Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? That’s okay! Here’s a quick collection that answers some of the questions people often ask us. If your question isn’t answered here, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to answer it for you personally!
Q: Will you be listing my house or actually buying it?
A: Great question! We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are a team of professional home buyers: we make fast cash offers on properties that meet our purchasing criteria. After you give us some information about a property, we meet with you to view your house and answer any questions you have. After that, we can make a cash offer within 7 days, and if you accept that offer, we close with a local attorney as soon as possible. Because we buy houses ourselves instead of listing, you can offload your property in as little as a week!
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We pride ourselves on offering fair cash offers to our customers. Many of the houses we purchase are below market value, so we are looking to get a fair discount on these properties, but it is still in our best interest to provide the highest offer possible. One of the largest benefits of selling to us is that, on top of a cash offer, we buy houses completely as-is, so no time or effort is required on your part to “fix up” the property before selling, and there are no additional expenses required from you, such as realtor commissions or closing costs. If you are looking to avoid making repairs and paying additional fees when you sell your house, it is our priority to find a win-win cash offer, no matter what condition your property is in. On top of this, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give . . . but it’s still good to know what we’re offering!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We think it is very important for our customers to know exactly how we can ensure a fair cash offer, so we are an open book with this question. Our process is very straightforward: we look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed to bring the property to it’s full value, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We combine this information into a concrete formula that provides a fair offer that works for both parties. You can find more in-depth information about our cash-offer formula here.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions when selling to you?
A: This is what separates us from the traditional house-selling process: there are no fees or commissions when you sell your house to us! We make an offer, and if it’s a fit, then we buy your house on whatever schedule works best for you. No commissions, no closing costs, and no hassle! This business model leaves our team with a house to flip and you with cash in your hand.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties to sell to other homeowners, whereas we buy houses ourselves in cash. Agents show homes to prospective buyers until the right offer comes and the sale closes, and they then take a percentage of your property’s sale price. Oftentimes in Georgia, your agent’s commission is 2-3% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $2,000 – $3,000 in commissions to an agent). In the current market, the average time it takes for an agent to sell a property is 6-12 months. Agents provide a great service for homeowners that can wait this amount of time to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of the sale price to pay the commission. But this is where We Buy Houses in West Georgia is different: we’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Because you approach us directly, you can bypass the need to commission an agent and wait for an offer from a traditional buyer.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you after you request our cash offer. Once you tell us about the property you are looking to sell, we’ll look over the information, arrange a call or meeting with you to learn more about the house, and then we’ll make an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and us. From there, it’s completely up to you to decide if you want to sell your house to us. We won’t hassle or harass you. We understand that you are the best person to decide what option works for your own situation!
