Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers and we purchase properties quickly and for cash. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Many of the houses we purchase are bought at a discount because we may need to make repairs, handle updates, and resell the property later. Our goal is to reach a fair price that works for both sides. In our experience, many sellers are not always looking for the highest possible retail price. Instead, they value a cash offer, a faster closing timeline, fewer listing hassles, and a simpler way to move forward without major repair prep or financing delays.
If that sounds like what you are looking for, we can review the property and see if there is a win-win price that makes sense. Our no-obligation offer means you do not have to move forward unless the numbers and timeline feel right for your situation.
Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
What makes us different from the traditional method of selling your house is the clarity and simplicity of the process. When you sell your house directly to us, we explain any costs up front so there are no hidden fees or surprise charges. We review the property, make a no-obligation cash offer, and if it feels like a good fit, we move forward with a process that is easier to plan than a traditional sale.
We make our money after we purchase the property, complete any needed repairs or updates, and resell it later. Once we buy the house from you, the property becomes our responsibility, giving you a clearer way to move forward without ongoing payments, upkeep, listing delays, or the burden of managing the property.
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6 to 12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
