Great question. We try to come up with the solution that best fits your need. If your property is in top condition and you will receive top dollar by listing the property, we will advise you to do so. However, if your home is in need of repair and/or you need to quick, no hassle transaction, we will make a simple cash offer that doesn't require any repairs, inspections, appraisals or bank involvement.
Yes! We base our cash offer of your home on several factors: the extent of repairs your home will need to bring it to top market value, the length of time properties sit on the market in your area, how fast you need to close on the property, whether the property will be vacant, clean, and clear of belongings, etc. We adjust our price to accommodate for all these risk factors we are taking on by buying your home. However, we have many solutions to help you achieve your financial goals and we will work with you to find the right solution for you!
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 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. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risk here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the house from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and it’s payments… and often with cash in your hand).
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. Often, 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 who 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 the one buying the house from you and we pay with all cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within a few days (usually the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy and repair the house with our own cash.
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.
