Real Estate Agent/Realtor: Real estate agents list properties on the market. An agent can’t guarantee a closing date because some of the buyers that will be looking at your house during showings are using bank financing, which means there are inspections, appraisals and uncertainties. The process usually takes a minimum of 30 days when finding a traditional buyer on the MLS.
A traditional buyer who finds your house on the MLS may ask you to make repairs before closing or ask for “seller concessions” for money toward closing costs, repairs, etc.
Real estate agents exchange representation for commission, meaning you have to pay to sell your home with a realtor. We are not representing you, but instead buying the property directly from you. There are no fees whatsoever, nor are there any financing contingencies, which are common when listing and can delay the process or even cancel the closing when selling to a traditional buyer.

Q: How do you determine the price for my house?
A: Great question: Our process is very straightforward.
We simply evaluate the location & similar comps of the property, the actual condition the house is in and what repairs or upgrades may be needed, values of comparable houses recently sold in the neighborhood, and also look at the market conditions.
Below, you’ll learn additional information about how we come up with the fair market price of a home:
What determines the fair market value for a house?
- The Location & Similar Comps or Properties – The exact location of the house you’re selling and the neighborhood where it is located will define, in part, its sale price. It is very important to analyze similar properties or comparables (comps) recently sold in the same area that have similar conditions, characteristics and specifications, such as square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, floors, pool, garage, lot size, etc.
- The Condition of the House (property) – The as-is condition of the house is something that should always be considered when selling a house. The amount of repairs or renovation the property needs for you to modernize the home is very important and must be taken into account when determining the fair market value of a house. Will you prepare the house to sell as-is, give it a rent ready or basic remodel and just do some TLC or cosmetic touches to the house, or do you want the maximum value by upgrading everything (full home renovation) with a more luxury feel? A entirely new and upgraded house that enhances the interior and curb appeal will provide you with the maximum After Repair Value (ARV). Keep in mind, neutral colors and upgrades is also crucial when updating a house.
- Real Estate Market Conditions – It is the condition of the real estate market based on supply and demand. A few other important factors that determine the fair market value of a house: is the economy, demographics, interest rates, government policies, season, inflation, taxes, etc.”
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information to receive an offer for my home?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation to you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to ask a few more questions regarding your goals and situation, so we can make you a Gr8 all-cash offer. 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… you decide if we’re right for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses (if you prefer, we can refer you to a reputable agent). We are professional home buyers: We buy property in Las Vegas that meets our purchasing criteria. We plan to repair the house and/or resell it to another home owner, or possibly keep it as a rental ourselves. Selling your house to us will save you time, and can save you money.
Q: Can you still buy my house, if I owe money on it and have a mortgage?
A: Yes, as long as the purchase price of the property exceeds the total amount of what’s owed on it (mortgage, liens, taxes, etc). You have the freedom to sell when you’re ready!
Q: How long is an appointment and Estimator walk-through?
A: An in-person appointment can range between 15-minutes to an hour, but we are flexible around your schedule. You can also send us pictures or videos of the house. If it’s just to get an estimate, it usually takes about 10-20 minutes.
Q: How does the escrow/closing process work?
1. Once we have come to an agreement on price. We will open escrow, and start our due-diligence. This means we will arrange a convenient time for an Acquisitons Specialist and one of our Estimators to walk-through the property to verify the initial repair bid. It helps ensure a more seamless process.
2. We wait for the Title Company to do a title search and convey clear title.
3. The Title Company will make arrangements with you to sign any closing docs.
4. We will close on or before the scheduled closing date of your choice.
Q: How much time do I have to move out from my house?
A: Respectfully, as much time as you need. We are very flexible, and have various programs that can be tailored to your situation. Fore example, the most common is a 30-day leaseback (rent-back/hold-back), it basically allows you to get paid before you move! (Like, a free cash advance!) If you would like to learn more about it, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We can close within 10-days or 10-months! It’s totally, your decision when working with us.
Q: Do you only buy houses in Las Vegas?
A: No. We buy properties in all the surrounding areas, and even other markets across the country! We will make a cash offer on any property in the United States.
Q: Do you buy land as well?
A: Absolutely! We buy various types of real property: houses, townhomes, condos, different types of land, and even mobile homes. We are actively buying residential and commercial and are willing to make a cash offer on anything else!
Q: Can you buy my house if it is in really bad condition and needs a lot of repairs?
A: If you want to sell a house or any other real estate, we can buy it! We can buy houses that are fire-damaged, condemned, hoarder, structural issues, code violations, anything with expensive repairs, etc. We will buy any type of house that is in any condition. No cleaning or repairs are required.
Q: Do you buy houses that are in move-in condition?
A: Yes, indeed. We are able to buy any property at competitive prices. It can be a house that is falling apart and torn down, or a house that is rent-ready. We can be purchase different types of homes in any condition.
Q: How fast can you buy my house, and how do I get paid?
A: We can close within a week or extend out to a date of your preference that’s convenient for you. Sell your house to Gr8housebuyers® and get the flexibility you deserve.
All funds are disbursed (wired) the following business day after closing escrow (the property records at the County Accessor’s Office), usually by a closing attorney or a Title Company.
Q: What is “Escrow”?
A: Is the legal arrangement where a neutral unbiased third-party (Title Company or Attorney) holds the proceeds and/or funds, documents, and other special assets for a real estate transaction in escrow between Gr8housebuyers® and the homeowner selling the property until the process of the financial real estate transaction has been completed.
We open escrow when you’re ready to sell and have approved a purchase agreement with us.
It protects the Seller and the Buyer and ensures that all terms and conditions in the purchase agreement are met and fulfilled by all parties. It is also where the Earnest Deposit for the property and Security Deposit for leasebacks are held.
Q: Will you buy a house with tenants?
A: Most definitely! We are willing to buy a house with tenants, and even if there is no lease, we are always interested in evaluating the situation and making you a fair offer.
Q: Do I have to clean or repair my house before I sell it?
A: You do not have to clean nor repair anything. You can leave anything unwanted wherever you like, and we will clean it up for you after we have purchased the property.
Q: What do you do with the information when I submit a form?
A: It’s simply used for contact information purposes, and to know which property you want us to make an offer on. We truly prioritize and value your privacy.
