Sell Your Home Quickly, Easily, and Hassle-Free

We don’t have to wait for a bank to get approval to close on a house. We can close as quickly as 7 business days after you accept our offer without the risk of lengthy delays.

Yes. Most companies that offer cash for houses are legit. Friendly Homebuyers is a great example of one that is. Check out one of our reviews or testimonials to see the stories of the many families we have been able to help.

No. We are the actual buyer so we don’t need to list it for someone else to find – we already found it 🙂 Sometimes it will end up on the MLS eventually. In these cases, we will purchase the home from you, then spend time and money renovating it and repairing it and finally list it with a realtor to sell. All this would happen long after you have gotten your money and moved on to the next chapter of your life.

No. When determining our offer, we will take many things in to consideration such as the current condition, the timeline, the neighborhood / location and recent sales trends. We will also carefully assess things like recent population shifts, the local crime rate and various other factors.

After calculating all of that, we will give you an offer that accurately reflects the market value of your property based on its current characteristics. We feel confident that our offer will be accurate – confident enough to put our money on it 🙂

Yes. As you can see in the example above, the offer you get through a real estate agent is not the amount you will actually receive either. Because we believe in being upfront and don’t require you to do anything, the offer will be smaller. The actual amount you would receive after all the work, costs and fees will be similar.

A traditional realtor will list (or advertise) your house on the MLS and potentially other places trying to find an interested buyer. This process normally takes a couple of months and, assuming your home is in great condition, will typically give you the highest price for your house. The realtor will then collect a fee on the proceeds and, after paying all costs, you will get whatever is left over.

We are an investor and are looking to put the house under a purchase contract ourselves. That means that we don’t need to advertise or spend time looking for a buyer because we are it. The price we agree upon is the price you get. We cover all costs and fees associated with the transaction.

We eliminate the waiting and the risk associated with a traditional real estate transaction by eliminating all the middle-men (agents, banks, etc.) and let you deal directly (and only) with us – the buyer.

None. We will look at your situation and give you an offer. There is never any obligation on your end unless you like it and sign a contract.

We can typically beat other offers that you have received. With our years of experience, we are capable of finding creative solutions to overcome any challenge.

You do not have to commit to anything until you have seen our offer and find it favorable to you and your situation.

During our first conversation with you, we normally try to find a time that we can meet you at your property.

There are a few purposes for this meeting:

• Review your goals
• Determine the value of the property
• Understand what conditions must be met to make the transaction a win from your perspective
• Establish a timeline that will work for both parties
• Explore all possible solutions with you

Many times, these things can be accomplished and an offer is presented during that visit. For that reason, we ask for all decision makers to be present.

Yes. Don’t believe that your house is worthless just because it needs major repairs. Friendly Homebuyers specializes in purchasing properties with significant repairs including:

• Fire Damage
• Water / Flooding Damage
• Mold Problems
• Meth Houses
• Roof Damages
• Foundation Problems
• Hoarder Houses
• Trashed Rentals / Bad Tenants
• Incomplete Interiors
• Vacant Properties
• Neglected Properties
• Outdated Houses that need Updates

It doesn’t matter. Regardless of the condition, we will give you a fair offer and ensure you get the maximum amount possible.

When we say that we buy houses as-is, we really mean as-is – any condition is fine. Take what you want and leave the rest! Your house will not be the worst we have seen. We have seen:

• Holes in the wall
• No floor
• Animals feces
• Food in the fridge
• Furniture left behind
• Dirt on the floor
• Clothes, papers, decorations, appliances, trash on the floor
• Vehicles that can’t drive
• Old, broken trailers
• Boarded up
• Condemned
• Holes in the roof
• No working electricity
• Weeds taller than us
• Extensive repairs needed

It doesn’t matter how bad it is – we’ll take it!

It depends.

If you are in a hurry, have a property that needs a lot of work or just would like a more streamlined process then selling to an investor can be a great option.

Selling through a realtor will typically maximize the money that you get but it comes with extra time, hassles and normally money put into the property.

One with a local presence. Ideally, one that started in the location you are looking to sell.

When you work with an investor that can come and see the property and has expertise regarding the local market, they can normally give you the best value.

For example, Matt, who started Friendly Homebuyers, grew up in Farmington and has lived along the Wasatch Front his entire life. Not only does he know how to pronounce Tooele, but he knows how to help you get the most money possible from your house.

Because of the certainty they provide.

A cash offer is an all-cash bid. This means that the homebuyer wants to purchase the property and does not need a mortgage loan or other financing. The offer is typically made without other contingencies (such as the close of another house, a professional home inspection, or required repairs).

These types of offers are normally more attractive to home sellers because there is no risk of the financing falling through or risk of a contingency preventing the closing of the property.

When an investor determines their offer price, they will have various exit strategies in mind.

Depending on the timeframe and the condition of the property, you may be surprised at how much we are able to offer.

When we walk through a house, we are considering options like keeping it as a rental, fixing it up and flipping it, and subdividing the property into multiple offers. We can do minor repairs and updates, full renovations or even tear the property down. Additionally, we can work on our own, partner with other investors, or even partner with realtors.

After considering all of these options, we can make an offer based on the one with the highest value both to us and to you.

Many times when a property looks like it needs a little love, an investor can be your best option to get the most value out of it.

Friendly Homebuyers. With our dedication to helping you get the best value for your property, our extensive expertise and all the options we have available, we are typically the best option you have.

Additionally, we don’t charge service fees (or any fees) like a lot of other investors do. Whatever the price we agree on, that is the exact amount that will land in your pocket!

Faster sales process: Because there aren’t any banks or appraisals involved, you don’t need to wait for as many steps in the process. This benefits both parties, allowing the house to close quickly and not drag out the process.

Less risk: A non-cash offer will typically include contingencies (such as the sale of another house, a favorable appraisal from the lending institution or passing a home inspection). Sometimes these items can take over a month to complete. If any of the conditions are not met, this can cause the offer to cancel (sometimes at the last minute) and get a full refund of any deposit. This is a huge risk to the seller and cause stress and anxiety throughout the entire process.

No further investment: A cash offer will normally not come with a list of repairs that need to be done in order for the transaction to close. In contrast, in a non-cash offer, the buyer, the agent, and the bank will normally all have ideas of things that “need” to be done to the property prior to it closing. With this many opinions, the seller can be left in a tough situation having to put more money into the home (money that they may not have) in order to get money out of the home! Friendly Homebuyers always provides their offers for the property exactly as it is. You don’t even have to clean it before we take possession.

No. It depends on the situation. Especially if you are selling a damaged home or need flexibility on the timeframe, a cash offer can actually be higher than your other offers.

It is important to consider the net you will receive after all commissions and fees when comparing offers to make sure that the comparison is accurate. When selling through a realtor, the costs can often come to 15% or more of the purchase prices. Eliminating all these fees can put more money in your pocket.

Investors, like Friendly Homebuyers, are more familiar with dealing with non-standard situations and can often help you maximize your profit. This is more true the more specific your situation is.

Like every business, we are in business to make money. However, that is not mutually exclusive to getting you the highest value for your property. By having efficient processes and partnering with the right people, we can perform the renovations quicker and more cost effectively than most homeowners. This efficiency allows us to give higher offers to our customers.

Local Homebuying companies, like Friendly Homebuyers, are, without question, the cheapest way to sell your house. We are also the fastest.

This is because we charge zero fees. (That’s as cheap as it gets. 🙂 ) It will literally not cost you a penny to sell your house to us.

Less risk: A non-cash offer will typically include contingencies (such as the sale of another house, a certain appraisal from the lending institution or passing a home inspection). Sometimes these items can take weeks or even months to complete. If any of the conditions are not met, this can cause the offer to cancel (sometimes at the last minute) and the (now cancelled) buyer even gets a full refund of any deposit. This is a huge risk to the you, the seller, and the uncertainties can add to your stress.

Faster sales process: Because there aren’t any banks or appraisals involved, you don’t need to wait for any third parties.

The national average is 4% – 6% of the property’s sale price.

For example, if you sell a house for $400,000 a commission could be $20,000.

Both agents (the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent) will each get their own commission. If the same agent represents both the buyer and the seller, they will get paid twice and receive both sides of the commission.

Don’t use a realtor. When you sell direct to Friendly Homebuyers, we take care of everything so there is no need for a realtor. We take care of the closing, title, recording it with county and everything else that needs to be done for the sale to be finalized.

Because you are selling directly to us, the price we offer is the price you get. We don’t subtract our any fees whatsoever.

If the property is in great condition and you have several months for the transaction to finalize and fund, listing through a real estate agent will usually get you the highest price.

To get the quickest sale possible, sell to Friendly Homebuyers. You can have your cash in as little as seven business days.

If your property hasn’t been updated recently or needs some TLC, sell to Friendly Homebuyers. We will help you maximize your profit without having to put more money into the property.
