Frequently Asked Questions

A: Great question. I am not an agent, and I don’t list houses. I am a professional home buyer: I buy houses that meet my purchasing criteria. From there I may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

A: Many of the houses I purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). I am looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in my experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that I can offer cash, I close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort, or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pays agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s see if I can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, my no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what I am offering!)

A: Great question and I am an open book: My process is very straightforward. I look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. I take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for me and works for you too.

A: This is what makes my service stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to me. I'll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then I'll buy your house (and I'll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. I make my money after I pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (I am taking the risks here on whether I can sell it for a profit or not, once I buy the house from you… the responsibility is mine and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand).

A: 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 take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 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 actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes 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 (which is the hard part in this market).

A: 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… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
