Frequently Asked Questions

We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in the Sarasota/Bradenton metro area that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Yes, we do. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner. Many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we offer cash and close very quickly (no waiting for financing). In addition, the seller does NOT need to invest time, effort and expense 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 fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)

Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.

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. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then 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) 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 its payments… and often with cash in your hand!

Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (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 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 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).

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… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.

Yes! We buy houses in all kinds of conditions. Whether your property needs minor updates or major repairs, you don’t have to spend your time or money fixing it up before selling. We’ll evaluate the property as-is and make you a fair cash offer based on its condition and other factors.

We can often make an offer within 24–48 hours after learning about your property. If you accept our offer, we can work with you to choose a closing date that fits your situation. In some cases, we can close in as little as a few days, depending on the circumstances.

No. You don’t have to clean, repair, renovate, or empty the property before selling it to us. We can purchase houses with unwanted furniture, personal belongings, or other items left behind. We’ll discuss the details with you during the process.

In many cases, yes. If you’re behind on payments or concerned about foreclosure, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll review your situation, look at the property, and explain the options available to you. Our goal is to help you find a solution that works for your circumstances.

Inherited properties can sometimes come with repairs, maintenance, taxes, or other responsibilities. If you inherited a house in the Sarasota/Bradenton area and would rather sell it, we may be able to purchase it directly. We can evaluate the property and make a cash offer without requiring you to make repairs or list it with an agent.

Yes, we may be able to purchase a property that currently has tenants. Every situation is different, so we’ll need to understand the current lease, rental situation, and condition of the property. Contact us and we’ll discuss your options and determine whether we can make an offer.

It’s simple. First, you provide us with some basic information about your property. We’ll review the details and may contact you to learn more. We’ll then evaluate the property and, if it fits our buying criteria, make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer. You can accept it, reject it, or take time to consider your options.

Not necessarily. We understand that every seller has different circumstances. We can discuss your preferred timeline and work toward a closing date that gives you enough time to make your next move. The exact arrangements will depend on the property and purchase agreement.

It depends on the amount owed, the property’s value, and your specific situation. If you have a mortgage, liens, or other debts associated with the property, let us know. We can review the details with you and help you understand whether selling the property is a possible solution.

Selling directly can save you the time, hassle, and expense associated with a traditional listing. You don’t have to prepare the house for showings, wait for a buyer’s financing to be approved, or pay traditional agent commissions. We buy houses directly with cash, and there’s no obligation to accept our offer.
