Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. So here’s 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 (or give us a call) and we’ll 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: We buy houses in the Carolinas that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part of 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 fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)

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 values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. 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 us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risk 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 it’s payments… and oftentimes with cash in your hand).
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 take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 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 actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple days (sometimes 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 (which is the hard part in this market).
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
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… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
How Do I Sell My House Fast?
Selling your house fast is simple when you work with a cash home buyer. Instead of listing your property, making repairs, and waiting for a buyer, you can request a cash offer and choose a closing date that works for you. At TurnPro Home Buyers, we make the process quick and hassle-free. You can learn more about our step-by-step process on our How It Works page.
How Do Cash Home Buyers Work?
Cash home buyers purchase properties directly from homeowners without requiring repairs or financing. After reviewing your property, they make a cash offer. If you accept, the sale can often close in just a few days. To learn more about our company and how we help local homeowners, visit our About Us page.
How Much Do Cash Home Buyers Pay?
Cash home buyers consider factors like the property’s condition, location, repair costs, and current market trends. Every offer is different, and there is no obligation to accept.
Can I Sell My House As-Is?
Yes. You can sell your house as-is without making repairs or improvements. Many homeowners choose this option because it saves time and money. If you’re interested in learning more about selling a home in its current condition, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides helpful information for homeowners.
Can I Sell My House As-Is Without an Inspection?
Yes. Cash buyers often purchase homes in their current condition. While they may inspect the property to understand its value, major repairs are usually not required.
Can I Sell My House With a Mortgage?
Yes. Having a mortgage does not prevent you from selling your home. The remaining mortgage balance is typically paid from the sale proceeds during closing.
Can I Sell My House Before Paying Off the Mortgage?
Yes. Many homeowners sell their homes before paying off the entire mortgage. The lender receives the outstanding balance at closing.
What Happens to My Mortgage When I Sell My House?
Your mortgage is paid off using the proceeds from the sale. Any remaining equity belongs to you after other closing expenses are settled.
Can I Sell an Inherited House?
Yes. In many cases, inherited homes can be sold once the legal requirements are completed. The process may vary depending on the estate situation.
Can I Sell a House in Probate?
Yes. Probate properties can often be sold with court approval when required by state law. We can work with homeowners and estate representatives during the process.
Can I Sell a House in Foreclosure?
Yes. Selling before the foreclosure process is complete may help you avoid additional financial difficulties. Acting quickly is important.
Who Pays Closing Costs?
Closing costs can vary depending on the agreement between the buyer and seller. In many cash transactions, the buyer may cover some or all of these costs.
Do I Need to Make Repairs Before Selling?
No. We buy houses in many different conditions, so you can often sell without spending money on repairs or cleaning.
Do You Buy Houses in Any Condition?
Yes. We buy houses that need repairs, inherited properties, rental properties, vacant homes, and homes facing foreclosure.
How Long Does It Take to Sell My House for Cash?
A cash sale can often close much faster than a traditional sale. The exact timeline depends on the property’s situation and your preferred closing date.
Are Cash Home Buyers Legitimate?
Yes. Many professional cash home buyers provide a simple way for homeowners to sell quickly. It’s always a good idea to research the company, read reviews, and ask questions before making a decision.
Can I Sell My House Without a Realtor?
Yes. You can sell directly to a cash home buyer without listing your property with a real estate agent, which may help save time and commissions.
Is There Any Obligation to Accept a Cash Offer?
No. Requesting a cash offer is typically free, and you can decide whether the offer meets your needs
