Frequently Asked Questions
You might have some questions about what we do. To assist you, we’ve compiled a selection of frequently asked questions along with our answers.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We don’t list houses, we are not agents. At Blad Boys Buy Homes, we’re home buyers. We purchase houses in Ohio that fit our buying criteria, and since we don’t rely on bank financing, you can rest assured we have the ability to close quickly. After we buy a property, we might renovate it and sell it to a new homeowner or keep it as a rental investment.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we buy are below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit to another homeowner. We look for a fair discount on properties. From our experience, most sellers value more a cash offer and our fast process than hoping for a jackpot. There is no need for repairs or agent fees when you work with us, meaning there is no effort or expenses on your part. If this aligns with what you’re seeking and you appreciate the ease of selling your house quickly, we’d love to work with you to find a win-win price.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: For this question, let us show you a table with the differences:
Selling w/ an Agent | SOLD To Blad Boys Buy Homes | |
---|---|---|
Commissions / Fees: | Up to 6%, paid by you, the seller | None |
Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs. |
Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Yes, sales can fall through. | None needed |
Appraisal Needed: | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days | We provide immediate cash offers. |
Number of Showings: | It Depends | 1 (Just Us) |
Closing Date: | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
Put into words, Real estate agents list properties and wait for a buyer to come along. They show the property to interested prospects (if any), which can take an average of 4-6 months in many markets. Once the property sells, the agent earns a commission, usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price.
That’s where we’re different. We’re not real estate agents—we’re professional home buyers. Our company buys houses directly from homeowners like you. Since we use our own funds and purchase the property directly, we can decide to buy your house on the same day. We make our living by taking on the risk of purchasing homes with our own cash, handling any necessary repairs, and marketing the property ourselves to find a new buyer.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Here’s what sets us apart from the traditional way of selling your home: when you sell directly to us, there are absolutely NO fees or commissions. Selling to us means more money stays in your pocket. We’ll make you a no-obligation offer, and if it works for you, we’ll buy your house with zero hassle or fees. In many cases, we’ll even cover the closing costs! Our profit comes after we invest in repairing the home and selling it, so we take on the risk of whether or not it sells for a profit.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: It’s very simple. We evaluate factors such as the property’s location, the repairs needed, its current condition, and the recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area. By considering all these details, we calculate a fair offer that works both for you and for us.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There’s no obligation whatsoever. Once you share some details about your property, we’ll review the information, possibly arrange a quick call to learn more, and present you with a fair all-cash offer. From there, the decision is entirely yours, you’re free to choose whether selling to us is the right move for you. With our no-obligation pricing commitment, there’s no obligation to move forward with our offer, but it’s always helpful to see what we can provide!
