FAQ
Have some questions about selling your house?
We know that selling a house for cash to a company like ours is a big decision. The questions below are common things we get asked about the process and Simply Sold.
No. This is where we stray from the traditional method of selling your home: There are no fees, commissions, or closing costs when you sell us your home. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house. That’s it. Once we purchase your property (usually in cash) you walk away without any further financial obligation.
No. You are in control of the process the entire time. If the offer is not up to your expectations or standards you are free to walk away without any further financial or legal obligation. We want this to be a ‘Win-Win’ scenario where we can both walk away happy. We are not here to take advantage of or pressure anyone into a deal they may not like or want.
Absolutely. We can also help you avoid foreclosure. This is very common and we deal with it often. We are more than prepared to help in whatever way we can.
Yes. Making us aware of the situation up front is important as it helps us better understand the situation and prepare different options. We have bought homes that are owner-occupied, rentals with current tenants, and homes with difficult tenants that refuse to leave. We are well versed in all of these situations and understand how to approach them where all parties benefit.
We absolutely will buy the home. Our offer will include paying off your existing mortgage so you walk away obligation free from the home.
We examine the area and view ‘comps’ (comparable properties in the area) and their value while taking into account the condition and any needed repairs. This can typically be done in a 24-hour period. The end goal is always to find a price that not only works for us but for you as well.
We don’t walk up dressed in dark suits and give you a briefcase filled with unmarked bills, but in most states, we work with attorneys who oversee the process from the time you sign the contract to the closing date. Whether it is a certified check or cash. Your attorney or title company will give you a check or wire your money to your account. It is a very common and, typically, quick and simple process.
There is NO catch. We buy homes, fix them up and sell them. This is how we make our money, and we are good at what we do. It’s really that simple.
If you need more time before closing, we understand—every situation is unique. Our process is designed to be flexible to meet your needs. Unlike traditional buyers who are locked into strict timelines, we can often adjust the closing date to fit your schedule.
Yes, absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of selling to an investor is that you don’t have to worry about cleaning, repairing, or hauling everything out. If there are items you don’t want to move—old furniture, boxes, appliances, or just general clutter—you can simply leave them behind.
No—you don’t need to clean, fix, or update anything before selling to us. We buy houses as-is, which means you can skip the stress (and expense) of deep cleaning, painting, fixing leaks, or replacing appliances.
A wholesaler, generally speaking, is someone who acts as a middleman. They’re not the buyer. They put your property under contract and then try to find another buyer. They sell the contract to that buyer for a finder’s fee.
They are not going to close on your home. In many cases, they don’t even have the money to do so. The problem is that if they can’t find an end buyer, the contract is likely to fall apart—costing you time, money, and energy.
In many cases, as a seller, you could receive a higher price by working directly with the end buyer.
Simply put, we are not a middleman. We are not wholesalers.
We buy homes directly. With those homes, we either renovate and resell them or hold them as rentals. We use our own capital to purchase properties and can provide proof of funds to demonstrate this.
We also have strong relationships with lenders, private lenders, and banks. Our goal is certainty of execution—we are not in the business of locking up your property and then trying to find a buyer.
At Simply Sold, we pride ourselves on honesty and integrity.
We don’t just give you one offer—we provide multiple options so you can choose what works best for you. We offer flexible closing timelines, with no agent commissions and no repairs required.
You’ll receive white-glove service from start to finish. Our process is straightforward and transparent, and you can check our reviews to see that for yourself.
Listing with an agent is best for move-in-ready homes, while selling directly offers a faster, simpler process with a guaranteed price and no inspections or financing contingencies.
Zillow usually shows a retail estimate, and it’s not always accurate. That number assumes the home is fully repaired, staged, and sold with agent commissions and financing involved. We buy homes as-is, in their current condition, so they’re not priced at that retail level.
Our goal is never to renegotiate. If any major issues come up—like foundation problems, sewer issues, or structural damage—we’ll communicate that clearly and provide documentation.
We don’t use bait-and-switch tactics. Our goal is to give you the highest possible offer upfront and stand by it.
We can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, though typically it’s around 30 days. If needed, we can extend to 60+ days. The timeline is entirely up to you, and we’ll work around whatever works best for you.
This is our white-glove service that helps sellers get closer to the retail price without any upfront costs for repairs or cleanout. We handle everything—showings, repairs, and negotiations. Typically, this approach allows the seller to net more money.
That’s a great question. We recommend checking out our Google reviews and our Better Business Bureau profile. We’re happy to provide proof of funds and share testimonials—both written and video—from recent home sellers. You can also visit our website to see before-and-after pictures of homes we’ve renovated.
Yes, you’ll need to sign closing documents — but we make this as convenient as possible. Closings are handled at a reputable local title company. In some cases, documents can be notarized remotely or via mobile notary if you’ve relocated. We’ll coordinate everything so closing is as smooth and easy as possible for you.
