Sell My House Fast Pensacola LLC

FAQ ‘s: Perhaps you have a few questions? My name is Steve Kazella, the local Pensacola real estate investor behind this website and company. So… you have questions. Great! That’s okay and totally normal; most people do when they are in a position where they need to sell their house fast in Pensacola or the Emerald Coast. Here is a quick collection of typical questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question after reading our FAQ page, please do not hesitate to contact us anytime. We are here to be of service to you.
FAQ #1: Does your company list my house on the MLS or do you actually buy my it?
A: Excellent question. Sell My House Fast Pensacola LLC is a company that buys houses. This is not a real estate agency. We are investors that buy houses in Pensacola. 100% no – we do not list houses on the MLS. Sell My House Fast Pensacola LLC is a professional home buyer in the Solutions Business helping home owners who need to sell a house to solve an immediate real estate problem: We buy houses Pensacola that meet our buying criteria. We do not use bank financing. It’s all private money used to acquire properties. After we buy your house, we might fix up the house and resell the house (flip it) or we might hold it and pit our own tenant into the house as a rental.
FAQ #2: What makes you different from real estate agents?
A: Real estate agents list houses on the MLS for other buyers to see with the hope that a buyer will purchase the property. The real estate agent shows the house to potential home buyers. Selling a house in Pensacola with a real estate agent can easily take 4-6 months vs. the fast process when we buy your house. Selling a house the “traditional way” also involves closing costs. Typically the real estate agent’s commission is 3% 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 4+ 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.
FAQ #3: How much does it cost when you buy my house?
A: See the chart below.

FAQ #4: Do you offer fair prices for houses?
A: The truth is that 90% to 95% of Pensacola home owners do not and should not utilize the service that we provide. You have a real estate problem that needs a fast fair solution. We are problem solvers. If you have the time, money or enough equity in your house to list and sell your house the “normal way” with a realtor or as a F.S.B.O. on your own, then those will be the best choice for 90% of you.
When we make a fair all-cash offer, we need the selling price to reflect that the house needs renovations or repairs, and we need to buy it at a price that makes good business sense for us and still provides you with a “way out” or solution. The best analogy that we can make is that we are kind of similar to a pawn shop for used houses. Think about it. 90% to 95% of Pensacola homeowners are not in a situation where they need to sell their house to a “house pawn shop” to solve their real estate related problems. Are offers are fair. Many of the properties we buy are below market value. We are in business to buy and then sell for a profit. Hopefully that is not coming as a surprise to you. We need to buy your house at a discount if you are looking for a quick cash sale. What’s in it for you? Fast closing allows you to walk away from the house. If you are in a situation where you don’t need a cash offer, you are simply in a situation where you don’t have enough money to sell the house with an agent and you don’t have money to bring to closing – we can solve your real estate problem at full selling price in most cases!

FAQ #6: How do you figure out what price to offer me on my house?
A: Another good question. No smoke and mirrors. Our property acquisition process is simple and straightforward. We evaluate the location of the house, see what repairs will be needed, evaluate the house and its condition, and we look at the value of “comps” which are comparable houses that sold in the area or neighborhood recently. We take these data points into consideration, we come up with a fair offer price that works for us and should work for you as well too.
FAQ #7: What are the fees or commissions to work with your company?
A: When we buy your house we are the buyer so this is what makes us different than selling your house with a real estate agent: you pay ZERO fees or sales commissions when we buy your house directly vs. paying listing fees of up to 6% out of pocket to a Pensacola real estate agent to sell your house. Sell My House Fast Pensacola LLC will make you a fair cash offer – or offer fair terms to buy your house – and if the offer is an acceptable solution, then we’ll close and buy your house quickly without fees or headaches. We buy the property with our bottom line in mind to turn a profit, but also to help solve your real estate problem. Once we purchase the house from you, we take on the responsibility and you can walk away without responsibility of maintaining the house or making further mortgage payments, with cash in hand.
FAQ #8: What’s the catch, am I under any obligation when I send over the Form?
A: You are under no obligation at all. We just want to talk to you to find out about your situation and the property, take a look at the house, perhaps set up a call to have a more in-depth discussion, and come up with a plan to solve your “ugly or stressful house problem” that you have, and make you fair all-cash offer or offer you creative financing terms that also could be a solution. In order for us to be able to help you with the house situation, the solution that we offer must be fair for you and it has to be fair for us – or we won’t be able to buy it. From that point on, it’s 100% your choice on whether or not you’d like to move forward with us and sell your house to our company.
