How do you work out your offer?
We look at what houses like yours have sold for nearby in the last few months. Then we take out what it will cost to fix yours up, and what we need to make when we resell it. What is left is your offer. We work it out by hand after walking the house, and if you want to see how we got there, we will show you the sales we used.
Do I pay any closing costs or fees?
No. No fees, no commissions, no repairs, and we pay all the closing costs. The number we offer is the number you get, minus anything already owed against the house.
How fast can you close?
Usually 10 to 14 days after you accept our offer. If you need more time to move, we close on your timeline instead.
Can the price change after the walkthrough?
No. We walk the house before we make the offer, so the price we offer is the price at closing. Our earnest money backs that up. If we ever fail to close on the terms in our contract, you keep the deposit. That has never happened.
Do I need to fix or clean anything?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition. No repairs, no cleaning and no staging before the walkthrough.
What happens after I accept?
We sign a purchase agreement and send earnest money, either straight to you or into escrow with our attorney. Our local title company starts the title search. Closing happens at our attorney's office or online with a remote notary, and your money is wired to you or handed over as a check, whichever you prefer.
What if the title search turns up a problem?
A lien, an old mortgage that was never released or an heir who still has to sign surfaces early, not the week of closing. We tell you plainly what it takes to clear it and handle the back and forth with the title company.
Are you real estate agents?
No. We buy the house ourselves, with our own money, so there is no listing, no showings and no commission. If listing would get you more, we will tell you.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
No. The offer is free and there is no obligation. If the number doesn't work for you, you say no and that is the end of it.
Will you sell my contract to another investor?
No. We are the buyer. We buy every house ourselves and never sell your contract on to someone else, so the people who walk your house are the people who close on it.
Can I leave things behind?
Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest, furniture included. We handle the clean-out after closing, at no cost to you.
Can I stay a little after closing, or get help moving?
Often, yes. If you need a few extra days in the house after closing, or help with moving costs, ask us on the walkthrough and we will work it out with you.
Can I take some time to decide?
Of course. Take your time, and have your attorney or family read the contract before you sign. We never push. The offer stays the same while you think it over.
Can I text you instead of calling?
Yes. Text (757) 337-2236 any time with your address and a good time to talk, and Joey or Chris will text you back.
