Q: What makes you different, special, better, unique?\u00a0 Why Sell to Mako?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Ease, Honesty, and Net $$$ in your pocket.<\/strong>\u00a0 The person who looks at your home will make an offer that day in most all instances. He or she has the authority to “ink the deal,” and show you the math & money you’ll net and then handle everything.\u00a0 Many competitors focus on fixing and flipping your house so they are selling in the same market as you are–so they MUST give you only about 70% of value so they have a profit margin.\u00a0 We focus on buy and hold<\/em><\/strong> and get our profit 5+ years down the road–so we can pay more.\u00a0 It’s that simple.\u00a0 Call today 281.812.4101 or fill out the form to set up a confidential visit.<\/p>\n

Q: \u00a0Will you charge me any fees when I sell my home to your company?<\/strong>
\nA: The short answer is \u201cno\u201d.<\/strong> This is one of the main differences and advantages of selling your home directly to professional property buyers, versus selling your home through a real estate agent. There are never any sales fees or commissions when you work with us. Our profits come after the sale, once we repair your home and find a renter and then a buyer down the road.\u00a0 If you accept our offer, you get to keep all of the leftover cash for your house, after any outstanding bank loans, liens and closing fees are paid for (and sometimes we even pay the closing fees for you). Then you simply walk away without the burden of an unwanted property on your shoulders and hopefully a lot of much needed extra cash in your pocket. It\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 How do you determine the price you pay for houses?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 If a house is not in need of extensive repairs we can make offers that are near full retail, but if the home has significant deferred repairs we would need to receive a fair discount to accommodate for those costs–just like a retail buyer would require a discount or request a repair allowance. This allows us to fix up the property at our own expense so it can be leased or possibly re-sold. You can often NET the same amount you would if you worked with an agent, paid their fee, played that game and sold months later. One of the pieces of the puzzle we cover when we look at the home is the “math” so you know the numbers. Remember that there is a big chunk you lose to real estate commission, repair requests, carry costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, electric, cleaning, lawncare, etc.) that can be avoided by working with us.<\/p>\n

Our company purchases real estate in a wide range of prices and helps owners get much needed cash out of their homes in the shortest amount of time, with no out-of-pocket expenses, which they commonly face when selling a house using an agent. The convenience and simplicity of selling your home to professional house buyers can\u2019t be matched, when compared to the alternative of slowly going broke on a property while waiting for a buyer, possibly ruining your credit or getting sued, while being constantly stressed out by calls from bill collectors. We offer a winning solution for many property owners with limited options to otherwise liquidate the value in their homes. There\u2019s never any pressure to accept our offer, so you can just walk away if the numbers don\u2019t match up to your needs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 Should I try to sell with an Agent and then circle back if I can’t get it sold?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Real estate brokers and real estate agents make money off of property listings. They market your home, while locking you into an exclusive seller\u2019s agent contract for 6-12 months in most cases, which is the average time that it takes to sell a home in many areas today. This whole time you are paying carry costs and keeping yourself from moving on.\u00a0 So the cost of waiting can be significant and often does not NET you any more money in your pocket.<\/p>\n

Remember that you are competing with perfect homes on the MLS when using an agent.\u00a0 If your home is not absolutely tip-top, you are at a major disadvantage.\u00a0 We buy “as-is” and make it simple and fast.<\/p>\n

So you could wait and try to sell in the MLS market but what if\u00a0 the home doesn\u2019t sell? Owners really take a hit, when they\u2019re locked in a home selling contract, losing money on a property every month. That\u2019s where professional property buyers like Mako come in. Our company can make an all-cash offer on your property and you can close the deal, pay off your mortgage and walk away with some much needed cash in your hand in a little as 7 days, instead of waiting months on end to get rid of your unwanted property. We\u2019re not like traditional buyers who comb over a foot-long checklist when buying a property. We\u2019re not looking for a home in a certain neighborhood, a certain school district or a certain location close to our job. We\u2019re looking for properties with only one thing in mind: is it a good investment long-term?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: \u00a0How do you calculate cash offers for properties?<\/strong>
\nA:\u00a0 Our fast house buying process is not complicated. We analyze the most recent comparable home sales in the area where your property is located to get an estimate of its current value. Then we make adjustments to the price we can offer on your property based on its condition and any needed repairs. This is the best way to come up with a fair price to offer for your property, since home values constantly fluctuate based on local real estate market conditions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: \u00a0What Happens After I Send You My Property Information?<\/strong>
\nA: We\u2019ll take a look at the information that you provided and may contact you by phone to get additional details about your situation and the property that you want to sell. Then, after considering all of the specifics of your home, we\u2019ll usually be able to come up with a fair and honest all-cash offer on your property that\u2019s a win-win for both of us. And once you have an offer from our company, there\u2019s no obligation whatsoever for you to accept it. We promise that the decision of whether or not to sell your home will always be totally left up to you. If you do decide to sell your home to us, the process will go fast and you even get to pick a closing date that fits your schedule!<\/p>\n
