Have a few questions?  Most people do.  So, here’s a quick collection of some of the common questions we get… with our answers next to them. If you still have a question don’t hesitate to shoot us an email through our contact page (or give us a call).

Q:  Are you actually listing my house on the MLS or buying it?

A:  Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses.  We buy houses in Massachusetts that fit our buying criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q:  How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

A:  Great question and we’re an open book… so I’m glad you asked.  Our process is rather simple. We look at the location, what repairs are needed, condition, 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.  So, we take everything into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

A:  There are NO fees or commissions to work with us.  We’ll make you an offer, and if its a fit… 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) to fix it up so it’s nice and pretty… market the house, 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 oftentimes with cash in your hand).

Q:  How are you different from a real estate agent?

A:  Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months.  As you know, you pay a commission as a % of the sales price when you work with a real estate agent. Often times it’s 3-6% of the sales price (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 in many cases to sell and who have room to pay the commission on the sale.  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).

Q:  Is there any obligation when I submit my info?

A:  No obligation at all. 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 thats 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 decide what’s right for you.

Q: How does the process of selling my house for cash work?

A: Selling your house for cash is designed to be simple and stress-free. You start by contacting us and sharing basic information about your property. We then evaluate the home and provide a fair, no-obligation cash offer. If you decide to accept, we handle the paperwork and work with you to choose a closing date that fits your schedule, making the entire process fast and convenient.

Q: Do I need to make repairs before selling my house?

A: No, you do not need to make any repairs before selling your home. We purchase houses in their current condition, regardless of age, damage, or needed updates. This means you can avoid the time, expense, and hassle of fixing problems before selling. Whether your property needs minor cosmetic work or major renovations, we are still interested in making an offer.

Q: How quickly can I receive a cash offer?

A: In many cases, homeowners receive a cash offer within 24 hours after submitting their property information. The exact timeline may vary depending on the property’s condition, location, and specific circumstances. Our goal is to provide a prompt response so you can make an informed decision without waiting weeks or months for traditional buyers to show interest.

Q: Are there any commissions, fees, or hidden costs?

A: No. One of the biggest advantages of selling directly to us is that there are no real estate commissions, agent fees, or hidden charges. Traditional home sales often involve various costs that reduce your final proceeds. We strive to keep the process transparent, allowing homeowners to know exactly what they will receive from the sale without unexpected deductions.

Q: How fast can the closing process be completed?

A: The closing process can often be completed in as little as seven days, depending on your situation and title requirements. However, we understand that every homeowner has different needs. If you need additional time to move or coordinate your plans, we can work with a flexible closing schedule that is convenient for you and your family.

Q: What types of properties do you buy?

A: We purchase a wide range of residential properties, including single-family homes, inherited properties, rental properties, vacant houses, distressed homes, and properties requiring significant repairs. Whether your home is in excellent condition or has serious structural issues, we are willing to evaluate it and provide a fair cash offer based on its current condition and market factors.

Q: Will I have to pay closing costs?

A: No. We typically cover the standard closing costs associated with the transaction. This helps homeowners save money and avoid additional expenses that are common in traditional real estate transactions. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible so you can focus on your next steps without worrying about unexpected fees.

Q: Can you help if I am facing foreclosure?

A: Yes. If you are facing foreclosure, contacting us as early as possible can provide additional options. We understand the challenges homeowners experience during financial hardship and work quickly to explore solutions. Selling your home for cash may help you avoid the lengthy foreclosure process and move forward with greater financial stability and peace of mind.

Q: Do you buy inherited properties?

A: Absolutely. We frequently work with individuals who have inherited homes and may not want the responsibility of maintaining, repairing, or managing the property. Whether the home is occupied, vacant, or requires extensive updates, we can provide a straightforward solution. Our process is designed to simplify the sale and reduce stress during what can often be a challenging time.

Q: What if my property currently has tenants?

A: We understand that selling a rental property can be complicated, especially when tenants are involved. We can often purchase properties with tenants in place, saving you the effort of managing lease issues or coordinating vacancies. Every situation is unique, so we encourage homeowners to contact us and discuss their specific circumstances for the best possible solution.

Q: Is there any obligation to accept your offer?

A: No. Requesting an offer is completely free and comes with no obligation whatsoever. Our goal is simply to provide homeowners with information and options. After receiving an offer, you can take your time reviewing it, comparing alternatives, and deciding what works best for your situation. There is never any pressure to move forward with the sale.

Q: How do you determine the value of my cash offer?

A: Our cash offers are based on several important factors, including the property’s condition, location, size, market trends, repair needs, and recent comparable sales in the area. We take a comprehensive approach to ensure our offer is fair and competitive. Every property is unique, which is why we evaluate each home individually before presenting an offer.

Q: Do I need to clean out the property before selling?

A: Not necessarily. We understand that homeowners may not have the time or resources to completely clean out a property before selling. You can take the belongings you wish to keep and leave behind unwanted items. This can be especially helpful for inherited homes, rental properties, or situations where a quick and convenient sale is needed.

Q: What are the benefits of selling directly instead of listing with an agent?

A: Selling directly can save time, reduce stress, and eliminate many common obstacles associated with traditional home sales. There are no showings, open houses, financing delays, or agent commissions. Additionally, you can avoid making costly repairs and enjoy a faster closing process. For homeowners seeking convenience and certainty, selling directly can be an attractive alternative.

Q: Do you buy houses in any condition?

A: Yes. We buy houses in virtually any condition, including homes with structural issues, outdated interiors, water damage, code violations, or deferred maintenance. We also purchase vacant properties, inherited homes, and houses facing foreclosure. Our goal is to provide homeowners with a practical selling option regardless of the property’s current state or circumstances.
