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.
What happens after I send you my property information?
We’ll take a look at the information that you provided and contact you by phone to get additional details about your situation and the property that you want to sell. Then, after considering all of the specifics of your home, we’ll come up with a fair offer on your property that’s a win-win-win for all of us. Once you receive an offer from us, there’s no obligation whatsoever for you to accept it. We promise that the decision of whether or not to sell your home will always be totally left up to you. If you do decide to work with us, the process will be quick and you even get to pick a closing date that fits your schedule!
How long does it take to close?
With a clean title, we are able to buy most properties within 14 days. However, if you’re not in a rush, we are flexible and will work with you so you can sell and move on your timeline.
How is my offer calculated?
Our process is simple. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition, and comparable sales in your neighborhood. We also consider the age, size, and any notable features. All this helps us come up with a fair offer that works for us and works for you too.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
There is absolutely zero obligation for you to accept. If our offers don’t meet your goals, we’ll go our separate ways. It’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to work with us.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
No. There are no fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We cover all closing costs and title fees.
Do I need to make repairs?
No, we buy property AS-IS in any condition. No repairs, No cleaning and No need to worry about out-of-pocket expenses.
Do you buy properties that are occupied by tenants?
Yes we do. We’ll work with you and your tenants to make the process smooth for everyone involved.
What if I’m not in a hurry to sell?
We understand that every homeowner and every situation is different. We will work on any timeline you’re comfortable with. One thing to keep in mind is that the housing market changes from season to season, which means our offers can vary over time. Our initial offer is only valid for a limited time, but we are always able to give you an updated offer when you are ready to sell.
How is closing handled?
You let us know when you’d like to close and we work with a local title company to make that a reality. When the day arrives, signing closing papers can be done at the title company, or we can arrange for a mobile notary to come directly to you.
How will I get paid?
You decide. After all closing papers are signed, you can either pick up a check at the title company, have a check mailed to an address of your choosing, or have funds wired directly into your bank account.
Can I stay in my home after closing?
Yes. Our goal is to provide you with the flexibility you need during this transition period. Whether you need more time to find a new home, finish packing up, or finalize your finances, our Leaseback Program allows you to stay in your home, with cash in hand from the sale. Here’s how it works:
1. Sell Us Your Home: Get an offer and sell your home as-is and hassle-free to Better Way Home Solutions. We’ll handle all the paperwork and get it to the closing table
2. Lease It Back From Us: Once you sell and get paid, you can stay in your home by leasing it back from us for the amount of time you need. Plan your next adventure without the pressure of an immediate move.
3. Move Out: When you’re ready to move, simply pack up and go.
Can you help me find a place to live?
Yes we can. Just tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll find you your next home. We can even help you get financing for your new residence.
What are the benefits of a cash offer?
The primary benefits of a cash offer on your property are convenience and simplicity. Transactions are more complicated when a traditional lender is involved because they often have special requirements that must be met. Not to mention that traditional lenders won’t approve a loan on properties that need significant repairs. A cash offer cuts out all of these requirements and gets you what you need, money in your pocket in the shortest time possible.
How is a cash offer different from a creative offer?
Cash: refers to selling a property for all cash. It’s the easiest and quickest way to sell your property. There’s no mortgage applications, no bank appraisals, no out-of-pocket expenses. If you are looking for speed and convenience, a cash offer could be a good fit for you.
Creative: refers to selling a property using non-traditional methods. Some common creative methods include seller finance and subject-to. These methods are typically used in situations where a cash or traditional offer wouldn’t solve the problem. Certain situations require out-of-the-box thinking, and that’s where ‘Creative Financing’ can be a solution.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re a brokers and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses Dallas that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we buy are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. They appreciate that we can offer cash, we close quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!
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 4-6 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, which is usually paid by the seller (you!).
Agents provide a great service for those that have the time and patience to wait 4+ 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 actually buys houses. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house directly from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). 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: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
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 compared to listing fees, where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. 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.
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.
