Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do! We welcome any and all questions, and pride ourselves on complete transparency to sell your house. So here’s a quick collection of some commonly asked questions about real estate investing, along with our expert answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to reach out to us (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to provide you with the information you need.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Q: How do you determine the price to offer to buy my house?
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: At Bean Home Buyers, we’re not your typical investor or agent. We take a unique approach to help you sell your house in a way that aligns with your goals. We take the time to get to know you, understand your unique situation, and tailor one or more buying options for you, so that you can make the best decision for yourself. If you’re seeking a quick and hassle-free process, easy peasy, we will make you a cash offer, and can purchase your house in just 7-10 days (or on your timeline!).
If you are in a difficult financial situation and a straight cash offer isn’t the best bet for you, we can present a couple of creative options to meet your needs and sell your house. We are problem solvers and want to help you sell your house.
But we fully understand you may not want a fast cash offer to sell your house. Speed and convenience may not be your top priority. That’s why working with us is so great. We can offer you more than one option to sell your house. Your house may be one that can feasibly be listed on the market for top dollar. If your priority is maximizing your profits, our cutting-edge marketing strategy can ensure a faster sale of your Pensacola property compared to traditional real estate agents.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: This is the most commonly asked question. We get it, you don’t want to “give the house away”. But, like you, we have mouths to feed as well. So, many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell at a profit to another homeowner). So, yes, 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, close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no effort or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. We aren’t looking to “low ball” you with an insulting cash offer. We don’t just pick a ridiculously low number off the top of our head and go with that. We take the time to carefully walk the property, take extensive notes, come up with an estimate to rehab/renovate the property, and decide the best course of action after we buy it. Then, and only then, do we make you a cash offer based on the overall condition of the property, keeping in mind to offer you the most amount of money possible to put in your pocket at closing.
A lot of the properties that we buy are “thorn in your side” type of properties. They are either highly distressed, in pre-foreclosure/foreclosure, loads of repairs needed, no equity to list it with an agent, etc. We understand that and help to take that burden off of your plate with a fair offer to make it a WIN-WIN.
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!
DOWNLOAD our free guide that walks you through the Pros and Cons (plus the cost and timeline) of selling your house to a real estate investor, agent, or someone who is both (that would be Bean Home Buyers!) as well as the pros, cons, and costs of the other two alternatives – listing with a traditional agent or selling it yourself.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. We pride ourselves on being fully transparent with everything. Deciding to sell your house is a big decision and it’s a decision that we treat with respect and care for you. 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.
We also consider any unique circumstances that surround the property such as tax liens, code violations, little to no equity, etc. Using this information, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
The best situation is a WIN-WIN and that’s what we strive for with every house seller we work with.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Since we are both real estate investors able to pay cash and licensed and reputable real estate agents, we have multiple ways we can sell your house or property. If you choose to have us list your house with our proprietary marketing methods that can sell your Pensacola house faster and for more than with a traditional agent, our fees are similar to other agents but are always open to working with you to make sure we are meeting your financial needs. However, our Cash Offer program has NO FEES and allows us to make you a fair, all-cash offer, charge no commissions, and pay all of your seller closing costs as well.

Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Great question! Several years ago we discovered that so many Pensacola house sellers were being ignored and under-served by real estate investors AND agents who were limited in how they could solve homeowners’ problems.
First and foremost, we are problem solvers. What separates us from other investors and agents is that we genuinely care about you. That’s why we take the time to get to know you and fully understand your situation so that we can best serve you. Like other investors, we’re not in it for the quick money grab. We are local members of your community and pride ourselves on serving the community. If you want to list your house with us, we aren’t like other agents and reek of “commission breath”. Selling your house has to be a mutually beneficial endeavor and we keep your needs at the forefront at all times.
For most real estate agents to take on a listing, the house has to be “show ready,” which often requires you to pay for repairs, hold open houses, show the house to several potential buyers, and deal with the often-stressful problem of buyers backing out at the last minute or financing falling through. On the other hand, many real estate investors make cash offers based on a formula that works for their business model–but for a seller who isn’t necessarily in a hurry or is willing to go through the traditional selling process, that cash offer is often way too low.
At Bean Home Buyers, we are able to serve you with several options to sell, and you can pick the one that best helps you reach your goals.
If you’re after speed and convenience, don’t want to deal with repairs, and you’re willing to give up a bit of equity for that convenience, our Cash Offer program may be right for you.
If you’re looking to maximize your profit and have the patience to wait for the perfect retail buyer, we’ve got you covered. We’ll list your home on the market to ensure you get the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.
What sets us apart is our commitment to learning about your specific needs and circumstances then providing you with options. We understand that every situation is unique, which is why we offer a range of choices so you can select the solution that best suits your needs.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely no obligation when you submit your information to us. Ever. We understand that selling your property is a big decision and we respect that. We never want you to feel pressured or rushed with what you decide. Once you provide us with some details about your property, we will carefully evaluate it and may reach out to you for further discussion. This discussion is where we will learn exacting what’s going on with your house and how we can best serve you. From there, if you want to take the next step, we’ll schedule a time to come do a quick walkthrough of the property and answer any other questions you may have. Ultimately, the decision to sell your house to us is entirely up to you. You are in control, always. We value your autonomy and will not pressure or bother you. We believe in doing what’s right for you!
