Question 1

Are cash buyers legit or should I be worried about scams?

Accepted Answer

Most companies that buy houses for cash are legitimate. However, many of them just care about making a buck instead of actually serving people. Here are some things to look out for to make sure the company you work with is honest and reliable: Does the house buyer have a professional website with real reviews and case studies? Do they have a local, physical location you can visit? Do they communicate promptly? Do they speak to you like a real person and not try to manipulate you with sales tactics and fake deadlines? Did they visit your property before making an offer?

Question 2

Do I have to pay closing costs or hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

Reputable cash buyers typically disclose fees up front, but practices vary. Ask for a breakdown — some companies cover closing costs, some split them, and some roll fees into the offer price. There are no fees when selling to Snap Sell Homebuyers, and we pay for all of the closing costs charged by the title company and the county. You will only need to cover prorated property taxes, and any liens that are on the property such as mortgage liens, delinquent tax liens, IRS liens, or mechanic liens.

Accepted Answer

Yes. We help a lot of families in foreclosure and can move quickly to stop the process.

Question 7

Do I need to make any repairs before selling my house to you?

Question 10

How do you come up with the price you offer for my house?

Our process is simple and transparent. We look at things like the location, the condition of the property, any repairs needed, and what similar fixed-up homes nearby have sold for. Taking all that into account, we come up with a fair price based on the fixed-up value, repairs, and some profit for us.

We'll find comparable property sales in your area and give you an offer right over the phone thats based on the market value and repairs needed. From there it's all up to you. No hard sales pitch and we won't hassle or harass you.
