Repairs & Renovations

Before selling your home, there could be many repairs and renovations that need to be done for the purchaser’s lender to approve their loan. These repairs are usually done at the expense of the current homeowner. When you sell your home with Joe Homebuyer, we provide you with a cash offer with no contingencies of repairs. We buy houses in any condition or situation!

Real Estate Agent’s Commission

When listing your home with an MLS agent, a comission fee typically comes out of your pocket. Many of these agents collect up to 6% commission. With Joe Homebuyer, we take care of our agents’ commission so you don’t have to!

Inspections

Inspections are very costly and oftentimes reveal problems that can affect the purchase and overall value of a property. Before approving a loan, many lenders require homes to be inspected and free of major concerns. We purchase homes in a variety of conditions and circumstances, including but not limited to:

  • Foreclosure
  • Tax Delinquency
  • Code Violations
  • Problem Tenants
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Costly Repairs

Closing Costs

Closing costs are often another forgotten cost that can directly affect your profits from selling and even increase your moving costs. Closing costs can either be paid by the purchaser or the seller, dependent on your agreement. With Joe Homebuyer, there are no hidden costs and you don’t have to wait for a closing date! We work with your schedule and even help out with moving costs.
