Questions About the Home Buying Process

We know that selling a house for cash to a company like ours is a big decision. The questions below are common things we get asked about the process and Sisters Who Buy Houses.

Are you actually listing my house on the MLS or buying it?

We’re Louisville-based real estate investors who most often buy houses to fix and flip, or rehab to rent. When you sell to Sisters Who Buy Houses you convert your property to cash quickly and easily (Check out our many happy clients at closing)! As a full-service company, and because one of the Sisters is a licensed agent, we do occasionally list homes when it’s the best option for the seller.

Will you pay me a fair price for my property?

We are not a charity. Understandably, this means that there has to be margin in the deal for it to make sense. We strive to make the process of selling your home as painless, fast and stress-free as possible. We buy ‘as-is’ with creative options and the speed of cash and close fast! If you’re facing foreclosure, we understand that you may not have any equity left against the loan. In most cases we can negotiate with the lender for a discount to get the deal done.

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

There are several things we consider when determining the price of a house:

Your Needs
Condition of the Property
Rehab, Holding & Resale Costs

We look at the location of the house and how it compares to similar homes recently sold in the area. We also calculate rehab needed to get it ready to rent or re-sell. After a thorough examination of all the factors, we come up with a fair price that works for all parties involved.

How are you different from a real estate agent?

Working with a real estate agent typically means they will list your property while you hope that someone else will buy it. This process often takes 6-12 months and the real estate agent gets a commission up to 6% of the sale price. For example, if your house sold for $100,000, you’d end up paying $3,000-$6,000 to your real estate agent.

The problem with this approach is that you might not be able to afford to wait 3 to 6 months for your house to sell and the commissions might leave you with very little after paying off the mortgage. Our company is different because we actually buy your house, for cash. We’re real estate investors: That means you get cash for your house right away so you can stop worrying and waiting.

Will I have to pay any fees or commissions to work with you?

There are no fees or commissions when you work with Sisters Who Buy Houses. If you accept our offer, we’ll buy your house. In most cases we even pay for the closing costs! There are no fees and no hassles. We market your house, sell it, and make a profit. Because we take the risks, you don’t have to worry about anything.

Will I have to pay closing costs?

In most cases, we will pay all the closing costs. Submit your property through our webform to see if you qualify for no closing costs!

Can you help me if I am facing foreclosure?

Yes! If we buy your house, that immediately stops foreclosure. As professional real estate investors, we’re very familiar with the foreclosure process. We can help you by discussing what your different options are at absolutely no cost. If we end up not buying your house for some reason, we can still refer you to a foreclosure prevention specialist.

What happens if I lose my house in foreclosure?

Unfortunately, a foreclosure stays on your credit report for a minimum of 7 years. And, it will continue to negatively impact your credit for years after that. You should act immediately to prevent your house from being foreclosed on.

Can you buy my house even if it needs repairs?

Absolutely! Most of the homes we purchase need costly repairs. We buy your home “as is,” which helps you avoid the high costs and headaches of rehabbing a home. Imagine closing in a few weeks, rather than spending months rehabbing your house and praying you make a profit.

When I submit my information to you, is there any obligation?

There’s no obligation. After we know a little about your property, we’ll review the details, call you, and make you an all-cash offer. It’s 100% your decision what you end up doing. We provide you with the information to decide what is best for you and your situation.

Very thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. Although we wound up buying out of the state, she was very helpful and available for any concern we may have. Highly recommended.

Our mother needed to sell her Louisville, Kentucky, house - in need of significant repair & renovation - from her current home in Florida. We had many as-is, cash-offer companies come in to make assessments & offers. Angus with Sisters Who Buy Houses was by far the most professional & earnest representative we met, & their offer was the highest & very reasonable. From day one through to closing - this team left no questions unanswered & our confidence in them grew with each passing day. All documentation was handled electronically from Kentucky to Florida & back again, including the use of a mobile notary. Everything Angus & team said would happen did happen, & their sincere dedication to client care was above & beyond expected. We put our trust in this company's hands & we could not be more thankful for having done so. Truly a blessing to have met & worked with Angus & Sisters Who Buy Houses.

I recently needed to sell my elderly Mother’s home in Louisville. It was not in very good condition and needed a lot of work. Angus and his team gave us a very good price for the home and were absolutely great to work with. They were extremely considerate and patient and went above board every step of the way in helping us though the sale. I would most strongly recommend Angus and The Sisters Who Buy Homes to anyone wanting to sell their property to a local company and work with real professionals in the Real estate Market .

From start to finish Angus knocked this property out of the park. Really enjoyed working with him & The Sisters. Most of the paperwork was done on-line and it was very secure. I would recommend letting The sisters sell your property, they gave me a very fair deal, didn’t have to go back forth negotiating. Thank you so much for getting this house within 2-3 weeks time.
