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 and our answers. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer your questions.
1. Will you be listing my house on the MLS or buying it?
A: We would like to clarify that we are not real estate agents and do not engage in property listings. At Smart Sale Homes, we specialize in purchasing homes in Texas that align with our acquisition criteria. We do not rely on bank financing, ensuring a seamless closing process for our clients. Following the purchase, we may renovate the property to resell it to another homeowner or retain it as a rental investment.
2: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents typically list properties and await potential buyers. They show these properties to interested parties, with the average time to sell often ranging from 4 to 6 months in many markets. Agents earn a commission based on the sale price, which generally falls between 3% and 6%. For a home valued at $100,000, this could result in commission fees of $3,000 to $6,000.
While agents offer valuable services for those who can afford to wait and are comfortable with commission costs, our approach differs. We are professional home buyers, not agents. Our company purchases homes directly from sellers. Because we utilize cash for transactions, we can make a buying decision within days and, in some cases, even the same day. Our business model involves taking on the risk of purchasing properties, managing renovations, and marketing them to find future buyers.

3: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We take great pride in our reputation and integrity and are committed to offering you a fair price for your property. Our process is transparent; we provide a detailed breakdown of every step so that you can understand the rationale behind our offer.
Our formula involves calculating the market value after necessary repairs and renovations, subtracting the costs of those improvements and selling expenses. We include our modest amount from the remaining balance, resulting in the cash offer we present to you for your home.
4: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We are happy to clarify our process, which is designed to be straightforward. We assess several factors, including the property’s location, necessary repairs, current condition, and the recent sales values of comparable homes in the area. Considering these various elements, we arrive at a fair price that benefits both parties.
5: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: What sets us apart from the traditional home-selling process is our commitment to a hassle-free experience: selling your house directly to us with no fees or commissions involved. Unlike listing your property, which can incur fees of up to 6%, our approach allows you to receive a straightforward offer without any associated costs.
If our offer meets your expectations, we will purchase your home with minimal complications. We often cover closing costs as well. Our revenue is generated after we invest in repairs and successful selling processes, assuming the associated risks. Once the sale is completed, the responsibility for the property transfers to us, allowing you to walk away free of burdens and with cash in hand.
6: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: You are under no obligation at any point in this process. Once you provide us with some details about your property, we will review the information and may schedule a call to gather additional insights. Following this, we will present you with a fair all-cash offer that benefits both parties. Ultimately, the decision to sell your house to us rests entirely with you, and we respect your choice in determining what is suitable for your situation.
