Frequently Asked Questions
You might have some questions. That’s completely normal; many people do. Below is a short list of common questions we receive, along with our answers. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us at any time. We’re here to help!
Q: What are you going to do with my house?
A: After purchasing your house, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents put your home on the market and wait for a buyer. They show your property to interested people, if there are any (in many places, it can take 4-6 months to sell a home) and earn a commission when a sale occurs. This commission usually ranges from 3% to 6% of the sale price of your home. For a house priced at $100,000, that means you could pay anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents offer a valuable service for those who can wait more than four months to sell their home and don’t mind sharing a part of the sale price for their fees. However, we do things differently. We are not agents; we are home buyers. Our company buys your home directly from you. Because we pay with cash and purchase your property outright, we can decide to buy your house in just a few days (sometimes even on the same day). We earn our income by taking the chance to buy homes with our own cash, fix them up, and then sell them ourselves.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We often buy homes at prices lower than what you might see on the market. This allows us to invest in repairs and then sell the house to a new owner for a profit. Our goal is to find properties where we can get a reasonable price break. Many sellers like the fact that we can pay in cash, complete the sale quickly (no waiting on loans), and you won’t have to spend time or money fixing the home or paying agent fees. If you’re ready to sell your house fast and see the benefits of our offer, we can work together to find a price that works for both of us. Plus, there’s no pressure to accept our offer—you can simply see what we propose!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question. Our cash offer is based on the current condition of your house, the local market, and similar homes in the area. After evaluating your property, we’ll make you a fair offer that reflects its value and your unique situation. We always aim to offer a price that benefits both you and us, ensuring a smooth transaction for everyone.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Discover the benefits of selling your home with us – when you choose to sell your house directly to Natural State Home Buyer, you will face NO fees or commissions. This is a big difference from the usual listing fees that can take away as much as 6% of what you earn. We give you a fair offer, and if it works for you, we take care of everything without any hidden costs. We might even take care of the closing costs! Our earnings come only after we invest in needed repairs and sell the property. By selling to us, you can avoid the worries and costs that come with owning a property, leaving you with cash in your hands and a sense of relief.
Q: I got a postcard from you, how did you get my information?
A: We use publicly available property records and databases to identify homeowners who may benefit from selling their property quickly. These records are often accessible through county tax assessments, public notices, and other sources. Our goal is to reach out to homeowners who are facing challenging situations and offer a simple, fast solution for selling their homes. If you’ve received a postcard or letter from us, it means we believe we can help with your specific situation, and we’re here to provide a no-pressure, fair offer for your property.
Q: What if my house is in foreclosure or I’m behind on payments?
A: We can help! If you’re facing foreclosure or are behind on mortgage payments, selling your house to us can be a great way to avoid the stress and long process of foreclosure. We offer fast cash sales, so you can avoid the auction, reduce the impact on your credit, and move on from your property with ease.
Q: Can I sell my house if I’m going through a divorce?
A: Yes, we’ve worked with many homeowners who are going through a divorce and need to sell their property quickly. Selling to us allows you to avoid the emotional and financial stress of a lengthy sale and provides a fast, straightforward way to divide assets. We’ll work with your schedule and close when you’re ready.
Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?
A: You are under no obligation whatsoever. Once you share details about your property, we will evaluate the information, potentially schedule a call to delve deeper, and then provide you with a competitive all-cash offer. The decision to sell your house to us is entirely yours. Your choice matters, and we want you to do what’s right for you.
