Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here are some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We want to get all of your questions answered.

Q:  Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A:  Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at TC Home Offers, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Fairmont 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 buying your property, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q:  How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: 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 4-6 months) and then takes 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.

While traditional agents offer a valuable service for sellers willing to wait 4+ months and pay commissions, we take a different approach. As home buyers, we purchase your property directly from you with cash, allowing us to make a quick decision, sometimes within the same day. By shouldering the risk ourselves, we buy the house, handle any necessary repairs, and manage the marketing process to find a new buyer.

Looking for this to be broken down further? Here’s a comparison chart to give an overview:

Q:  Do we offer fair prices for properties?
A:  We specialize in acquiring properties below market value to facilitate a profitable resale to another homeowner. Our aim is to secure a reasonable discount on a property. Based on our extensive experience, many sellers do not anticipate a significant windfall from the sale. Instead, they value our ability to provide a quick, all-cash transaction with no need for financing, immediate closure, and no requirement for property repairs or agent fees. If you seek a fast property sale and appreciate these benefits, we strive to negotiate a mutually beneficial price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment ensures that you have the freedom to consider our offer without any pressure to proceed… but it’s always beneficial to understand the offer we present!

Q: How is the offer price for my house determined?
A: This is a common question, and we believe in full transparency when it comes to our process. We carefully assess factors such as the property’s location, needed repairs, current condition, and the market value of recently sold comparable properties in the area. By analyzing all these details, we arrive at a competitive price that benefits both parties involved.

Q:  What fees or commissions are involved in working with us?
A: Our unique selling proposition lies in the fact that there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us, in stark contrast to the traditional listing approach where fees can be as high as 6%. Upon making an offer and reaching an agreement, we facilitate a hassle-free purchase of your house without any additional costs. Moreover, we often cover the closing expenses. Our profit is derived from the repairs and eventual sale of the house, placing the onus of market risk on us. Once we acquire the property, all responsibilities transfer to us, allowing you to relinquish the burden of property ownership and walk away with cash in hand.

Q:  Is there any commitment required when I provide my information?
A: Absolutely not. Once you share details about your property, we will assess the information, possibly arrange a call to gather more insights, and present you with a fair all-cash offer. Subsequently, the decision to sell your house to us is entirely up to you. We empower you to choose what aligns best with your needs and preferences.
