Our unique and transparent pricing model provides customized offers based on a thorough evaluation of your specific property. Leveraging market data and trends in Houston real estate to determine the current market value, we promise to provide you with our highest and best offer. We focus on the details – condition, upgrades, location, comparable sales, type of property – to ensure you receive maximum value. Our transparent, tailored approach aims to benefit you above all else with a cash offer that reflects what your house is truly worth. We do not provide lowball offers, if we did, we would not be in business. Our goal is a smooth simple sale optimized for your needs.

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Good Faith Offers, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Houston that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

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 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 35 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent. Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6+ 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 buys the house 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.

The answer is 100% Yes! There is no rule or law stating that you have to sell your house with a real estate agent. When selling directly to Good Faith Offers, there are no realtor commissions because we are not Realtors and we do not use Realtors when buying your Houston house.

Listing your house with a Realtor may seem familiar and like the more usual approach, however, it isn’t always the best option. A real estate agent will charge you an average of 5-6% of the final home sales price in exchange for connecting you with a buyer…we are that Direct Home Buyer you have been looking for! Working with us will save you from having to pay ANY commissions or fees! Aside from costs it can take months to sell, the home may need to be staged, there might be minor/major repairs needed, you may need to go through a series of open houses and photos of the interior and exterior home will be all over the internet.

When choosing to work with us, here’s what you gain:

• Speed: Skip the wait – close in weeks, not months.
• Privacy: No open houses, no public listing, everything is kept confidential.
• Convenience: Sell as-is, no repairs, no cleaning.
• Transparency: We will buy your house securely through a trusted escrow company.

We buy most types of residential properties such as single family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes, triplexes, multi-tenant properties, apartments and sometimes commercial properties. We buy properties all over the Greater Houston area including Galveston, Conroe and beyond!

There is no obligation to accept our cash offer for your house. There is never any pressure when working with us. We aim to provide competitive cash offers that are transparent so that you can make the best decision. We want you to do what’s best for you and your situation. If you decide our offer isn’t the right fit, we completely respect that. We’re happy to provide any resources or information that could help you in weighing your options, even if you don’t end up working with us. Our goal is simply to be a helpful resource for Houston homeowners like yourself as you navigate this process.

Many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they 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 realtor fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. This is because we are direct cash buyers and don’t use realtors when purchasing your house. In other words, we’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. Yes, this means that we will pay all the closing costs! 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.

Great! If you have any additional questions about selling your home, please feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to provide more information and resources to assist you through the home selling process. For the quickest response, call us directly at (713) 635-9455!
