FAQ

Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. So here’s a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us… along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.

Q: Are you a credible company?         
A: As a consumer myself I understand the importance of vetting who you do business with. We are a local business and consistently buy 3-4 houses a month. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a 5 Star Rating with Google.

Q: Is there any obligation when I receive an offer?
A: None. There is absolutely zero obligation for you.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Yes. Our philosophy is rooted in creating mutually beneficial transactions to better our communities. Our offers are based upon comparable sales of properties in like condition.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: No. When we make you an offer we cover all of the closing costs, doc fees, and even the title companies fees as well. This is spelled out in your Purchase and Sales Agreement.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We look at the location of the property,  the current condition of the property, what repairs are needed, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We use this information to determine a fair price that works for us and works for you too.

Q: Do I need to make any repairs?
A: We purchase the property in as-is condition meaning just the way it is. No need to make any repairs.

Q: How long does the sale take?
A: In most cases it can be done in as little as 7 days. We work with your timeline though so just let us know!

Q: What if I need to occupy the house after the sale takes place?
A: That’s no problem! Just fill us in on your needs and we’ll tailor the sale to meet them.

Q: What if I need some proceeds before the sale?
A: That’s no problem. We can accomodate you, just let us know the situation.

Q: What is a title company?
A: The title company reviews the property title to make sure there are no liens or judgements that would interfere with the sale. They draft up the final sale documents to sign and are responsible for handling the sale (commonly known as the closing).

Q: Is my offer the amount I’ll get at the closing?
A: We cover all buyer and seller closing costs. You are only responsible for your final utility bills and the property taxes up to the date of the sale.

Q: What is a closing?
A: It’s the final step in a real estate transaction. At the closing both parties sign the sale documents. The ownership of the property is transferred to the buyer and the proceeds are distributed to the seller(s). You can receive your proceeds in a check or they can be wired directly into your bank account.

Q: How soon will my cash be available in my bank account?
A: Your funds are available immediately if you receive a wire. If you receive a check, then your bank decides whether or not they place a hold on your funds. This is typically why people choose a wire, but it is totally up to you.

Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. We make you a cash offer to purchase your home as-is and on your timeline. Click the link to see the comparison between selling with an agent VS selling to us.

Q: Why do you do an inspection if you buy as-is?
A: It’s a large investment to buy a house and we inspect the property to make sure there are no major issues we couldn’t see during the initial property tour.

Testimonial

"Dealing with Murphy Home Buyers was the most positive, professional RE transaction I've had."

"Dealing with Murphy Home Buyers (MHB) was the most positive, professional RE transaction I've had since buying my first home in 1974. I've dealt in RE in five states and four foreign countries since then. Mostly I've been lucky to work with good people. My first impression of MHB was that they're too good to be true, they respond promptly, communicate well and most of all they do what they say. I dealt exclusively with Mark Watson of MHB and his consistently effective responsiveness convinced me that they are truly as good as they seem. Mark always followed up and followed through to make sure I got the deal I wanted. When an issue did arise he stepped up even though it didn't directly involve him. It was a pleasure doing business with dependable professionals."
