Questions sellers ask before they call

Fourteen to thirty days is typical, though we can move a little faster if you really need it. If you need more time — a month, three months, until the end of the school year — we work to your date, not ours.

No. We buy as-is, which means exactly that. Leave what you don’t want: old furniture, clothes, tools, junk. You don’t need to paint, patch, mow, or fix a single thing.

Nothing. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs on your side. The number we offer is the number you receive at closing (minus any mortgage payoff or liens on the property, which we handle in the paperwork).

No. The written offer is free, no-obligation, and typically valid for seven days. You can take it, leave it, or use it as a benchmark against other options.

We look at recent comparable sales, the property’s condition, repair costs, holding and closing costs, and current market demand in your area. We will walk you through the math if you want to see it.

Probate, divorce, tenants, liens, back taxes, code violations, fire or water damage, a house full of belongings — we deal with these every week. If we can’t help, we’ll tell you honestly and point you toward someone who can.

Yes. We buy rented properties with tenants in place and take over the landlord’s position, including any existing leases. If the tenancy is part of the problem — non-payment, damage, an expired agreement — we deal with it after closing using the legal process in your state. You don’t have to evict anyone first.

Often, yes — but timing matters, and we won’t pretend otherwise. If there is enough equity, a cash sale can pay the arrears and stop the process before the auction date. Bring us the notice you received and the payoff figure and we will tell you honestly whether a sale is realistic. You should also speak to a HUD-approved housing counsellor or an attorney, which is free or low-cost in most states.

We buy properties in probate regularly. In most states the estate can sign a purchase contract before probate closes, with the sale subject to court approval, or we can wait until the estate is settled. If you are the executor or personal representative working with an attorney, send us their details and we will coordinate directly.

Yes — manufactured homes on owned land are welcome. If the home sits on a rented lot, the park rules and the title status matter, so ask us and we’ll check before making an offer. We also buy vacant land, land with a derelict structure, and small rural parcels.

Yes. Damage is a pricing question, not a disqualification. We buy fire and smoke damage, water and flood damage, mold, roof failures, foundation problems and houses that have sat empty through several winters. Nobody visits or inspects the property before you have an offer in hand, unless you invite us.

These come out of the proceeds at closing and are handled by the title company. Municipal citations, unpaid property tax, HOA balances, mechanic’s liens, judgement liens and utility balances are common — just tell us what you know. We would rather see the paperwork early than discover it the week of closing.

No. No fee to make an offer, no commission, no listing fee, no closing costs on your side, no charge if you change your mind. We make our money on the difference between what we pay and what the property is worth once repaired and resold.

Yes. We do not sell, rent or share your details, and we do not put a sign in your yard or publish that the property is for sale. Nobody visits the house unless you ask us to. Our full policy is in the privacy section of this site.

No. The offer is free and carries no obligation and is normally valid for seven days. You can say no, negotiate, compare it to an agent’s opinion, or come back to us in six months.

Everyone who holds title has to sign, or someone needs legal authority to sign on their behalf. If an owner has died, is incapacitated, or is unreachable, the estate or a power of attorney can usually handle it. Tell us the situation and we will tell you what the title company will need.
