Frequently Asked Questions

It’s completely normal to have questions, and we’re here to help answer them. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive from our clients, and you’ll find our answers below. However, if you still have a question or would like additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time. We’re always happy to help and provide the information you need.

Q:  Is your business model focused on listing homes for sale on the MLS or buying them directly from homeowners?
A:  Thanks for asking! We are not real estate agents, but rather professional home buyers with a clear focus on purchasing properties in Sacramento that meet our specific criteria. We always have the funds available to close a deal, so you can trust that we are a reliable and efficient option when it comes to selling your home.

Q:  In what ways does your service differ from that of a traditional real estate agent?
A: Typically, real estate agents list properties on the market and wait for potential buyers to express interest. If there is interest, the agent will show the property to those prospective buyers, a process that can take much longer than the cash option in many markets. If the agent successfully finds a buyer, they will take a percentage of the sale price as commission, which can range from 3-6% of the home’s sale price.

As professional home buyers, we eliminate the middleman by purchasing your property directly from you. Our all-cash approach allows us to make quick decisions and close fast. Additionally, we specialize in purchasing homes that need major repairs or renovations, which can often be a barrier to selling a home through traditional methods.

Looking for this to be broken down further? Here’s a comparison chart to give an overview:

Who Pays For Repairs?Negotiated during the inspection periodWe pay for all repairs.
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Q:  How does your company determine a fair price for each property that you purchase?
A:  We often purchase homes at a discount and resell them for a profit. However, we aim to provide fair offers for each property we acquire. If you are looking for a quick and hassle-free way to sell your home, our all-cash approach and quick closing process can offer a convenient alternative to traditional methods. Let’s work together to find a mutually beneficial price for your property. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Q:  Can you explain your pricing process? How does your company determine the offer price for each property you acquire?
A:  We take several factors into consideration, including the property’s location, current condition, necessary repairs, and recent sales of comparable homes in the area. By looking at all of these elements, we’re able to arrive at a fair price that works for everyone involved.

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions associated with choosing to sell our home to your company?
A: What sets us apart from traditional methods of selling your house is that we do not charge any fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. Unlike listing fees, which can amount to up to 6% of the sale price, we offer a hassle-free selling process with no additional costs. Additionally, we often pay for the closing costs associated with the sale. After we buy the house, we make repairs and sell it for a profit, taking on all the associated risks. Once the property is in our hands, you can walk away without any further payments or responsibilities and with cash in your pocket.

Q:  Do I have any obligation to move forward if I submit my information?
A: We want to reassure you that there is no obligation on your part when you submit your property information to us. Once we receive your information, we will review it and may follow up with a call to learn more about your situation. We will then present you with an all-cash offer that is fair for both parties. The decision to sell your house is 100% up to you; we respect your autonomy and want you to make the decision that is right for you.
