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.
What does "as is" mean?
We buy your Omaha home as-is, meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, and more after we purchase your home. We factor this into our offer, of course, but it saves you the money and the headache associated with getting your home ready to sell.
How do I know this is not a scam?
If you see any of the testimonials of our homeowners that are on our website and social media, you can realize that we are very caring and very knowledgeable about what we do.
To make sure that everything is done properly and that you are protected all the way we hire a title company to act as a third party intermediary in the transaction, that way we ensure that all money is going through them so you will never be requested a check or will be never giving you directly any money, everything goes through the title company to ensure that everything gets done legally. And yes, we will pay for that service as well, so don’t worry about that.
What does an “all-cash offer” mean?
“All-cash” means exactly that – all cash for your Omaha home! Because we are real estate investors who are purchasing your home directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the financing falling through, or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive at close.
How fast is a fast closing?
After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!
Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in Omaha that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
How do I get pay?
You can pick or have mail a cashier’s check or you can have the money wired to your bank account from the convenience of your home, either/or the check comes from the title company to ensure the legitimacy of the funds.
Do you buy houses in any situation?
Yes, a lot of our sellers sell to us simply for convenience, we not underline financial issues but we also know how to deal with situations like preforeclosure, foreclosure, probate, inheritance, tax liens, code liens, code violations or property that are in financial distress and need a lift.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
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 6-12 months) and then take 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 6 to 12 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.
How do I know you are the right company for me?
With us you will have personalized attention and we adapt our services according to your needs.
By taking the time to listen and understand the specific situation you find yourself in, we are able to offer you a unique solution for a unique situation.
What if I don’t need a fast closing?
At Cash for Keys Omaha, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc., we will schedule the closing on the day that works best for you!
Do you pay fair prices for properties?
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 of 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!
Will I get a low-ball offer?
Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer possible. Unlike other buyers or the big tech giants, we’re transparent with how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process and happy to walk you through how it works.
Is this even legit?
Yes, it is! The real estate industry is rapidly changing, and thousands of Americans are exploring their options when it comes to selling their house the fastest, easiest, and most transparent way. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for those homeowners who may not have the time or ability to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll work with you to assess your situation, make you a transparent all-cash offer, and close on your timeline.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
Do you buy houses in any condition?
Yes, we do. We buy houses that are in perfect shape, that need repairs as well, we build new houses in empty lots, we demo houses to make for new lots,houses that have tax issues, houses on foreclosure or pre foreclosure and more.
Do you buy houses in any location?
Yes. We don’t care about the location, as long as we can help, we could even buy properties out of state. But primarily we buy anything around Omaha, Council Bluff, Lincoln, Papillon, La Vista, Sarpy County, Cass County, Douglas County, Lancaster County and nearby these areas.
Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
