Frequently Asked Questions
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.
HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM A REAL ESTATE AGENT?
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 PROPERTY (SO IF IT’S A $100,000 PROPERTY, 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 PROPERTY BUYERS. OUR COMPANY ACTUALLY BUYS PROPERTIES. WE DON’T LIST PROPERTIES. SINCE WE’RE ACTUALLY THE ONE BUYING THE PROPERTY FROM YOU. AGAIN, REPAIR THE PROPERTY, AND MARKET IT OURSELVES TO FIND A BUYER (WHICH IS THE HARD PART IN THIS MARKET).
IS THERE ANY OBLIGATION WHEN I SUBMIT MY INFO?
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 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 PROPERTY 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.
