Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I sell my house and receive payment?
We understand that time is often a crucial factor when selling a home, especially in situations like foreclosure or financial distress. At Creative Home Ventures, we pride ourselves on our efficient and expedited process. Once you accept our cash offer, we can typically close the sale within 7 to 14 days, depending on your specific situation and any unique circumstances surrounding the property. Our goal is to make the transaction as seamless and stress-free as possible, ensuring you receive your payment promptly. We'll handle all the necessary paperwork and legalities, so you can focus on moving forward with confidence.
Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Do I need to make any repairs or clean the house before selling?
No, you do not need to make any repairs or clean the house before selling to us. We purchase properties in any condition, whether they are well-maintained or in need of significant repairs. Our process is designed to relieve you of the burden of preparing your home for sale. You won't need to spend time or money on renovations, cleaning, or staging the property. We evaluate the property as-is and make a fair cash offer based on its current condition. This approach saves you the hassle and expense of getting your house market-ready and allows for a quicker, more straightforward sale.
What costs are involved in selling my home to Creative Home Ventures?
One of the main advantages of selling your home to Creative Home Ventures is that there are no hidden fees or commissions involved. We believe in complete transparency and aim to make the process as simple and cost-effective for you as possible. When we make a cash offer, it is the amount you will receive at closing. There are no realtor commissions, no closing costs, and no surprise expenses. We cover all the necessary costs associated with the transaction, including legal fees and any other related charges. This means you get to keep the full amount offered, ensuring a financially rewarding experience.
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 6-12 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
