Frequently Asked Questions
It’s normal to have questions. Maybe you think this is too good to be true, or that there is some catch. We promise you there isn’t. We have compiled some of the questions we get asked most frequently and their answers below. If these don’t fully satisfy your curiosity, just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
Q: What are my obligations if I request a fair cash offer?
A: You might be hesitant to request a free quote, expecting to be pressured into selling your house to us, or that if you don’t we’ll continue to call and harass you, but we really mean it when we say no obligation. We want to make offers that are in the best interest of both parties, and it is entirely up to you if you decide to take our offer or not. Even if we request more information in order to provide a quote, you have no obligation to respond to us or go any further with the process. Fair enough?
Q: What fees will I have to pay out of pocket to you?
A: We charge no fees or commission, and that is why we feel we’re a better deal than going the traditional route of listing your house. We assess your home’s value and provide an offer at absolutely no cost to you. If you decide to sell your property to us, you won’t have to pay any agent commissions or anything of that nature. We also typically take care of the closing costs, so there is no money required of you up front to begin the process.
Q: What is the difference between you and a real estate agent?
A: When you sign on with a real estate agent or broker, you usually have to sign an agreement to pay them a percentage of the amount you get for your house. The agent will list your property on the market, take questions and show the house to interested buyers to obtain a sale. Their incentive is the commission, but they have no real investment in your property outside of the time and energy it takes them to sell your house.
We, on the other hand, take a financial risk by buying your property intending to get it ready for the market and make some profit in the end. If we don’t make a profit, it is all on us. Meanwhile, you aren’t waiting months on end for a buyer to make an offer, going through a lengthy closing process, and paying agent fees out of what could have been your profit. With us, we are the buyers, with no middlemen, no fees, and because we pay in cash, we aren’t encumbered by getting a loan or any of those other time wasters.
Q: Will you actually be buying my property, or just listing it on the MLS?
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: 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).
Q: Will I get a fair price for my home?
A: We will offer you a fair price that not only lets you walk away satisfied, but that also allows us the possibility of making some profit down the road. This means that many of our offers are slightly below the current market value. What we've noticed though is most of our sellers are more interested in selling their home quickly without having to repair their home, wait for the listing, pay the fees, and all the other hassles with selling it the traditional way. If that describes your situation, then we should talk. There is no risk in getting our free, no obligation, cash offer just to see if it makes sense for you to take this route.
Q: How do you come up with the price you offer on my house?
