Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in Wichita and the surrounding areas in Kansas that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?

Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.

Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the house from you… the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments… and often with cash in your hand).

How are you different from a real estate agent?

Real estate agents or realtors 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 take 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 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that 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 days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).

Is there any obligation when I submit my info?

There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.

5 Things To Know About Buying Wholesale Properties in Wichita

Interested in getting a great deal on a Wichita house? Working with the right property wholesaler can save you thousands on your real estate purchases! In our latest post, we will discuss 5 things to know about buying wholesale properties in Wichita.

Are you interested in buying property at wholesale prices in Wichita? Doing so can provide you with excellent profits, but there are also a few things you should be aware of. Below, we discuss what you can expect and what you should look for when buying a wholesale property in Wichita or the surrounding areas.

What Can It Offer?

Buying property at wholesale prices can be an investor or rehabbers dream come true. When you work with the right wholesaler in Wichita, you’ll be able to avoid the legwork and negotiations involved when trying to find these deals yourself. When you find the right one, you will build a rapport and relationship. They’ll know what to look for and you will know the quality of properties you can expect from them.

Not All Wholesalers Are The Same

There are all kinds of people who claim to offer Wichita real estate at wholesale prices. While some know what they are doing and have the experience to back it up, others are new to the game and are just looking to make a quick buck. At Kansas Home Guys we strive to get to know our clients and understand their selling goals. We’ll work with you, finding the properties you are looking to flip or add to your portfolio.

Inspecting The Property

When making any real estate investment, you’ll need to do your due-diligence. Have an inspection done or perform one yourself as long as you know what to look for. The inspection should cover all major components of the property. Anything your inspector is unsure about should be handled by a specialist. Remember, your inspector can typically only inspect what they can see and what their tools will allow for. In some instances, a second opinion is needed! From there, get estimates from local contractors as to how much the repairs will cost you. By performing the inspection up front, you won’t have to worry about unseen setbacks down the road. You’ll be able to know what to expect and how to budget accordingly.

Get Comps

Many times, wholesalers will shoot out numbers based on their own personal estimates. While these estimated can be educated, it is ultimately up to you to decide if you are receiving a good deal or not. Your wholesaler will likely provide you with some comps and market information, however, it doesn’t hurt to find some of your own. Try to get 3 solid comps for your prospective property both before and after the repairs are made.

Check The Title

It’s important to hire a professional company to perform a title search before making your purchase. You don’t want to find out after the fact that there are liens affecting the property. Some investors will rush into purchasing a wholesale property from an inexperienced wholesaler, not realizing the property also comes with a cloudy title! Just like when buying a property from a private buyer, it’s important to do your due diligence and your homework before signing a contract to buy!
