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 … 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.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents. We buy houses [in Austin and Surrounding Areas] that fit our buying criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We have to purchase a house below market value so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. However, if you are in foreclosure, you likely don’t have a lot of equity, so there may be options to be able to negotiate with the lender on the property. In the end, we have to get a fair discount on a property so we have room to make a profit when we resell it. But, we bring to the table a fast, no hassle, all cash offer. We can close quickly, are very flexible on terms of the sale, and will buy your house in any condition. If that is what you are looking for and see the value in getting your house sold fast, lets talk and see if we can come to a fair win-win price.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question! 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. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and try to come up with a couple different ways or options (sometimes very creative) that we could purchase your house. We try and make the options and price fair, where it would be a win-win for both of us.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
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 to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house AND PAY THE CLOSING COSTS. No hassle. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking the risks 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 its payments… and often with cash in your hand).
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents help list properties, help homeowners with their property search, and buying of the property. The agents will take a percentage of the sale price of the property. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, often you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to the agents). Agents provide a GREAT service for those that may have time to wait for a buyer, are OK with possibly having to remove or rearrange furniture to make for a “better showing”, are OK with agents bringing prospective buyers to view the property, possibly having to fix needed repairs, 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 are 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 of days (sometimes the same day). We do need to be able to see your house in person, but there is no rearranging furniture, cleaning, or fixing anything that is broken. Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with cash, repair the house, and/or market it ourselves to find a buyer.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and find a time that WORKS FOR YOU for us to come look at your house. From our phone conversation, we may determine that bringing our contractor with us, may help to save time in determining repair costs. We will discuss all of this prior to meeting you at your house. 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.
