Frequently Asked Questions
There are a many different reasons why someone would sell their home to an investor first rather than list it, but the most common reason would be because your home is in disrepair or will require work to get it up mortgage lender standards.
Furthermore, homes needing work are usually purchased by investors, whether they are listed or not.
The best way to have a quick and hassle free sale, and to save from paying any real estate commissions, is to sell directly to the investor.
Over the years, investors in the real estate industry have given themselves a bad reputation. Using your desire to sell your home as an advantage against you, they often strive to pay unfair prices even when a fair price would be mutually beneficial.
So, when you decide to shop your property to an investor, make sure you equip yourself with this knowledge:
-
Go with your gut! Usually your gut instinct is correct. If, after meeting them, you feel like someone feels “shady” or less than reputable, then they probably are.
-
Check them out online! The fact is that in today’s technology age, if someone is doing business, they will most certainly have reviews online, ESPECIALLY in the real estate industry. Search for them online and find out what others have to say who have worked with them in the past.
-
Don’t be swayed by negativity! Remember, real estate is a competitive industry. But if you are speaking to someone who is saying negative things about their competition, then they are probably just using that to hide the negative things about themselves.
-
Don’t be afraid to ask questions! We work hard to make sure we answer, or find the answer to, every question you bring to us. It is our job to make sure you are comfortable and armed with all the knowledge you need to make the right and best decision for you.

A good business investor will not try and take advantage of you! Instead, they will provide you appropriate and accurate information on your property and its comparables to validate and explain why they have came to offered price they have made. If you are not being provided this information, you should probably look elsewhere.
This depends on whether you are selling to an investor (such as us,) or hiring us, or another listing agent to sell your home or property. When you sell a home to us directly, we will make you a written cash offer to purchase your home without you having to pay any of the 6% real estate commissions you would otherwise usually have to pay. Other than that, the normal closing costs (including excise tax) ranges around 2% of the sales price.
Special Note: We, as buyer, will usually agree to pay for the sellers side of the closing costs, saving you additional money on those closing costs. And as listing agent, if you choose to list your home or property with us, we have reduced our charges (rather than the standard 3%,) which will save you thousands on the costs of listing your home.
If you decide to sell your home to us, and accept our written cash offer, then there will be no inspection or financing contingencies, and because of this the sale can close within ten business days. (But if you’d prefer to close the sale at a later date, then we are flexible with that as well.)
If you choose to list your home for sale you will most likely endure: Time on the market to find and choose a qualified buyer, then a buyer required inspection period, and then a financing contingency period. (All these processes will have taken your home off the market, during the buyers contingencies, that allow them a last minute out of the deal.)
