1. Who is Liz Buys Houses?
Liz Buys Houses is dedicated to connecting homeowners looking to sell their house for cash with our extensive network of real estate investors spanning every market across the United States. What sets our investors apart is their local expertise and hands-on approach. Operating directly within their respective markets, they possess in-depth knowledge of the local market and property values.
This local expertise enables them to offer sellers higher cash offers and expedited closings, as they are well-equipped to assess the true value of properties and navigate the intricacies of each market with efficiency and precision. By leveraging our network of local investors, Liz Buys Houses strives to provide homeowners with an unparalleled selling experience that prioritizes speed and convenience.
2. What are the steps involved in selling my house for cash?
The steps involved in selling your house for cash including providing us with information about your property and any specific needs you have followed by us making you a cash offer. If you like our offer, we will set a closing date that works for you and pay you in cash at closing.
1. Submit Information: Once you submit our form, one of our local cash home buyers will give you a call to discuss your property and assess your needs and timeline.
2. Receive Cash Offer: We perform our due diligence and research your property to curate a fair cash offer. Ideally, we arrange an appointment to personally walkthrough the property and meet with each seller face-to-face. If this isn’t possible, we can provide a cash offer over the phone.
3. Close and Get Paid: The closing process for a cash sale is typically faster and simpler than a traditional sale. We work with each seller to schedule a closing date that is convenient for you and fits into the title company’s schedule. On the closing date, you’ll receive the agreed-upon cash payment for your property, and ownership of the home will be transferred.
3. Can I sell my house for cash if it’s vacant or occupied by tenants?
Yes, we buy houses regardless of the occupancy or vacancy. Our local investors have a ton of experience purchasing properties in any condition, whether they’re vacant, owner-occupied, or rented out to tenants.
Selling for cash allows you to avoid the hassle of finding a traditional buyer who may require the property to be vacant or the lease agreement with tenants to be terminated.
At Liz Buys Houses, we’re flexible and can accommodate your specific scenario so that you can sell your house quickly and hassle-free, regardless of its occupancy status!
4. Will you offer a fair price for my property?
We strive to offer fair prices for houses, prioritizing transparency and integrity with every transaction. Our goal is not to undercut sellers but to ensure you feel satisfied with our cash offer and appreciate the hassle-free benefits it brings, including no hidden fees, repairs, showings, agents, etc.
However, it’s important to distinguish between a fair price and “market value.” If a house requires updates or repairs, these factors will be taken into account when formulating our offer. In some cases, we can utilize “creative financing” to tailor an offer that works better for both of us.
5. Are there any fees or commissions involved in selling my house for cash?
There are NO fees or commissions when selling your house with Liz Buys Houses. We’re here to make this process simple and hassle-free for you unlike a traditional sale with added costs, such as agent commissions, closing costs, and repairs. Our buyers cover the expenses associated with the sale, providing you with a stress-free transaction.
6. Would it be better to list my house with a real estate agent?
Whether it’s better to list your house with a real estate agent depends on your specific circumstances and priorities. Listing with an agent can offer benefits such as professional marketing. However, it also comes with commissions, repairs, and the uncertainty of how long it may take to sell.
On the other hand, selling your house for cash can provide advantages like a quicker sale, no commissions or repairs, and a simpler, faster process overall. We recommend weighing these factors and considering your timeline, financial situation, and preferences before making a decision.
7. Can I sell my house for cash if it’s currently in foreclosure or has liens?
Yes, you can still sell your house for cash even if it’s currently in foreclosure or has liens. As cash buyers, we’re used to purchasing properties in various conditions, including those facing foreclosure or with liens attached.
Sellers in these situations reach out to us because selling for cash can alleviate financial burdens and help you avoid the consequences of foreclosure or dealing with liens. However, it’s essential to disclose these circumstances to us upfront to ensure a transparent and legally compliant transaction.
8. Do I have any obligations when I submit my information?
Submitting your information comes with no obligations.
We recognize that you have choices. To set ourselves apart from other options, we want you to know that there are no costs involved in receiving a free cash offer on your house from us. If you don’t like what we have to offer, you can just let us know and we will wish you all the best.
9. Do I need to make any repairs or renovations before selling?
No, there’s no need for you to clean or make any repairs or renovations before selling your house. We take care of all cleaning and repairs after closing on the house. You’re free to leave behind anything you don’t want to take with you, whether it’s food in the fridge, trash, or old furniture. We handle everything for you.
10. What can I expect during the closing process?
The closing process for a cash sale is straightforward. We will set a date that works for you and that the title company or attorney has available. Most often it will be a virtual closing (e-sign the closing documents and we ACH transfer the funds). An in-person closing can be available upon request.
