland County's tax rate (currently $0.74 per $100 of assessed value for the county, plus municipal rates for Fayetteville city properties). We understand that the All-American Freeway (SR-295) creates a clear dividing line between western Fayetteville's higher-value neighborhoods and the eastern corridors closer to Fort Liberty where price pressure is more acute. We understand that the Cape Fear River's flood history — and FEMA flood map designations that cover significant portions of eastern Cumberland County — affects insurance costs and lender appetite for properties near the river and its tributaries. These are not talking points. They are the specifics that determine whether your Fayetteville property attracts a retail buyer or needs a cash solution.
Situations That Send Fayetteville Homeowners to Cinch
The PCS close with no time margin. Orders come in and the report date is 35 days out. A traditional Fayetteville listing takes 45 to 75 days just to attract a buyer, and then another 30 to 45 days for the buyer's VA loan to process through the Fayetteville Veterans Affairs appraisal pipeline. The math does not work. A cash offer to Cinch closes in 7 to 21 days — matching your timeline, not the lender's.
The Bragg Boulevard landlord who inherited a nightmare. You bought the property during a PCS when you were stationed here yourself, rented it to other military families, and managed it from your next duty station. Three tenant rotations and two repairs later, the property has $25,000 to $40,000 in deferred work, the current tenant is month-to-month and occasionally late, and the thought of managing a Cumberland County eviction from 1,200 miles away is not something you are willing to do. We buy it occupied, as-is, and handle the tenant transition after closing.
The Cumberland County estate that nobody wants to manage. Your father served at Fort Bragg in the 1970s, retired, bought a house in Haymount, and lived there for 35 years. He passed last year and the house has been sitting. The Cumberland County Clerk of Court has the probate case open. The lawn is overgrown. There are 40 years of belongings inside. You live in Maryland and have been to Fayetteville twice in the past decade. We handle remote closings through DocuSign contracts and mobile notary services. You do not need to travel. You do not need to clean out the house. You just need a buyer who understands how Cumberland County probate works and is willing to wait for the court process to align.
The Hurricane Florence property that was never fully repaired. Florence made September 2018 catastrophic for large portions of Cumberland County, pushing the Cape Fear River and its tributaries to record levels and flooding homes throughout eastern Fayetteville. The insurance payment covered some of the damage. The contractor who started the work finished 60% of it. The structural issues underneath — the crawl space, the floor framing, the load-bearing members that got wet — were addressed on paper but not completely in reality. Retail buyers cannot finance a property with known structural issues. We can buy it. We assess the condition honestly and reflect it in the offer price, but we do not walk away because the work is complicated.
We buy throughout Cumberland County and the surrounding towns. If your property is in a neighboring community, see our pages for Hope Mills, Dunn, and Sanford — all served with cash offers within 24 hours and flexible closing dates.

We Buy Houses Across Fayetteville & the Surrounding Metro

Ryan Smith built Cinch Home Buyers for homeowners who need a real answer from a real person — not an automated offer from a platform that has never seen your street. Fayetteville is a city that runs on military time, and the sellers here need a buyer who understands that. A soldier with PCS orders to Fort Wainwright does not have 90 days. A widow managing a Haymount estate from out of state does not have the bandwidth for a six-month renovation. Ryan knows Cumberland County's market well enough to make fair, informed offers fast.
With over 150 properties purchased across North Carolina, Ryan has worked with Army families, estate heirs, Bragg Blvd landlords, and homeowners dealing with Hurricane Florence damage. He knows the difference between a fixer-upper in Bonnie Doone and a pre-war gem in Haymount. He knows that a home near the VA Medical Center and a home in Eutaw Village have completely different buyer pools. That knowledge is what makes Cinch's offers fair rather than formulaic.

This is not a talking point. Cinch has a community fund targeting $275,000 donated to local North Carolina charities by 2030. Every home we close — including every Fayetteville home — moves that number forward. When you sell your home to Cinch, part of that transaction goes to programs supporting families in Cumberland County and across North Carolina, including organizations that serve the military community.

Straight answers about selling your Cumberland County home for cash — covering PCS timelines, military POA closings, Cape Fear flood damage, and the probate process at the Fayetteville courthouse.
45 days is workable, and 30 days is achievable in most cases. Fort Liberty PCS orders operate on Army time — not mortgage lender time. Because Cinch pays cash, there is no buyer financing contingency waiting for a VA appraisal or an underwriter's queue. Here is what the timeline actually looks like on a 45-day PCS close:
1Day 1-2: You call or submit the form. We pull recent Cumberland County comparable sales in your specific neighborhood and call you with a cash offer within 24 hours.
2Day 3-5: You sign the purchase agreement via DocuSign. We order the title search immediately through our closing attorney.
3Day 7-10: Title search completes. Any existing liens or encumbrances are identified and factored into the closing payoff.
4Day 14-21: Closing. You sign the final documents, your proceeds are wired same-day, and you report to your next installation with the house sold.
We have closed for 82nd Airborne families, XVIII Airborne Corps soldiers, and support personnel at Pope Army Airfield on timelines from 14 to 45 days. Call us the same day you receive orders — do not wait until you have two weeks left.
No eviction required before we can purchase. This is one of the most common situations we handle from absentee Fayetteville landlords. Cumberland County eviction proceedings through the Fayetteville District Court can take 60 to 120 days from filing to final judgment — longer if the tenant contests or requests a continuance. Filing from out of state while the property sits occupied and unmanaged is exactly the kind of slow, expensive process we help sellers avoid.
We purchase Fayetteville rental properties occupied — meaning with the tenant still in residence, regardless of their payment status. Our offer reflects the occupied condition of the property, the estimated cost to work through the tenant situation after closing, and the realistic repair costs given what you describe about the unit's condition. You sign the purchase agreement via DocuSign from Texas, we close through a NC licensed attorney, and we handle the tenant transition after we take title.
Here is what you do not have to do: you do not file for eviction in Cumberland County, you do not manage a property manager, you do not fund another repair cycle before closing. You call us, accept the offer, sign the documents, and wire arrives in your account.
Yes — a valid military Power of Attorney covers real estate transactions in North Carolina. This situation comes up regularly in Fayetteville. A Fort Liberty soldier is deployed to a combat rotation or overseas training assignment, the family needs to sell and relocate, and only one party is available to sign. A properly executed military POA issued by the Fort Liberty JAG office or any installation legal assistance office gives you full authority to sign all real estate contracts and closing documents on behalf of your deployed spouse.
Here is what we need to proceed:
A copy of the POA (we will review it with our closing attorney to confirm it covers real property transactions in NC)
Confirmation that the POA was issued while your spouse was on active duty
Your contact information and the property address
We have closed multiple Fayetteville sales where one party was deployed. Our title attorneys are experienced with military POA closings and know exactly what documentation is required by North Carolina law and the title insurance underwriters. If there is any question about the scope of your specific POA, we sort that out before the contract is signed — not after you have committed to moving.
A remote sale through Cinch requires almost nothing from you physically. Here is the actual sequence:
1You call or email us from Maryland. Tell us the Fayetteville address. We look up the Cumberland County Register of Deeds records, assess the property against recent Haymount-area comparable sales, and email you a cash offer within 24 hours.
2You sign the purchase contract via DocuSign from Maryland. No travel required at this stage.
3Our closing attorney handles the title search and coordinates with the Cumberland County Clerk of Court if the probate estate is still open. We work around what the court requires on timing.
4At closing, a mobile notary travels to wherever you are in Maryland for the final closing documents. Your proceeds are wired directly to your bank account the same day.
You do not clean out the house. You do not repair anything. You do not arrange a lockbox or schedule showings. If the home has 40 years of belongings inside, we buy it that way. Cumberland County property taxes that have accumulated during the estate process are paid from closing proceeds. Everything is resolved at the table.
Yes — this is precisely the type of property we buy. Hurricane Florence pushed Cape Fear River tributaries to historic levels in September 2018 and flooded thousands of Fayetteville and Cumberland County homes. A significant number of those properties received insurance payouts that covered cosmetic repairs — drywall, flooring, paint — without addressing the structural moisture damage underneath. Crawl space framing, floor joists, and load-bearing elements that absorbed sustained water exposure can degrade over years even after the visible signs are patched.
The practical effect is a property that looks acceptable to a casual buyer but generates significant findings during a thorough inspection — findings that cause conventional lenders to decline financing and retail buyers to terminate contracts. If your home has known crawl space or structural issues from Florence-era flooding, the standard retail listing process is likely to produce failed contracts rather than a clean sale.
We assess storm-damaged Fayetteville properties for what they are. The structural condition affects the offer price — it does not disqualify the property from our consideration. We buy homes in the condition they are actually in, not the condition they would need to be in to compete on the Fayetteville MLS.
Give us the address and tell us what you know about the condition. We will research the FEMA flood zone designation for your specific parcel, look at recent comparable sales in your corridor, and call you with a straightforward cash offer that reflects an honest assessment of the property.
We Buy Houses Across Fayetteville, Cumberland County & North Carolina
At Cinch Home Buyers, our reach extends across the entire Fayetteville metro and beyond. We actively purchase homes in Fayetteville, Spring Lake, Hope Mills, Raeford, Stedman, Eastover, Fort Liberty area, Linden, and Southern Pines — plus every major market in North Carolina. Whether your property is in Haymount or out near the base, we will have a fair cash offer to you within 24 hours.
Our company purchases homes in every condition across Cumberland County — from aging bungalows in Haymount to suburban ranches in Cliffdale, from investor-owned rentals near Fort Liberty to inherited estates in Westover. We respect your time and will never deliver a lowball offer. Every Fayetteville homeowner receives a fair, data-driven cash offer based on actual comparable sales in their specific neighborhood, not a metro-wide average that ignores the massive pricing differences between Fayetteville's diverse communities.
We specialize in the situations that derail traditional home sales: corporate relocations with tight deadlines, inherited properties managed from out of state, rental homes with difficult tenants, houses facing foreclosure, and properties that need too much work to attract a financed buyer. Fayetteville's market moves fast, but selling traditionally does not have to be your only option. You set the timeline, and the decision is always yours with Cinch Home Buyers.
