Frequently Asked Questions
Selling your house for cash may be entirely new to you, and you probably have a lot of questions. The good news is that we’ve worked with countless homeowners in your exact situation and learned the most common questions that arise. We’ve consolidated them all here, along with our answers.
We hope this educates you on how we operate. But if there is something else you’re curious about that we haven’t answered here, feel free to contact us or give us a call, and we’d be happy to discuss it with you. We’re here to help!
How Long Will It Be Until I Get an Offer?
We strive to get an offer to you as quickly as possible. But at the same time, we want to make an offer based on your property’s current condition and your situation. Because of that, we typically don’t make an offer until we’ve had a chance to meet with you and view the house. And trust us – it’s better this way! That way, we can give you a confident offer based on reality.
Here’s how our typical process works. We’ll first have a phone conversation with you to see if we will be a good fit for each other. Then, we’ll set an appointment whenever you’re free to meet with you at the house. After that, we’ll put an offer together for you. We typically have your offer ready within hours of meeting with you or at least by the following day.
How Long Will It Be Until Closing?
Since we’re not buying your house to live in, we can work on your timeline. Need a few months to get moved to your new place? We can handle that! On the flip side, if you need to close very quickly for some reason, you’ve come to the right place! We have the means to close in 7-10 days if need be.
Will I Have to Make Repairs?
This is one of the biggest benefits of working with us. We will never ask you to make repairs when you sell your house to us. Compare that to a retail buyer that knit-picks every detail of your home and comes to you with a long list of repairs.
Depending on the age and condition of the home, we might hire a home inspector for due diligence. However, this is only for our reference so that we know what we need to repair. You can be confident that you will not have to make a single repair when working with us.
What Will I Have to do?
Absolutely nothing! Instead of having to pander to prospective buyers, you get to relax and wait for closing day. If you’re living in the property, you will need to coordinate moving your belongings, but we can even help you with that if you’d like!
On top of that, we will handle all the paperwork and coordination to get to the closing table. We have a great team, including a fantastic title company, that will make the sales process extremely smooth for you. When we say we’re a full-service real estate company, we mean it!
What are the Benefits of a Cash Offer?
The primary benefits of a cash offer on your house are convenience and simplicity. Transactions are way more complicated when a lender is involved because they often have special requirements that must be met. Not to mention that lenders won’t approve a loan on properties that need significant repairs. A cash offer cuts out all of these requirements and gets you what you need, money in your pocket in the shortest time possible.
The definition of a cash offer is an offer with no financing contingency. Nearly all traditional offers involving a lender include a contingency based on the buyer’s ability to obtain financing. If they can’t qualify, they are allowed to back out of the deal and receive their earnest money back. This happens quite a bit with retail buyers. But that is another thing you don’t have to worry about when working with a cash buyer.
