A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren\u2019t necessarily expecting a large \u201cwindfall\u201d on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we 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 pay agent fees. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast\u2026 let\u2019s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give\u2026 but it\u2019s good to know what we\u2019re offering!)<\/p>\n
A: Great question, and we\u2019re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location<\/em><\/strong> of the property, what repairs<\/em><\/strong> are needed, the current condition<\/em><\/strong> 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\u2019t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration\u2026 and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.<\/p>\n 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 to us. We\u2019ll make you an offer, and if it\u2019s a fit then we\u2019ll buy your house (and we\u2019ll 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\u2019re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the house from you\u2026 the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments\u2026 and often with cash in your hand).<\/p>\n 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\u2019s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it\u2019s a $100,000 house, you\u2019ll pay between $3,000 \u2013 $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\u2019t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that\u2019s where we\u2019re different: We\u2019re not agents, we\u2019re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don\u2019t list houses. Since we\u2019re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash\u2026 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).<\/p>\n A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we\u2019ll 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\u2019s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it\u2019s 100% your decision on whether or not you\u2019d like to sell your house to us\u2026 and we won\u2019t hassle you, won\u2019t harass you\u2026 it\u2019s 100% your decision and we\u2019ll let you decide what\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FAQ Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
