Frequently Asked Questions – We’ve Got Answers!
We know selling a house is a big decision, and you probably have some questions. That’s completely normal! Below are some of the most common questions homeowners ask us—along with our answers. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us anytime. We’re happy to help!
Q: Will you list my house on the MLS or actually buy it?
A: Great question! Unlike real estate agents, we don’t list houses—we buy them directly. Here at Grand House Buyers, we are professional cash home buyers: We buy houses Houston that meet our criteria. Since we buy houses with our own cash, you don’t have to worry about delays, bank approvals, or financing falling through.
Once we buy a house, we may renovate it and resell it to a new homeowner, or we may keep it as a rental investment. Either way, we make the process quick, simple, and hassle-free for you!
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Traditional real estate agents work by listing properties on the MLS and waiting for a buyer. They show homes, negotiate offers, and typically take 3% to 6% in commission fees when the house sells. In many markets, the average home sale can take 4 to 6 months—or even longer.
That’s where we’re different. We’re not agents—we’re direct home buyers. When you sell to us:
✅ No commissions or hidden fees
✅ No waiting months for a buyer
✅ No repairs, showings, or open houses
✅ No uncertainty—just a fast, fair offer
Since we pay cash, we can often make a decision within 24-48 hours and close in just a few days—sometimes even the same day. We take on the risk of buying the house, handling any necessary repairs, and reselling it on our own.
Looking for this to be broken down further? Here’s a comparison chart to give an overview:
| Selling w/ A Houston Agent | SOLD To Grand House Buyers | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees: | Up to 6%, paid by you, the seller | None |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs. |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Yes, sales can fall through. | None needed |
| Appraisal Needed: | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
| Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days | We provide immediate cash offers. |
| Number of Showings: | It Depends | 1 (Just Us) |
| 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 houses?
A: Absolutely! Our goal is to create a win-win solution for both you and us.
Since we’re professional cash home buyers, we typically purchase properties below market value so we can renovate them and resell them for a profit. However, homeowners choose to work with us because we provide something that traditional sales can’t:
✅ A fast, hassle-free sale – No waiting months for buyers
✅ An all-cash offer – No financing delays or approvals
✅ No repairs needed – Sell your home as-is, no fixing up required
✅ No agent commissions or hidden fees – Keep more money in your pocket
We understand that not every seller is looking for the highest possible price—many value the speed, convenience, and certainty we offer. If you’re in a situation where selling quickly and easily matters, we’d love to make you a no-obligation cash offer. There’s no pressure, and you’re free to decide if it’s the right fit for you!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question! We believe in transparency and fairness when making an offer. Our process takes several key factors into account, including:
✅ The location of your property
✅ The current condition of the home – No need for repairs, we buy as-is!
✅ The cost of necessary repairs and renovations
✅ Recent sales of comparable homes in Houston
✅ Market trends and demand in your area
By carefully analyzing these elements, we present you with a fair, competitive cash offer that reflects your home’s value while allowing us to make any necessary improvements before reselling. No hidden fees, no surprises—just a straightforward, honest offer.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions when working with you?
A: Nope! Zero commissions. Zero fees. Zero hassles.
When you sell your house directly to Grand House Buyers, you avoid the typical 6% agent commission and closing costs that come with listing on the market. We handle everything, from the paperwork to the closing process—we may even cover the closing costs for you!
Unlike traditional sales, where you might deal with months of uncertainty, showings, and costly repairs, we make it simple:
✔ No agent fees – Keep more of your money
✔ No closing costs – We may cover those for you
✔ No repairs needed – Sell your house exactly as it is
✔ No waiting – Get a fast, guaranteed cash offer
We make our profit after we invest in repairs and resell the property. By selling to us, you get to walk away with cash in hand and peace of mind, knowing your house is sold quickly and hassle-free.
Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?
A: Absolutely not! No pressure, no obligations.
When you reach out to us with details about your property, here’s what happens:
1️⃣ We review the information and assess your property’s value
2️⃣ We may schedule a quick call or visit to learn more
3️⃣ We present you with a no-obligation, all-cash offer
