Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find some of the most common questions about what we do, along with our answers. If you still have more questions, feel free to contact us, and we will gladly address them.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: At Cash Home Options, we are professional home buyers, not real estate agents, and we do not list properties. We purchase homes in Florida that meet our buying criteria, and we use private funds rather than bank financing, ensuring a smooth and reliable closing process. After acquiring a property, we may choose to renovate and resell it or retain it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents typically list properties and work to attract potential buyers. If interested buyers are available, agents will show the property, but in many markets, it can take an average of 4 to 6 months to sell. Once a sale is completed, the agent earns a commission, which is generally between 3% and 6% of the sale price.
However, our approach is different. At Cash Home Options, we are home buyers, not agents. We purchase properties directly from homeowners. Since we pay in cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within just a few days, sometimes even the same day. Our business model involves assuming the risk by purchasing the property with our own funds, making any necessary repairs, and then marketing it ourselves to find a buyer.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the properties we purchase are below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit. We aim to obtain a fair discount on the property. From our experience, most sellers value and prefer the benefits we offer—such as an all-cash offer, a fast closing process (without the delays of financing), and the convenience of not having to invest time, effort, or money into repairs or agent fees. If you’re looking for a quick and hassle-free sale, we would be happy to explore a mutually beneficial price.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Our process is simple. We assess the property based on several factors: its location, the necessary repairs, its current condition, and the value of comparable homes recently sold in the area. By considering these key details, we determine a fair price that meets both our needs and yours.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: What sets us apart from the traditional home-selling process is that there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us, unlike the typical listing fees, which can take up to 6% of the sale price. We present you with an offer, and if it’s a good fit, we purchase your house with no hassle and no fees involved. In many cases, we also cover the closing costs. Our earnings come after we invest in repairs and resell the property at a profit. We assume the risks of selling for a profit.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: With our no-obligation pricing commitment, you’re under no pressure to accept our offer, but knowing what we can provide is always helpful. After you provide us with some basic information about your property, we will review the details and may schedule a call to learn more. We will then present you with a fair, all-cash offer. From there, the decision is entirely yours as to whether you’d like to proceed with the sale. We respect your choice and allow you to decide what’s best for you.
