Frequently Asked Questions
You probably have a few questions about who we are and our process. That’s okay! Most people do. Here is a collection of some of the questions people have asked us over the years, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call). We love to chat!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We are not real estate agents; we are professional home buyers that buy houses in Milwaukee and surrounding areas that meet our purchasing criteria. Once we purchase a house, we will repair and upgrade the house to resell it to another homeowner.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: In most cases, we purchase houses below market value so we can resell them at a profit to another homeowner. Because we are paying cash for a house and not requiring any repairs or upgrades, we are looking to get a fair discount on the property. Most sellers that prefer a quick cash sale aren’t necessarily expecting a “windfall” when they sell their property. Instead, they appreciate that we offer cash, we close very quickly with no waiting for financing, and repairs and upgrades are not required on your part to fix up the property.
If that’s what you’re looking for, contact us today, and let’s see if we can come to a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our cash offer is absolutely obligation-free, which means that you won’t have to move forward with the offer if it’s not for you… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question! Our process is straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We use this information to come up with a fair price that we hope is a win-win for both parties.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes us stand out from a traditional real estate agent. We charge NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. What we offer is what you get (minus any mortgage encumbrances, etc). We often pay your closing costs, too! Our profit comes after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties without a guarantee that the house will sell on time and at the amount listed. An agent shows the properties to prospective buyers and takes a percentage of the sale price once they find a buyer. Most Milwaukee agents’ commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price. If your house sells for $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Real estate agents provide a great service for those that can wait months to sell at a higher price and who don’t mind paying their hefty commission. But that’s where professional cash home buyers are different. Since we’re buying the house directly from you for cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). We make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation! Tell us a bit about your property and we’ll take a look at things, set up a phone call to discuss your situation, and (for homes that meet our buying criteria) make you a fair cash offer. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us.
