A: Agents put properties on the market, hoping for a buyer. They show homes to potential buyers, which currently takes 6-12 months on average, and earn a percentage from the sale’s proceeds. Typically, this commission ranges from 3-6% (for a $100,000 property, that’s $3,000 – $6,000 paid to the agent). Agents are excellent for sellers who can afford to wait and are willing to pay commission fees. Our distinction: we’re buyers, not agents. We buy houses directly. We don’t list; we purchase outright with cash, enabling us to decide rapidly, often within days, to buy your property. We invest our own funds to buy, refurbish, and personally sell the house, which is a challenging aspect in today’s market.
