Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you might have a few questions, and that’s completely normal—most people do! To help, we’ve put together a list of common inquiries along with our answers. We’re here to provide clarity and support, so if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be more than happy to assist you!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: That’s a great question! At Wenatchee Home Buyers, we are professional home buyers focused on purchasing properties in Wenatchee that meet our criteria. Since we don’t rely on bank financing, you can trust that we have the capability to close the deal smoothly. Once we purchase a home, we may make any necessary repairs before reselling it to another homeowner or keeping it as a rental ourselves. Your peace of mind is our priority!
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents typically list properties and wait for buyers to come along, often showing homes to interested parties over a period that can stretch from 4 to 6 months in many markets. When they successfully find a buyer, they take a commission, which usually ranges from 3% to 6% of the sale price. For example, if your home sells for $100,000, you could end up paying between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions.
While agents provide valuable services for those who can afford to wait and don’t mind sharing a portion of their sale price, we operate differently. At Wenatchee Home Buyers, we’re home buyers, not agents. We buy houses directly from you. Because we pay in cash, we can make a decision to purchase your home within days—sometimes even on the same day! Our business model is based on taking the risk to buy your house with our own cash, handling any necessary repairs, and then marketing it ourselves to find a new buyer. This means a faster, hassle-free process for you!
If you’d like a clearer breakdown, here’s a comparison chart to help illustrate the differences:

| Closing Date: | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the homes we purchase are below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit to another homeowner. We seek a fair discount on properties, and in our experience, many sellers aren’t expecting a huge windfall. Instead, they value our ability to offer cash and close quickly—no waiting for financing. Plus, there’s no need for you to invest time, effort, or money into repairs or agent fees.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: That’s a great question, and we’re happy to share! Our process is straightforward and transparent. We assess several factors, including the property’s location, the necessary repairs, its current condition, and the recent sales of comparable homes in the area. By considering all these elements, we arrive at a fair price that benefits both you and us.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: What sets us apart from the traditional method of selling your house is our commitment to a hassle-free experience with NO fees or commissions when you sell directly to us. Unlike the typical listing fees that can take up to 6% out of your proceeds, we make you a straightforward offer, and if it’s a good fit, we’ll purchase your home without any extra costs. Often, we even cover the closing costs!
Our business model means we earn our profit after investing in repairs and selling the home ourselves, taking on the risk of whether we can sell it for a profit. Once we buy your house, the responsibility shifts to us. You can walk away without the burden of property payments and with cash in hand—simple and stress-free!
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There’s absolutely no obligation on your part! Once you share some details about your property, we’ll review the information and may set up a call to learn more. After that, we’ll provide you with a fair all-cash offer that benefits both you and us. From there, the choice is entirely yours—whether to sell your house to us or not. You decide what’s best for you!
