Q: What sets apart West Michigan Home Buyers from selling through a real estate agent?
A: A real estate agent sells your home through the MLS, showcasing it to numerous potential buyers. This process involves multiple walkthroughs, lasting weeks or months, before finding the right buyer. Post-sale, you incur title fees, closing costs, and the agent’s commission.
Unlike traditional methods, as investors, we promptly acquire your property or find buyers who follow a similar approach. After renovation, we resell for a profit. Selling to us involves covering inspection and closing costs with no commission charges. Skip the agent, reduce expenses, and experience a quicker, hassle-free sale.
Q: Are you planning to list my property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), or is your intention to purchase it outright?
A: No MLS listings here. We’re not agents; we’re buyers. We work with you to determine the best offer, handle the entire process, manage repairs after purchase, and sell for profit. You get your funds promptly, with transparent, detailed computations for your confidence and satisfaction.
Q: How about the price do you pay me a fair price for my property?
A: We often buy below-market-value properties to resell for profit. Seeking a fair discount, we provide quick, hassle-free transactions. Sellers appreciate our quick, no-agent-fees approach. If you value a swift sale without obligations, let’s explore a fair, win-win price – no pressure to accept the offer.
Q: How does your company decide the price to offer me for my property?
A: Our process is transparent. We assess property location, needed repairs, current condition, and recent comparable sales. Given the impact on home values over the last five years, we carefully consider various factors to determine a fair price that benefits both parties.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions if you buy my place?
A: This is what sets us apart from the traditional selling process: No fees or commissions when you sell to us. If our offer aligns, we’ll purchase your property (often covering closing costs). No hassle, no fees. Our profit comes after covering any repairs and selling for a profit. We take the risks, and you walk away without property burdens and often with funds in hand.
Q: How can I be certain that this is the most suitable course of action for me?
A: Getting an agent for the sale involves a prolonged process with inspections, repairs, and a constant flow of people touring your property. The asking price may fluctuate, considering repairs and additional costs agreed upon by you or the buyer.
We assess your situation and handle all forthcoming expenses tied to selling your property. This enables us to present a fair offer and swiftly relieve you of the property.
No matter your property’s condition, it remains an excellent option for those seeking a quick selling process. Once we evaluate your home, we guide you on whether listing with an agent is a more suitable option for you.
Q: Is cleaning my property necessary before you purchase it?
A: There’s no need to clean or repair any aspect of your property. Simply leave it as is, and we’ll handle everything after purchasing your home. It’s a convenience our clients appreciate when selling through this process.
Q: Am I committed in any way when I submit my information?
A: You are under no obligation to proceed with us after filling out the form. Even if the process starts and you decide it’s not the right fit, there’s no cost to you. While we’re confident in our services, we understand if you choose a different path. Our compensation comes solely from the profit after acquiring and reselling your property.
