Double Arrow bullet point Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

An excellent question. We do not serve as traditional-style real estate agents. We aren’t in the business of listing houses. We are truly professional home buyers right here in your local area.  We purchase properties fast for cash. So if you want to do yourself a favor and sell an unwanted house fast for a nice big check, contact our team!

Double Arrow bullet point How are you different from a real estate agent?

A real estate agent’s job is to list your house on the marketplace and hope that a good buyer comes along. This can take some serious time and effort! The house will need to be prepared for listing and in tip-top shape. After that comes the fun of going through open houses and viewings. Once your agent finds you a buyer, you’ll need to pay them. They work hard for their money. They earn about 3-6% of your selling price for their commission. This ends up being thousands of dollars. While you can sell your house for a better price by listing it, you’ll have to pay for it too!

This is a great way to sell your house if you can afford to wait months for results. You will also need to sacrifice some of that nice payout on commission. This is where the methods diverge. We aren’t real estate agents that would like to list your house. No, we want to buy your house directly from you, for cash! We can make the choice to buy in mere days. We will fix your house up after you sell it to us, and you can walk away with cash in your hands.
