FAQs
Q: What does “as-is” mean?
A: We buy your home as-is, so you don’t need to worry about repairs, fixing it up, or preparing for showings. We’ll take care of all repairs and inspections after we buy it. We’ll factor this into our offer, but it saves you time, money, and stress
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We’re not real estate agents and don’t list houses. At Pathway Property Solutions, we buy homes that fit our criteria. We don’t rely on bank loans, so you don’t have to worry about us being able to close the deal. After buying, we may fix the house and sell it, or keep it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: We’re not real estate agents and don’t list houses. At Pathway Property Solutions, we buy homes that fit our criteria. We don’t rely on bank loans, so you don’t have to worry about us being able to close the deal. After buying, we may fix the house and sell it, or keep it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and wait for buyers. They show the house to potential buyers, which can take 4-6 months in many markets. If they sell the house, they take a commission of 3-6% of the sale price. For a $100,000 house, that’s $3,000 to $6,000 in commission.
Agents are great for people who can wait 4+ months to sell and are okay with paying commissions. But we’re different. We’re home buyers, not agents. We buy your house directly with cash, so we can make a decision to buy within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). We take on the risk, fix up the house, and then sell it ourselves
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Our goal is to give you a fair offer. Unlike other buyers or big companies, we’re open about how we determine our offer. It’s based on the property’s value after we make any needed improvements. We’re happy to explain the process and walk you through how it works.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: What makes us different from traditional selling is there are NO fees or commissions when you sell directly to us, unlike listing where you pay up to 6%. We’ll make you an offer, and if it works for both of us, we’ll buy your house with no hassle and no fees. We often cover the closing costs too! The risks are on us, and once we buy the house, you walk away free of the property and its payments, with cash in hand.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There’s no obligation at all. Just tell us about your property, and we’ll review it, maybe have a call to learn more, and then make you a fair all-cash offer. After that, it’s completely up to you whether you want to sell to us. You decide what’s best for you.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
