Q.  Who usually sells their houses to you?
A.  Great question. Actually, that’s one of the most frequently asked questions we get, and the answer is simple.  Homeowners from all walks of life sell houses, homes and properties for a number of reasons, including:

• Facing foreclosure
• Desire to sell an inherited property
• Tired of making mortgage payment for a property they don’t live in
• Relocating to a new area
• No money to make repairs
• Getting rid of a rental property

Q.  What type of houses do you buy?
A.  Homes that require serious repair or ones that keep homeowners captive in bad situations.  This typically includes:

• Houses facing foreclosure
• Houses requiring repairs or updates
• Landlords tired of tenants
• Inherited houses
• Houses that are no longer convenient for homeowners, such as a long commute to a new job
• Houses with bad memories for a homeowner, such as death, tragic experience, or divorce
• Houses in undesirable areas or in high crime neighborhoods
• Houses that cause any other type of disadvantage to a homeowner

Q.  How does the process work when selling our home to you?
A.  It’s a simple four step process: (1) you contact us and tell us about the house (2) we visit the house (3) we make you a no-obligation cash offer to buy the house (4) if you accept our offer, we buy your house hassle free.

Q.  Can I expect a market value offer for my home?
A.  When selling your home to us we’ll consider the condition of your home, and will make a fair offer to pay cash.  In determining the offer we’ll discount from the estimated retail value after it is fully renovated.  This means we’ll buy your home for cash at a price that is below market value due to necessary repairs, renovation and other factors.  You will enjoy the conveniences of an all cash closing when selling your home to us.  You won’t have to deal with any mortgage approval hassles, you won’t have to pay any normal closing costs, and you don’t have to make repairs to your home.  Close as quickly as within seven days of receiving an offer for cash, and you’re free of the worries of owning that house.

Q.  How do you determine the price you will offer for my house?
A.  We take a number of factors into consideration when determining a cash offer.  After visiting your home and going over our frequently asked questions and any additional questions you may have, our representative will evaluate:

• The existing condition of your home
• The extent and cost of repairs needed to resell your home
• The time it will take to finish needed repairs
• The value of your home compared to other comparable homes in the area
• The real estate commission required to resell your home
• The costs associated with maintaining your home during repairs, including taxes, payments, insurance, utilities, homeowner dues, and more

Q.  Do you buy condos and townhouses, too?
A.  Yes, we buy single family homes, duplexes, multi-tenant buildings, townhouses, condos, apartments, and occasionally some commercial properties.

Q.  Do you buy mobile homes?
A.  No. If you’re selling your home and it’s a mobile or manufactured home, we will be unable to make an offer. This is regardless of whether it’s on a fixed foundation or tied down.

Q.  Do I have to pay a fee for you to make an offer on my home?
A.  No. You never have to pay anything for us to make an offer when you’re interested in selling your home for cash.  We’ll schedule a visit at a time that’s convenient for you, answer your questions, evaluate your home, and make an all cash offer with no obligation, and at no cost to you.

Q.  Do I have to sell to you if I contact you for a cash offer?
A.  No. You’re never obligated to sell to us when we submit an offer.  You can choose to accept our cash offer, or you can choose not to.  The decision is all up to you and the offer is with no obligation and no cost to you.
