A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses near your hometown that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves. We enjoy improving communities.
A: 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. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for everyone.
A: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we 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 hopefully sell it for a profit (we’re taking the risks 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 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 75+ days) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Agents provide a great service for those that can wait for months to sell , who are not intimidated by inspections and financing contingencies, 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 your house. 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).
