Will you list my house or actually buy it?

How do Houston home buyers differ from local real estate agents?

When you work with a real estate agent, they list the property for you and market your house to find a buyer. They set up showings, open houses and network in order to find an end buyer. As compensation for this work, both the selling and buying agent take a Realtor’s commission fee of roughly 3% each to total 6% of the sale price. In addition to the 6% commission fee, a 2% closing cost is paid to the title company. When you have the time to find the right buyer, working with an agent is a great option especially if your home is in good condition. However, it is important to weigh the costs carefully. A long listing period comes with mounting costs that can drag down your overall profit.

Keep in mind that it takes an average of 6-12 months to sell a home from start to finish in most markets. This means 6-12 more months of payments, utilities, taxes, upkeep etc. If you do not have the time to wait, or wish to move hassle free, Flash Realty Solutions is a great alternative option to the traditional route. We purchase homes as-is, pay cash and cover traditional closing costs without assessing a Realtor’s commission fee. Moreover, we can move quickly and close on your timeline.

Is there any obligation after I provide my info for a quote?

There is NO obligation until you formally accept an offer. Our process is very simple.

• You tell us about your house
• We do research and set up an in-person appointment
• If your home fits our buying criteria, we make an offer
• We work together to find a solution that works for all parties

From there, it’s 100% up to you whether to accept our cash offer. You should feel confident in and comfortable with your decision. When we buy houses in Houston, we strive to ensure everyone is comfortable and doing what is best for them.

How fast is your process?

We can close on your Houston Area home in as little as 7 days or as soon as you are ready. We understand that you want to sell your house fast and will work with you on a timeline that fits your schedule and needs. If you have a day in mind or a delay is needed to pack or prepare for moving, we can also arrange for that. We even offer moving assistance up to $500 to make the transition easier.
