House Cash Buyers FAQ
We understand that selling your home is a big decision, and naturally, you may have a few questions. That’s perfectly fine—most homeowners do! Below is a comprehensive list of some of the most common questions we receive, along with detailed answers. If you still have any questions after reading through these, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly, either by phone or email. We’re always here to help!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: That’s a great question! Unlike traditional real estate agents, we’re not here to list your property on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and wait for potential buyers. We are professional home buyers. This means we purchase houses directly from homeowners. As a local company, We buy houses in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and the surrounding Lehigh Valley area that fit our buying criteria. Once we purchase a home, we typically completely renovate it and maintain it as a rental property, that serves as a part of our community.
Our goal is to simplify the home-selling process for you by purchasing your house outright, without the hassle and delays that can come with listing it on the market. You don’t have to worry about dealing with showings, open houses, or waiting months for the right buyer to come along.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Yes, we aim to offer a price that is fair for both sides, but it’s important to note that we are investors. This means we typically don’t offer full market value for a property. The houses we purchase are often below market value, which allows us to repair the property and resell it at a profit. This is how we run our business.
However, many homeowners we work with value the convenience and speed we offer. Here’s why: we buy homes as-is, in cash, and we close quickly. There’s no need for you to spend time and money on repairs or renovations, and you won’t have to pay any agent commissions or fees. We also take care of the closing costs, which is another significant expense you won’t have to worry about. If you’re looking to get a fair cash offer and sell your home quickly without the usual hassle, we could be a great option for you.
In our experience, most sellers aren’t looking for a huge windfall but rather appreciate the fast, hassle-free process. If that’s what you’re looking for, let’s see if we can come to a win-win solution for your property. And remember, our offer comes with no obligation—you don’t have to accept it, but at least you’ll know what we can provide.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We’re completely transparent about how we come up with our offer, and we’re happy to walk you through it step by step. Our process is straightforward and takes into account several important factors:
- Location of the Property: Location is one of the biggest factors when determining a home’s value. We look at where your home is situated and assess the desirability of the neighborhood.
- Condition of the Property: We take into account the current state of your property. Are repairs needed? Is it in move-in condition, or does it require significant work? The more work that’s needed, the more that will factor into our offer.
- Comparable Sales: We look at what other similar homes in your area have sold for recently. This helps us get a sense of the market and what buyers are willing to pay for homes in similar condition to yours.
- Repairs and Upgrades Needed: We assess how much it would cost to bring your home up to market standards. The more repairs and upgrades a home needs, the more that affects the price we’re able to offer.
Our goal is to make an offer that’s fair for you and makes sense for us as investors. We take all these elements into account, calculate our costs, and present you with a no-obligation offer.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: No, and that’s one of the major advantages of working with us! When you sell your house to us, there are absolutely no fees or commissions involved. Unlike selling through a real estate agent, where you may be required to pay 5-6% of the sale price in commissions (which can add up to thousands of dollars), we don’t charge anything.
Here’s how it works: Once we agree on a price for your property, that’s the price you’ll receive. We cover all the closing costs and handle the paperwork. You don’t have to worry about any hidden fees popping up before closing.
Plus, since we buy houses as-is, you don’t need to spend any money on repairs, staging, or upgrades to make your home more marketable. We take on the risk of repairing and reselling the home, so you can walk away with cash in hand and without any headaches.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: The key difference between us and a real estate agent is that agents list your home on the market, whereas we buy your house directly. Real estate agents act as middlemen between you and potential buyers, marketing your home, arranging showings, and helping with negotiations. In exchange for their services, they take a commission (usually 3-6% of the sale price). The traditional selling process can often take 6-12 months, and even after all that time, there’s no guarantee you’ll get your asking price.
We, on the other hand, are home buyers. We don’t list your home or wait for potential buyers—we buy directly from you, which means we can close on your timeline, often within days or weeks. There’s no waiting around for buyer financing or the possibility of the sale falling through at the last minute. We pay in cash, which allows for a quick and hassle-free transaction.
Another difference is that with a real estate agent, you’re responsible for making any necessary repairs or upgrades to get your home market-ready. When you sell to us, you don’t need to worry about repairs or updates. We buy homes in any condition, so you can skip the time, effort, and expense of getting your home ready to sell.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: Absolutely not. When you reach out to us, whether through our website or by phone, there’s zero obligation on your part. Once you tell us a little bit about your property, we’ll do our research, review the details, and possibly arrange a time to visit the home. After that, we’ll present you with a fair, no-obligation cash offer.
From there, it’s entirely up to you whether you want to accept our offer. We won’t hassle you, pressure you, or try to convince you to sell if it’s not the right fit for you. We believe in offering homeowners an easy, stress-free solution for selling their homes. You’re free to take as much time as you need to make a decision, and we’ll be here if you choose to move forward with us.
