That’s okay; most people do. So here’s a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us… along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional
home buyers: We buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we
may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental
ourselves.

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. 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 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).

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.
