Sounds too good to be true - what is the catch?
ANSWER
People often question our business model, asking how we can provide competitive offers on homes while still making a profit. However, our approach is different from flippers or other investors who buy low and sell high. Our model is fee-based, using recent comparable home sales to create a competitive offer. If you choose to sell to us, we deduct a service fee from the sale proceeds, much like an agent’s commission in a traditional sale. We purchase hundreds of homes monthly, assisting homeowners nationwide in moving on to their next phase.
