Are you going to list my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

Answer:  Great question! Unlike real estate agents who list houses and wait for buyers, I buy houses directly. That means no showings, no commissions, and no waiting. If your property fits what I’m looking for, I can make you a fair cash offer and close on your timeline—sometimes in just a few days!

Once I purchase a home, I may renovate it or keep it as a rental, but either way, you get a quick, hassle-free sale without the usual headaches.

Let’s chat! Call me at (346) 598-2424, and the Grandma House Buyer will help you figure out your best next step.


How is selling to me different from listing with a real estate agent?

how does us direct home buyers differ from a real estate agent

Answer: When you list with a real estate agent, they market your home on the MLS and wait for a qualified buyer to come along. This process can take 4-6 months or longer, and in the end, you’ll pay 3-6% in agent commissions—which could mean thousands of dollars out of your pocket. You may also need to make repairs, stage the home, and deal with showings. That’s a lot of waiting and wondering!

That’s where I come in! I’m not just another agent—I’m the Grandma Who Buys Houses! Instead of waiting for a buyer, I buy your house directly for cash. Since I purchase with my own funds, I can make a decision within a few days—sometimes even the same day. No commissions, no waiting, no uncertainty. The Grandma House Buyer take care of the repairs and all the hard stuff, so you don’t have to. Selling a house should be simple, and I’m here to make that happen! (Look at the chart below to see a side-by-side comparison.)

Why should I sell to you instead of listing my house with an agent?

Answer: If you have months to wait and want to try for the highest possible price, listing with an agent might be a good option. But if you want a fast, hassle-free sale, selling directly to me is the better choice. With me, there are no commissions, no repairs, and no waiting.

Unlike agents, I don’t just list your home—I buy it. That means you get a fair cash offer quickly and can close on your timeline without worrying about financing delays, inspections, or buyer negotiations. Plus, you get to work with someone who truly cares—I know selling a home is a big decision, and I want to make it as stress-free as possible for you.

If you’re looking for certainty, speed, and a little old-fashioned kindness, selling to Grandma House Buyer might just be the best move. Give me a call today at (346) 598-2424, and let’s chat about how the Grandma House Buyer can help!

Need a further breakdown? Look at this comparison chart:

 Selling w/ an AgentSOLD To Grandma House Buyer
Commissions / Fees:Total up to 6%, paid by you, the sellerNone
Who Pays Closing Costs?2% on average paid by you, the sellerI pay all costs.
Inspection & Financing Contingency*:Yes, sales can fall through.None needed
Appraisal Needed:Yes, often subject to appraisal.No, I make cash offers.
Average Days Until Sold:90 Days +/-I provide immediate cash offers.
Number of Showings:Depends1 (Just Us)
Closing Date:30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offerYOU choose the date.
Who Pays For Repairs?Negotiated during the inspection periodI pay for all repairs.
*An inspection contingency in the contract gives the buyer time for an inspection, after which they can back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if repairs are needed (in their opinion) to be made to the house. If you can’t come agree with the buyer’s demands, the buyer may back out of the sale. Likewise, a financing contingency gives the buyer “wiggle room” to back out of the purchase if they cannot secure a loan. Also the home appraisal must be enough to cover the amount of the loan for the bank to close the loan.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?

does us direct home buyers pay fair prices for properties

Answer:  I believe in creating win-win deals for homeowners who want a fast, hassle-free sale. Since I buy houses below market value, I can take on the repairs, the risks, and all the work that comes with reselling or renting the property. But for many sellers, getting cash in hand quickly without having to fix anything, pay agent fees, or wait months for a buyer is worth it.

If selling your house as-is, for cash, and on your timeline sounds like a good option, I’d love to chat! There’s no obligation—just an honest offer with zero pressure. Call Grandma House Buyer at (346) 598-2424, and let’s see if I can make something work for you!

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

Answer: Great question! I believe in being upfront and transparent about how I make offers. It’s a simple, straightforward process—I look at the location, condition, and needed repairs on your home, along with the value of similar homes that have recently sold nearby. I also factor in my costs, including any financing and renovations needed to get the house market-ready.

At the end of the day, my goal is to make you a fair, no-obligation offer that works for both of us. If it makes sense for you, great! If not, no pressure—just an honest conversation about your options. Let’s talk! Call me at (346) 598-2424, and the Grandma House Buyer will be happy to go over the details with you.


Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

are there any fees or commissions to work with us direct home buyers

Answer: Nope! When you sell to me, there are absolutely no fees or commissions—just a straightforward, hassle-free sale. Unlike listing with an agent, where commissions can take up to 6% of your sale price, I buy houses directly so you keep more money in your pocket.

I also cover all closing costs, so there are no hidden fees to worry about. My profit comes from handling the repairs and reselling the home later—I take on the risk so you don’t have to. Once I buy your house, you’re free from the stress of owning it, and you walk away with cash in hand.

If that sounds good to you, let’s chat! Call the Grandma House Buyer at (346) 598-2424, and I’d be happy to answer any questions.


Where Do You Get Your Funding to Buy My House?

where does US Direct Home Buyers get the funding to buy my house

Answer: Great question! The Grandma House Buyer works with private lenders—individuals or private institutions that provide funding specifically for real estate purchases. Unlike traditional banks, these lenders offer more flexibility and faster access to capital, which means I can close quickly without waiting on bank approvals.

These lenders are usually experienced investors looking for a solid return on their money. Since the loan is secured by the property, they have a vested interest in making sure the deal moves forward smoothly. For you, this means a faster closing process and the peace of mind that my funding is already lined up, reducing the risk of financing delays or deals falling through.

If you have any questions about how this works, just give me a call at (346) 598-2424—I’m happy to chat!


Is there any obligation when I submit my information?

Is there any obligation when I submit my information

Answer: Not at all! There’s zero pressure and no obligation—just an honest conversation. Once you share a few details about your property, I’ll take a look, maybe hop on a quick call with you, and put together a fair, all-cash offer. What you decide to do from there is completely up to you.

I know selling a house is a big decision, and the Grandma House Buyer respects that. My job is simply to give you options and be as helpful as possible—and yes, I promise to be kind and easy to talk to! If you’re curious about what I can offer, let’s chat. Call me at (346) 598-2424, and we’ll take it from there.
