Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
We are offering to buy your house directly, not list it on the MLS or market it to find another buyer.
If Pinellas Cash Buyers makes you an offer and you accept it, we enter into a purchase agreement to buy the property. You do not need to hire us as your real estate agent or list the property with us.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Our cash offers are based on the property’s location, condition, local market value, repairs or improvements that may be needed, and the costs involved in purchasing and reselling the property.
A direct cash offer may be lower than the price you could potentially receive from a retail buyer after listing your house on the market. The difference is that you’re selling as-is without making repairs, preparing for showings, waiting for buyer financing, or going through a traditional listing process.
We’ll explain our offer so you can decide whether the price and convenience of a direct sale make sense for your situation. There’s no obligation to accept.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
We evaluate several factors, including your property’s location, current condition, recent comparable home sales in the area, and any repairs or improvements the property may need.
We also consider the costs associated with buying, holding, repairing, and eventually reselling the property. After evaluating those factors, we’ll determine the cash price we’re willing to offer for your house.
There’s no charge to receive an offer and no obligation to accept it.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
There is no fee to request or receive a cash offer from Pinellas Cash Buyers, and there’s no obligation to accept it.
If you sell your house directly to us, you are not listing the property with us, so you do not pay us a Realtor commission. We also pay the seller’s customary closing costs.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A real estate agent typically represents a homeowner in marketing the property to potential buyers. The home may be listed on the MLS, shown to prospective buyers, and ultimately sold when an acceptable buyer and offer are found.
Pinellas Cash Buyers takes a different approach. We are the buyer. When we make a direct cash offer, we’re offering to purchase the property ourselves rather than list it for sale.
Selling directly to us means no public showings or open houses, no repairs required, no lender appraisal, and no buyer financing contingency. You also choose the closing date that works for your situation.
For some homeowners, listing with an agent may be the better choice. For others, the simplicity and certainty of a direct cash sale may be more important.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
No. There is no obligation to sell your house to Pinellas Cash Buyers.
We’ll review the information you provide, evaluate the property, and determine whether we can make you a cash offer. You can review the price and terms and decide whether selling directly to us is right for youDo I need to make repairs before selling my house?
No. Pinellas Cash Buyers purchases houses as-is, so you don’t need to make repairs, renovate, update, or prepare the property for sale. We’ll evaluate the house in its current condition and make our offer based on the property as it sits today.
Q: How quickly can Pinellas Cash Buyers close?
The closing timeline depends on the property and title being ready to close. If you need to sell quickly, we can work toward a fast closing. If you need more time, that’s fine too.
Our goal is to work with your timeline rather than forcing you into ours.
Q: Can I choose my closing date?
Yes. One of the advantages of selling directly to Pinellas Cash Buyers is having flexibility over your closing date.
Once the property is ready to close, you can choose a date that works for your situation. Whether you want to close quickly or need additional time to move, we’ll work with you on the timing.
Q: Do I need an appraisal to sell my house to you?
No lender appraisal is required when Pinellas Cash Buyers purchases your house directly for cash. Our purchase isn’t dependent on a mortgage lender approving the property value or the buyer obtaining financing.
We evaluate the property ourselves when determining the cash price we’re willing to offer.
