Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that selling your home is a significant decision, and you may have a lot of questions. Thatâs perfectly normal! Below are some of the most common questions homeowners ask when considering selling to Offer Pear. If you donât see your question here or want more details, feel free to contact usâwe’re here to help!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: At Offer Pear, we offer a unique approach tailored to your needs. We have two primary options for selling your house:
- Cash Offer: If you need a fast sale, we can buy your house for cash directly, meaning you avoid listing fees, showings, and long waiting periods. Weâll buy your home as-is and close on your timeline, often in as little as 7-10 days.
- Listing with a Realtor Partner: If youâre looking to maximize your profit and donât mind waiting, we can list your property through one of our trusted realtor partners to help you sell on the open market. Either way, weâre focused on transparency and your best interests.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Yes, our goal is to offer a fair price that works for both you and us. We specialize in buying houses as-is, without requiring any repairs or upgrades. While we generally pay below market value (as we need to resell at a profit), many of our clients value the convenience of a fast, hassle-free sale. You avoid realtor fees, repair costs, and months of waiting. Plus, our no-obligation offer means youâre free to explore other options before making a decision.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Our pricing model is transparent and fair. We take into consideration several factors, such as:
- Location of the property
- Condition and needed repairs
- Current market value of similar properties in your area
- Potential resale value after any necessary improvements We then factor in the convenience of an as-is, quick cash sale. Our goal is to provide an offer that works for you, without any hidden surprises.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: With our Cash Offer program, there are absolutely no fees, commissions, or hidden charges. We cover all closing costs, so the price we offer is exactly what you will receive. If you choose to list with one of our realtor partners, there will be traditional listing fees, but weâll be transparent about those costs upfront.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Unlike traditional real estate agents who simply list your property and hope for a buyer, Offer Pear gives you options:
- Cash Buyers Network: We have a network of cash buyers ready to make you offers, so you can sell your house fast without the headaches of repairs, showings, or waiting for a buyerâs financing to go through.
- Realtor Partners: If you want to go the traditional route, we work with top realtors in Vancouver who can help you list your property on the MLS to get the highest possible price.
We combine the flexibility and speed of cash buyers with the market reach of real estate agents to give you more control over your sale.
Q: What types of properties do you buy?
A: We buy properties of all types and conditions. Whether your home is in excellent condition, needs significant repairs, or even if itâs been inherited, vacant, or facing foreclosureâweâre interested! Offer Pear buys single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses, and even some commercial properties.
Q: Can you help if Iâm facing foreclosure?
A: Absolutely. If youâre at risk of foreclosure, we can help you navigate your options and potentially stop the foreclosure process with a fast cash sale. Selling your home quickly can save your credit and give you a fresh start. We have experience dealing with foreclosure situations and can help you explore all your available options.
Q: How long does the process take to sell my house?
A: We work on your timeline. If you need to close quickly, we can finalize the sale in as little as 7-10 days. If you need more time to make arrangements or move, we can work with your schedule to ensure a smooth transition.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely no obligation when you submit your property information to us. Once you provide us with details about your home, weâll evaluate it and present you with an all-cash offer. Itâs entirely up to you whether to accept or decline. We believe in a no-pressure, no-hassle processâour goal is to help you make the best decision for your situation.
Q: What if I donât want a fast cash sale?
A: No problem! If speed isnât your main concern and you want to maximize the sale price, we can connect you with one of our experienced real estate agents. They will list your property on the open market and work to get you the best possible price. We give you multiple options, so youâre always in control of how you sell your home.
Q: How quickly can I get an offer on my house?
A: Once you submit your information, we can usually provide you with a cash offer within 24-48 hours. We pride ourselves on being responsive and efficient, so youâll have the information you need to make a decision as quickly as possible.
Q: What if my house needs a lot of repairs?
A: No need to worry! We buy houses as-is, meaning you donât need to make any repairs or clean-up before selling to us. We specialize in properties that need a little (or a lot of) work. This allows you to avoid the hassle and cost of making repairs yourself.
Q: What if Iâm still unsure about selling my house?
A: We get itâselling your home is a big decision, and itâs okay to have doubts or questions. Thatâs why we offer a no-obligation consultation to walk you through your options. Whether you decide to sell now, later, or not at all, our goal is to provide you with valuable information to make an informed decision.
