Questions sellers ask us.
How long does it take to get an offer?
We aim to provide you with an offer as swiftly as possible. We also want to ensure that it reflects the current condition of your property and your unique circumstances. For these reasons, we usually wait to make an offer until we’ve had the opportunity to meet with you and walk through and look at the house. Seeing the house lets us make you the best offer we can, based on what your house is really worth.
Here’s a brief overview of our typical process:
- We’ll start with a phone call to determine if we’re a good match for each other.
- Next, we’ll schedule a convenient time for you to meet us at the property.
- After our visit, we’ll prepare your offer and walk you through it.
How much money will I get for my house?
We recognize that this is likely one of your primary questions. Each offer we make on a house is influenced by several factors. The key considerations include the location, size, condition, finishes, recent sales of nearby homes, and our intended plans for the property.
We take all of these elements into account to formulate an offer that suits your needs. Additionally, we consider your short-term plans and aim to structure our offer in a way that supports you in achieving them.
How do I know your cash offer is fair?
We recognize that making realistic offers is essential for us to successfully purchase homes. That’s why we strive to provide you with an offer that meets your needs. We work diligently to manage renovation costs and keep our rehab budget low, allowing us to pass some of those savings on to you.
Our offers are ultimately based on the property’s potential value after renovations and the estimated costs involved in those renovations. If you’re interested, we can explain how we arrive at your offer. And remember, there’s no obligation for you to accept it. Even if we don’t end up being your buyer, we’re committed to sharing as much information as possible to help you make informed decisions about your situation.
Do you pay a set percentage of market value?
No. There’s no fixed percentage. Every offer starts with what similar homes nearby sold for, then subtracts the real cost of the repairs your house needs. A house that needs little work gets a very different offer than one that needs a new roof and furnace. We show you how we got the number, and there’s never any obligation to accept.
What if I don’t like your offer?
You have zero obligation to us and we have zero requirements for you. Once you contact us about your property, we will schedule a walkthrough at your convenience, and make you an offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. Just because we make an offer does not mean you owe us anything. It is 100% your decision on whether or not you would like to sell your house to us. We let you decide what is right for you and your situation on your timeline.
How does a cash offer benefit me?
The main advantages of a cash offer for your home are convenience and simplicity. When a lender is involved, transactions become much more complex due to various requirements that must be fulfilled. This often puts a burden on the seller at a time when things are already stressful for them. Additionally, lenders typically won’t approve loans for properties that require significant repairs. A cash offer eliminates these complications, allowing you to receive the funds you need quickly.
A cash offer is one that does not depend on the buyer getting a loan. Most offers that involve a lender only go through if the buyer’s loan is approved. If the loan falls through, the buyer can back out. This happens often with financed buyers, but it’s one less concern you’ll have when dealing with a cash buyer.
What fees do you charge?
We charge no fees. When we make an offer, no fees or commissions come out of it. In contrast, selling your home on the market often involves agent fees, which usually run 5–6% of the sale price. Additionally, closing costs can run into the thousands if the buyer requests you to cover them. Retail buyers also frequently conduct inspections and may ask for a list of repairs, which can lead to further expenses and delays.
With us, you won’t have to worry about any of these fees. We don’t charge agent fees, we cover your closing costs, and we won’t ask you to make any repairs. These benefits alone can save you thousands of dollars and months of time. You get your cash quickly.
What am I required to do?
Nothing. Rather than catering to a potential buyer’s requirements, you can sit back and relax until closing day. If you’re still living in the property, you’ll need to arrange for your belongings to be moved, but we’re more than happy to assist you with that if you’d like.
Additionally, we will take care of all the paperwork and coordination needed to reach the closing table. We work with a licensed local title company to make sure everything goes smoothly. When we say we’re a full-service home buying company, we truly mean it.
What about repairs to the property?
One of the greatest advantages of partnering with us is that we will never require you to make any repairs when selling your home to us. Buyers using a loan often go over every detail and hand you a long list of repairs.
Depending on the age and condition of the property, we may choose to hire a home inspector for our own due diligence. However, this is solely for our reference to understand what repairs we may need to address. You can rest assured that you won’t have to make any repairs when you work with us.
How long does it take to close?
Since we’re not purchasing your house for personal use, we can accommodate your timeline. If you need a few months to transition to your new home, we can make that work. If you need a quick closing for any reason, we can close in as little as 3–5 business days*.
What do you do with the houses you buy?
That varies based on the location, condition, and size of the house, as well as the arrangement we make with the seller. However, here are some of the most common ways we utilize the properties we purchase:
- Renovate them for resale
- Renovate them for rental purposes
- Assist individuals who may not qualify for a loan, such as business owners, in becoming homeowners
- Operate short-term rentals
We make it a win-win-win solution for all parties involved.
What’s the difference between you and a real estate agent?
Real estate agents focus on listing properties on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), but we are the ones who will actually purchase your house. When you work with us, you won’t have to worry about whether someone will make an offer on your home. We’ll provide you with one directly. Plus, you won’t have to wonder who is buying your property because we are your buyers.
While many people confuse agents and investors due to their involvement in real estate, their roles are quite distinct. If you’re comfortable preparing your property for listing, accommodating multiple showings, and navigating the entire traditional sales process to secure the highest offer, then working with an agent may be the right choice for you. However, if you prefer to avoid the hassles and receive a fair offer for your home right away, we can make that happen.
