Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.

Q:  Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A:  Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers and we purchase properties quickly and for cash. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q:  Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A:  Many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. 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:  How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A:  Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.

Q:  How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.

Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6 to 12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.

Q:  Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you. WEBUYHOUSESCOUNTYWIDE.com

Q:  How quickly can I sell my house?
A: You can sell your house in as little as 7-14 days. Once you submit your information, we will evaluate your property and make an offer. If you accept the offer, we can close the deal within a week or two, depending on your timeline. Our team works to make the process as fast and stress-free as possible. If you need more time, we can accommodate your needs.

Q:  What types of houses do you buy?
A: We purchase all types of properties, including single-family homes, multi-family homes, condos, townhomes, vacant land, and even properties in need of major repairs. Whether your home is outdated, damaged, or requires substantial renovation, we can still make you an offer. We also purchase houses in various conditions, from well-maintained homes to those requiring substantial work.

Q:  Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?
A: No, there is no need to make repairs. We buy houses “as-is,” meaning we will purchase your home in its current condition, regardless of its state. You don’t need to spend time or money fixing anything before selling to us. Whether the house needs minor cosmetic fixes or major structural repairs, we’ll make a fair offer and handle the rest.

Q:  Will I receive an offer for my house immediately after submitting my information?
A: We typically provide an offer within 24-48 hours of receiving your property details. Once we have your information, we will evaluate the market value, property condition, and location. If everything is in order, we’ll make you a cash offer. In some cases, we may need to schedule an in-person assessment to finalize the offer.

Q:  How is the offer amount determined?
A: Our offer is based on several factors, including the current market value of your home, its condition, the area’s real estate trends, and any repairs or renovations that may be needed. We look at comparable properties in your area to determine a fair price for your house. Our goal is to give you an offer that reflects the true value of your property, minus the hassle and costs of traditional real estate sales.

Q:  Can I sell my house if it’s in foreclosure or if I owe more than it’s worth?
A: Yes, we can help you sell your house even if it’s in foreclosure or if you owe more than it’s worth. In these situations, we may work with your lender to negotiate a short sale or help you find a way to avoid foreclosure. We understand the challenges of financial hardship and are here to provide solutions. We’ll make a fair cash offer and can help guide you through the process, no matter what your situation is.

Q:  What happens after I accept your offer?
A: Once you accept our offer, we’ll schedule a closing date that works for you. We’ll work with you to handle all the necessary paperwork, title transfer, and legal requirements. Our team will take care of the title work, so you don’t need to worry about anything. On the closing date, you’ll sign the final documents, and we’ll release the cash payment to you. The process is streamlined, and you’ll walk away with the funds in your hands.

Q:  How long does the process take from offer to closing?
A: The entire process typically takes between 7 to 14 days, depending on your needs and any additional steps required for your particular sale. After you accept the offer, we work with you to schedule a closing date and ensure that all paperwork is ready. We can close as quickly as possible, but we also respect your timeline if you need more time to make arrangements.

Q:  Are there any hidden costs or charges?
A: No, there are no hidden costs or charges when selling to us. We pay all closing costs, and you won’t have to pay any agent commissions or fees. The offer we make is the amount you will receive at closing. We pride ourselves on transparency and honesty, so there will be no surprises or unexpected fees in the process.

Q:  Can I sell my house if it’s rented or has tenants?
A: Yes, we can buy your house even if it is rented or has tenants. We are experienced in handling properties with tenants, and we’ll work with them and you to make the process smooth. If you have tenants in place, we can negotiate a solution that benefits both parties, whether that involves having the tenants stay or vacate the property before closing.

Q:  Do you buy houses with liens or other legal issues?
A: Yes, we buy houses with liens, judgments, or other legal issues. If your property has a lien, tax debt, or any other legal complications, we can still work with you.

Q:  Can I sell my house even if it’s not currently listed or being marketed?

We specialize in buying off-market homes and can make an offer based on the details you provide, with no need for public marketing or listing your home.
