1. Who Is Family First House Buyer?
Family First House Buyer is more than a “We buy houses” company. We connect homeowners with our network of real estate investors in each market across the nation. Due to the fact that our investors are local and operate right on the ground, we are able to provide higher cash offers with a faster closing time to our sellers.

2. What Do Cash Home Buyers Do?
We buy houses nationwide of any type, any condition, any size. That’s it! We’re the people to reach out to if you want to sell your house without dealing with agents and the traditional listing process. Even if you don’t have a time constraint, you might still want to sell your home without your neighbors knowing and without people scoping it out online.
3. Is a “We Buy Houses” Company Right For Me?
When it comes to deciding if a “We Buy Houses” company is right for you, it really depends on your needs. With Family First House Buyer, you can sell your home fast and hassle-free for cash. You do not have to fix anything, clean anything, pay any fees, or pay commissions. Plus, none of the hassles that come with a traditional sale: no open houses or showings. We even cover closing costs!
With all these benefits comes a cash offer lower than what you could expect on the market. Of course, listing fees, closing costs, and selling times all need to be considered when pricing a property on the market. In addition, you have to pay your mortgage, utilities, etc.
TLDR: If you want an all cash, fast home sale without the hassles of working with an agent then a “We Buy Houses” company may be the right fit.
4. Will Family First House Buyer Pay a Fair Price For My Property?
Great question! Yes, we definitely pay fair and honest prices for properties.
It is important to recognize that a fair price does not necessarily equal “market value.” If a house needs to be renovated or repaired, the cost of doing so will be factored into our offer. Sometimes we can create an offer that works best for both parties by using “creative financing.” We consider every option before making an offer.
5. Will You List My House On The MLS?
No, we will not list your house on the MLS.
Our plan is to purchase the home in its current condition, make any necessary repairs, and either resell it or maintain it as a rental. In the case that we discover that a real estate agent is more suited to your needs, we will refer you to one of the top agents in your area.
6. Should I Just Be Listing My House With An Agent?
Honestly, we don’t know.. yet!
To give you a real answer, we would have to look at your house, situation, goals, and time frame. We are always happy to tell you what we think is best from a professional point of view.
Many people don’t know the pros and cons of putting their house on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Before you hire a real estate agent or try to sell your home on your own, you should think about this.
7. Is There Any Obligation When I Submit My Info?
There are no obligations. We know you have choices, so to set ourselves apart from the others, we make sure you know that getting your free offer doesn’t cost you anything. You have nothing to lose at all.
9. How Many Houses Do You Buy, And What Will You Do With Mine?
We buy a lot of houses. And what do we do with them? We buy your house, rehab it and then sell it for a profit. It’s good for you, good for the neighborhood, and good for the economy. Occasionally, we will keep a house as a rental property. Feel free to keep in touch with us to see what we did with your house. It may even get featured on our website!
10. How Do You Sell a House By Owner (FSBO)?
Selling your house by owner mainly requires time. Here are the 5 steps to selling your home FSBO:
1. Understand the pros and cons of selling your house by owner:
This is really important to guarantee that you are moving forward in the proper direction with the sale of your house.
2. Calculate a realistic asking price: To get an accurate estimate of how much your property is actually worth, you need to develop a strong grasp of the real estate market in your area.
3. Prepare your house for the market: Renovate the property or sell it in its current condition; either way, don’t set the price higher than what others in the neighbourhood’s are asking for comparable properties.
4. Find a buyer: Promote the property in an effective manner (preferably on the MLS), and have open houses! You should also prepare yourself to negotiate the terms of the deal.
5. Close on the deal: Get familiar with the real estate laws that apply in your state or area. Employing legal counsel is an ideal choice in this situation.
