FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Main Questions

Do you really buy houses, or is this just advertising?

Yes, we really buy houses. I live part of the time in Florida and part of the time in North Carolina.

How long does it take to sell my house?

Usually between 7 to 21 days. Sometimes even faster — it all depends on the paperwork and your situation.

Will I have to pay any commission or closing fees?

No. I cover all the costs myself. No hidden fees or surprise charges.

Do you only buy houses in perfect condition?

Not at all. We also buy homes that need repairs. You don’t have to spend money fixing anything.

Can you buy my house for cash?

Absolutely. If you need to sell quickly, we can make a fair cash offer and close fast.

What if I need more time or special terms?

No problem. We use creative strategies like Seller Financing or Subject-To to find a solution that works best for you.

Is this process safe?

Yes. All transactions go through a licensed title company, and you’re welcome to have your own attorney involved. Everything is official and transparent.

Selling Options

What are my main options for selling my house with you?

You have two main paths — a quick cash sale or a creative financing deal. We’ll look at your situation together and choose what fits best.

What if I don’t want to sell for a discount?

That’s where creative options come in. With strategies like Subject-To or Seller Financing, you can often keep the price you want while we make the terms flexible.

What is a “Subject-To” deal?

It means I take over your existing mortgage payments, while you transfer the property title to me. The loan stays in your name, but I’m responsible for paying it.

What is “Seller Financing”?

In this case, you act like the bank. We agree on a down payment and monthly installments. You keep getting steady income until the balance is paid off.

Which option is best for me?

It depends on your priorities. If speed and simplicity matter most, a cash sale is usually best. If price is more important and you’re open to flexible terms, creative financing can be the perfect fit.

Subject-To FAQ

What does “Subject-To” mean?

It simply means you sell me your house, but your existing mortgage stays in place. I take over making the monthly payments on your loan, while the title of the property transfers to me.

Why would I sell my house this way?

It’s a great option if you don’t want to deal with foreclosure, can’t afford the payments anymore, or just want a simple solution without having to pay off your loan first.

Will the loan still be in my name?

Yes, the mortgage stays in your name, but I’m the one who makes the payments. The title, however, will transfer to me (or my company).

How do I know you’ll actually pay the mortgage?

We use a licensed third-party servicing company that collects payments from me and sends them directly to the bank. You can also get online access or email alerts to see every payment.

What if you stop making payments?

First, I take this very seriously — my reputation depends on it. Second, we can add legal protections for you, like a “performance deed,” which allows the property to revert back to you if payments aren’t made.

Is this legal?

Yes, subject-to deals are legal and are closed through a licensed title company. Many sellers also have their own attorney review the paperwork for extra peace of mind.

Does this affect my ability to buy another home?

In many cases, no. You can often qualify for another loan because the payments are being made by someone else. Lenders usually recognize this after a few months of on-time payments through a third party.

Seller Financing FAQ

What exactly is Seller Financing?

It’s when you, the seller, act like the bank. Instead of me getting a loan from a bank, I make monthly payments directly to you until the agreed balance is paid off.

Do I get money upfront, or only monthly payments?

Usually both. We agree on a fair down payment at closing, and then I continue with monthly installments. You get cash now and steady income moving forward.

Why would I consider Seller Financing instead of just a cash sale?

With Seller Financing, you can often sell at the price you want without having to lower it for a quick cash buyer. Plus, you earn interest on the payments, which can bring you even more money over time.

Is this safe for me as the seller?

Yes. Everything is done through a licensed title company, and you’ll have a promissory note and deed of trust (or mortgage, depending on the state) recorded in your favor. That means your interest is protected, just like a bank’s would be.

What happens if the buyer doesn’t make payments?

You have legal protection. If I ever missed payments (which I don’t), you could foreclose and take the property back. Most sellers like this option because they either get their money or get the property back.

What’s in it for me long-term?

You get predictable monthly income, often at a higher interest rate than a savings account or CD, while spreading out your taxes over time instead of paying all at once on a lump-sum sale.
