Sell Your House Fast: Frequently Asked Questions
Great question and our process is straightforward. We look at the location of the house, what repairs and upgrades are needed, the current condition of the property, and the values of comparable houses sold in the neighborhood recently. We use all of this information to come up with a fair price that works for us and hopefully works for you, too!
This is where we stand out from a traditional real estate agent. There are NO fees, commissions, or closing costs when you sell your house to us! We make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, we buy your house directly from you. We assume all of the risks once we buy the house from you. The responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand from the sale.
There is absolutely zero obligation. Tell us about your property and we’ll take a look to see if it fits our buying criteria. For those houses that do, we can provide you with an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell to us, shop our offer around, or choose a different selling option. We won’t hassle or harass you. It’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). 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, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part of 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!)
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers and then takes a percentage of the sale price once they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 5 to 7% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $5,000 – $7,000 in commissions to an agent).
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in Massachusetts and the surrounding areas that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
