Frequently Asked Questions
You probably have questions, and that’s completely normal. Below is a collection of some frequently asked questions we encounter, along with detailed answers. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us anytime—we’re here to help!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We’re not real estate agents, so we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy properties directly from homeowners for cash, quickly and efficiently. After purchasing a property, we might repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental property.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We aim to pay fair prices for properties, even if they are often below market value. We do this to resell at a profit or to renovate and rent out. We seek fair discounts on properties, recognizing that many sellers prioritize the ease and speed of our process over getting a potentially higher price on the open market. Many sellers appreciate our cash offers, quick closings, and the fact that they don’t need to spend time or money fixing up the property or paying agent fees. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you have full control over whether to accept our offer, but we ensure it’s a competitive one!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Our pricing strategy involves a thorough assessment of the property based on its current condition, the cost of necessary repairs, and the comparable sales in the neighborhood. We take into account various factors to ensure our offer is fair and reflects the real value of your property in its current state.
Q: What kind of fees can I expect to pay when working with you?
A: There are no fees when you sell your house to us. We don’t charge commissions, and we typically cover all closing costs. Our goal is to make your selling experience as smooth and financially beneficial for you as possible.
Q: How quickly can you close on my house?
A: We can close quickly, typically within 7 to 14 days, depending on your specific situation and the legal requirements in your area. If you need a faster or slower closing, we can usually accommodate your needs.
Q: Are there any obligations if I submit my info?
A: Absolutely not. When you send us information about your property, you are under no obligation to accept our offer or continue with the process. We believe in transparent communication and pressure-free decisions.
Q: What if my house is in really bad shape? Will you still buy it?
A: Yes, we buy houses in any condition! Whether your house needs minor touch-ups or major repairs, we’re interested. Our goal is to make the selling process easier for you, so you don’t need to worry about the condition of your property.
Q: Can you help if I’m facing foreclosure?
A: Yes, we often help homeowners who are facing foreclosure by buying their homes quickly for cash, which can help avoid the foreclosure process and protect their credit. If you’re in this situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to see how we can assist you.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question! Our pricing process is transparent and straightforward. Here’s how we determine the offer:
- Property Location: The area where your house is located significantly influences its market value. We look at the desirability of the neighborhood, local amenities, and overall demand in the area.
- Required Repairs: We assess the cost of necessary repairs and renovations. This includes everything from minor cosmetic updates to major structural fixes.
- Current Property Condition: We evaluate the current state of your house, considering age, style, and any wear and tear it has undergone.
- Comparable Sales: We analyze the prices of similar homes recently sold in your area to ensure our offer reflects the current market trends.
By considering these factors, we aim to provide a fair price that benefits both you and us, ensuring a swift and satisfactory transaction.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: One of the biggest advantages of working with us is that there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. Here’s what you can expect:
- No Commissions: Unlike traditional real estate sales, we don’t charge any commissions.
- No Hidden Fees: There are no hidden costs. We aim to be as transparent as possible.
- Closing Costs: We often pay for the closing costs, which can save you thousands of dollars.
We make our profit after buying the property, investing in necessary repairs, and selling it for a profit. We absorb all the risks of the market, repairs, and selling process. Once we purchase your home, all the responsibilities, including payments and upkeep, transfer to us. You walk away with cash and without any further burdens.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents and our company operate quite differently in the housing market. Here’s a breakdown of those differences:
- Agents: Real estate agents list properties and facilitate the sale by showing them to prospective buyers. Their process can be lengthy, often taking 6-12 months to sell a property. They earn a commission, typically 3-6% of the sale price, which means on a $100,000 house, you could pay $3,000 to $6,000 in agent fees.
- Us: We don’t list properties; we buy them directly from you. This approach allows us to:
- Make Quick Decisions: We can make a cash offer quickly, often within a couple of days, and sometimes on the same day you contact us.
- Eliminate Wait Times: You don’t have to wait months for a buyer. We buy your house directly.
- Skip Commissions and Fees: No commissions or hidden fees are involved. We make our living by taking on the risk of buying with our cash, handling repairs, and selling the property.
This direct buying approach is perfect for those who need to sell quickly or want to avoid the hassles and costs of traditional real estate transactions.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: Absolutely not. When you share details about your property with us, you’re under no obligation to proceed. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Contact: You tell us about your property. We review the information and may arrange a call to discuss further details.
- Fair Cash Offer: We then make a no-obligation cash offer based on what is fair for both you and us.
- Your Decision: The final decision to sell is completely up to you. We provide the offer and give you the space and time to decide what’s best for you without any pressure.
