1. Who is H3 Homebuyers?

H3 Homebuyers is much more than just a “we buy houses” company. We focus on only the state of Ohio and we have become local experts. We don’t just buy houses, we build lasting relationships.

Visit the Our Company page to learn more about H3 Homebuyers.

2. How does your process work?

This is the question we get asked the most.

1. Contact us. Let us know about your property and we can start the discussion on how we can best serve you.
2. Get your cash offer. We will make you an AS-IS cash offer on your house with no obligations.
3. Get paid. This is the best step! Close on your timeline. No hassle or headache.

3. How is using H3 Homebuyers different from selling my house with a real estate agent?

A real estate agent helps you sell your house using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). It is a marketing tool to get your home in front of many potential buyers. Often for weeks or months, you must endure many walkthroughs before you find the right buyer. Once the sale happens, you need to pay title fees, closing costs, as well as the agent’s commission.

The agent lists your house on the MLS to attract buyers. You may have to show your house to many people before selling it. After finding a buyer, you have to cover title fees, closing costs, and the agent’s commission. The agent’s job is to guide you through this process smoothly.

In contrast, as investors, we buy your house right away with cash or find other buyers who do the same. After rehab, we put the house back on the market and it looks brand new! That’s how we make our money. When you sell to us, we cover inspection and closing costs, charge no commission, and pay you in cash. We cut the need for an agent and its extra costs. You get a faster sale and less hassle.

4. Will you be listing my house on the MLS or buy it?
We will buy it. We are not agents. We are professional home buyers. We buy houses in Ohio that meet our criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

5. Is working with a “We buy houses” company the best fit for me?

It depends on what you’re looking for when you go to sell your house. H3 Homebuyers is the all-cash, fast, hassle-free home selling option. There are no repairs, no cleaning, no fees, no commission. Plus, none of the hassles that come with a traditional sale: no open houses or showings. We even cover closing costs! But, with all these benefits, comes a cash offer for less than you could get on the market. Of course, when listing on the market, you have to subtract agent fees and closing costs. You must also count the time waiting to sell. You must do this while still paying your mortgage and utilities.

If you want a fast, all-cash home sale without an agent’s hassles, then a “We buy houses” company may be right for you.

6. Can I sell my house if I live out of state?

Yes.

We consistently work with out-of-state owners. Selling to us is very beneficial if you do live out of state. We buy many houses and work in this field. So, we know the process well. We will happily guide you through it.

It is possible to sell a house without even having to step foot in Ohio.

7. Can I Sell With a Tax Lien/Foreclosure Notice?

Yes. We have attorneys who are experts in all types of liens and foreclosure processes. In addition, selling your house in foreclosure or with a lien is oftentimes the best way to settle the debt. If you sell your property for enough money, you might be able to pay off both your mortgage lender and the government filing the tax lien.

8. Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Yes. We will go through all the numbers when we offer to purchase your house. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible and provide you with as much value as possible. Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers don’t expect a big “windfall” on the property. They just like that we can offer cash and close quickly (no waiting for financing). They also like that no effort or expense is needed to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you want and you see the value in getting your house sold fast. Let’s see if we can agree on a fair win-win price.

Many real estate investors make cash offers based on a formula. It works for their business model. But, often it doesn’t work for a seller who isn’t in a hurry or is willing to go through the traditional selling process. Sometimes you owe too much on the house or don’t want to sell for cash. We will work with you, no matter your situation, and create an offer that is specific to you.

9. How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property. We also look at what repairs are needed and the property’s current condition. We also look at the prices of similar houses sold nearby. As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We consider many pieces of information. We use them to come up with a fair price. It works for us and for you too.

10. Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs (if any) and sell the house for a profit. We take the risks on if we can sell it for a profit. Once we buy the house from you, it’s our responsibility. You walk away without the burden of the property and its payments. You often leave with cash.

11. How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any. In many markets, the average time to sell a property now is 6-12 months. The agent then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. The agent’s commission is often 6% of your house’s sale price. So, for a $100,000 house, you’ll pay about $6,000 to the agents. Agents provide a great service for those who can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys houses. We don’t list houses. We are the ones buying the house from you and pay with all cash. So, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days, sometimes the same day. Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our cash. We then repair and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).

12. Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is no obligation when you submit your information.

We know you have options. To stand out from the others, we make sure you know that your free offer has no cost to you. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

13. Do I need to clean or make any repairs?

No, you do not need to clean or make any repairs before moving out. We handle all cleaning and repairs once we close on the house. Feel free to leave behind everything you don’t want from food in the fridge to trash and musty furniture. We take care of it all.

‘Once we finalize the purchase of the house, our team will handle all the cleaning and repairs needed. You can leave behind anything you no longer want. It could be food in the fridge, trash, cars, or old furniture. We will take care of everything left behind, ensuring the house is ready for its next occupants. You can focus on your move without worrying about cleaning or repairs.
