You may 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 them.
Q: Will you list my house on the MLS or buy it?
A: That’s a great question. We are not real estate agents, and we do not list properties on the MLS. At Home Value Benefits LLC., we are professional home buyers. We buy houses in Forked River that fit our specific criteria. We do not rely on traditional bank financing, so you can have confidence in our ability to close quickly on a purchase. Depending on the property, we may renovate it for resale or add it to our rental portfolio. Rest assured, we have the financial capability to purchase properties directly, ensuring a smooth and reliable transaction for you.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope 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. Often, the agent’s commission is 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay an agent around $6,000 in commissions.
Agents provide a great service for those who don’t mind prepping the home to be listed on the MLS, can wait 4+ months to sell, and don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the home repairs, seller concessions, closing costs, real estate transfer taxes, and commissions. That’s where we’re different. We’re not agents; we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). This means you can sell your house quickly and move on with your life, without the stress of a prolonged selling process.

Q: Do you offer fair prices for properties?
A: We specialize in purchasing houses below market value in Forked River. By doing so, we can sell them for a profit to another homeowner. We aim to provide a fair discount on a property. From our experience, many sellers are not necessarily looking for a significant profit but value the convenience of a quick cash sale without the need to wait for financing, undertake repairs, deal with buy-backs, title or deed issues at closing, or huge agent fees. If you are seeking a fast sale and appreciate the benefits we offer, let’s work together to reach a mutually beneficial price. Our no-obligation pricing commitment ensures that you have the freedom to consider our offer without any pressure to proceed.

Q: How is the offer price for my house determined?
A: Determining the offer price for your house involves a comprehensive analysis. We assess factors such as the property’s location, needed repairs, current condition, and the value of recently sold comparable houses in the area. By carefully evaluating all these aspects, we arrive at a fair price that benefits both parties involved.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: NO!! This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us compared to listing fees, where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, schedule a physical or virtual (photos you can send us) tour of the property, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
