Help Us Help You, Inc.’s process is straightforward. Help Us Help You, Inc. considers several factors when determining a cash offer

After visiting your home, our representative will evaluate:

We’ll factor this into our offer, and it will save you the money and the headache associated with getting your home ready to sell

Our evaluation will be explained to you in our FREE Cash Offer, so you can understand exactly how we came to the amount we are offering

No! Help Us Help You, Inc. are direct buyers. We do not want to take your home and list it while you wait for it to close. We want to pay you directly, as quickly as possible for your property.

We do not need financing, which allows us to work on your terms, closing on whichever day is the most convenient for you and when you work with us there are no fees, commissions, out of pocket repair costs or long waiting.

You also don’t have to worry about extra costs coming out of your pocket in order to get your property show-ready. We won’t even ask you to clean or make repairs because we buy as is. We will clean up, paint and take care of all the repairs for you. You simply sit back and wait for your check!

We send the money to the title company on the day of closing. Once they’ve verified all the closing paperwork and recorded everything with the county, the funds will be electronically wired to your bank account typically in 1 business day

It’s standard practice for title companies to use a secure wire transfer directly into your bank account when disbursing your proceeds

You may request a cashier’s check or a check from the closing agency. Just remember that banks place holds on large checks and this is why closing agencies prefer to wire the money directly to your bank account so you can have access to it right away

Help Us Help You, Inc. usually close on most properties in as little as 7 days, and in some cases, less time than that

It normally takes the closing agency up to 7 days to get the title search back and this is why 7 days is our minimum

Most of our closings can actually be done remotely. All you’ll need to do is meet with a notary, which we can arrange, and sign the paperwork

This is a unique question that completely depends on the circumstances. However, in some cases, we will purchase properties with tax liens, mechanics liens, and HOA liens. You just need to understand that each lien will be settled and whatever amount is owed will be paid out to the appropriate parties and then, anything that’s leftover will be paid out to you

If the amount of liens on your property are more than the value of your property, we will not purchase your property from you

No, just remove the items that you want from the property and leave everything else there. Doing so will allow things to be less stressful for you

Just remember that once we close on your property, you won’t be able to go back in there and get your items, so be sure to remove everything you want at least 3 days (before) the closing of your property

Then, do a walk through to make sure you got everything out that you want

Selling a property “as-is” does NOT mean that you don’t have to tell us what’s wrong with your property and that you are allowed to purposely withhold important information about your property

Purposely withholding such pertinent information is a form of intentional fraud

Therefore, you should disclose everything that you know is a defect about your property. However, us purchasing your property “as-is” just means that after knowing everything that you disclose to us and that we find out during our due diligence, we still agree to purchase your property in its current condition

Also, here’s how traditional property sales go: A buyer makes an offer on your property. You say yes. Then, the buyer calls in an inspector who starts pinpointing all sorts of problems and repairs

So, the buyer lowers the original offer or asks you to pay for the repairs. Either way, you have to pay out-of-pocket with a traditional sale but you don’t have to worry about this when you sell “as-is” for cash to Help Us Help You, Inc.

Help Us Help You, Inc. pays cash for ALL properties and we buy everything “as is” as long as it meets our buying criteria

Help Us Help You, Inc. are not real estate agents, and we don’t list houses on the MLS. We are professional property buyers. We buy properties that meet our purchasing criteria

This is what makes Help Us Help You, Inc. stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your property to Help Us Help You, Inc. We’ll make you an offer, and if you agree to it, we’ll buy your house and pay ALL of your typical closing costs except for liens and back taxes! No hassle. No fees!

Real estate agents list properties on the MLS and hopes 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 takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer.

Oft times, the real estate agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent)

Agents provide a great service for those who can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of their sale price to pay for the commissions

This is where Help Us Help You, Inc. is different: We’re not agents, we’re professional property buyers. Our company actually buys properties

We are not real estate agents who list houses. And since we’re actually the one buying the house from you with cash, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day), instead of you having to wait 6 to 12 months

Once the contract is signed, an escrow account is opened. On your closing date, the escrow agent will send the payoff amount to your mortgage lender, and the remaining funds will be wired to your bank account

You will need to vacate the premises at least 3 days or longer (before) the closing date of your property, no exceptions

One of the last steps to closing with Help Us Help You, Inc. is to complete your digital checkout at 12 noon CST the day before your close date. We’ll ask you to take a few quick pictures of your home and upload them to us to certify that:

Your home is in the same condition as it was during the assessment (e.g. no major damage since we last viewed it)

The home is vacant: all items inside and outside that you want to keep have been removed and there is no one living in the residence

YES! The long answer, while similar to the first, is: it depends on whether you will end up losing money. To sell a house with a mortgage is possible, but you have to consider a few factors before you do, including:

Viability of the sale price – when you still have a good way to go before you finish paying your mortgage off, you have to make sure your sale price is higher than whatever amount remains of your loan. This is especially true when you are planning on purchasing a new house with whatever money you have left

Equity – if real estate prices in your area have dropped and your house is now worth less than when you bought it, selling it may not be a financially sound idea

Early termination fees and penalties – check the terms of your mortgage to make sure you are not penalized for terminating early. Especially if you are still in the first half of the repayment period

We do purchase properties with existing tenants. We would just need information on your existing lease agreement and we’ll find a solution that works for you and your tenants

We’re happy to let your problem tenants become our problem tenants. You can still sell us your property if it meets our buying criteria

You don’t need to bring money to closing. Any outstanding property taxes can be deducted from the sale of the property and deducted your final proceeds

None! Help Us Help You, Inc. will cover all of the traditional closing costs associated with a real estate transaction, except for liens and back taxes

No. Help Us Help You, Inc. will cover traditional closing costs such as title insurance, escrow fees, document preparation, recording fees, and notary fees, with the exception of liens and back taxes

We appreciate the courtesy, but please don’t feel like you have to clean or tidy up for us! Our acquisitions managers have trained eyes that allow them to see past any clutter you may have and focus on the property itself

It’s standard practice for title companies to use a secure wire transfer directly into your bank account when disbursing your proceeds

You can request a certified cashier’s check at closing if you prefer, but note that a cashier’s check often takes longer to clear when depositing due to holds placed by most banks on a check of large sizes

We send the money to the title company on the day of closing. Once they’ve verified all the closing paperwork and recorded everything with the county, the funds will be electronically wired to your bank account. Typically 1 business day.
