Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a few questions? Most people do. So, here’s a quick collection of some of the most frequently asked questions we get – with our answers next to them. If you still have a question don’t hesitate to shoot us an email through our contact page (or give us a call).
Q: Are you actually listing my house on the MLS or buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We buy houses Boise that fit our buying criteria. Despite common belief, no, we don’t only buy houses in distress. We buy houses in ANY condition. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves. We bring cash to the table, so there is no need for financing or traditional lending. This allows us to close when you are ready.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: House buying is our business. Just like any business we are in it to make money. We invest our time and effort analyzing the property along with discussing your needs for a solution as a seller. With those two, we provide the best possible price that we can offer while meeting your needs as a seller. In the end, we have to get a fair discount on a property so we have room to make a profit when we resell it. But, we bring to the table a fast, no hassle, all-cash offer… we can close quickly, are very flexible on terms of the sale, and will buy your house in any condition. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s talk and see if we can come to a fair win-win price.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question and we’re an open book… so I’m glad you asked. Our process is rather simple. We look at the location, what repairs are needed, condition, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We take everything into consideration… and 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: There are NO fees or commissions to work with us. We’ll make you an offer, and if its a fit… we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) to fix it up so it’s nice and pretty… market the house, and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risk 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 it’s payments… and oftentimes with 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 average time to sell can vary depending on many factors, possibly 6-12 months. As you know, you pay a commission as a % of the sales price when you work with a real estate agent. Often times it’s 3-6% of the sales price (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months in many cases to sell and who have room to pay the commission on the sale. You will also have an additional 3-4% cost with escrow fees, closing and miscellaneous costs, potentially costing you up to 10% to sell. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple days (sometimes 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 (which is the hard part in this market). Since we are the buyer, we have much more flexibility than real estate agents. Need time to move after we close, no problem. Need help moving, no problem. Have a bunch of stuff you don’t want to move, no problem. When it comes to closing, we use local, trusted title companies.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: No obligation at all. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, set up a consultation 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. It’s 100% your decision and we’ll let YOU decide what’s right for you. If we aren’t the right fit, that’s okay. We want this to be a win-win.
