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 (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses Columbia 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.
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, 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!)

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 and works for you too.
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 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 on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the house from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and it’s payments… and often with cash in your hand).
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 (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. 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’re 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).
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 and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.

Selling your home? You probably dream of offers exceeding expectations, a bidding war, and pockets jingling with newfound wealth. But turning that dream into reality requires more than just wishing on a "For Sale" sign. It's about strategic improvements that boost your home's appeal and value. Ditch the outdated wallpaper and leaky faucets. Let's talk about the must-have home improvements that'll transform your abode into a cash magnet.
Curb Appeal Charisma:
First impressions matter, and your home's exterior is the first handshake. Pressure wash that grimy siding, replace the chipped mailbox, and plant vibrant flowers for a pop of color. A fresh coat of paint on the front door (think modern greys or welcoming yellows) adds instant wow factor. Remember, manicured lawns and trimmed hedges whisper "I'm well-maintained!"
Kitchen: Culinary Kingdom or Cooking Calamity?
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and buyers crave modern functionality and timeless aesthetics. Minor tweaks can yield major returns. Swap out dated cabinet hardware for sleek pulls, refresh countertops with neutral quartz or butcher block, and ditch the avocado-green appliances for stainless steel stars. Bonus points for energy-efficient upgrades like a smart fridge or induction cooktop.
Bathroom Bliss or Bathtub Blues?
Bathrooms are havens of personal rejuvenation, so make them spa-worthy. Replace that chipped vanity with a floating countertop and vessel sink for a clean, contemporary look. Swap out dingy shower curtains for glass enclosures, and install sleek faucets and fixtures. Even minor details like plush towels and scented candles can leave a lasting impression.
Living Large: More Than Just Square Footage
Maximize your living space by decluttering and strategically arranging furniture. Let natural light flood in with sheer curtains and remove bulky wall hangings that create a cramped feel. Consider converting an unused attic into a bonus room or finishing the basement for a cozy media den. Bonus points for built-in shelves or a fireplace that adds warmth and functionality.
Energy Efficiency: Save Green, Earn Green
Eco-conscious buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy-efficient homes. Invest in smart thermostats, LED lighting, and energy-star appliances. Upgrade your insulation and seal drafty windows to keep heating and cooling costs low. Bonus points for solar panels or a rainwater harvesting system – these scream "responsible homeowner."
Remember, It's the Little Things:
Don't underestimate the power of small touches. Fresh paint throughout, refinished hardwood floors, and new light fixtures can breathe new life into tired spaces. Replace cracked door handles, fix squeaky hinges, and ensure every faucet runs smoothly. These minor fixes show meticulous attention to detail, a quality buyers crave.
Ready to Turn Your Home into a Goldmine?
By implementing these must-have improvements, you'll not only create a more enjoyable living space, but also attract a wider pool of potential buyers willing to pay top dollar. Remember, every dollar invested in strategic upgrades can translate into thousands more in your pocket come sale time.
