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 Buying It Directly?
A: We are cash home buyers, not real estate agents. This means we do not list houses on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Instead, we buy houses directly from homeowners in FL for cash. We do not rely on bank financing, so you never have to worry about delays in closing.
After we purchase your home, we may make repairs and resell it, or we may keep it as a rental property. Either way, our goal is to make the selling process as simple and beneficial as possible for you.
Q: How Are You Different from a Real Estate Agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties on the MLS and hope a buyer comes along. The process can take months, and once your house sells, you’ll have to pay a commission—typically 3% to 6% of the sale price.When you work with us, there are no commissions, no repairs, and no waiting. We buy your house fast for cash and close in as little as 7 days. Unlike agents who must find buyers, we are the buyers—eliminating delays and uncertainty.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 4+ 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: Do You Pay Fair Prices for Homes?
A: Yes! We make competitive cash offers based on:
- Location
- Condition of the property
- Repairs needed
- Recent sales of comparable homes
Since we buy houses as-is, many homeowners appreciate that they don’t have to make repairs or pay agent fees. We provide a no-obligation offer, so you can see what we’re willing to pay before making any decisions.
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 Your Offer Price?
A: We base our offers on market data and your property’s condition. Here’s how we calculate it:
- We analyze recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood.
- We consider any repairs or renovations needed.
- We factor in the costs of reselling the home.
This ensures we make a fair and competitive offer that benefits both parties.
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 When I Sell My House for Cash?
A: No! Unlike traditional sales that come with agent commissions, closing costs, and repair expenses, selling to us means:
- No commissions
- No closing costs (we usually cover them!)
- No repairs needed
- No hidden fees
The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing—no deductions or surprises.
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 compared to listing fees, where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. 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 Fast Can I Sell My House for Cash?
A: We can typically close in as little as 7 days. Unlike traditional buyers who rely on mortgage approvals, we use our own cash, allowing for a quick and guaranteed sale. If you need extra time, we can schedule the closing on a date that works best for you.
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.
Q: Can I Sell My House As-Is?
A: Yes! We buy houses in any condition. Whether your home needs minor touch-ups or major repairs, we will still make you a cash offer. You don’t have to worry about fixing anything before selling.
