Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers and then takes 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 are not trying to find a buyer for your house…we ARE the buyer! Since we are the one paying, 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, which means you don’t have to pay any realtor commissions.

This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO realtor fees or realtor commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house. No hassle. No realtor fees. The responsibility is all on us for the sale, and you walk away without the burden of the property and payments… and often with cash in your hand.

Great question! We are very up front about our process. 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 some 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.

Many of the houses we purchase are below market value based upon the neighborhood or current condition of the property. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or 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 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. We are not real estate agents, and we don’t list houses on the MLS. We are professional home buyers: we will actually buy your house in Philadelphia. No listing, no commissions, no waiting...and no hassle!
