HOUSE BUYER

Frequently Asked Questions about Selling Your House to Housebuyer™

We understand that selling your house could be a difficult and long process, especially if you are in behind in your payments or have a house in need of repair. For more than 20 years we have simplified with our Rapid House Purchase Program. Our proven program eliminates the fat and wasted time and money typically associated with selling a house.

By eliminating the middleman your selling process is less costly because you have no commissions or hidden fees.

By eliminating the retail house buyers your selling process is easier because we do not rely on approval of a bank for our funding.

By eliminating the tire-kicking house shoppers you don’t need to fix up or dress-up your house. And you won’t need to maintain the house in perfect condition for showings or appraisals. So you save time and money.

And by writing the offer to purchase tailored to fit your specific situation you can clearly see how we can close according to your time-frame; in as little as five business days if needed.

I would be happy to explain other options that may be available to you by calling or filling out our fast and free confidential seller questionnaire.

BEWARE OF IMITATORS

At the risk of sounding overly dramatic I would like to mention this: Beware of imitators, scams artists and illegitimate or ‘newly minted’ companies who advertise “We Buy Houses”. Always research any house buyer you chose to work with and be sure to contact only verified and proven Housebuyer™ to ensure you are working with an official, local, house buying expert you can trust.

We’ve compiled a list of answers from our most frequently asked questions. I hope this page helps you find the answers you’re looking for. If you don’t see the answer to your questions give me a call. We are happy to help and provide a free valuation followed by full details of how to sell your house within days and for cash.

The number one question, by far, over the years we’ve been doing this is:

How does your program work?

Because we are the direct investor/buyer there is no middleman. After you call or complete the seller form we pay a short visit to your house and discuss your needs. We give you a reasonable offer for the house. You decide whether that offer works for you. We schedule a closing at a certified closing agent as quickly as YOU need. We handle all the details. You show up and collect your cash.

How do I get you to make me an offer?

Fill out the house seller form thoroughly and accurately and we will contact you within 24 hours.

Are there any fees or costs associated with selling my house?

No! We buy houses and will make you an offer without real estate agent fees or commissions.

I need to sell my house fast. How long might it take for me to get an offer to sell my house?

Every situation is unique, but it’s not uncommon to get a cash offer in as little as 24-48 hours.

What if my house needs repairs?

We buy houses as-is, there are no need to make repairs.

How long does it take to close?

It depends on your situation, but typically we can close within 7 to 14 days.

I'm behind in my loan and in foreclosure. Are you still interested?

Yes, as long as the foreclosure has not been completed, meaning the bank owns it, we can still make an offer to buy the house. We regularly purchase houses that are behind in payments, facing foreclosure, or underwater.

We advise you call or fill out the seller form immediately. Once we understand your situation we can discuss the best method to help your unique case. We have qualified investors who deal specifically with repossession cases, who can hold off the repossession, giving you the time to sell your house for the best possible price.

If you buy my house before the bank forecloses, can I save my credit?

Selling your house before final foreclosure will prevent a “foreclosure” from appearing on your credit report and generally is better for your credit.

Can you buy my house if it's vacant?

Yes, the house can be in any condition and it does not matter if you occupy it, have a renter in the house, or if it is vacant.

Can you buy my house if I have a bad tenant in there now?

Yes. We routinely help landlords sell rental properties and are experienced in dealing with bad or problem tenants.

My house is presently listed for sale with a real estate agent. Can you still buy my house?

Yes we can still purchase your house. Typically agents will keep house owners locked into a 12 week contract. You’ll need your agent’s permission to let you out of the listing early or negotiate to pay all or some of their commission.

So we can work around this and complete your sale after your current contract expires. Our house buying team is more than happy to assist with all aspects of your property sale, to ensure you’re looked after and provided the best service.

How Do I Know I Can Trust You?

For over 11 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.

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 house 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.
