Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Deztiny Real-Estate, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Any State 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.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: 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 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.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: 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!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very transparent. We carefully assess the location of the property, required repairs, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses recently sold in Any State. By analyzing all these factors, we determine a fair price that aligns with market trends and meets your expectations as a homeowner.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Experience the difference with us – when you sell your house directly to Deztiny Real-Estate, there are NO fees or commissions involved, unlike traditional listing fees that can eat up to 6% of your sale price. We present you with a fair offer, and if it aligns with your needs, we handle the entire process without any hassles or costs. In fact, we may even cover the closing expenses! Our profit is derived only after investing in necessary repairs and reselling the property. By selling to us, you eliminate the uncertainties and financial burdens associated with property ownership, walking away with cash in hand and peace of mind.
Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?
A: You are under no obligation whatsoever. Once you share details about your property, we will evaluate the information, potentially schedule a call to delve deeper, and then provide you with a competitive all-cash offer. The decision to sell your house to us is entirely yours. Your choice matters, and we want you to do what’s right for you.
