Frequently Asked Questions

Have a few questions?  Most people do.  So, here’s a quick collection of some of the common questions we get… with our answers next to them. If you still have a question don’t hesitate to shoot us an email through our contact page (or give us a call).

Q:  Are you actually listing my house on the MLS or buying it?
A:  Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses.  We buy Estate and other homes in Detroit that fit our buying criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q:  Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A:  At Sell Inherited House Detroit, we understand that when you’re facing foreclosure, you may not have much equity left in your property. That’s why we offer a fast, no-hassle, all-cash offer and can often negotiate with the lender for a discount on the property. While we do need to purchase below market value to ensure we can make a reasonable profit when reselling, our priority is helping you avoid the long, stressful process of foreclosure. We’re flexible on terms and will buy your house in any condition. If you’re looking for a quick sale and want to avoid the complications of listing, let’s talk and see if we can come to a fair, win-win price for your property.

Q:  How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A:  We’re glad you asked! Our process is straightforward and transparent. We consider several factors when determining our offer:

1. Location – The neighborhood, proximity to amenities, and overall demand in your area.
2. Condition – What repairs are needed, the overall upkeep of the home, and any major issues like the roof, foundation, or plumbing.
3. Comparable Sales – We look at recent sales in the area to understand the current market value.

While it’s true that property values have fluctuated over the past few years, we take all of these elements into account to come up with a fair price that works for both us and you. Our goal is to provide a quick and hassle-free sale while ensuring you get a fair deal!

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A:  That’s right—when you work with us, there are absolutely no fees or commissions to pay. We make the process simple and stress-free for you. Here’s how it works:

1. We make you an offer based on the condition of your home and the current market.
2. If the offer works for you, we proceed with the purchase quickly.
3. We cover closing costs in many cases, meaning more cash in your pocket.
4. You walk away without the burden of repairs, ongoing mortgage payments, or dealing with showings and listings.

Once we buy the house, we take on all the risk. We’ll pay for repairs if necessary, handle marketing, and sell the house for a profit. It’s all our responsibility after the sale. You simply walk away, often with cash in hand and peace of mind, knowing the house is no longer your problem.

Q:  How are you different from a real estate agent?
A:  Exactly! The difference between working with a real estate agent and a direct buyer like us is huge.

With real estate agents:

• They list the property and hope for the best, which can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months in some markets.
• You’ll be on the hook for commissions (typically 3-6% of the sales price). So on a $100,000 house, you’re looking at paying $3,000 to $6,000 just for the agent’s fee.
• You also have to deal with the uncertainty of whether the buyer can secure financing and the hassle of showings, repairs, and open houses.

With us, a direct buyer:

• We buy your house with cash, no waiting around for a buyer to get financing.
• We make decisions quickly. In some cases, we can make an offer the same day you contact us.
• There are no commissions or fees—you get to keep all the money we offer you.
• We take on the risk of buying the house, paying for repairs, and marketing it ourselves.

Basically, we make the process fast, simple, and hassle-free, with no hidden costs or long waiting periods. If you need to sell your house fast, we’re the solution!

Q:  Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A:  Absolutely! There’s no obligation whatsoever. Here’s how our process works:

1. Tell us about your property – just give us some basic details about your house.
2. We’ll evaluate it – we’ll look at the condition, location, and recent sales in the area.
3. We’ll make an offer – we’ll give you a fair, all-cash offer based on the property’s value.
4. You decide – it’s completely up to you whether or not to accept the offer. We won’t pressure you, harass you, or try to convince you.

Our goal is to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. You decide what works best for you, and if it’s a fit, we’ll move forward—if not, that’s perfectly okay! It’s 100% in your hands.
