1. Who are you?
My name is Henry and I am the owner of We Buy Houses In Florida, however, there is no way I am able to do all of this alone. Our team consists of reputable escrow/title companies, closing attorneys, partners, and even a real estate agent (for when we aren’t your best option).
Our “About Us” page will give you a very detailed explanation about who we are and what we do. We are diligent, fun, and honest people who are dedicated to helping homeowners reach their home sale goals.
2. What do you do?
We Pay Cash For Houses In Florida, in any condition or location. That’s basically the gist of it. We’re the ideal alternative if you want to sell your house without having to deal with agents or the traditional listing process. Even if time is not an issue, but you would like to sell your house without having to deal with the endless showings, we are the perfect option.
3. Is a Cash Home Buying company right for me?
Most of the sellers we’ve worked with in Florida were not in a rush to sell. The majority of them just wanted to sell their home without having to go through the hassle of listing with an agent, or they don’t want to deal with repairs, cleaning, open houses, and other inconveniences that come with selling the traditional way.
Since we buy houses in as-is condition, no matter your circumstance or location, we provide a fast and simple option for those who want to sell quickly.
Let us run the numbers and figure out how much we can offer you for your home. We will also tell you whether listing with an agent is a better decision or not. Lastly, it doesn’t hurt to get an offer from us. Our offers are FREE and have no obligations.
4. Will you pay a fair price for my property?
Great question. Yes, we definitely pay honest and fair prices for properties.
Please understand that there is a difference between “fair” and “market value.” If the house needs work and repairs then that factor will be taken into consideration when we make our offer. Every time we make an offer we present all possible options and opportunities.
5. Will you list my house on the MLS?
No, we will not list your house on the MLS.
When we buy your home in its as-is condition, our goal is to fix and renovate the property then sell it for a profit. If we discover that listing with an agent is a better option for your situation, we will refer you to one of the top agents in Florida.
6. Should I just list my house with an agent?
Honestly, we don’t know yet.
We would need to take a look at your house, situation, timeline, and expectations in order to give you a good answer. We would be happy to provide you with our professional recommendation if we learn that listing would be a better option for you.
Many homeowners don’t understand the benefits and drawbacks of listing their house on the MLS. This is something to consider before working with a real estate agent or going the “For Sale By Owner” route.
7. How are you different from a real estate agent?
An agent doesn’t actually purchase your house. Listing agents market your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), in hopes it will sell. Agents charge commissions and fees. Listing your house in Florida means you will be responsible for paying closing costs, title insurance, escrow fees, and have to be deal with countless showings while your house can be sitting on the market for several months.
We have the cash as well as connections with other cash investors who regularly buy houses, fix, and sell them for a profit. We are cash investors who will buy your house, allowing you to bypass the entire traditional listing process. Since we are cash buyers, when you sell your house to us you will not have to pay commissions or fees and we take care of the conventional expenses associated with selling your property like closing costs and inspections.
8. Are there any obligations after I submit the form?
There are no obligations.
We completely understand that you have options. We are aware of the fact that there are people who are dedicated to deceiving and taking advantage of sellers’ situations.
We separate ourselves from others by being transparent and making sure you understand that our offers are FREE and are not obliged to accept.
We’ll present you with your cash offer and if you choose to accept, great! Rest assured, you will get everything we agreed on the day of closing. If you don’t accept our offer, no problem, we can help you determine the best solution for selling your home.
9. Do I need to clean or fix anything before I sell?
No. When we say “take what you want and leave anything else behind,” we mean it.
Old furniture, mattresses, junk, expired food in the fridge, we’ve seen it all. Make this easy for yourself and just take what you want and leave the rest to us.
10. What will you do with my house?
We buy a lot of properties. When we buy your house we will fix it and sell it for a profit. It benefits the homeowner, the community, and the economy. Sometimes we will have one of our partners step in and close on your home, rest assured you will get everything we agreed on.
11. My house is in terrible condition, will you still buy it?
We buy houses in Florida no matter the condition, good or bad. We would love to buy your home even if its in terrible shape. Trust me we’ve seen it all.
12. How do you sell a house by yourself (FSBO)?
Selling your house by yourself requires time.
Here are the 5 steps to selling your home FSBO:
1. Understand the pros and cons of taking For Sale By Owner route.
This is absolutely critical because you need to know what you’re getting yourself into.
2. Calculate a realistic asking price.
Learn about your local real estate market so you understand how much your house is actually worth.
3. Prepare your house for the open market.
Perform repairs or sell as-is, but whatever you do make sure you don’t price yourself out of the market with an over inflated asking price.
4. Find a buyer.
List your home for sale on the MLS under FSBO and be prepared to hold open houses. Make sure you know your local market well and be ready to negotiate with buyers.
5. Closing.
Make sure you understand the real estate laws in your state and city. I strongly advise hiring an attorney who specializes in real estate laws and closings.
