Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us and our answers. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer your questions.

1:  Will my property be listed on the MLS, or will you purchase it directly?
A:  We are not real estate agents, so we do not list properties. Instead, we are professional home buyers in . We purchase homes that meet our criteria and do not rely on bank financing, ensuring a smooth and reliable closing process. After acquiring a property, we may choose to renovate it and resell it or retain it as a rental investment.

2:  How are you different from an agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties to find a buyer. They show the property to potential buyers, which can take 4-6 months in many markets. If a buyer is found, the agent typically earns a commission ranging from 3% to 6% of the sale price. For example, on a $100,000 property, you could pay between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions.

Real estate agents offer valuable services for those who can afford to wait 4+ months to sell and are willing to pay a portion of the sale price as commission. However, we operate differently. We are not agents; we are direct home buyers. Our company purchases your house directly, offering an all-cash transaction. This allows us to make a decision to buy your home within a few days, sometimes even on the same day. We assume the risk by using our own funds to buy, repair, and market the property ourselves.

My team at Genuine House Buyers and I provide transparent feedback on your property and offer guidance if our solution does not align with your best interests. You are not obligated to engage our services if you determine they do not meet your needs, and we do not purchase every property from interested sellers. Please visit our “About Us” page for further information about our company. We take pride in our commitment to integrity, effective communication, and extensive industry experience.

3:  Do you offer fair prices for properties?
A:  Many properties we purchase are acquired below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit. We seek a fair discount on the property in return for the benefits we offer. In our experience, many sellers value our convenience—cash offers, quick closings without financing, and no required repairs or agent fees. If you’re looking for a fast and hassle-free sale and see the value in these benefits, we can work together to reach a mutually beneficial price. Our pricing commitment is not obligated, so you can explore our offer without any pressure to proceed.

4:  How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A:  We believe in transparency, and our process is straightforward. We assess the property’s location, required repairs, current condition, and the recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, we determine a fair price that meets both our needs and yours.

5: Are there any fees or commissions associated with working with you?
A: What sets us apart from the traditional selling process is that there are no fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us, unlike listing fees that can amount to up to 6% of the sale price. We provide a straightforward offer, and if it meets your needs, we will purchase your property without any hassles or fees. Additionally, we often cover closing costs. Our profit is realized after we handle any necessary repairs and sell the property. We assume the risk associated with selling the house, and once the purchase is complete, you benefit from a hassle-free transaction and immediate cash in hand.

By choosing our services, you can avoid the expenses and inconvenience of multiple walkthroughs, open houses, numerous inspections, and prolonged listings with a real estate agent. For more information on securing an all-cash, as-is transaction, please visit our “How It Works” page. If you have any additional questions, feel free to call or text us at (401) 313-5099. If we determine that purchasing your property is not the optimal solution, we remain committed to assisting you in finding the best way to sell it.

6:  Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is no obligation on your part. Once you provide some details about your property, we will review the information and may schedule a call to gather further details. We will then present you with a fair all-cash offer. Ultimately, the decision to sell your house to us is entirely yours. We respect your choice and support you in making the best decision.
