How does the cash offer process work when selling my home to a NC home buying company?

This is one of our most asked question, so let us break this down…

1. Once you submit our form, we will call you to get more information about your property and talk numbers.
2. We do research on your property to determine a fair cash offer. Next, we set an appointment to come see the property and meet each seller in person. We may present our offer on the spot or will follow up with a call to present our offer. Our offers are 100% free and come with no obligations.
3. Closing is set based on your selling timeline, and you receive cash for your house at closing! That’s it! Also, if you need money now, we can give you a deposit to help last you up until closing day when you receive the rest of your cash!

Is a “We buy houses” company right for my home sale?

It really depends on what you’re looking for in a home sale to determine whether a “We buy houses” company is right. Turner Home Team offers an all-cash, fast, hassle-free home selling option. There are no repairs, no cleaning, no fees, no commission. Plus, none of the hassles that come with a traditional sale: no open houses or showings. We even cover closing costs!

But with all of these benefits comes a cash offer for less than you could receive listed on the market. Of course, when listing on the market, you have to subtract agent fees, make repairs to your property, pay closing costs, and account for the time waiting to sell while still paying your mortgage, utilities, etc. If you want an all-cash, fast home sale without the hassles of working with an agent, then a “We buy houses” company may be the right fit. If you are looking to make repairs and get top dollar for your home, then listing your eastern NC home is going to be the better option.

Will A NC Cash Home Buyer pay a fair amount for my house?

We do our best to always pay a fair amount for houses. We are not here to lowball sellers but “fair” is always up to interpretation. We want homeowners to feel good about our cash offer and all of the hassle-free benefits that come with it, such as no hidden fees, repairs, or changing our offer price after the contract is signed.

Recognize, though, that there is a difference between a fair price and “market value.” If the house is in need of updates or repairs, then that value will be taken into consideration when we make our offer. Sometimes we are able to use “creative financing” to curate an offer that works better for both parties. Every time we make an offer, we present all possible opportunities. Since our offers come with no obligations and we can also put you in touch with a listing agent should you go that route, your best best is to just reach out to us and receive your free cash offer and then determine if you want to move forward! You have nothing to lose so reach out!

Should I be listing my house with a real estate agent?

Honestly, we don’t know, yet!

We would need to take a look at your house, situation, expectations, and timeline to give you a realistic answer. We are always happy to provide you with our professional recommendation and put you in touch with a leading NC Real Estate Agent we work with closely.

How do you buy houses across all of North Carolina?

Turner Home Team has a network of local investors with whom we partner in all major markets across Eastern NC. So, it’s either us or one of our local partners who knows your market best and is therefore able to offer more for your house. Although we serve homeowners across the region, each investor in our network specializes in a specific market, allowing them to operate on the ground and meet with sellers in person. We cut out the middleman and work directly with small local investors and homeowners such as yourself. By eliminating the middleman, we typically offer more for your home than other investors who buy your home with the intention of reselling it to a Fix-N-Flip buyer like ourselves. We purchase these homes, remodel them, and sell them all by ourselves. Our in-house savings enables us to pay more for homes, and as a result, we are able to purchase more homes across Eastern NC than almost any other cash home buyers.

Is there any obligation when I submit my info?

There are no obligations when you submit your info.

We understand that you have options, so to differentiate ourselves from the other options, we make sure that you know there are no costs to you when getting your free offer. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Do I need to clean or make repairs before I sell my house for cash?

No, you do not need to clean or make any repairs before moving out. We handle all cleaning and repairs once we close on the house. Feel free to leave behind everything you don’t want, from food in the fridge to trash and musty furniture. We take care of it all.

How is using Turner Home Team different from selling my house with the help of a real estate agent?

A real estate agent helps you sell your house using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a marketing tool to get your home in front of as many prospective buyers as possible. Often for weeks or months, you must endure many walkthroughs before you find the right buyer. Once the sale happens, you need to pay title fees, closing costs, as well as the agent’s commission.

In contrast, as investors, Turner Home Team buys your house right away with cash or finds other buyers that do the same. After rehab, we put the house back on the market and sell it for a profit. That’s how we make our money. When you sell to Turner Home Team, we cover inspection and closing costs, charge no commission, and pay you with cash. We eliminate the need for an agent and the extra expenses that it accrues while you get to enjoy a much quicker sale and less hassle.

Why should I choose Turner Home Team to buy my home?

The qualities Turner Home Team is proudest of offering you are trust and transparency. We break down every financial consideration using straightforward mathematics, so you know exactly why we offer you the price we do. You also get a clear picture of how much time and money you’re saving selling your house to us. We are honest and fair, which is why we have an excellent reputation across North Carolina.

Most Importantly, we cut out the middle man and buy the homes directly from sellers and flip these properties ourselves. Most home buying companies purchase homes and then sell them to investors such as ourselves. We cut out that middle man so that we can offer you more on your home, an in turn, we are able to purchase more homes and do a larger quantity of transactions each year. It is a win for sellers, and a win for us!

Turner Home Team is one of North Carolina’s number one cash homebuyers. We treat home sellers with integrity and respect and are the go-to experts in the area when buying homes for cash. We care about your timeline, concerns, and terms and do their best to deliver an offer you’re ecstatic to take. Whether you live in Greenville, New Bern, Havelock, Wilmington, or anywhere in Eastern North Carolina, Turner Home Team helps you with their network of investors and partners to make it easier on you to sell your North Carolina Home.

What do you do with my house once you buy it?

After purchasing your home, Turner Home Team begins refurbishing it by taking care of any necessary repairs and remodeling to bring the property back to it’s prime. Next, we work with an agent to get the house listed and sold and pay for all repairs, closing costs, fees, and commission. Finally, we realize the profit from the difference in their purchase price plus repairs, and what we were able to sell the property for. We are happy to contribute to communities and the economy by uplifting the value of neighborhoods in the state and for helping homeowners out of sticky situations such as foreclosure or selling a home in need of large repairs.

How is the price you offer for my house determined?

First, we, at Turner Home Team, evaluate the after repair value (ARV) of your house, determining how much we could sell it for on the market once we finish the necessary work after buying it from you. One of our specialists visits your home and calculates the repair and refurbishment costs required.

Next, we consider the selling costs. While you are fortunate to bypass using an agent when selling to Turner Home Team, we need to use one to list the house after we buy it from you and cover all holding and closing costs, fees, taxes, and commission, usually 10% of the ARV.

Finally, we subtract repair, refurbishment, and selling costs from the ARV and add in our minimum necessary profit required per our underwriters, and that’s how we arrive at the cash price we offer you.

Do I need to clean my house before you buy it?

The great news is that you don’t need to clean or repair any part of your house. Just leave it as is, and Turner Home Team will take care of it after buying your home. That’s one of the perks their clients love about selling this way. Selling your home as-is means no headaches or repairs will be required of you, just signing the paperwork and being “done with it”!

Should I just list my house with an agent?

Though there are instances where this might be a better choice for you, using an agent and listing on multiple sites becomes a prolonged and inconvenient prospect. Interested buyers constantly walk through your home. You need to accommodate appraisers and inspectors and often have to make repairs on your end to get the price you want. Refurbishing might raise your asking price, but it can get costly to have the work done, and it comes out of your pocket.

Enduring open houses on the weekends and worrying about having to lower your price after weeks or months of no success is stressful. Furthermore, once you find a buyer, it can take weeks to close the deal. Even worse, the buyers financing could fall through, and you’re back to square one once again.

The Turner Home Team offers a fast, worry-free way to get the money you want for your home in an guaranteed cash offer so you can just move on with your life. Listing your home wont be easier, but you have the potential of making more money. It is totally up to you which route you decide to go. We are just here to give you options.

How do I sell my house quickly for cash?

Buying your house quickly for cash is what we do for a living. We will ask you about your home and location and determine its market value, then come to walk through and assess any needed repairs and refurbishments. We then calculate the repair and selling costs and subtract them from the market value and add our percentage of profit needed for the level of risk. Afterwards, we are ready to make you an offer. No more headaches based on trying to determine what your property is worth or how much it needs in repairs. We will simply take this off your plate so that you can move on.

If I am facing foreclosure, will you buy my property?

Not only will Turner Home Team make you an offer, but we will also help you avoid foreclosure. Our real estate professionals have experience dealing with such scenarios. We have built long-term relationships with the leading financial institutions and local attorneys; therefore, we are in great position to help you avoid foreclosure.

If you make an offer, am I obliged to take it?

No. You are in control of the entire process. There is no legal obligation to accept Turner Home Team’s offer if you are not satisfied. We are not here to take advantage of you but to turn your situation into a mutually beneficial arrangement and provide transparency through the entire transaction.

Can I Sell My Home With People In It?

Yes. We buy houses that are rented or that are owner-occupied. In some situations, we will buy the house and keep the tenants. Please do let them know as somebody might pass by the house to take a look at its exterior. If there is somebody inside, they might get surprised to see someone inspecting the house.
