Have Questions? We Can Help.
Are you listing my house on the MLS or buying it?
We buy houses in your area that fit our buying criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves. We also have a team of agents, so if listing the home is something you are looking to do, we can help you with that.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
There are NO fees or commissions to work with us. We'll make you an offer, and if it's a fit, we'll buy your house. No hassle. No fees.
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
We buy houses in your area that fit our buying criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves. We also have a team of agents, so if listing the home is something you are looking to do, we can help you with that.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 45 - 60 Days.
As you know, you pay a commission as a percentage of the sales price when you work with a real estate agent. Often it's 3-6 percent of the sales price. (So if it's a $100 000 house, you'll pay between $3 000 – $6 000 in commissions to an agent.)
Agents provide an excellent service for those that can wait two months in many cases to sell and who have room to pay the commission on the sale.
Our company buys houses. Since we're buying the home from you, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days (oftentimes the same day.)
Again, we make our living by taking the risk of purchasing the home with our cash, repairing it, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
Our process is straightforward. We look at the location, what repairs are needed, the condition, and the current values of comparable houses sold in the area. We consider everything and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
What if I still have a loan on my house?
With mortgages ranging from 15 to 30 years, chances are your current loan isn't fully paid off when it comes time to sell. No worries! Our cash offer includes paying off your existing mortgage so that you can walk away with cash in your pocket.
