We’ve got answers.
We are in the business of buying your house in a way that works best for you. We purchase thousands of homes each year with cash to get our clients back on track toward their goals. With multiple office locations and a team of fully licensed professionals, we’re well-equipped to help.
-
How are you different from other home buying companies?
We buy direct. We do not do “and or assigns” contracts, a tactic used by other companies to allow them to pass along their purchase rights to whomever they’d like, including passing it along to someone else for profit while never actually buying the property themselves. Our agents represent our affiliated holding companies, who buy the property directly. The agent working with you at the start is the same face you’ll see at the closing table and is responsible for every aspect of your transaction.
-
You just said you buy direct, but you mention affiliated holding companies. Why?
BeHomefree is a brand. The holding companies are affiliated with this brand and actually conduct transactions and take responsibility for the house (for tax purposes). As a standard industry practice for operating in multiple states, each location operates under a holding company.
-
Who usually sells their house to BeHomefree? Can I expect market value for my house?
All kinds of people in all kinds of situations. And yes, you can expect market value based on of the condition of your home.
-
How will BeHomefree determine a cash price for my home?
We compare the market value and take into consideration any repairs needed to get the home to that market value.
-
What kind of houses do you buy?
We purchase properties of all shapes, sizes, conditions and values. Although we specialize in single family residences, we are also interested in purchasing duplexes, apartments, condos, mobile homes and even vacant lots. On occasion, we will also purchase commercial real estate.
-
How fast can you close on my house? And when do I receive the cash?
We work with you to schedule a closing that best fits your situation. We are able to close in as quickly as 72 hours, if necessary. Your cash payment is received once title is clear.
-
What fees do you charge?
We do not charge anything to the seller, ever. The entire process is entirely free.
-
Can I still sell my house to BeHomefree if I am working with a realtor?
Yes. We will work with your realtor to purchase your house. Please keep in mind that any and all costs and fees negotiated between you and your realtor will need to be paid to your realtor at the closing.
-
Am I obligated to sell you my house if I fill out the online form?
No. Upon contacting us, we will provide you with a fair cash offer for your property with absolutely no obligation for you to sell.
-
Do you pay for referrals?
Yes. Referrals are fully appreciated, and we will pay a referral fee for any property that we buy from your referral. Please contact your local office for details.
-
How long do I have to decide once you make an offer on my house?
There is no time frame, assuming the conditon of your property remains the same. We can move as quickly as you need or give you as much time as you need.
-
I have a mortgage. Will you pay it off?
Yes. We close all of our properties at the local title company so everything is paid off and transferred over properly.
-
My house needs extensive repairs. Does that mean you won’t buy it?
No repairs necessary! This is what we specialize in – getting you the highest offer, as-is.
-
Can you help me if I have a lien on my property?
Yes. We will work first to resolve the issue and then will be able to purchase your property from you.
-
I’m a landlord with an occupied property. Do I need to evict my tenants before you buy my house?
Most often, you will not need to evict your tenants and we will purchase the property occupied. However, this is on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our office to determine the best solution for your property.
-
I’m a landlord in the process of evicting a tenant or I have tenant troubles. Will you still buy my house?
Absolutely. And in some situations, we can even assist you with that process.
-
What if I owe more than my house is worth?
We can help get you with a local specialist to get that resolved (i.e. short sale specialist, listing, other strategies).
-
If I decide to accept your offer, how long before I get the money for the house?
Your cash payment is received as soon as title is clear, generally within 48 hours of closing. We can typically close as quickly as you need or give you as much time as you need, always pending the title to the property is free and clear (no outstanding liens or encumbrances).
-
Will you list my house for me?
No. We are not in the business of listing houses for sale. We specialize in purchasing properties in a fast, easy and friendly way so you can get back to what matters to you most.
-
What if my house has health code violations or is condemned?
No problem. We purchase any and all properties, regardless of condition.
-
Can you help me if I am behind in my payments?
Yes. We’ll offer you a fair cash offer.
-
What if my house is in foreclosure?
No problem. We are able to purchase your house with cash, even if it is in foreclosure.
