Do You Have Questions? We can help! Below are the most frequently asked questions & answers to those questions. Don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call) anytime! We would love to talk with you about our process to help you sell your home, no matter what your financial situation or the property’s condition.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We do things differently here. We are not only investors or real estate agents. We are actually both! Our focus at Barefoot House Buyers is to help you sell your house with a method that will work best for your unique goals. If speed and convenience are what you’re looking for, we can buy your house in as little as ten days for cash. If you have time and are looking for retail pricing, we can list your house on the local MLS and help you sell your house with our industry-leading marketing strategy.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are at a below-market value. We do this so that we can then resell them at a profit to another homeowner in the future. Therefore, when we buy directly from a homeowner for cash, we are looking to get a reasonable discount on the property. For us to continue helping homeowners out of difficult situations, we also need to be profitable to support our business and family. From our experience, sellers who are looking for a faster and simpler way to sell aren’t necessarily expecting full profit on the property. They prefer the option of a cash offer, closing on their timeline, not dealing with agent fees or commissions, and not needing to do any property repairs. If you see value in selling your house fast, we’ll work to provide an offer that’s a win-win. There’s no obligation to our cash offer, so you do not have to move forward if you choose not to… but it doesn’t hurt to find out what we can offer you!
DOWNLOAD our free guide that walks you through the Pros and Cons (plus the cost and timeline) of selling your house to a real estate investor. Our guide also details the various pros, cons, and costs of the other two alternatives – listing with an agent or selling it yourself.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Using this information, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: If you decide to choose our Cash Offer Program, it comes with zero fees or commissions. With Barefoot House Buyers, what you see is what you get! When utilizing our listing services, our fees are similar to other area real estate agents.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: This is an excellent question. We realized that many house sellers in Houston didn’t have enough options for selling their houses. They felt underserved by both real estate investors and agents. We decided to help fill the gap and offer more options.
Typically when a real estate agent lists a house for sale, that home needs to be “ready to sell.” This can involve paying for costly repairs, dealing with open houses and showings, and paying holding costs for months while waiting on offers. You could even have buyers back out at the last minute, which can prove very stressful. On the other hand, a lot of investors will make cash offers based solely on their formulas, but we think that far too often these lowball offers simply don’t work for a lot of people. We are committed to making sure our offers are fair and a win-win for both of us.
If you’d like a quick and easy sale, consider working with us in our Cash Offer Program. You will lose a bit in equity, but you can be free from your house before you know it and have cash in your hands!
If selling for as much money as possible is more to your liking and have time to wait on offers, excellent. We will list your house on the MLS & work hard to find you a great buyer.
Basically, we are different since we don’t limit you to just one selling option. We believe in offering our clients multiple great choices for the sale of their house.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: Our cash offers come with no strings attached. Once you tell us about your property, we’ll take a look and set up a call with you. If your home fits our qualifications, we can make you an all-cash offer fast. From there, it’s 100% your decision if you’d like to sell your house to us. We want you to decide what’s right for you.
