Frequently Asked Questions About the Cash-for-Homes Process

If I enter my information, am I obligated to sell?

You are not obligated to sell your home to I Buy Houses SD. After entering your information, we will call you and set up a time to come see your property. Even after we have viewed the property and made you an offer, you are still not obligated to sell. You can back out at any time until the final paperwork is complete, and there will be no hard feelings on our part. 

What kinds of fees will I have to pay when selling my home?

When you sell your home to our company, you won’t be required to pay any fees. We don’t charge closing costs, realtor fees, or commissions. Likewise, you won’t need to pay for an appraisal or cover the cost of repairs. In addition, we will let you pick your own closing date based on what is most convenient for you. If you want to move quickly, we will schedule as soon as possible. If you need more time, we will wait.  

How is the offering price for my house determined?

Our goal is to offer you a fair price for your home. We determine the value of our cash offer based on the current housing market, the condition of your home, the location of the property, and your goals as a seller. Keep in mind that you are never under any obligation to accept the offer we make, so you have nothing to lose!

What do you do with the home after you purchase it?

It is only natural to wonder what will happen to your home after we buy it. After we purchase your home, we will work with experienced home renovation crews to make any necessary repairs and/or upgrades. Next, we will either list the property for sale or use it as a rental home. 

Can I sell my home if I am behind on the mortgage?

Even if you have fallen behind in your mortgage payments, you can still sell your home to I Buy Houses SD. We will buy your home even if the foreclosure process has already begun. With our help, you can pay what you owe and move on with your life. 

How long does it take to sell my home?

It is possible to sell your home to us in as little as two weeks, but we can extend the process if needed. When you contact our company, we will get back to you almost immediately in order to schedule a time to come see your property. After viewing your property, we will submit a cash offer within 24 hours. If you want to move quickly, we will schedule the closing as soon as possible. However, if you need more time, we can delay the closing based on your requirements. 

Do I have to move out right after selling my house?

Our goal is to help make the selling process as easy as possible for every client. We will work with you to determine closing and possession dates that won’t cause you any unnecessary stress. If you have concerns about your move-out date, simply talk to us before we have scheduled closing, and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

Can I sell my house if I live out of state?

We will buy your home in San Diego even if you are currently living outside the state. In cases where we are working with an out-of-state seller, we do our best to minimize the travel needed. We will work with you via mail, over the phone, and using other technologies to make this process as simple and easy as possible. 

What types of houses do you buy?

We buy homes of all types in the San Diego area. We are currently looking for new homes, old homes, homes in need of repair, single family homes, multi-family homes, and condos. Whatever your home’s condition or location in San Diego, we want to work with you to make a mutually beneficial agreement.
