Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Most people do. Here’s a collection of commonly asked questions with our answers from our years of experience working with people just like you. If you need more, don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.

Q:  Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A:  We are professional home buyers. We buy houses in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, Alameda Counties, California that meet our purchasing criteria. After acquiring the property from you, we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental.

Q:  Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A:  Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner). We seek to get a fair discount on properties. In our experience, many sellers aren’t expecting a large “windfall” on the property and appreciate the security of a cash offer and close quickly (no waiting for financing). No time, effort or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees.  If you see value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can agree on a win-win price. Our no-obligation price commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer. It costs nothing to know what we’re offering!

Q:  How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A:  Our process in transparent and straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition and values of comparable houses sold in the area. We consider all the pieces of information and come up with a fair price based on our local knowledge, experience and research.

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: 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 Trade-In Real Estate. We’ll make you an offer and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we take the risk whether we sell for a profit or not).

Q:  How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers (which can take months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. The agent’s commission is 5-6% of the sale price of your house (so for a $500,000 house, you’ll pay between $25,000 – $35,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 3-6 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for commissions. That’s where we’re different. Our company buys houses; we don’t them. As we pay you cash for your home, we can make a decision to buy within a couple days (sometimes the same day). We make our living buying houses, repairing them and then marketing the renovated house to new buyers.

Q:  Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is no obligation. Once you tell us about your property we’ll review the information, set up an appointment (if needed), and make you a fair all-cash offer. It’s 100% under your control on whether you decide to sell your house to us. We have a no pressure philosophy and won’t hassle or harass you after making you an offer. It’s 100% your decision.
