Question 1

Who Typically Sell Their Houses to OfferMax Homebuyers LLC?

Accepted Answer

People from all over, without distinction, have sold their houses to us, but they all have one thing in common: They want to sell a house quickly and safely to a trusted home buyer who can make a cash offer and close on their schedule.

Here are just some of the reasons people sell to us:

Need to sell an inherited property quickly.
Want to unload a rental property with problem renters?
Relocating or job transfer.
Going through a divorce.
Falling behind on mortgage payments and facing possible foreclosure.
Not wanting to deal with structural or repair issues.
Simply moving but not wanting to mess with repairs, painting, or cleaning.
…and more

Question 2

What Exactly is an 'Unappealing' House?

Accepted Answer

The phrase ‘We Buy Houses Cash’ is our way of letting sellers know that we are willing to buy houses that are either in poor condition or, for one reason or another, that is not important to us; what is important is that they meet our standard criteria. This includes some of the following reasons:

Houses with serious structural issues such as foundation, roof, plumbing, or electrical problems.
Houses located in less-than-desirable or high-crime neighborhoods.
Houses that are located in flood plains or in areas prone to the effects of weather.
Houses with high interest rates or undesirable mortgage financing.
Houses with payments or balances that are too high for the owner to handle.
Houses that have bad memories for the homeowner, such as a death, divorce, or tragedy.
Houses that no longer serve the needs of the homeowner — too big, too small, inconvenient location, and so on.

Question 3

What if My House Isn't 'Unappealing?'

Accepted Answer

We would still like to hear from you. Our investors are interested in any houses that make sense as a good investment, regardless of condition. Whether your Unappealing house needs a lot of work or little, call us.

Question 4

How Does the House Buying Process Work?

Accepted Answer

We follow a quick and simple process that makes things easy for everyone involved:

It's very simple. You can either FILL OUT THE CASH OFFER FORM OR CALL US TO XXX-XXX-XXX. You give us basic information about the house you want to sell. If the house fits our investment criteria, we will schedule an appointment with you within 24 hours or at your earliest convenience.

When we meet you at the house, our team will walk through to evaluate and assess any changes or repairs necessary. Using this information, we can usually make you a CASH OFFER on the spot; our professional team will answer any questions you may have about OfferMax Homebuyers LLC and the process we follow to purchase any house. You are under no obligation to accept our CASH OFFER. But if you do, we will draw up a standard contract which has to be executed by buyer and seller.

We’ll set up closing at a local reputable title company at a time that works for you. The contract is taken to the title company to review, clear the title, and prepare the title for closing. Sometimes, all this can occur in as little as one week, so you can get your cash at closing and move on as quickly as you wish. You're done!

Question 5

Will You Pay Market Value for My House?

Accepted Answer

Our first and foremost goal is to provide you with a solution. Our business is to invest time and money in renovating houses and make money once the house is back on the market. After answering your question and evaluating the condition of your house, our team of professionals will make a fair, no-obligation CASH OFFER based on the expected market value of your house after full renovation, discounting the renovation time and costs.

While we buy at a discount, selling to OfferMax Homebuyers LLC provides a number of benefits to the seller. These include the following:

There’s no need to deal with realtors or realtor commissions.
We cover normal closing costs.
We pay cash — so there are never delays from banks, and deals don’t fall through because of financing.
We buy “as is,” so you don’t have to worry about repairs or cleanup.
We close on your schedule when you’re ready.
If you’re in a rush, we can close in as little as three weeks, so you can move on.

Question 6

How Do You Determine the Cash Offer You'll Make For My Home?

Accepted Answer

After buying more than 3,500 homes, we have to estimate down to a science. Before making you an offer, our team of professionals evaluates a few factors, including but not limited to the following:

The current condition of your house.
The estimated cost of repairs and renovations required.
The amount of time it will take to renovate and sell your house.
The future after-renovation value (ARV) of your house, compared to other homes in the area.
The amount of expenses and real estate commissions required to sell your home after renovation.
Maintenance costs until the house is sold include insurance, utilities, taxes, loan payments, and more.
The estimated future “post-renovation” value of your renovated house, minus these costs, helps us arrive at the cash offer that we make.

Question 7

Do You Buy Condos and Other Types of Homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy condos, townhouses, duplexes, multi-tenant buildings, and even some commercial properties, as long as they meet our standard criteria.

Question 14

How Long Will the Process Take?

Accepted Answer

We are quick, and our goal is to offer you the highest value and close on the sale in the shortest period of time. We know some owners are selling to avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings, so we understand the urgency. There will be compromises in the timelines of our goal for selfish motives. The time period in which the sale is going to close typically depends on you as the seller and title company to clear the tile, as we are always ready to make an offer on any property.

Question 15

Can I Sell If There Are People Living in the Home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that will be no problem; if the home is rented or occupied, we will purchase it; in many cases, after purchasing, we will allow the tenants to stay in the home, or we will find a positive solution for everyone involved. If this is the case, you need to inform us so that we do not scare the occupants in the home, as the house will need to be evaluated. Also, many tenants will be surprised to see inspectors outside the home if they are living there.

Question 16

What Should I Do If I’m Feeling Lost and Overwhelmed?

Just reassure yourself that things will get better; you need to realize this is just one rough patch that will soon be part of your past.

Don’t try to get rid of this problem on your own; a distressed owner or property professional, such as our team, will be with you by your side.

Question 17

How Long Does It Take to Get a Cash Offer?

Accepted Answer

Our team usually evaluates the house and makes you a no-obligation, CASH OFFER on the spot. If you are able to show the property or give access to it, this typically happens within 24 to 48 hours. We buy houses fast! We don't mess around.

Question 18

How Long Does It Take To Sell My House And Get The Money?

Accepted Answer

If absolutely necessary, we can close in as fast as 7 days. Typically, we schedule closing for 3-4 weeks, but are willing to set it to be whenever it is convenient for you and the title company has the paperwork ready to close. So, whether you want to close within a week or a month, we can usually accommodate it. Selling your house fast has never been easier.

Question 19

Will You Be Listing My House on the MLS Or Actually Buying It?

Accepted Answer

Great question. We don’t list houses. We are professionals in Buying Unappealing Houses. We buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or investor, or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Question 20

How Are You Different from A Real Estate Agent?

Accepted Answer

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 3-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is around 6% of the sale price of your house. Agents provide a great service for those who can wait months to sell and don’t mind the commissions. But that’s where we are different: We’re not looking to be agents. We’re home buyers bringing solutions to sellers. Our company actually buys Unappealing houses. Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house, repair the house, sell it to an investor, or market it ourselves to find a buyer.

Question 21

How do you determine the price of my property?

Accepted Answer

a)     We Determine the Market Value of Your Home in CT.
It all starts with a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis). We look at all the houses that have recently been sold within a one-mile radius of your house and that are very similar (comparable) to your house (same square footage, number of beds/baths, etc.).
 We then look at their sold price. If your house is in the exact same condition as these other houses that have been sold, this gives us a very accurate market value.

b)     We Determine the Cost of Repairs.
The cost of repairs is the cost associated with bringing your house to a very similar condition as all the other houses in your area that are similar to yours that have recently been sold. During the walkthrough we note what needs to be repaired. We do this with the help of our trusted contractors. We want to keep the costs down so we only repair what we really have to repair.
Keeping the cost down ensures the highest offer we can present to you.

c)     We Make You an Offer.
Based on our findings, which we share with you, we present you with our offer. Because we are transparent, we explain in full detail how we came up with the offer and show you the repairs and the CMA of your market. The offer is free of obligation. You can either accept the offer or decline it, as everything is free to you.
If you accept the offer, we can discuss a closing date. On that date, you will receive your cash and be completely done with the house! Congratulations—you just sold your house without any hassle, fees, or commissions.
