FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers to the questions people ask us most.

Are you real estate agents?

No. Homes57 is a real estate investment company. We don’t represent you in a sale and we don’t charge commissions. You’re always welcome to work with an agent or attorney of your choice.

Do you buy houses outside San Diego?

Yes. We’re based in San Diego, California, and we buy property nationwide.

What kinds of property do you buy?

Single-family homes, condos, small multifamily, mobile homes on land, vacant land, and other properties. If you’re unsure, just ask.

Do I need to make repairs or clean up?

No. We buy properties as-is. Take what you want and leave the rest.

How do you decide on an offer?

We look at recent nearby sales, the property’s condition, estimated repair costs, and closing costs. We’ll walk you through the numbers so you can see how we arrived at them.

Are there fees or commissions?

There are no agent commissions when you sell to us. Every cost is spelled out in writing before you sign, so there are no surprises.

Will you assign my contract to another buyer?

Sometimes. We may buy a property ourselves or assign our purchase agreement to another investor, which can earn us a fee. We’ll tell you up front how we plan to proceed.

How fast can you close?

It depends on the property and the title work, but sales often close in a few weeks. You choose the date — sooner or later.

What if a cash sale isn’t my best option?

Then we’ll tell you. Listing with an agent or keeping the property can be the better path, and we’re happy to explain why.

Is there any obligation if I contact you?

None at all. Asking questions costs nothing, and no is always a fine answer.

Who handles the closing?

A licensed, independent title or escrow company handles the paperwork and funds, so everything is recorded properly.
