Frequently Asked Questions

1. What info will you need from me?

If you want to sell your house fast, we need these initial information from you:

• Full Name
• Phone Number
• Property Location (Address or General Area)

We’ll give you a call to get a few more details about your house. Just basic stuff, nothing fancy or complicated. Just enough info for us to know what we’re dealing with so we can make you a fair, fast all-cash offer or explore options for listing your home on the market.

To better understand your needs, we’ll also ask for the following as we move forward:

• Your timeline for selling
• Condition of your home
• Reason for selling

You can fill up the form below to start.

2. Is there any obligation if I submit my information?

Once you provide details about your property, there’s absolutely no obligation. We’ll review everything and may schedule a call to learn more. Then, we’ll make you a fair cash offer. From there, the decision is entirely yours—we’re here to support whatever choice feels best for you.

3. Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

We are licensed real estate agents and experienced investors who can pay cash or connect you with an investor buyer. If you choose to list your house with us, our fees are outlined in the paperwork and are comparable to other agents.

We also offer a NO FEE option called Quick Cash Close, where we make a fair all-cash offer with no fees, and we or our investor buyer cover all closing costs. Contact us at (910) 538-7737 or submit the form on our website so we can help you sell your house and maximize your profit.

Learn more about the difference between selling to us versus to an agent.

4. How do you decide on the price of my house?

Our process is straightforward: we personally visit the Wilmington, NC real estate property to evaluate its location, needed repairs, and current condition, along with the sale prices of comparable homes nearby. The extent of repairs needed is the biggest factor in determining our offer price; we can offer more for homes that need only cosmetic updates, but lower offers for those with significant issues.

Regardless of condition, we’re interested in any home you want to sell and believe that a fair offer requires a physical inspection of the property.

5. What if the house is in really bad shape? Will you still buy it?

Absolutely! We’d be more than happy to—no condition is too challenging for us to handle. We buy houses in any condition. You’d be amazed at some of the houses we’ve bought before.

Why do we buy even rundown houses? Simple, most neglected houses just need a little TLC, some need more extensive repairs, and then they’re pretty houses that someone would love to live in once again. We pay for all renovations and repairs after we buy the house — so you don’t have to worry about any of that.

So if you want to sell your house fast for your property in Wilmington NC, we’re the people for it!

6. Can you still buy my house if it’s in foreclosure?

Yes, we often work with homeowners who are facing foreclosure. Selling quickly to a cash buyer can be an effective way to avoid foreclosure, which can otherwise significantly impact your credit and financial future. Timing is essential in these situations, so please reach out as soon as possible so we can assess your options and potentially help you avoid foreclosure.

7. Can you help me with moving or finding a new place to live if I sell my home to you?

Of course. We’re flexible with moving timelines and can work on a closing date that suits your needs. If you need extra time after closing, we can arrange a temporary rent-back option, allowing you to stay in your home for a short period.

Additionally, if you need assistance finding temporary or permanent housing, we’re here to help make your transition as smooth as possible. Just let us know your needs, and we’ll work with you to create a plan that works best for you.

8. How fast is a fast closing?

Once you share details about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 days, much faster than the 30+ days a traditional sale often takes!

9. Will you be listing my home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Services) or actually buying it?

10. What if I change my mind after you make an offer?

That’s completely fine! As we said, our offers are no-obligation, so you’re free to decline if you change your mind or find another option. We’re here to support you, whether you move forward or decide to explore other choices. Just keep in mind that our offer to sell your house fast is always on the table.
