FAQ | Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Sell your house fast can be a big decision, and we’re here to make sure you have all the information you need. Below are some of the most common questions we get from homeowners like you (FAQ).
How fast can I sell my house?
We can present a cash offer within 24 hours, and depending on your needs, we can close in as little as 7 days. We work on your schedule to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Do I need to make repairs or clean up before selling?
No! We buy homes as-is, so you don’t have to worry about repairs, cleaning, or staging. Just leave the property as it is, and we’ll handle the rest.
How do you determine the cash offer?
We base our offer on the current condition of the property, the local market, and recent sales of similar homes in your area. Our goal is to provide a fair and transparent offer that works for both parties.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. Unlike traditional home sales, we don’t charge any fees or commissions. The cash offer we provide is what you’ll receive at closing—no hidden costs.
What types of homes do you buy?
We buy all kinds of properties, including single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, and even properties in distressed condition or facing foreclosure. No matter the situation, we can help.
What if I’m behind on payments or in foreclosure?
We specialize in helping homeowners in difficult financial situations, including those behind on mortgage payments or in foreclosure. We can help you avoid foreclosure and move forward with a fast, hassle-free sale.
How does the closing process work?
Once you accept our offer, we handle all the paperwork and coordinate the closing with a local title company. You simply sign the documents, and the sale is completed, often within a week.
Do I need to move out immediately after closing?
Not necessarily. We’re flexible and can work with you to arrange a move-out date that fits your timeline, whether you need to stay a little longer or are ready to go right away.
What’s the benefit of selling to STL House Buyers instead of listing with a real estate agent?

How do I get started?
It’s simple! Contact us by phone or fill out our online form, and we’ll start by gathering some basic information about your property. From there, we’ll schedule a time to assess the home and present you with a no-obligation cash offer.
Can you still buy my house if it has liens or unpaid taxes?
Yes! We can work with you to resolve any liens, unpaid taxes, or other legal issues tied to the property. We have experience handling complex situations and will help you through the process.
What happens if I don’t like your offer?
There’s no obligation to accept our offer. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, you are free to decline, and we can discuss any other potential options that might work better for you.
Will my personal information stay private?
Yes. We respect your privacy and ensure that any personal or property-related information you share with us is kept confidential throughout the process.
Can I sell my house if it’s in probate?
Yes, we can help you sell a property that is going through probate. We understand the legal process involved and can work with you and your attorney to make the sale as smooth as possible.
Will I need a real estate agent to sell my house to you?
No, you don’t need to involve a real estate agent when selling to us. We handle everything directly, which means no commissions or fees, and the process is faster and simpler.
Do you buy mobile homes or manufactured homes?
Yes, we also purchase mobile homes and manufactured homes. As long as the property meets local requirements, we can make an offer just like we do for traditional homes.
What’s the difference between selling my home for cash and listing it on the market?
Selling for cash typically allows for a quicker, more straightforward process without repairs or fees, while listing on the market can potentially yield a higher sale price but may take longer. We offer both options to suit your needs. If you would like to list with us instead CLICK HERE
When should I consider selling my home for cash instead of listing it with a realtor?
