Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.

Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at LCM Property Investments LLC, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Willow Grove that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

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 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.

Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 4+ 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 buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even 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.

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. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to 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 win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

We buy your Willow Grove home as-is, meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, and more after we purchase your home. We factor this into our offer, of course, but it saves you the money and the headache associated with getting your home ready to sell.

 

“All-cash” means exactly that – all cash for your Willow Grove home! Because we are real estate investors who are purchasing your home directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the financing falling through, or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive at closing.

 

Our objective is to extend the most equitable offer available to you. In contrast to other buyers or large tech corporations, we believe in complete transparency regarding our offer valuation. Our offer is determined by assessing the potential value of your property once essential improvements and enhancements are made. We are fully committed to transparency throughout this offer process and are delighted to guide you through its workings.

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 value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.

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 directly to us compared to listing fees, where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house 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, as well as cash in your hand.

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. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.

After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 48 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 14 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!

 

At LCM Property Investments LLC, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc., we will schedule the closing on the day that works best for you!

Yes, it is! The landscape of the real estate sector is evolving swiftly, prompting many homeowners to explore efficient, straightforward, and prompt selling options for their homes. This is precisely where we step in. We provide an alternative for homeowners who may find it challenging to list their property on the market for the best possible price due to time constraints or other limitations. Our approach involves understanding your circumstances, presenting a clear all-cash offer, and ensuring a closing process aligned with your specific timeline.”
