You likely have a few questions about selling your NC property, and that’s totally normal!
To make your decision easier, here’s a list of common questions we hear from homeowners, along with our straightforward answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us or give us a call, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We are not real estate agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers. We purchase houses directly, like yours, in Durham that meet our buying criteria. After buying, we may either repair the property and resell it or keep it as a rental. It’s a fast, simple, and hassle-free process for you.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Yes! While we often buy properties below market value (so we can resell or renovate them for profit), we aim to offer a fair price for your property. We understand that many homeowners prefer to sell quickly without the stress and costs of repairs, agent fees, and long waiting times. Our all-cash offers are designed to save you time, money, and hassle. Plus, there’s no obligation to accept the offer. We’re happy to provide a fair offer so you can make the best decision for your situation.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We base our offer on several factors: the location, the current condition of the house, any necessary repairs, and the sale prices of comparable properties in the area. We take the time to gather all the information needed to provide a fair offer that benefits both parties. Our goal is to create a win-win situation where you can sell your house fast without any hidden fees or complications.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Absolutely not! One of the major advantages of working with Bright Home Offer is that there are no fees or commissions to pay. We buy houses directly from homeowners, and our offer is what you’ll get. In fact, we often cover all of the closing costs for you. With us, there are no agent commissions, no hidden fees—just a straightforward cash offer and a fast, easy closing process.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: The main difference is that we buy your house directly, while real estate agents list your house and hope for a buyer. Agents typically take 3-6% commission on the sale price, and that’s before you consider other costs like repairs, cleaning, or holding fees. We eliminate all of that. We offer cash for your house, take on all the risk, and can close quickly—often in as little as 7 days. You don’t have to wait months, pay commission, or deal with multiple buyers. With us, it’s quick, simple, and hassle-free.
Q: How long will it take to sell my house?
A: When you work with us, the sale happens quickly. After receiving your information, we can make you a cash offer within 24 hours. Once you accept, you could be closing in as little as 7 days! No waiting months for financing or dealing with unpredictable buyers.

Q: Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?
A: No, you don’t need to make any repairs or cleaning. We buy houses as-is, regardless of their condition. Whether your property needs major renovations or just a little sprucing up, we’ll take care of it. You don’t have to spend time or money getting your house ready to sell.
Q: Will I have to pay any closing costs or other fees?
A: One of the best benefits of working with Bright Home Offer is that we cover all closing costs. We don’t charge you any fees or commissions. The cash offer we make is exactly what you’ll get (minus any mortgage payoff or liens on the property). No surprises, no hidden fees—just a straightforward deal.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely no obligation when you submit your information. Once we review your details, we’ll reach out with a fair all-cash offer. You’re free to accept or decline—there’s no pressure at all. If you’re not ready to sell, no worries. We’re happy to provide you with an offer so you have all your options in front of you.
Q: Why should I sell my house to an investor like Bright Home Offer instead of listing with a realtor?
A: Selling to a professional investor like Bright Home Offer offers several benefits over listing with a realtor:
- Speed: We can close in as little as 7 days, while selling with a realtor could take 3-6 months.
- No fees or commissions: You won’t pay agent commissions, which can be 6% or more of the sale price.
- No repairs or cleaning: We buy houses as-is—no need to spend money or time fixing things up.
- No waiting: You won’t have to deal with inspections, appraisals, or long negotiations.
- Certainty: When you accept our offer, you’re guaranteed to close. No waiting for buyers to get financing or deal with uncertainties.
Q: Do you buy houses with mortgages or liens?
A: Yes, we do! If your property has a mortgage, liens, or unpaid taxes, we can still work with you. We’ll make a fair cash offer that factors in the existing liens or mortgage balance. We can take care of the lien payoff during the closing process, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Q: Do I need to attend the closing?
A: No, you do not need to attend the closing. We handle everything for you, including the paperwork and transaction details. The process is designed to be as easy and convenient as possible for you. You can sign the closing documents remotely, and we’ll ensure everything is taken care of. You don’t need to worry about anything except getting your check!
Q: What happens after I accept your offer?
A: Once you accept our offer, we will set a closing date that works for you. We handle all the paperwork, and you can receive your payment in as little as 7 days. We make it as easy as possible for you to sell your house without all the stress and delays.
