Frequently Asked Questions
A: We aren’t real estate agents and don’t handle listings. Instead, we are professional home buyers at Whitecap Property Group. We focus on properties that fit our specific buying criteria. Depending on the situation, we may renovate the home and sell it to a new owner or retain it as a rental property.
A: We believe in transparency: our process is simple and clear. We evaluate the property’s location, necessary repairs, overall condition, and recent sales of similar homes in the area. By considering all these factors, we determine a fair price that benefits both you and us.
A: When you sell your house to us, there are no fees or commissions involved. We’ll provide you with an offer, and if it suits you, we’ll purchase your home—often covering the closing costs as well. There’s no hassle or extra costs on your part. We make our profit by handling any necessary repairs and reselling the property. The risk is on us; once we buy the house, we take on the responsibility, allowing you to walk away without any property-related burdens and often with cash in hand.
A: Real estate agents typically list properties and wait for a buyer, often taking 6-12 months to sell a house in many markets. They show the property to potential buyers and earn a commission, which is usually 3-6% of the sale price. For example, on a $100,000 home, this could mean paying between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions. While agents are great for those who can afford to wait and don’t mind sharing a portion of the sale price, we operate differently.
We are not agents; we are direct home buyers. We actually purchase houses ourselves, rather than listing them. By paying with cash, we can make a decision to buy your home quickly—sometimes within the same day. We handle all the risks and responsibilities, including repairs and marketing the property, so you don’t have to.
A: There’s no obligation on your part. After you provide some details about your property, we’ll review the information, possibly schedule a call to learn more, and then present you with a fair all-cash offer. From there, the choice to sell your house to us is entirely yours. We respect your decision and won’t pressure or hassle you—it’s completely up to you to decide what’s best for you.
