FAQ on Selling Your Austin Home for Cash

Are you real estate agents wanting to list my home?

No, we do not want to list your home. We buy homes to resell or rent at a later date. We are not asking to list your home, we want to buy it!! 

What makes you different from other companies?

Many of the companies that promise to buy your house are not true real estate investors. In fact, they may even be selling your contract to another investor! We are legitimate investors, and we have the funds available to buy your house now!

What does it really mean when you say that you will buy my house for CASH?

We have the funds available in cash to buy your home today! We will not be applying for financing or selling your contract to another company. Because we have cash, you don’t have to deal with many of the hassles of a traditional sale. 

What will you do with my home after you purchase it?

Each home is unique. In some cases, we may renovate the property to sell or rent later. In other cases, the home may not need any renovations before it can be sold or rented. 

Will you pay what my home is actually worth?

We pay market value for the homes we buy. When you receive an offer from us, you can be sure it will be fair and reasonable. 

What are the steps in the process of selling my home?

After you have accepted the offer we make on your home, we will send the contract to a local title company. If necessary, the title company will request a payoff from the mortgage company before pulling a title report. Once we are sure the title is free and clear, we will close at your convenience. 

I currently live outside Texas. Is that going to be a problem?

Even if you are currently living in another state, we can still buy your home. We have worked with out-of-state buyers in the past, and we will do everything in our power to make the process as easy and convenient for you as possible. 

Where will we go to close on my house?

To ensure that the transaction adheres to all state regulations, we always schedule our closings at a local title company. The closing will be scheduled at your convenience. 

What if I am behind on my mortgage?

Even if you are behind on your mortgage payments, we can usually still buy your home. To get a better idea of how much you owe, we will ask the mortgage company to provide a statement of the reinstatement amount plus the outstanding balance. After we have this information, we can look at your options together. 

How long does it take to sell my home?

We are in the business of selling homes quickly! In the past, we have been able to close on a sale in as little as a few days. However, we can also slow the process down if needed. Our goal is to make you comfortable. 

I feel a little overwhelmed with trying to sell my home. What can I do?

We understand how overwhelming the idea of a home sale can be, but we are here to make it simple! Because we are in the business of buying homes, we have perfected and streamlined our sales process.

What will it cost me to have you come look at my home?

We don’t charge any fees for our walkthrough appraisals. When you invite us to come look at your home, we provide this service free of charge. Any offer we make following this walkthrough will have no obligations and no strings attached. 

What kind of fees will I need to pay when selling my home to you?

You won’t need to pay for inspections or repairs either! We want to make sure you can keep as much of the money from the sale as possible. 

My house needs some repairs. Will you still consider it?

We are happy to look at your home and make an offer regardless of its condition! All of our offers are made on an as-is basis, which means you will not be asked to make any repairs before the sale. We frequently buy houses in need of repairs or renovations, so there is no need to worry about the condition of your home when you work with the cash home buyers at We Buy Austin Houses!

My home is in foreclosure. Can you help me?

Many people believe that they have no options left after the foreclosure process begins. However, even if your home has already been listed for sale, we may still be able to buy it. Contact us today to find out if we can help you avoid foreclosure and keep the equity in your property. 

What is your program? What do you look at before you make an offer?

The process we use to value your home is simple. To determine a fair market price for the property, we consider the property’s condition, the neighborhood, and the current real estate market in the area. We will also take your needs and goals as a home seller into account when making an offer. 

What type of homes do you buy?

We buy houses of all types! Whether your home is in move-in ready condition or needs extensive renovations, we will still make an offer. Better yet, every offer we make is for cash!
