Get Your Cash Offer
If you have questions, we’re here to answer them. We know selling a house is a big deal, so below, we’ve gathered some of the most common questions. If you don’t find an answer below or if you’re want something more specific to your home sale, call us at (504) 920-4747.
How does selling my home to a cash buyer differ from selling to a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents typically list properties and wait for a buyer to come along. They’ll show your home to potential buyers, and they’ll take a commission from the sale, usually between 3% to 6% upon the closing. For example, if your house sells for $100,000, you could end up paying $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions. In contrast, we buy houses directly, which means no waiting around for buyers and no commissions to worry about.
Agents are a good option for those who can wait several months to sell their house and are okay with paying a portion of the sale price in commissions. However, if you need to sell your home quickly, that’s where we can help. We’re not real estate agents; we’re cash home buyers. Our company purchases your house directly, which means we can get you cash for you home in as little as 7 days! We take on the risk by using our own funds to buy your house. Once we do all necessary home repairs, we list the house ourselves. You get your cash before we even start the home repair process.

Do you offer fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the homes we purchase are below market value, which allows us to resell houses at a profit. Our goal is to secure a reasonable discount on the property. From our experience, most home sellers aren’t expecting to make a huge profit; instead, they value the quick and hassle-free house sale process we offer. We provide immediate cash offers, close swiftly without financing, and save you the time, effort, and cost of house repairs or real estate agent fees. If selling your house quickly and easily appeals to you, we will work to find a price for your home that benefits both of us. Plus, our no-obligation cash offer means you’re free to consider it without any pressure to proceed with the home sale.
How do cash home buyers decide on the price they offer for my house?
A: Great question! Our cash home-buying process is transparent and simple. We evaluate several key factors, including the property’s location, any necessary repairs, your home’s current condition, and the amount similar homes in your area sell for. By considering all these details, we arrive at a fair cash offer that works for both you and us.
Are there any fees or commissions when getting a cash offer with you?
A: No! When we buy a house for cash, the amount of cash we offer you is the amount you receive. We buy houses for cash; that means you don’t have to go through a real estate agent. Real estate agents will take up to 6% of your sale price in commissions. We cover all closing costs. Once we buy your house for cash, the responsibility is ours, and you walk away with cash in hand, free from the property and its payments.
Is there any obligation when I submit my home information?
A: There is absolutely no obligation on your part. Once you provide us with some details about your property, we’ll review the information, possibly reach out to learn more, and then present you with a competitive cash offer that’s fair for both sides.
From there, the choice is entirely up to you whether you want to move forward with selling your house to us or not. All the home information you provide us is completely confidential. Once we make you a cash offer, you can decide whether to sell your home or not.
What types of properties do you buy?
A: We buy all types of properties, including single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, and even rental properties. We will buy damaged homes and homes with no issues whatsoever. We can make a cash offer on any home in any condition. We will even buy a property without a house on it. If you own unwanted property, reach out, and we guarantee we can make you an offer.
How quickly can I expect to sell my house after accepting a cash offer?
A: Because we buy homes for cash, we can buy your house fast. We’ve closed in as little as 7 days! We work will work at your pace, so if you need to secure future housing before you sell your house, we will work with your schedule. Cash home buyers are your quickest option to sell your house fast if you want to get cash for your home fast.
Can you still buy my house if I’m behind on mortgage payments?
A: Yes, we can help even if you’re behind on your home’s mortgage payments or facing foreclosure. We want to help you out of any financial burden that might be attached to your home. Selling your home for cash should be a step forward. Don’t miss any more payments. Sell us your home fast, take your cash, and go!
What happens if my house is currently rented?
A: We buy houses with active tenants! We have a lot of experience with purchasing rental properties for cash. If you currently own a rental property with troublesome tenants, look no further. We will work with you to buy the rental property and still keep the renter’s best interests in mind.
How do I know if selling my house to you is the right decision?
A: We encourage you to explore all your options and make the decision that’s best for you.
