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 a house can feel like an epic journey – navigating inspections, negotiations, and endless open houses. But what if you could fast-forward the process and land a buyer in a blink? Well, buckle up, because we're about to unveil expert tips to sell your house faster than you can say "closing costs."
Price it Right, Strike it Rich:
Know your market: Research recent sales of similar homes in your area. A realistic price attracts serious buyers, while an inflated one scares them away.
Consider professional appraisal: A professional opinion can give you valuable insights into your home's true worth.
Price strategically: Leave room for negotiation, but don't undervalue your property. Remember, first impressions matter, and a bargain-basement price might raise red flags.
First Impressions Matter:
Curb appeal is king: Give your house a facelift. Mow the lawn, plant vibrant flowers, and power wash the driveway. A tidy exterior screams, "Welcome home!"
Declutter and depersonalize: Let buyers envision themselves living there. Pack away family photos and knick-knacks, and rearrange furniture to maximize space.
Deep clean and freshen up: Sparkling surfaces and a neutral scent create a welcoming atmosphere. Tackle grime in the kitchen and bathroom, and don't forget the windows!
Presentation is Everything:
Hire a professional photographer: High-quality photos showcase your home's best features and entice online buyers.
Craft a compelling listing: Write a descriptive and engaging ad that highlights your home's unique selling points.
Stage your home: Rent furniture or borrow pieces that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Think cozy throws, potted plants, and tasteful artwork.
Spread the Word, Reap the Rewards:
Utilize all channels: List your house on multiple platforms, including popular websites and social media.
Host open houses: Make it easy for buyers to see your home. Offer refreshments and answer questions confidently.
Hold virtual tours: Cater to tech-savvy buyers with interactive 3D tours or video walkthroughs.
Sweeten the Deal, Close the Seal:
Offer incentives: Consider covering closing costs, offering a home warranty, or including desirable appliances in the sale.
Be flexible with showings: Accommodate buyers' schedules and make them feel valued.
Work with a rockstar agent: A good agent knows the market, negotiates like a pro, and handles the paperwork seamlessly.
