Questions Sellers Actually Ask

Three inputs: recent comparable sales near your house, its honest condition, and the current market in your town. There's no fixed percentage formula — Jordan evaluates each house individually and makes his highest and best offer up front, usually within 24 hours.

We pay honest prices. A cash offer is usually below full retail — in exchange you skip repairs, commissions, months of waiting, and financing risk. For some houses that trade is clearly worth it; for others listing is better, and we'll tell you which is which. Sellers have accepted 532 of our offers since 2015.

Many cash buyers use a "70% rule" — about 70% of after-repair value minus repairs, with the repair number often padded. We don't use a fixed percentage: each offer is built from real comparable sales, the house's actual condition, and the current local market, and because our costs are low after 532 purchases, our offers usually land higher than formula buyers'. The honest range varies house to house — which is exactly why a formula shortchanges sellers.

The first offer is genuinely our highest and best — we don't open low and climb. If you have information that changes the picture (a newer roof, a recent HVAC), tell Jordan and he'll gladly re-run the numbers. What we never do is start with a fake number and "find" more later.

It's firm. We assess the house before we make the number, so there's no inspection-renegotiation game later. The first number is the real number.

Nothing, and there's no obligation. If you take the offer, there are still no fees or commissions — and we typically cover standard closing costs.

Yes — and we do, regularly. A market-ready house in a hot neighborhood usually nets more with an agent. We'd rather be the people who told you the truth than win one extra deal.

Jordan reaches out the same day — by phone, or he'll come walk the house if you prefer. You'll usually have his highest and best cash offer within 24 hours. Accept it, and you pick the closing date.

Our fastest closings run about 7 days. Cash plus our own closing attorney means no lender timeline. If you need two or three months instead, the date is yours to set.

Often yes — we regularly build post-closing move-out time into the agreement, especially for downsizers and estates.

Our closing attorney prepares everything; you review and sign — electronically or by mail if you're out of the area. Most sellers touch paper exactly once.

Usually just your ID and whatever establishes your ownership — a deed if handy (we can pull it from county records if not), mortgage information if there's a loan to pay off, and estate paperwork if you're selling an inherited property. Our closing attorney assembles everything else.

It depends on your situation — many owner-occupants owe nothing thanks to the federal home-sale exclusion, while investment properties and inherited homes have their own rules (inherited houses often benefit from a stepped-up basis). We're not tax advisors, so check with a CPA — but we're glad to explain what typically applies so you can ask the right questions.

No — we close with out-of-state sellers routinely, common with inherited properties. Documents travel; you don't have to.

Any condition, truly. We've bought houses with collapsed ceilings, fire damage, and yards the woods took back — the photos on our city pages are our own purchases. Condition affects price, never eligibility.

No. Take what you want and leave the rest — furniture, clothes, full attics. Clean-out is our job after closing.

Yes — including a mobile home on Fox Run Dr in Statesville and a brick-underpinned doublewide in Lincolnton. Land or leased lot, either way we'll look at it.

Regularly — paying or not. The tenant relationship transfers to us at closing; you never have to evict anyone to sell.

All three. Our record includes vacant lots, duplexes and triplexes, and packages of four and six properties closed in a single transaction.

Yes — this is completely normal. Your loan gets paid off from the sale proceeds at closing and you keep the difference. We request the payoff statement from your lender early so you know your exact walk-away number before you commit.

That's a specialty. Our in-house paralegal resolves liens, heir searches, and old estates at no cost to you — it's how we buy houses other buyers walk away from.

Neither. We're a local family team based in Cornelius, NC — buying since 2015, 532 houses so far, across the greater Charlotte region.

No — we're professional home buyers purchasing directly, which is why there are no commissions. When we think an agent listing would serve you better, we say so.

Charlotte and the surrounding region: Iredell, Gaston, Rowan, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Catawba, Mecklenburg, Lincoln, Union, and surrounding counties — plus Rock Hill and York County in South Carolina. See the town-by-town list on our homepage, with real purchase counts.

The good ones are; the industry also has bad actors. Warning signs: pressure to sign today, offers that drop sharply after "inspection," no verifiable purchase history, and out-of-state operations wholesaling your contract to someone you've never met. Protection: verify actual purchases (county deed records are public), insist the offer is firm in writing, and never pay any fee to a buyer. Our record — 532 deeds since 2015, photo-documented on this site — is checkable in public records.

Check the evidence: 532 documented purchases, photo galleries of real houses we bought (not stock images), video testimonials from named sellers on our reviews page, and a decade of continuous local buying. Then call and judge for yourself — no pressure, ever.
