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. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.

Absolutely, we pride ourselves on coming up with a win-win situation where all parties benefit. In our experience, many sellers appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

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. 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 restoring the property and deciding to sell it for a profit or rent it out. 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.

Real estate agents provide a service to help sell your home. 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 3-6 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $300,000 house, you’ll pay $18,000 in commissions to the agent(s).

Agents provide a great service in many situations. We at Local Home Buyers provide a solution for sellers or property owners in unique situations. We’re the buyers. Our Sioux Falls company buys your house for cash, directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even 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.

There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you fill out the contact form we will reach out to you to chat a bit about your property. From there we will schedule a quick walkthrough of the property and within 24 hours we will be able to 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 Sioux Falls home without a realtor. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
