Frequently Asked Questions
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: Is this legit? How do I know you’re a real company?
A: Absolutely. Sell My House Fast Now is a licensed real estate investment company based in Fort Worth, TX. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Texas sell their properties quickly and without hassle. You can check our reviews, find us on Google Business, Facebook, and Yelp, or simply call us at (800) 467-0003 to speak with someone directly. There’s no pressure and no obligation, we want you to feel completely comfortable before moving forward.
Q: How fast can you actually close?
A: We can often make you a cash offer within 24–48 hours of learning about your property. From there, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on whatever timeline works best for you. Because we pay cash, there’s no waiting on bank financing or drawn-out approval processes. If you need more time, that’s fine too. We work around your schedule.
Q: Will I get a fair price for my home?
A: We’ll always make you an honest, straightforward offer based on the condition, location, and market value of your home. Our offers are typically below retail market value because we cover all repairs, fees, and carrying costs ourselves, but many sellers find the speed, certainty, and zero-hassle process is well worth it. And since there’s no obligation, you’re always free to compare and decide what’s best for you.
Q: Are there any hidden fees or commissions?
A: None. Zero. When you sell to us, you pay no agent commissions, no closing costs, and no surprise fees. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with. We make our profit later — by repairing and reselling the home ourselves, so you never have to worry about deductions eating into your payout.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: we buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the property’s location, needed repairs, current condition, and the values of recently sold comparable houses in the area. We take many factors into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and for you, too.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6–12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3–6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those who can wait 6–12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day).
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look, maybe set up a call to learn more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision whether you’d like to sell your house to us, and we won’t hassle or harass you. It’s completely your call, and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
