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.

Need to sell your property fast? Traditional listing routes can feel agonizingly slow, leaving you in limbo – and maybe even stuck with pesky mortgage payments. Enter the tantalizing world of 5-day cash sales, where companies promise quick closings and guaranteed offers in just days. But before you jump headfirst into this whirlwind transaction, let's unpack the pros and cons of selling to cash buyers versus the traditional market.
The Allure of Cash:
Speed Demon: Forget months of open houses and negotiations. Cash buyers close in days, not weeks or months. This is ideal if you're facing foreclosure, relocating urgently, or simply crave a swift financial resolution.
Guaranteed Sale: No more waiting for the "right buyer." Cash buyers come to you, ready to purchase your property as-is, imperfections and all. This eliminates the stress of showings and potential fall-throughs.
Cash in Hand: Say goodbye to contingent offers and financing delays. Cash buyers pay directly, meaning you receive the agreed-upon sum, minus any agreed-upon deductions, right after closing.
The Reality Check:
Discounted Price: Convenience comes at a cost. Cash buyers typically offer below market value, often by 10-20%, to compensate for their quick turnaround. You might sacrifice some profit compared to a traditional sale.
Limited Negotiation: Unlike the give-and-take of conventional sales, cash deals offer little room for negotiation. The initial offer is usually the final offer, so be prepared to accept it as-is.
Hidden Costs: Be wary of hidden fees. Some cash buyers might deduct closing costs, repair charges, or other expenses from your final payout. Read the fine print carefully before signing anything.
5-Day Sale? Weigh Your Options:
A 5-day cash sale is ideal for specific situations:
Time Crunch: If time is of the essence, and other options are exhausted, a cash sale can be a lifesaver.
Financial Distress: Facing foreclosure or urgent debt? A cash sale can provide immediate financial relief.
Inherited Property: Need to offload an unwanted property quickly? A cash sale can simplify the process.
However, if you're not under immediate pressure, a traditional sale might be more lucrative. You could potentially fetch a higher price and have more control over the process.
Before You Decide:
Get Comparative Estimates: Don't rush into a cash deal without understanding your options. Get quotes from traditional real estate agents and compare them to cash buyer offers.
Seek Expert Advice: Consult a trusted financial advisor or lawyer to understand the legal and financial implications of a cash sale.
Read the Fine Print: Scrutinize any contracts from cash buyers before signing. Ensure you understand all fees, deductions, and closing timeframes.
Ultimately, the choice between cash buyers and the traditional market is personal. Analyze your needs, prioritize your goals, and choose the path that best fits your unique situation.
