We strive to get an offer to you as quickly as possible. But at the same time, we want to make an offer based on your property’s current condition and your situation.

The primary benefits of a cash offer on your house are convenience and simplicity. Transactions are way more complicated when a lender is involved because they often have special requirements that must be met. Not to mention that lenders won’t approve a loan on properties that need significant repairs. A cash offer cuts out all of these requirements and gets you what you need, money in your pocket in the shortest time possible.
The definition of a cash offer is an offer with no financing contingency. Nearly all traditional offers involving a lender include a contingency based on the buyer’s ability to obtain financing. If they can’t qualify, they are allowed to back out of the deal and receive their earnest money back. This happens quite a bit with retail buyers. But that is another thing you don’t have to worry about when working with a cash buyer.

We understand that if we don’t make realistic offers, we’ll never be able to buy houses. Therefore, we do everything we can to give you an offer that works for you. We work hard to control renovation expenses and keep our rehab budget low so that we can pass some of those savings on to you.
Ultimately, we base our offers on the finished value of the property and how much it will cost to renovate it. If you’d like, we can share with you how we calculate your offer. And remember, you have no obligation to accept it! Even if we end up not being your buyer, we will share as much information with you as we can to educate you and help you pick the best path for your situation.

We charge zero fees! When we make an offer on your property, the price you see is the price you will get at closing. Compare that to selling your house on the market. First, agent fees are typically 6% of the sales price. Also, closing costs can be several thousand dollars if the buyer asks you to pay them. Lastly, retail buyers often perform inspections and request a list of repairs which can cost thousands of dollars.
You won’t have to worry about any of these fees when you work with us. We don’t charge agent fees, we pay your closing costs, and we won’t ask you to fix anything. These perks alone can save you tens of thousands of dollars!

Real estate agents specialize in listing properties on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Instead, we will actually be the ones buying your house! When you work with us, you won’t have to worry if someone will make an offer on your house or not because we’ll personally give you one. Also, you won’t have to wonder who is buying your home because we’re your buyers!
Although many people confuse agents and investors because they are both involved with real estate, their roles are quite different. If you are okay with getting your property list ready, accommodating multiple showings, and dealing with the entire traditional sales process in order to find the highest offer out there, listing your house with an agent might be for you. However, if you prefer to skip the hassles and get a fair offer for your home immediately, we can do that for you!
