HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?

---

BAD! When you hear a company willing to offer you a price over the phone or internet within 24 hours rest assured you are leaving some of your money on the table. We have worked with many of these companies, and we have staff that have previously worked for those companies. Their approach is to offer quickly and aggressively at an extremely low price allowing the margin of error to benefit them. What this means is the average "flip" or "cash buyer" will throw out extremely low offers daily without spending time determining the actual value of the home. If a homeowner happens to accept a low offer its no brainer for those companies to move forward. At No Agent Offer we specialize in making a strong offer narrowing the margin which allows home sellers to keep more in their pocket. No Agent Offer moves forward with a purchase on much narrower profit margins than other companies. We can do this due to our minimal overhead and our purchase ability. When NAO provides you and offer, we have taken the time to visit the home, compare the home, and evaluate the home so we can provide the strongest real life offer possible.

NO! This is a time to be extremely cautious. For advertising’s sake, a realtor may promote buying the home if they cannot sell it. Over the last decade this has become a common advertising technique and we have seen firsthand its failure. First, most real estate agents do not have the cash available to purchase as we do. Second if a realtor determines over a listing period that the home is not selling why would they want to buy it? Third if the realtor did want to buy your home and had an agreed upon lower price in the event the home did not sell, do you think that realtor would make every effort possible to sell the home? Fourth, in some cases we do get calls from the agents that claim they will buy it. Often, they will turn to our wholesale market to look for a cash buyer or try to assign it. At this point the agent will ask for a commission, and a cash buyer will know the home has become stale.

NO! This is a frequent problem that often nets the seller a lower offer.  We typically buy homes that have been neglected, need work, or simply need to sell fast. When we show up with an offer, we anticipate buying the home "as is" and do not worry about inspections or repairs. There are three negative things that happen when a homeowner lists prior. 1) The home buyers and real estate agent will inspect, dig, tear apart, investigate, and request a lot of repairs or reductions in price on your home. These days those inspections follow the homes often making our offer more difficult. 2) By listing your home on the open market when it does not sell it becomes a stale listing. Local area buyers and neighbors now know the home has sat on the market for a period without selling. 3) When we provide an offer to a homeowner our intention is to upgrade the home, improve the home, and create excitement for the home. We put a lot of value on the excitement of presenting the newly beautified home. Removing this option from us results in a lower cash purchase price down the road.

Let us face it, the answer you want to hear is to select the company that will pay you the most money for your home. At NAO you will have decisions made by the President without having to support a large staff, group of investors, or multiple salaries in the office. NAO typically arrives with the strongest offer because we do not have to factor in a large delta to cover these costs.

Absolutely not! There are hundreds of companies advertising that they will buy your home as is with cash, quick offers, immediate closing, and plenty of fine print. Many of those companies are not even the principal buyer and they bring sellers like you to us behind the scenes. You may see something like this happen when an investor says they may assign the contract. Many investment or resale companies have to factor in their cash, hard money, risk, and staff time. NAO funds our own purchases, maintains a smaller more controllable company allowing for tighter margins which allows you the homeowner to keep more.

Beautification! Many of our customers have contacted us because they have recently inherited a home. It is common for homes in these situations to need repair. It is common when someone inherits a home that they may live out of area or in a different state. We say beautification because this is our specialty. We will pay an extremely fair price for your home, update the home to show its true beauty and then resell the home to the next family to enjoy it. Our feedback in the past has been that home sellers really appreciate this process at this time in their life.
