Questions About the Home Buying Process

We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We pay cash for homes and help clients who want to sell now move quickly. After we buy homes for cash we take some time to make repairs and updates, before either selling it or renting it out. There are many companies that buy houses near Jackson, but we pride ourselves on being the most helpful and easy to work with and enjoy helping clients looking for fast homebuyers.

At Atlas, we buy any property in as-is condition. This helps our clients move on without the stress of making tireless repairs and costly maintenance. When we buy homes as is we allow distressed home owners who want to sell now the ability to move on and make a profit off the sale of their home. We have helped owners sell their homes fast no matter the condition or situation.

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 home values in the area. It isn't as simple as looking at Zillow home values in the area, but give us 24 hours and we will be able to have your cash offer ready!

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 to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if you like it we can close in as little as 14 days. We pay the closing costs to help you get the most cash for your home. 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 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… not to mention with cash in your hand).

The short answer is yes...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 – $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 of days (sometimes the same day).

This process is why you can sell your house without a realtor, direct home buyers make it possible to get the most cash for your home and on your timeline!

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 and won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
