Frequently Asked Questions
We speak to a lot of homeowners across the nation, and overtime we have collected a list of the most frequently asked questions. If you have any other questions not listed, please give us a call or send us a text: (877) 853-3400. We are happy to answer to any questions. 🙂
Q: Who is Greater Buyers?
A: Greater Buyers is more than just a “We buy houses” company. We help homeowners across the nation sell their houses fast for cash. We have hand selected local markets that we operate in so that we are able to create the best win-win solutions for homeowners like you. Visit the Our Company page to learn more about Greater Buyers.
Q: Are you just going to list my house on the market?
A: Great question. No, we do not turnaround and list houses on the market. We buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria, and our intention is to buy your house and fix it up. Only after flipping your house would we sell it on the market or hold onto it as a rental property. If we find out together that your situation is better suited for a real estate agent, we will connect you to one of the top agents in your market.
Q: Will you pay a fair amount for my house?
A: We do our best to always pay a fair amount for houses based on current market conditions. We are not here to lowball sellers. We want homeowners to feel good about our cash offer and all of the hassle free benefits that come with it, such as no hidden fees or repairs.
However, there is a difference between a fair price and “market value”. If the house is in need of updates or repairs then that value will be taken into consideration when we make our offer. We like to update our homes up to the HGTV standard and that is often times more extensive than people realize. Sometimes we are able to use “creative financing” to curate an offer that works better for both parties. Every time we make an offer we present all possible opportunities.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
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 directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then 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. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
Q: Should I be listing my house with a real estate agent?
A: Honestly, we don’t know, yet!
We would need to take a look at your house, situation, expectations and timeline to give you a realistic answer. We are always happy to provide you with our professional recommendation.
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There are no obligations when you submit your info.
We understand that you have options, so to differentiate ourselves from the other options, we make sure that you know there are no costs to you when getting your free offer. You have absolutely nothing to lose.
