How do you determine your offer price?
We look at recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, the property's current condition, estimated repair costs, and our own holding and closing costs. From there we calculate a fair cash price that works for both you and us.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses in as-is condition. You do not need to clean, repair, or even remove unwanted items — we factor the property's current condition into our offer.
What if I still owe money on my mortgage?
That's very common. At closing, the title company pays off your existing mortgage balance directly from the sale proceeds, and you receive whatever equity remains.
Are you a licensed real estate agent or broker?
No. Arizona Real Estate Wholesaling is a wholesale cash buyer, not a licensed real estate brokerage. We operate under A.R.S. § 44-5101 and may assign our purchase contract to a third-party investor buyer.
How is this different from selling with a realtor?
A realtor lists your home on the open market, which typically involves repairs, showings, staging, and commissions of 5-6%, with a sale that can take 45-90 days. We make a direct cash offer, charge no commissions, and can close in as little as 7-14 days.
What does "wholesaling" mean?
Wholesaling means we enter into a purchase agreement with you as the seller, and we may then assign, sell, or otherwise transfer our equitable interest in that contract to a third-party investor buyer in exchange for a fee. This is a legal, regulated activity under Arizona law (A.R.S. § 44-5101).
Can you help if I'm in foreclosure?
Yes. We regularly work with homeowners facing pre-foreclosure or who are behind on payments. A fast cash sale can sometimes be completed before a scheduled trustee sale, though timing depends on your specific situation — see our
foreclosure page for more detail.
Is there any obligation once I get an offer?
None at all. Requesting and reviewing an offer is completely free, and you are never obligated to accept it or to sell your property.
How fast can we close?
Many of our transactions close in 7-14 days through a licensed title company, but you can choose a longer timeline if that better fits your needs.
What if my house needs major repairs?
Major repairs are exactly the kind of situation we specialize in — foundation problems, roof damage, outdated electrical or plumbing, fire damage, or code violations. We factor repair costs into our offer rather than asking you to fix anything first.
Will I get as much money as listing on the open market?
Typically our cash offer will be below full retail market value, since we account for repairs, holding costs, and the certainty and speed we provide. In exchange, you avoid commissions, repair costs, showings, and the risk of a sale falling through.
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no commissions, no closing cost fees charged by us, and no hidden charges. The offer you accept is designed to be the amount you walk away with, less any existing liens or mortgage payoff.
What if there are multiple heirs or owners on the property?
We work with co-owners and heirs regularly. All owners of record generally need to agree to the sale and sign closing documents, and we can help coordinate that process, including with out-of-state heirs.
What if the property is tenant-occupied?
We can often purchase tenant-occupied properties. Let us know about the lease terms and tenant situation when you submit your property details so we can factor that into our offer and closing plan.
What if I'm behind on property taxes?
Delinquent property taxes are common and are typically resolved at closing out of sale proceeds, similar to a mortgage payoff. Let us know your situation so we can plan accordingly.
Do you buy land or only houses?
We primarily focus on single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-family properties, but we also consider vacant land and mobile homes on a case-by-case basis.
How do you handle a home that needs to be sold quickly due to divorce or relocation?
We understand these situations require speed and discretion. We can typically provide an offer within 24 hours and structure a closing date that accommodates a divorce settlement deadline or relocation timeline.
What areas of Arizona do you buy in?
We buy houses throughout the greater Phoenix metro and beyond, including Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Casa Grande, Maricopa, Coolidge, and Tucson.
Will you list my house on the MLS?
No. We are not a brokerage, so we do not list properties on the MLS. We are a direct cash/wholesale buyer that either purchases your property or assigns the purchase contract to another investor buyer.
What happens after I submit my property information?
Our team reviews the details, may follow up with a few questions or a property visit, and typically presents a written cash offer within 24 hours. From there, the timeline is entirely up to you.
What if I have a reverse mortgage?
We can often help. Reverse mortgages typically become due when the home is sold, and the payoff is handled at closing similar to a traditional mortgage, with any remaining equity going to you or the estate. Let us know the details so we can plan accordingly.
What if my property has mold or asbestos?
We regularly buy homes with mold, suspected asbestos, or other environmental concerns. We factor remediation costs into our offer rather than requiring you to test or remediate anything before selling.
Can you close before my bankruptcy is final?
Bankruptcy can affect your ability to sell and the required approvals, depending on the type of filing and where you are in the process. We can often work around this, but you should also speak with your bankruptcy attorney to confirm what's permitted in your specific case.
What if there are multiple heirs and we don't agree?
This is common with inherited property. Generally all owners of record need to consent to a sale, so when heirs disagree, it often helps to have a neutral third party (like us, or a probate attorney) walk through the numbers and options with everyone involved.
Will you buy a mobile home or manufactured home?
Yes, we consider mobile and manufactured homes case by case, including whether the home is on owned land, leased land, or in a manufactured home community, since that affects how the sale is structured.
What about commercial property?
Our primary focus is residential property, but we occasionally consider small commercial or mixed-use properties. Reach out with details and we can let you know if it's a fit.
Can I sell if I'm in the middle of a remodel?
Yes. Partially completed remodels are common, and we factor the current state of construction into our offer rather than requiring you to finish or undo any work.
What if my house has been vandalized or stripped?
We regularly buy homes that have been vandalized or stripped of fixtures, wiring, or plumbing. These situations are exactly what our as-is cash offer process is built for.
Do you buy land or just houses?
In addition to single-family homes, condos, and townhomes, we consider vacant land, unbuildable lots, and raw parcels on a case-by-case basis, though pricing and timelines can differ significantly from a home purchase.
What if the property has a squatter?
Unauthorized occupants can complicate a sale and may need to be resolved through the proper legal process before or as part of closing. Let us know about the situation early so we can help you understand your options.
What if I don't have the deed or original title paperwork?
That's okay. A title company can pull the recorded deed and run a title search independent of your personal paperwork, so missing documents are rarely a dealbreaker.
What if the house is held in a trust?
We work with trust-owned properties regularly. The trustee named in the trust document generally has authority to sign the sale documents, and a title company can confirm what's needed for your specific trust.
Do you charge anything for an inspection or walkthrough?
No. Any walkthrough or inspection we do to prepare your offer is free and comes with no obligation to accept the offer that follows.
What if my home has solar panels I'm still financing or leasing?
Financed or leased solar panels need to be addressed at closing, either by paying off the loan/lease or transferring it to the buyer where allowed. Let us know your solar arrangement so we can factor it into the offer and closing plan.
Can you buy my house if it's currently listed with an agent?
It depends on your listing agreement. If your home is under an active listing contract, you may owe a commission if you sell outside that agreement, so we'd recommend checking with your agent or reading your contract terms first.
What if there's a lien from a contractor or the HOA?
Contractor liens and HOA liens are typically resolved at closing out of sale proceeds, similar to a mortgage payoff, as long as there's enough equity to cover them. Let us know about any known liens upfront.
How do you value a home when there aren't many recent comparable sales nearby?
In areas with limited recent comps, we widen our search radius and look at slightly older sales, adjusting for market trends, while also weighing the property's condition and any unique characteristics more heavily.
What if I live out of state and can't be there in person?
That's very common, especially with inherited property. We can handle most of the process remotely, and closing documents can typically be signed via mobile notary or remote online notarization.
Can I still sell if I have a home equity line of credit (HELOC)?
Yes. A HELOC balance is paid off at closing from sale proceeds just like a first mortgage, and you receive whatever equity remains after all liens are satisfied.
What if my house is in a flood zone or has drainage issues?
We factor flood zone designation and known drainage problems into our offer rather than asking you to resolve them first. Let us know what you're aware of so we can research it properly.
Do you buy properties with pools that need repair?
Yes, a pool needing resurfacing, equipment repair, or full renovation doesn't disqualify a property — we simply account for that repair cost in our offer.
What if the home was a rental and the tenant caused damage?
Tenant damage is a common situation for landlords selling a rental. We factor repair costs into our offer and can work with the property in its current, as-is condition.
Can I stay in the house for a short time after closing?
In many cases, yes — a short rent-back period after closing can sometimes be arranged so you have extra time to move. Let us know if this matters for your situation so we can discuss options.
What if my property has unpermitted additions or work?
Unpermitted work is common and doesn't automatically disqualify a property. We factor the risk and potential cost of addressing it into our offer rather than requiring you to obtain permits retroactively.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. We do not publicly list your property or share your personal details, which can matter for sensitive situations like divorce, financial hardship, or a discreet inherited-property sale.
What if I get a higher offer from someone else after I've accepted yours?
Until you've signed a purchase agreement, you're free to consider other offers. Once under contract, the terms of that specific agreement govern the transaction, so it's worth reading any contract carefully before signing.
Do you work with expired real estate listings?
Yes. A home that didn't sell while listed traditionally is often a good candidate for a cash offer, especially if the reason it didn't sell was condition, price expectations, or timeline.
What if my house has a pending code violation or citation?
We regularly buy properties with open code violations and factor the cost of resolving them into our offer, which can be a faster path than bringing the property into compliance yourself.
Can you buy a duplex or triplex?
Yes, small multi-family properties like duplexes and triplexes fall within what we typically purchase, including occupied units with existing tenants.
What happens if a title search reveals a problem with the property?
If the title company finds an issue, like an old lien, a missing signature on a prior deed, or a boundary discrepancy, we work with the title company and, where needed, an attorney to resolve it before closing rather than walking away from a fixable problem.
