Q: When I sell my house to you, are you buying it or just listing it for me on the MLS?
A: Great question. For the most part, we don’t just list houses, we pay cash for houses in Southern Indiana. While we do have agents on our team, our primary goal is to help homeowners who need to get rid of their houses fast and pay them cash. We Flip Houses is a professional home buying company in Southern Indiana: We pay cash for houses, essentially helping you sell your house fast, that meet our buying criteria. We don’t use bank financing so there’s no waiting to sell your house with us. When we make you a cash offer for your house, we have the cash on hand and we fully intend on buying your house. With We Flip Houses, you do not have to worry about our offer falling through due to bank financing and we can even close in as little as seven days. After purchasing from you, we will more than likely repair and restore the house to its former glory and then list it so another family can make it their home or turn it into a rental property so local residents who can’t afford to buy a home are able to find affordable housing.
Q: How are you different from other cash home buyers near me?
We’re different from other cash home buyers in the area because while we don’t intend on simply listing your home to help you sell your house fast, we can if we think that’s the best route for you. If you come to us with a property that we think you would be better off listing, meaning you can get more money and profit by putting it on the market instead of selling it for cash, we’ll let you know and help you sell your home for the best possible profit to you. However, we understand that many times when individuals contact us, they don’t have the time to list their house and are looking for a quick cash offer. In those cases, we are still able and willing to offer you a fair cash offer for your Southern Indiana home. Our goal is to serve you in the way that helps you the most. We don’t look at you as profit, we look at you as a real person who needs help in a tough situation. We promise to always do business with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: A typical real estate agent only lists properties in hopes they will sell. The average time to sell a home when listing with an agent varies, but right now it’s 4-6 months AND the agent then takes a percentage of the sale price (oftentimes 3-6%) as their fee and their broker’s fee for listing, showing, and selling your home. For example, if you list a $100,000 home with an agent, you’ll pay them $3,000-$6,000 off of the sale of your home in commissions to the agent.
We don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing and know that there is a time and place for using an agent, however, if you’re here, we know you’re looking to sell your house fast for cash and don’t want to mess with waiting to sell or giving the listing agent a commission. Having an agent on our team, we fully believe and know that agents are invaluable for those that can wait several months for their house to sell.
But that’s where We Flip Houses is different. We’re cash home buyers right in your community. We buy your house directly from you. Because we don’t deal with banks and pay cash for your home directly to you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a small amount of time (sometimes the same day you contact us). We make our living and provide for the families of our team by taking the risk to buy your house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.

Q: As a Southern Indiana cash home buyer, do you pay fair prices for homes and properties?
A: While it’s true that many times we purchase homes at below market value, we do this because we are taking a risk by investing our cash. But, we still strive to give you a fair offer for your home. In order to help as many families as possible and provide for our team of hard-working individuals who work day in and day out to help families get out of tough situations, we have to make a profit when we resell it another homeowner. When people come to us to sell their house fast, they often aren’t looking for a large “windfall” they’re looking to get immediate help for a property that is costing them money every month in utilities, mortgage, and more. Instead, they are appreciative of the fact that we are able to offer cash, and close very quickly (as early as 7 days) and no time. Plus we require no effort, expense, or time from on your part to get the property ready to sell. 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. When you get a cash offer for your Southern Indiana home, you have no obligation to move forward with or accept the offer we give. However, we believe it’s a good idea to know how we’re able to help you when you’re looking to sell your Southern Indiana home!

Q: What is your process for determining the cash offer for my Southern Indiana Home?
A: We love this question, and we’re an open book on how we come up cash offers for homes near you. Our process is very straightforward. We take into consideration the location of the property, the cost to us of the repairs that are needed, the current condition of the property (does it need a full hoarded clean out, etc), and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. After considering all of the information gathered above we come up with a fair price for your home that works for us and works for you, too.
Q: Do I have to pay you fees or commissions if I choose to go with you?
A: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. If you listed your house traditionally, you’d see fees of up to 6% that come out of your pocket. When we buy your house with cash, we’ll make you an offer and, if you accept, then we’ll proceed with no hassles and no fees for you. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it. We’re taking the risks here on whether we make profit or not after all clean outs and repairs are done. Once you sell your house fast for cash to us, the responsibility is now ours and you are able to walk away with cash in your hand and without the burden of repairs and monthly utilities, payments, and more.
Q: When I give you my information am I locked into selling my home to you?
A: When you contact us about selling your Southern Indiana home fast, you are not obligated in any form to move forward with our fair cash offer for your home. After you tell us a few things about your property, we’ll do some research (see the process for determining our cash offer for your home above), 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.
Q. Do I really not have to clean my house out or do any repairs when I sell to you?
No, you really do not have to do any repairs or do any cleaning or junk removal. Our only request when it comes to cleaning out your house before you sell it is for you to remove anything that you’d like to keep. We want to make selling your house in Southern Indiana as easy as possible for you. Simply remove any items that you’d like to keep (not including items that were included in the contract—furnace, appliances, etc) and we’ll handle the rest. You do not have to worry about any clean up, even if your home was hoarded.
Q. I’m embarrassed for you to see the state of my home. Do you really buy homes in all conditions?
Yes, we really do pay cash for homes in all conditions. We promise to treat you with dignity, respect, and kindness throughout this entire process. We’ve seen and purchased houses in all conditions—floor-to-ceiling hoards, holes in all walls, etc—and we are not afraid of the work it takes to restore your home so it can be enjoyed by the next family. You are in safe hands with us.
Q. Who do you buy houses from and who benefits most from your services?
We’ll buy houses from anyone who needs our assistance. We have found that most people who are looking to sell houses fast for cash are in one of a few situations. They’re elderly and no longer need the home, are in the middle of a divorce, are in foreclosure, have recently lost a spouse, are looking to move quickly, or are dealing with an estate after the lost of a loved one. Regardless of the reason you looking to sell your Southern Indiana home fast, we’re here and will let you know if we think we can help you in your unique situation.
