House Seller’s Common Questions
about the Housebuyer™ Program
The number one question, by far, over the years we’ve been doing this is:
How does your program work?
After you complete the simple form we will quickly contact you to ask a few simple questions and if possible set up a time to view the property. Once we’re able to see the property, we will get back with you within 24-48 hours with a cash offer. In some cases we will get you an offer on site. If the property is tenant occupied or otherwise “unavailable” for interior inspection, we will still get you an offer “subject to interior inspection prior to closing” so you can make an informed decision.
You are under no obligation, but if you decide to sell to Housebuyer™ we can set a closing date within 7 days or less, depending upon your individual situation. We can also coordinate closings farther out.
You can choose to show up and collect your cash or we can have a closer come to you (this works good for out-of-town sellers)
How are you different from real estate agents?
Real estate agents “list” properties. They charge you a commission to sell your property. There are no guarantees if, when and how much your property will sell for. The average property takes months to sell. Some properties take over a year, and some just don’t sell or the listings expire without getting any offers. This uncertainty causes great stress and anxiety. Usually not until the day your property sells and you get your check, do you even know exactly how much you’re going to receive. We are a professional residential real estate buyer.
We do not “list” properties, we buy them. We do not charge any fees or commissions. Often within 24 to 48 hours we can make you a fast cash offer, and usually within seven days or sooner you can have your money! We can relieve your stress, and we want you to have a hassle-free, pain-free sale, that benefits you! (260) 436-5000 extension 221 or fill out our simple, secure online form.
Do you pay market or retail value?
Please do not confuse what a real estate agent tells you or what some valuation websites tell you the value of your property is, with how much money you will actually put in your pocket if and when the property sells. First of all, it is quite common for a home or property to sell for 5 to 10 percent less than what the real estate agent lists it for.
Secondly, when using real estate agents, it not uncommon that you as the seller, will probably be required to do a number of repairs to satisfy the buyer. These repairs could cost thousands of dollars.
Third, do not forget your holding costs. (Your loan payments and the cost of your money tied up in the property, which could be making you money, somewhere else.) Finally there are commissions to the agent, which can be 6 percent, and your closing costs, which can be as much as 3-4 percent.
We are in business to make a profit, however our number one goal is to create a win-win offer that benefits YOU the seller. If we cannot do that, we will make every attempt to point you in the right direction of the best way to sell the property after we hear your unique situation. Even if we feel our option is “right now” not your best solution, we will still submit a back-up offer for you.
What is your bottom line?
A real estate agent could tell you your house or property is worth a certain amount of money. By the time your agent sells it, you have to figure in your holding costs, repair costs, the realtor’s commissions, selling costs etc., which knocks cuts down your proceeds by tens of thousands of dollars!
I am dedicated to making you a fast cash offer that will be “win, win” for both of you. We are committed to providing you the fastest, possible, stress-free sale. Swift Results has the flexibility to offer you a number of personalized purchasing programs. We use several formulas based on your needs to determine how much we can pay for a home or property. All allow you to benefit from the fastest possible sale and to sell your property without doing any work or repairs.
How much we can pay for your home or property will be based on many factors. These include the condition and repairs needed, the time factor, whether you need to be cashed out, or if a creative solution can be achieved. Call me at (260) 436-5000 extension 221 or fill out the simple seller form.
Do we have to pay for repairs before you will buy our house?
No, we buy homes “as is” and will make all necessary repairs if your house qualifies.
Do you only buy houses?
No, we also buy apartment buildings, commercial buildings, condos, town homes and land.
How long might it take to close once I have signed an agreement with you?
The closing date depends upon your unique situation, but in most cases we can close in seven days or less. In some cases of extreme urgency we’ve been able to get a transaction closed in as little as 24 hours, but it really depends on the exact situation. We’ve also been able to close transactions months and months away to help sellers meet a complicated move over-seas.
Does it matter if I have a Realtor?
It does not matter if your home is listed with a real estate agent. We can make you an offer even if your home is listed.
I owe more than my house is worth. Can you help me?
Yes, many times banks and mortgage companies will accept less than what is owed on your mortgage. Just complete the simple, secure online form and I will contact you to discuss the options available to you.
How long will it take to get an offer on my home?
In most cases, you will receive an offer within 24-48 hours.
Is there any risk, obligation or charge?
You have no obligation or risk with Housebuyer™. We will, at no charge, fee, or commission, present you with a Win-Win offer that benefits you. Call (260) 436-5000 extension 221 or complete our online form. We can help!

Are you interested in listing my house?
Absolutely not! We do not want to list your house, we want to buy it. And we can close as quickly as you would like.
What kind of houses do you buy?
Great question. We buy and sell houses in any area, condition or price range. In other words, we will work with your house as-is! You don’t need to do any more repairs or spend any more money!
Do you deal in higher priced properties?
Yes, we can work with any homeowner who needs to solve their real estate problem quickly for any reason and in any price range. So long as there’s a profit reason for us to get involved – we will.
By “any condition” do you deal with condemned houses?
Yes we do. When we say we buy your house as-is we mean it. It is not just lip service- we have the experience to follow through on it. We will take care of all repairs. No contingencies or fine print either. We buy condemned houses all the time and it takes all the burdens of repairs, court and code enforcement off your shoulders.
Do you deal in higher priced properties?
Absolutely. We can work with any seller who needs to move a property quickly for any reason and in any price range. From Lake James to Lake Ave. -we buy them all.
What if I am behind on my payments or in foreclosure, can you help?
Yes, if you contact us now, we may be able to help catch up your back payments and stop the foreclosure process. The foreclosure clock starts sooner than most think. And then the additional charges and attorney fees usually put the cost of digging out of the hole too high. If you have been sent a letter of default or the bank has called you the sooner you contact us the sooner we can get started. Contact us here
Can you really help me?

How can I buy a new home if my loan stays in my name on my old house?
If you keep your house and rented it out your banker or mortgage broker will credit the rent to your income. But only 75%.
Why? Because bankers know that a landlord will get his rent only 3/4 of the time. With our agreement the banks will credit 100% of your monthly mortgage payment as paid per contract. This effectively ‘washes out’ your old loan payment allowing you to qualify for a new loan as if the old one didn’t exist.
I Want Cash! Will you pay me cash for my house?
Yes, we can and do pay all cash for houses. An example of when we must use cash would be to stop a house from going into foreclosure.
How Do I Know I Can Trust You?
For over 21 years we have been getting that question. I can understand your concern so Find out who we are. And, look at our history on the Better Business Bureau. If your then comfortable we’ll meet face-to-face after you call. You’ll find I don’t make empty promises. I shoot straight and tell you like it is. See why you can trust us here
From past experience I believe I can create a solution that will work for both of us. If not, or if you’re not comfortable after we meet, we’ll shake hands and go our separate ways. In fact, I wouldn’t enter into an agreement with anyone if I wasn’t comfortable with that person, and I wouldn’t expect you to either.
I encourage you to read our success stories from past clients who were in situations where they needed to sell their house, and they were very happy with the solutions we were able to give them.
Are you Realtors who just want to list my house?
While we do have a licensed Realtor on staff, we understand that simply listing your house is often not the best or quickest solution for your real estate problem. We do not employ a single solution for all real estate situations, we design custom solutions according to your particular needs. In some situations a mortgage workout makes the most sense, in other situations listing your house with a Realtor makes the most sense, and in other situations selling your home on a lease-option makes the most sense.

Why Don’t I Just List It With A Realtor?
That’s certainly an option for some folks. But obviously a Realtor won’t make your payments for you while they’re attempting to sell your house. Average listings in Allen County sit on the market 95 days.
How would an offer tomorrow sound? I can guarantee you an offer on your house in writing, in 24 hours! We can close in days! With a Realtor commission of 7% and closing costs of 3% – your 10% down already (not counting that full price offers are non-existent). Some folks even need to bring money to closing!
I’m willing to make your payments, lease or buy your house, and maintain it all the while. I’ll give it my personal attention, and you can forget about it and get on with your life. NO MORE OPEN HOUSES.
I don’t have enough equity to sell with a real estate agent, Can You help?
Yes. In fact this is a very common situation because for the first several years of a mortgage the bulk of all your payments goes towards interest. In these situations we still help you, the seller, by quickly getting your house payments off your back and making sure the house is not a problem.
What if you die?
Hey, This is a legitimate question! And the answer is as common as every other business you deal with. Just because one person in a company dies – the company does not. The company and your agreement with the company survives intact.
What kind of assurances do I have that you will perform as you say?
