Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
1. Will you be listing my property on the MLS, or are you purchasing it directly?
A: At Reliable Cash Buyers, we operate as professional home buyers, not as real estate agents or listing services. We purchase homes in Tennessee that meet our specific criteria, and because we do not rely on bank financing, you can be assured of our ability to close the deal promptly. Once we acquire a property, we may renovate and resell it or retain it as a rental asset.
2: How are you different from an agent?
A: Real estate agents typically list properties to find a buyer. They facilitate showings to potential buyers, although the process can often take several months, with average selling times ranging from 4 to 6 months in many markets. Upon securing a buyer, agents typically earn a commission, which is generally between 3% to 6% of the sale price. For a $100,000 property, this would result in a commission of $3,000 to $6,000.”
Real estate agents offer valuable services for those who can wait several months to sell and are comfortable with the commission fees that reduce the final sale price. However, our approach is different. We are not agents; we are direct home buyers. Our company purchases your property directly, with all-cash offers, allowing us to make a buying decision within just a few days—sometimes even the same day. We assume the risk by using our capital to purchase, repair, and market the property ourselves.
3: Do you offer fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the properties we acquire are purchased below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit to another homeowner. Our goal is to secure a fair discount on the property. From our experience, many sellers value the convenience we offer—cash payments, rapid closing without financing delays, and no need for you to invest time, effort, or money into repairs or agent fees. If your priority is a swift and hassle-free sale, we would be pleased to explore a mutually beneficial price. Our pricing offer comes with no obligation, providing you the flexibility to consider our proposal without any commitment.
Q: How do you determine the offer price for my property?
A: We believe in transparency, and our process is simple. We assess the property based on its location, the necessary repairs, current condition, and the recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area. Considering all these factors, we determine a fair price that meets our needs and yours.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions associated with working with you?
A: What sets us apart from the traditional method of selling your home is that there are no fees or commissions when you sell directly to us, unlike the typical listing fees that can take up to 6% of your sale price. We provide you with an offer, and if it aligns with your expectations, we proceed with the purchase—without any hassle or fees. In many cases, we also cover the closing costs. Our profit comes after we invest in repairs and successfully sell the property. We assume the risks of reselling, allowing you to walk away with cash in hand, free from the property’s responsibilities and financial obligations.
Q: Is there any obligation associated with submitting my information?
A: There is no obligation on your part. After you provide us with some information about your property, we will review the details, potentially arrange a call to gather more information, and then present you with a fair all-cash offer. The decision to sell your home to us is entirely yours, and we respect your choice to determine what is best for you.
