For Agents

Turn Difficult Listings into Closed Sales.

A Fast Sale. A Solid, Reliable Buyer. A Commission from Both Parties.

If you are an agent with a property that will be difficult to prepare for an MLS listing, we can purchase directly from your client and you can represent both buyer and seller without listing the property.

Do you have a listing that has any of these issues?

  • A property that has a lot of required upgrades that your seller does not want to make (or cannot make)
  • A tenant living in the property
  • A property that needs expensive upgrades like a new roof, new HVAC, new kitchen, new bathrooms
  • A property that was inherited by multiple siblings or family members and will be difficult to coordinate upgrades
  • A seller who needs a quick sale

These listings can take a lot of work, coordination, and time to get ready for an MLS listing. Plus, they may take even more time to sell once listed. 

If you think that it could be better for you and your seller, consider having the seller sell the property to us. Selling to us will – in almost every case – be much easier. A sale to us can be structured like this:

  • As-is sale (no repairs required)
  • Cash sale (no financing contingency)
  • Closing date convenient for seller
  • Agent represents both buyer and seller
  • Sale NOT contingent on selling another property

If you have a listing that would benefit from this, please contact us and we would be happy to discuss. 

 

Case Study:

Out-of-town doctor wants to sell rental property with a tenant in place. 

BACKGROUND

When a doctor landed a fellowship at UAB’s medical school, he and his wife purchased a house in Birmingham for the 4 years they would be here. When he finished the fellowship, he took a full-time job in another city and rented the Birmingham property to a younger medical resident at UAB. After a couple of years of being an out-of-town landlord, the doctor realized that he was wasting his time and money on something he no longer wanted. He wanted to focus on his career – not on being a landlord. Plus, he and his wife wanted to purchase a new house – but they had money tied up in this Birmingham rental home. 

THE ISSUE

The doctor contacted his agent to put the house on the market. The issue was that the house was not ready to be listed on MLS:

– There were tenants in the property

– The property required updating and some rehab.

HOW WE HELPED THE AGENT AND THE SELLER 

The agent had worked with us on previous transactions. She contacted us and asked whether we would purchase the house in “as-is” condition with the tenant in place. 

We looked at the property and signed a contract the same day to purchase the house for cash, in as-is condition, with a quick close, and with us agreeing to keep the tenants in place.

The agent represented the seller and the buyer (us). 

WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN

The result was that everyone got a real win:

  • The Seller sold the house with zero hassle and was able to stop being a landlord. The seller was able to take money out of the house immediately, without having to wait for the tenant to leave and without having to complete a long list of improvements from another city.
  • The Agent was able to do a great job for the seller and the buyer and got a commission from both.
  • The Buyer was able to get a new rental property.
  • The Tenant was able to continue to live in the property to complete his residency.
