Question 1

Are you realtors?

Accepted Answer

No. We're investors who buy houses ourselves. We make a profit when we resell or renovate the property. We don't charge you a commission, because we're not listing your house — we're buying it. If listing with a realtor is the better fit for you, we'll say so.

Question 2

How do you decide your offer?

Accepted Answer

We look at what similar homes in your area are selling for, estimate the cost of the repairs the house needs, and subtract our costs and a fair margin. It's straightforward and transparent, and there's no cost or obligation to get an offer.

Question 3

Is there any cost or obligation?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no cost and no obligation to get an offer from us. You don't pay us anything, and you're free to walk away if the offer isn't right for you.

Question 4

What if my house needs a lot of work?

Accepted Answer

That's fine with us. We buy houses as-is, so a new roof, foundation issues, outdated wiring or plumbing, or a full cleanout don't rule your house out. You don't spend a dollar on repairs before we see it.

Question 5

What if I have tenants?

Accepted Answer

We can buy a house with tenants in place. We'll talk through the situation honestly so everyone understands what happens next, and we never encourage you to do anything that breaks the rules around tenancies.

Question 6

How fast can we close?

Accepted Answer

We can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Because we buy directly and don't list the house, there's no waiting for a buyer's financing or inspection conditions.

Question 7

Do I need to clean the house out?

Accepted Answer

No. We buy houses as-is, including houses full of belongings. You can take what you want and leave the rest — we'll handle it.

Question 8

What if my house is already listed with a realtor?

Accepted Answer

If your house is currently listed, we're happy to talk once the listing ends, or through your agent. We never encourage you to break a listing agreement.

Question 9

How do I get paid, and who handles the paperwork?

Accepted Answer

Your lawyer handles the closing, the same as any Ontario real estate transaction. The sale goes through your lawyer's trust account, and you receive your money on the closing date.

Question 10

Do you buy houses anywhere in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

We buy houses across Southern Ontario. If your town isn't on our list yet, call us — we may still be able to help or point you to someone who can.

Question 11

What kinds of houses do you buy?

Accepted Answer

All kinds — detached, semi-detached, townhouses, bungalows, century homes, rental properties, vacant houses, and houses that need major repairs. The condition doesn't rule a house out.

Question 12

Will you give me a guaranteed offer price over the phone?

Accepted Answer

No. We never promise a specific offer price before we've looked at your house and the area. We can usually make an offer within an hour of speaking with you, often while we're still on the phone — but we won't invent a number to get you on the hook.
