Plain-language summary: This website provides information about Jay Vakati's cash home buying service in the Raleigh, NC area. Submitting a form is not a contract. Estimates from the offer calculator are not binding offers. Market data and legal information on this site is informational only — consult a licensed NC real estate attorney, CPA, or financial advisor for advice specific to your situation.
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you have questions, call Jay directly at (562) 234-2832.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using cashhomebuyersraleighnc.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use this Site.
These Terms apply to all visitors, including those who submit forms, browse information pages, or link to this Site from another website. Use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of these Terms as they exist at the time of your visit.
2. Who operates this site
This Site is operated by Jay Vakati, an individual real estate investor doing business as Cash Home Buyers Raleigh NC, with operations in the Raleigh-Durham metro area of North Carolina.
Jay Vakati purchases residential real estate as a principal — meaning he buys properties for his own account using his own funds, not on behalf of clients or as an agent or broker. All purchases are made through a licensed North Carolina closing attorney as required by state law.
For any matters relating to this Site, contact Jay Vakati at jay@cashhomebuyersraleighnc.com or (562) 234-2832.
3. Not a licensed real estate agent or broker
Jay Vakati is not a licensed real estate agent or broker in North Carolina. He is a real estate investor who purchases properties for his own account. This website does not constitute a solicitation for real estate brokerage services and nothing on this Site should be interpreted as real estate agent services, advice, or representation.
When you submit a form on this Site and Jay Vakati contacts you, he is acting as a potential buyer of your property — not as your agent, not as a dual agent, and not in any representative capacity. He has no fiduciary duty to you as a seller.
We strongly encourage all property sellers to consult with an independent licensed North Carolina real estate attorney before entering into any purchase agreement. A licensed attorney can review any contract, advise on NC-specific legal requirements, and represent your interests in the transaction. Jay works through a licensed closing attorney on every transaction — that attorney represents the closing process and title integrity, but does not represent either party as a client advocate.
4. No binding offers through this website
Submitting a form on this website does not create a contract, a binding offer to purchase, or any legal obligation on the part of either party.
Form submissions are inquiries only. They invite Jay Vakati to contact you to discuss your property and, if appropriate, to prepare and deliver a written cash offer. A binding purchase agreement exists only when:
- A written purchase agreement has been signed by both the property seller(s) and Jay Vakati
- Any required earnest money or due diligence fee has been tendered as specified in the agreement
- All conditions precedent specified in the purchase agreement have been satisfied
Any verbal statements, email estimates, or text message discussions prior to a signed written agreement are not binding on either party.
5. Offer calculator — estimates only
The interactive offer calculator on /how-we-calculate-your-offer/ generates illustrative estimates based on inputs you provide. These estimates are provided for informational and educational purposes only.
Calculator outputs are not offers, not commitments to purchase, and not indicative of the price Jay Vakati will actually offer for any specific property. Actual offers depend on a physical or virtual walkthrough of the property, verification of comparable sales from the Wake County Register of Deeds, an independent assessment of repair scope and costs, and other factors that cannot be captured by a calculator.
The calculator is intended to help property owners understand the general methodology behind cash offer pricing in the Triangle market. It should not be used as the sole basis for any financial decision. If you want an actual offer on your property, submit a form or call (562) 234-2832 to arrange a walkthrough.
6. Informational content — not professional advice
This Site contains articles, guides, and explanations covering topics including North Carolina real estate law, probate procedure, foreclosure timelines, tax implications of property sales, landlord-tenant law, and divorce property division. All of this content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or real estate professional advice.
Legal content
References to North Carolina statutes, court procedures, probate timelines, foreclosure processes, and equitable distribution law on this Site are general summaries intended to help property owners understand their situations. They are not legal advice. North Carolina law is complex and fact-specific — the same statute can produce very different outcomes depending on individual circumstances.
Always consult a licensed North Carolina attorney for legal advice specific to your situation, particularly for matters involving probate, foreclosure, divorce property division, or any situation where legal rights or obligations are at stake.
Tax content
References on this Site to capital gains tax, depreciation recapture, 1031 exchanges, step-up in basis, and other tax matters are general educational summaries. They are not tax advice. Tax consequences of real estate transactions depend on individual circumstances, holding periods, property use, and applicable federal and state law that may change.
Consult a licensed CPA or tax attorney before making any decision based on anticipated tax treatment of a real estate transaction.
Financial content
Market data, price estimates, net proceeds comparisons, and other financial information on this Site are provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice. Past market performance does not guarantee future results. Net proceeds calculations are illustrative and depend on assumptions that may not apply to your specific transaction.
7. Market data accuracy
This Site contains real estate market data including median sale prices, days on market, price trends, and inventory statistics for the Raleigh-Durham Triangle area. This data is sourced from third-party providers including Zillow, Redfin, Movoto, Bankrate, Triangle MLS, Houzeo, and local real estate publications.
We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any market data displayed on this Site. Real estate markets change rapidly. Statistics cited on city pages and situation pages were accurate as of the data publication dates noted in the source citations, but may be out of date at the time you read them.
Market data on this Site should not be used as the sole basis for any financial or real estate decision. Always verify market conditions with current MLS data, a licensed real estate professional, or other authoritative current source before making decisions based on market statistics.
