Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers, no fluff.
How are you different from other “we buy houses” companies?
Most cash buyers give you one offer and push you to accept. We present multiple options, explain the trade offs honestly, and we partner with a licensed NJ brokerage, so listing on the MLS is a real option.
Do you actually pay cash?
We buy directly or with our investment partners, and every sale closes at a licensed NJ title company.
How do you determine your offer?
We evaluate the after repair value, subtract estimated repair costs, and factor in carrying costs and our margin, and we walk you through the math so you know exactly how we got to the number.
Will you buy my house if it needs major repairs?
Yes. Fire damage, flood damage, full gut renovations, code violations, even tenant issues. That is where a cash purchase makes the most sense.
Any fees or commissions?
On a cash purchase: no agent commissions, we cover standard closing costs. On an MLS listing, the standard commission applies and is disclosed before you sign anything. Your mortgage payoff, any liens, and the NJ realty transfer fee come out of your sale proceeds, as they would in any sale, and we show you that math before you sign.
How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 to 14 days when title is clear. Typical is 2 to 3 weeks, and we can wait up to 90 days if you need time.
Are you licensed professionals?
Our brokerage partner is a licensed NJ broker with 30+ years of New Jersey real estate experience. All MLS listings and formal representation run through that licensed brokerage.
Is there any obligation?
None. A call or form starts a conversation, nothing more. No pressure.
