Q:  What method do you use to establish the offer price for my place?

A:  Excellent question, and we believe in transparency. Our approach is simple and direct. We assess the property’s location, necessary repairs, its current condition, and the values of recently sold comparable homes in the area. By considering multiple factors, we determine a fair price that benefits both parties.

Q: Are there any charges or commissions associated with collaborating with you?

Our revenue comes after covering any repairs on the property (if needed) and selling it at a profit. We shoulder the risk of selling it profitably once we acquire the home from you. The responsibility is ours, and you can walk away free of the property and its payments, often with money in hand.
