Q: What commission fees do you earn?

A: We will make an offer, but we will do much better, by helping you stay in the home if you so desire.

The time period in which the sale is going to close, typically depends on you as the seller, as we are always ready to make an offer on any property.

Q: Do I have to accept your offer?

A: No, you retain complete control at all times. We want this transaction to be mutually beneficial to both sides; if you feel it isn’t, you are more than able to walk away from the table, and try to sell your home through other means.

Q: Can I sell if there are people living in the home?

A: Yes, if the home is rented and occupied, we will purchase it; in fact, in many cases after purchasing, we will allow the tenants to stay in the home. If this is the case however, inform us so that we do not scare the occupants in the home. Many tenants will be surprised to see inspectors outside the home if they are living there.

Lastly, if there is legal terminology you don’t understand, try to have a legal dictionary by your side, to get you through the paperwork during the process.
