Questions asked by our Clients
We ALWAYS use a title company to make sure everything is done correctly for the Seller (you) and Buyer (us)
No! We have a “Buy as it is Program” that allows you to leave anything you do not want to take with you behind. Only worry about taking the items that you want out of the house, anything you do not want to take, leave it behind and we will handle it! (clothes, trash, furniture, etc)
What distinguishes us from the traditional house-selling method is that there are no fees or commissions when you sell your house to us directly. We’ll present you with an offer, and if it’s acceptable, we’ll purchase your house without any hassles or hidden charges. We often cover the closing costs as well! Our profit comes after we repair the house and either sell it at a profit or rent it out. We assume the risk of whether we can sell it at a profit. Once we purchase the house from you, we take on all the responsibilities, freeing you from the property’s burdens and payments, and you leave with cash in hand.
Real estate brokers and agents earn their income through property listings, marketing homes under exclusive seller’s agent contracts that typically last 6-12 months—the usual time frame for selling a property in many regions. Their primary aim is to earn a commission, which is a percentage of the home’s sale price when they successfully find a buyer. This commission usually ranges from 5%-6%, which can mean a significant financial loss for homeowners during the sale process. Moreover, if a property fails to sell, the financial impact is even greater for owners tied to a selling contract, especially in a sluggish housing market where the property value may be less than the mortgage owed. In such pressing circumstances, waiting for an agent to secure a buyer isn’t viable. This is where professional property buyers step in. Companies like ours offer an immediate cash purchase of properties, enabling homeowners to close the deal, settle their mortgage, and potentially secure some much-needed cash in as little as 7 days, bypassing the lengthy wait to dispose of an unwanted property. Unlike conventional buyers with extensive criteria, our focus is solely on the investment potential of properties, aiming for a swift purchase, renovation, and subsequent sale or rental for profit.
That’s a great question, and we pride ourselves on transparency. Our valuation process is quite direct. We evaluate the property’s location, necessary repairs, its current state, and the recent sale prices of similar homes in the area. By considering these various factors, we determine a fair price that is agreeable to both of us.
We will review the information you’ve provided and may reach out to you by phone, email, or any medium for further details about your circumstances and the property you wish to sell. After evaluating the particulars of your home, we typically can present a fair and equitable all-cash offer for your property that benefits both parties. Receiving an offer from our Better properties comes with no obligation on your part. We assure you that the decision to sell your home remains entirely in your hands. Should you choose to sell to us, the process will be swift, and you will have the flexibility to select a closing date that accommodates your timeline.
