How long will it be until I get an offer?
We strive to get an offer to you as quickly as possible, however, we want to share our best offer based on your property’s current condition and the current market. Because of that, we typically make an offer once we’ve had a chance to meet with you and view the property. Trust us – it’s better this way! That way, we can give you a confident offer and solutions that work best for you.
Here’s how our typical process works. We’ll first have a phone conversation with you to see if we will be a good fit for each other. Then, we’ll set an appointment whenever you’re free to meet with you at the house. After that, we’ll put an offer together for you. We typically have your offer ready within hours of meeting with you or at least by the following day.
How long will it be until closing?
Since we’re not buying your property as a primary residence, we can work on your timeline. Need a few months to get moved to your new place? We can handle that! On the flip side, if you need to close very quickly for any reason, you’ve come to the right place! We have the means to close in 7-10 days if need be.
Will I have to make repairs?
This is one of the biggest benefits of working with us. We will never ask you to make repairs when you work with us. Compare that to a retail buyer that knit-picks every detail of your home and comes to you with a long list of repairs.
Depending on the age and condition of the home, we might hire a home inspector for due diligence. However, this is only for our reference so that we know what we need to repair. You can be confident that you will not have to make a single repair when working with us.
What will I have to do?
Absolutely nothing! Instead of having to pander to prospective buyers, you get to relax and wait for closing day. If you’re living in the property, you will need to coordinate moving your belongings.
On top of that, we will handle all the paperwork and coordination to get to the closing table. We have a great team, including a fantastic title company, that will make the sales process extremely smooth for you. When we say we’re a full-service real estate company, we mean it!
What do you do with the houses you buy?
That depends on the location, condition, and size of the house as well as the agreement we structure with you. Here are some of our most common uses for properties we buy:
- Fix them up to sell
- Fix them up to rent
- Help people that can’t qualify for a loan, such as business owners, to own a home
- Short-term rentals
What are the benefits of a cash offer?
The primary benefits of a cash offer on your house are convenience and simplicity. Transactions are more complex when a lender is involved because they often have special requirements that must be met. Not to mention that lenders won’t approve a loan on properties that may need significant repairs. A cash offer cuts out all of these requirements and gets you what you need, money in your pocket in the shortest time possible.
The definition of a cash offer is an offer with no financing contingency. Nearly all traditional offers involving a lender include a contingency based on the buyer’s ability to obtain financing. If they can’t qualify, they are allowed to back out of the deal and receive their earnest money back. That is another thing you don’t have to worry about when working with a cash buyer.
Do you make fair offers?
We understand that if we don’t make realistic offers, we’ll never be able to buy houses. Therefore, we do everything we can to give you our best offer. We work hard and have developed exclusive partnerships to control renovation expenses and keep our rehab budget low so that we can pass some of those savings on to you.
Ultimately, we base our offers on the finished value of the property. Our goal is to always be 100% transparent; We are always happy to share how we calculate our offer. And remember, you have no obligation to accept it! If our cash offer doesn’t work for you, we offer very flexible services and solutions, and can help you discover what next steps may be best for you.
Do you charge any fees?
Extra fees can add up when selling real estate. We make things easy and charge zero fees! When we make an offer on your property, the price you see is the price you will get at closing. Compare that to selling your house on the market. First, agent fees are typically 6% of the sales price. Also, closing costs can be several thousand dollars if the buyer asks you to pay them. Lastly, retail buyers often perform inspections and request a list of repairs which can cost thousands of dollars.
You won’t have to worry about any of these fees when you work with us. We don’t charge agent fees, we pay your closing costs, and we won’t ask you to fix anything. These perks alone can save you tens of thousands of dollars!
How much will you pay for my house?
We understand that this might be one of the top questions on your mind. Several factors go into each offer that we make on a house. The most important considerations are the location, size, condition, finishes, and what nearby homes have sold for.
We take all of these things into account and work to calculate an offer that will work for you. We also consider your near-term plans and try to structure our offer to help you meet them!
