Q: Who typically sells their houses to your company?
A: Anyone who needs to sell a house. We buy houses of all types and in any condition, from a wide range of situations. Here are a few common ones:
- People who are relocating or have already relocated
- People who have purchased a new home and want to sell their old house
- Needing to get rid of a problem rental
- Not able to sell it on the MLS listing services or with an agent fast enough
- Short time frame and need to sell fast
- Inherited an estate and want to get the cash for it
- Facing foreclosure or behind on payments
- Need to liquidate because of medical bills, bankruptcy, divorce or other reasons
- Many more scenarios where you need to sell fast
- Homeowners that want to sell without using a realtor
- Going through a short sale or wanting to avoid a short sale
The one thing that most people we buy from have in common, is they need a fast, simple solution to sell their house, without all of the typical associated hassles.
Q: Do you buy houses in need of repair?
A: Absolutely! The houses we buy range from houses in excellent condition, to houses that are complete tear downs and need to be rebuilt from the ground up. We specialize in buying all types of properties including houses that need major, minor repair or no repairs. No need to do any fix ups when you sell to us, that’s our job.
Q: Do you really pay all cash for a house?
A: Of course. If your house is a fit for our investment needs, and we can come to an agreement on price, we can certainly pay cash for your house and close in a very timely manner. We also have other options for you to choose from and a special way of buying houses that about 80% or our sellers do with us as well that we can share with you and then you pick what option works best for you.
Q: How do you decide how much to pay for my house?
A: Good question. Since we are expert house buyers, we understand the markets that we are working in. What we will do is determine the comparable price for your house based on other similar properties that are selling or have sold in your area. Then we’ll determine what repairs are needed and the cost to facilitate those repairs. We’ll subtract that from the comparable prices and also add in the selling cost that you would pay selling through a realtor, and a reasonable profit. That’s a simple overview of how we come up with a target price for your house and you will net close to what you would get if you sold through a realtor but sell within 7 days or less!
Q: Do I have to sell my house if you make an offer or if I contact you?
A: Absolutely not. There is no obligation whatsoever. Feel free to contact us and share some details about the house you want to sell. We will be honest and give you a fair cash offer on the property and all our options to purchase. If that works for you, great! If it doesn’t you can either counter offer or decide not to sell your house. It’s your house, there is no pressure or obligation from us at all.
Q: How does the process work?

4. If we agree to do business together, we will handle all the details and paperwork and a fast professional closing. You’ll be finished with the house and can put it behind you and move on with your life and plans.
It really is that simple!
Q: Are there any fees involved? Do I have to pay you?
