A: Excellent question, I say. We don't list houses and we're not agents. We are experienced property buyers, and we acquire West Hartford residences that fit our standards. From there, we can either maintain the property as a rental ourselves or repair it and sell it to another homeowner.

A: A large number of the homes we buy are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). On a property, we're trying to negotiate a reasonable discount. But, in our experience, many sellers are more appreciative of the fact that we can give cash, we close quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is necessary on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. Instead of expecting a significant "windfall" on the property. If that's what you want and you understand the value of having your house sold quickly, let's try to negotiate a fair price that benefits both parties. (In addition, our dedication to no-obligation pricing implies that you are under no obligation to accept our offer. but it's helpful to understand what we're providing!)

A: Good question, and we're completely transparent: Our procedure is pretty simple. We consider the property's location, the necessary maintenance, its existing state, and the prices of recently closed comparable home sales in the neighborhood. As you are aware, home values have fallen precipitously over the past five years, and most regions have yet to see a rise in prices. Several pieces of information are taken into account by us... and determine a reasonable pricing that benefits both us and you.

A: There are NO costs or commissions when you sell your house to us, which is what sets us apart from the conventional manner of selling your home. If you accept our offer, we'll buy your house and, frequently, we'll also cover the closing costs. No fuss. No costs. Once we acquire the house from you, the obligation is ours, and you walk away without the weight of the property and its payments—and frequently with cash in your palm. This is how we make our money: after paying for the house's repairs (if necessary), we sell it for a profit.

A: Realtors list homes in the hopes that someone will purchase them. If there are any potential buyers, the agent takes a cut of the sale price and presents the homes to them (the typical period to sell a home in many markets right now is 6 to 12 months). Typically, the agent's compensation is 3-6% of the home's sale price, meaning that if the home costs $100,000, you'll pay the agent between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions. For individuals who can wait 6–12 months to sell and are willing to give up some of the sale price to cover the commissions, agents offer a valuable service. We are distinct from realtors, though, as we are home buyers instead. Our business actually purchases homes. No homes are listed by us. We can decide to purchase your home within a few days because we are the ones who will actually be paying you cash for the property (sometimes the same day). Once more, we earn a living by taking the risk to purchase the home with our own money, restore it, and then ourselves market it to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).

A: You have absolutely no obligation whatsoever. Once you've given us some information about your property, we'll look at it, possibly schedule a conversation with you to learn more, and then make you an all-cash offer that's reasonable for both of us. Following that, the choice to sell your home to us is entirely up to you. And we won't bother or bother you... 100% up to you, and we'll let you choose what's best for you.
