Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers and we purchase properties quickly and for cash. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Are you offering fair prices for properties?
A: At Columbus Ohio House Buyers, we specialize in buying properties below market value for houses that need work and need to be modernized and updated. We aim to provide a fair discount to sellers while offering the convenience of a fast, all-cash transaction without the need for repairs, waiting for financing, or paying agent fees. We understand that most sellers appreciate a hassle-free sale rather than holding out for a large profit. If you value a swift home sale, let’s work together to agree on a mutually beneficial price. Our no-obligation pricing commitment allows you to consider our offer without any pressure to proceed, providing you with valuable information on the options available for selling your property quickly. Contact us at (614) 502-2614 to explore the possibilities!
Q: Can You Pay Retail For My Property?
No, we cannot pay retail for your property as we are a real estate investment company and we are looking to buy houses that we can put some work into so that we can get a good deal on the property while also giving you the best offer possible for your property so that it is a win-win situation!
We are usually very competitive with our offers compared to our competition in the real estate market we strive to give homeowners as much money as possible while still making it a win-win situation.
If you have a house that is fully renovated and does not need any work and you call us and want to sell your house fast we can buy your house but we will also let you know that your best option if you want retail and your property needs no work is to list with the realtor so that you can find a homeowner that will purchase your property when an investor is looking to purchase your property they are looking at it from a business standpoint and cannot pay as much.
DOWNLOAD our free guide that walks you through the Pros and Cons (plus the cost and timeline) of selling your house to a real estate investor versus the pros, cons, and costs of the other two alternatives – listing with an agent or selling it yourself. Read these and decide for yourself if it is better to sell to an investor or better to list the property with a real estate agent.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: You’ve asked a great question! At Columbus Ohio House Buyers, transparency is key. Our approach is simple and honest. We carefully analyze factors such as the property’s location, necessary repairs, current condition, and the market value of similar homes recently sold in the area. By meticulously evaluating these details, we strive to propose a fair price that meets both our needs and yours.
we also will provide you with a comp visual document that will show you why we are offering you the price that we are offering you for the property so that you know we are giving you a legitimate offer that we calculated and not just giving out low ball offers.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too!
We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
we will also help you move and find you a new place to move into whether you are looking to buy a house or rent a house we do this and also help pay for the moving cost sometimes to make the process as easy as possible for you.
Q: Are You The One Directly Buying My Property?
Yes, we will be purchasing your property or one of our investors or private money lenders that we work with will be working with us on the project we work with many investors so that we can buy as many properties as possible so yes it will be us or one of our investors buying the property from you.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6 to 12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
we are here to help you make the best decision that you possibly can with your property and to make sure that you can do what is best for you and your family we look forward to helping you out and purchasing your property for a fair cash offer!
