Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. 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 and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers. We buy houses in Central Florida 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.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, close very quickly (no waiting for financing) and no time, effort or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s 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. But it’s good to know what we’re offering!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: 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 as well as you.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
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’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 as to whether we can sell it for a profit or not, after purchasing the house from you. The responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and it’s payments, often with cash in your hand.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
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, and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. The average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months. 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 are 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).
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: 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 as well as us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We won’t hassle or harass you – It’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
