Questions You May Have About The Offer…

People First House Buyers buys houses in and around San Diego (and other areas too!). We’re not listing your house… we’re actually the ones buying your home. Because we pay cash and because we are buying your San Diego home directly, we’re able to close quickly… or on your schedule.

Like we’ve mentioned, when you work with us there are no fees and no commissions… like there are when you list your house with an agent. What this means to you is you don’t have to worry about extra costs, having to come out of pocket to sell your house fast, or even getting your house ready for a sale (we’ll buy your house as-is).

Don’t worry about repairing or cleaning up your property. We’ll buy your house in as-is condition… no matter how ugly or pretty it is… no matter the location.

Will I get a low-ball offer?

Our goal is to provide you with the most fair offer possible. Unlike other buyers or the big tech giants, we’re transparent with how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process and happy to walk you through how it works. We have a simple formula that explains exactly how we arrived at the number. Here’s an example.

Say your house is worth $650,000 as is, fair market value.

After repair value (what your home would sell for after upgrades, landscaping) = $900,000

Repair costs (remodeling, repairs, replacing roofs, etc.) = $125,000

Selling costs (taxes, insurance, utilities, advertising, realtor commissions) = $100,000

Profit (this is our business so we have to make a minimum profit to stay in business) = $100,000

[$900,000] – [$125,000] – [$100,000] – [$100,000] = $575,000

What does “as-is” mean?

That means you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, etc. after we purchase your home. That factors into out offer but what that means for you is that is it saves you the money and the headache, time, uncertain timelines associated with getting your home ready to sell, no construction dust or living without a bathroom.

What does “all-cash offer” mean?

All cash means exactly that – all cash! Because we are real estate investors who are purchasing your home directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. That means no waiting on mortgage brokers or banks to do credit checks or debt to income calculations. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of financing falling through or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive if you sell us your San Diego home.

How “fast” is a “fast closing?”

After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. After that, we can close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!

What if I don’t need a “fast closing?”

At People First, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing because you want to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc – we can schedule the closing on the day that works best for you! We will not push our agenda on you at any stage, if working with us is not in your best interests we’re happy to help you in different ways.
