Common questions asked….

Questions from list above with answers:

Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

~ We are not agents so we won’t be listing your house before we buy it. We are real estate investors: We buy houses in Port Charlotte  that meet our purchasing criteria. Once we purchase your house, we repair the house and then resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?

~Many of the houses we purchase are below retail market value because we have to remodel the home to bring it to current market value. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers are just expecting a fair offer for the condition the home is in and appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

~We’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We take all those factors into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.

Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

~This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll even pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it.

How are you different from a real estate agent?

~Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).

If I enter my information, am I obligated to sell?

~Absolutely not. Our process is designed to be as stress-free for potential sellers as possible. We understand that you may not be sure about selling your house. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.

What does “as-is” mean?

~We buy your home in as-is condition…..meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, etc after we purchase your home. We’ll factor this into our offer, of course, but it saves you the money & the headache associated with getting your home ready to sell.

What does “all-cash offer” mean?

~All cash means exactly that- all cash! (either wired directly to you or you are handed a cashier’s check) Because we’re real estate investors who are purchasing your house directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of financing falling through or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive if you sell us your Austin home.

How “fast” is a “fast closing”?

~After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair cash offer win as little as 24 hours. After that, we can close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30 plus days (months) it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!

What if I don’t need a “fast closing”?

~At Stage 94 Real Estate Investments LLC, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need of arrangements , explore your future options, etc. – we can schedule the closing date that works best for you!

Will I get a low-ball offer?

~Our goal is to provide you with the most fair offer possible. Unlike other buyers or the big tech giants, we’re completely clear with how we arrive at an our offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process & happy two walk you through how it works.

Is this even legit?

~Yes- the real estate industry is rapidly changing and thousands of Americans are exploring their options the n it comes to selling their the fastest, easiest, & most transparent way. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for those who may not have the time or ability to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll work with you to assess your situation, make you a transparent all-cash offer & close on your timeline
