Selling With An Agent vs. Selling To Gene Buys Golden
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
We're not agents, and we don't list houses. Here at Gene Buys Golden, we are professional home buyers: we buy houses in Golden that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don't use bank financing so you don't have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 4-6 months, and the agent's commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price. We're not agents — we're home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day).
Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Many of the houses we purchase are below market value so we can resell at a profit. However, many sellers appreciate that we offer cash, close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you don't have to move forward with the offer we give — but it's good to know what we're offering!
How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking all of this into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We'll make you an offer and, if it's a fit, we'll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We'll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit.
Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
There is absolutely zero obligation. Once you tell us about your property, we'll take a look, maybe set up a call, and make you an all-cash offer. From there, it's 100% your decision on whether or not you'd like to sell your house to us.
