Frequently Asked Questions

A: Good question! We are not agents, and so we do not list houses. We are professional home and property buyers. We buy houses and properties in Lafayette, LA that meet our purchasing criteria. At that point, we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner, or keep it as a rental property. 

A: Many homes and properties we purchase are below market value. We do this so that we can resell it at a later time for a profit to another home owner. We do look to get a fair discount on a house or property. In our experience, many people looking to sell are not necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. They do appreciate that we offer cash, we close very quickly because we are not waiting on financing, and they don’t have to take up their own time or effort trying to fix up the property. Sellers who sell to us also do not have to pay agent fees. So if you’re looking to sell your home or property, it’s important to us that we come to a fair win-win price so that all parties can walk away from the closing table happy with the deal. Besides all that, we have our no-obligation pricing commitment, which means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give. It is good to know what we are offering!

A: Good question! We are an open book. Our process is very straight forward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needing to be done, the current condition of the property, and the values of comparable houses sold in the area of your house or property recently. House values have taken a huge hit over the last few years. Prices have gone up and down dramatically. We take lots of information into consideration and come up with a fair price that works for us and that works for you. 

A: We stand out because of this question and how we answer. We stand out because we do not stick with the traditional method of buying the house you’re selling. There are NO FEES OR COMMISSIONS when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit for you and us we’ll buy your house, and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too! No fees. No hassle. We only make money off of a house or property after we have made repairs to the house and sell it for a profit. We take 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 on us, and you get to walk away without the burden of the property and its payment. Often with cash in your hand!

A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. That agent has to show the property, and often times stage the property to show to prospective buyers IF there are any. The average time to sell a home or property is often 6 to 12 months. Then they take a percentage of the sell price if and when they do find a buyer. An agent’s commission is between 3 and 6 percent of the sale price of the house. (So if a house sells for $100,000, you will pay between $3,000 and $6,000 in commission to the agent.) Real estate agents do provide a great service for those who can’t wait 6-12 months to sell and to those who don’t mind giving up some of the sale price to pay for the commissions. But that is where WE ARE DIFFERENT. We aren’t agents who depend on commissions from house sells. We are HOME BUYERS. We actually buy houses and properties. We don’t list houses. And because we are the ones actually buying the house from you, we pay with all cash. We can make a decision to buy your house normally within a couple of days, and sometimes even on the same day. We make our living taking the risk to buy the house from you with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves or find a renter (which is all the hard part in these markets).

A: Not at all! There is no obligation for you to accept our offer. Once you tell us about your house or property you are wanting to sell, we’ll take a look at several things and maybe setup a call with you to find out more information, and then make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. It’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We won’t hassle you. We won’t harass you. It’s 100% your decision. And we want you to decide what is right for you.
