Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Almost anything: outdated homes, homes that need major repairs, homes with fire or water damage, inherited homes, homes in foreclosure, divorce situations, vacant homes, homes with difficult tenants, homes with liens or back taxes.

No. We are direct buyers. We are buying it ourselves with our own funds to renovate or hold as a rental. We are not agents, and we are not wholesaling your contract to someone else without telling you.

None. We pay all standard closing costs: no agent commissions, no service fees, no junk fees. The number we offer is the amount you get at closing, minus any mortgage payoff or liens you already have.

Yes, if you compare it to a fully renovated house sold on the open market. You are trading some equity for speed, convenience, and zero repair, commission, and closing costs. For many sellers, the net walk-away is surprisingly similar once you add up agent fees (5-6%), closing costs, holding costs, and $30k-$80k in repairs.

Cash or private funds. We provide proof of funds with our offer—no banks, no appraisals, no loan committees that can say no at the last minute.

The quick answer to this question is no; there is no obligation on your part when you request a visit from us.  You shouldn’t sell your home if you don’t want to.  There is never an obligation to accept our offer.

At Advance Investors, we consider a few factors when putting an offer on the table for your house. Being this thorough throughout the assessment process ensures that our offers are transparent at every step. At Advance Investors, our goal is to keep things simple and stress-free for our customers.

During our in-person visit, our employee will carefully evaluate the following:

• The current condition of your home.
• How your home’s value stacks up against similar properties in your area.
• The extent and cost of any necessary repairs for resale.
• The time needed to get those repairs done.
• The ongoing expenses for maintaining the home during repairs, such as:
  • Insurance
  • Utilities
  • Homeowner’s dues
  • Taxes
  • Miscellaneous

The Quick answer is no. When you accept our offer, we don’t change any commissions or add hidden fees. At Advance Investors, we strive for transparency to ensure that your selling experience is stress-free and straightforward.

When you sell your home to Advance Investors, we can sometimes close in as little as 3 weeks after you accept our offer.

Many factors can affect the timeline for closing a house. The first step is to schedule the initial consultation, during which we can come over to assess your home and answer any questions. Next, we’ll take the information we gathered and make you an
offer within a few business days. After you’ve signed a contract with us, you’ll have 3 days to consider your decision. We can get you to closing fast. At Advance Investors, we do our best to work within a closing timeline that meets our customers' needs. In many cases, from beginning to end, you can sell your home in just a month.

The quick answer is yes.  We’re there for that property owner who wants to sell a house quickly and doesn’t have the resources or time to make repairs or updates.  A one-size-fits-all solution for selling your home, we make the process easy no matter what your reason for selling. 

It means you don’t have to fix, clean, or even empty anything. We buy the house in its current condition — peeling paint, leaky roof, hoarder situation, bad tenants, code violations, inherited junk — all of it. What you see is what we buy.

Speed, certainty, and no out-of-pocket costs. A traditional sale can take 60-120 days, requires showings, inspections, repairs, and can fall through if the buyer’s financing fails. In most circumstances, we can close in as little as 7 days, and our offer doesn’t depend on a bank.

Yes, that’s exactly what we specialize in. The worse the condition, the more sense an as-is sale often makes, because a traditional buyer can’t get a loan on it.

We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. At closing, we clearly explain that you have a three-day window to reconsider. If you change your mind during this period, contact our office to cancel the contract.
