Frequently Asked Questions
Here is a quick collection of some of the questions our clients have asked us over the years, along with our answers. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We love to chat!
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: We’re not real estate agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers that purchase properties for a fair cash price from Central, PA area homeowners in need. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value so we can resell them at a profit to another homeowner after we fix it up and make it market ready. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property but, in our experience, many homeowners that would like cash for their homes and/or need to sell fast aren’t expecting a large windfall on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we want the property as-is, we offer a fair cash price, and can close in 7 days.
If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold on a schedule that works for you, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question! Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking all of this information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that we hope is a win-win for both parties.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling a house in PA – there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We can often pay for all closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit at a later date.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent takes a percentage of the final sale price once they find a buyer. Your agent’s commission is usually 3 to 6% of the final sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait months to sell, but that’s where Proverbs Home Buyers is different. We’re not agents, we’re direct home buyers. Since we are cutting out the middle man and buying the house direct from you for cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Need to sell fast? No problem! We make the closing process quick and easy.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We want you to decide what’s right for your unique situation!
