Questions on Selling a House

How does this process work?
It's simple. You fill out the home information form, which electronically submits your data to us. We will contact you to discuss the property. If there is a potential win/win situation, we will discuss potential offers and set up an appointment. We believe this is the fastest way to conduct business with today's technology.

Do I need to do repairs?
You don’t have to fix anything or paint anything. You don’t even have to wash the dishes to have us over. We’re looking at the house and it’s potential. We’ll be happy to do the repairs so you can save your time and money. We don't need a sparkling, brand-new house to make a deal work.

Who sells houses to Reitz Rentals?
All types of people! Anybody, in a situation where they would like to sell quickly for cash. This includes: trying to sell with an agent with no results, wanting to avoid real estate commissions, inheriting a property, landlords tired of dealing with renters, needing to sell quickly due to divorce, title issues, facing a job transfer, owners behind on payments or dealing with foreclosure, people with trashy houses that need too much repair, neighbors who live next to vacant houses and want them fixed up, and many more reasons! Anyone who wants to deal with a reliable, reputable company who puts integrity above profits and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a quick closing with minimum hassle.

Do I need to come up with money for Closing Costs?
This is one place where we can customize an offer for your needs. You will know up front the amount you will have in hand when you walk away from the closing table and the costs. We can pay all related costs such as physical inspections, termite inspections, appraisals, surveys, title insurance policies, recording fees, etc.

Do you charge a realtor commission?
No. There is no reason for you to pay the standard 6% real estate commission or any other commission. since we don't charge fees for anything and we're not Realtors or real estate agents. We're not going to LIST your house; we're going to BUY it. 

Back to top...

When will we close?
If you need to wait until your next home is built and/or lease this home back for a while after the sale, we will work with you. We're flexible so we can close in a few days or a few months, whatever best fits your timeline. 

Back to top...

Our last buyer could not get a loan. Will your offer go through?
You won't have to worry about starting over months later because we can't qualify for financing. If you accept our offer we will meet you at the closing table. We can handle all the paperwork and details. All you do to sell your house fast is show up at closing to sign some papers and pick up your check. 

Back to top...

Are you a real estate broker or agent?
We are not real estate agents and are not associated with any real estate broker. We are private individuals who solve real estate problems. You'll get a quick sale with no hassles, your worries will be behind you, and you can get on with your life. Reitz Rentals do not operate in anyway like estate agents. We DO NOT want to list your house, we want to BUY it!

Do you pay market value?
Any offer you receive will be an amount discounted from the retail value of your house as if it was fully renovated. We are professional home buyers who buy homes below market value for a profit. When we buy a house it may need to be remodeled. The cost for materials and labor along with the time it takes to renovate a property is also taken into consideration. Taxes, insurance, interest, utilities etc. are calculated for the estimated renovation period and are reflected in our offer. However, we close quickly, pay cash, can pay all normal closing costs and we do not charge any commission.

Do you buy other types of real estate besides houses?
We buy any type of real estate including houses, condos, townhouses, apartment buildings, strip centers, commercial buildings, residential and commercial building lots ….even mobile homes with land.

There are never any fees or obligations to have Reitz rentals assess your house. It is totally up to you to accept or reject any offer we make.

Will you keep my information private?

• Yes, No one needs to know that your house is for sale before it is sold.
• Tenants, neighbors, relatives, friends and others do not need to know. You can now sell privately without them knowing.

Questions on Buying a Home

I do not have a down payment. Can you still sell me a house?
When we make a deal to sell you a home, we may be more creative than you can imagine. Most of the time, we own the house outright and do not have to ask for the banks for approval to sell. If you can think some way for us to, get you in one of our homes. Just ask, who knows what we might say. 

Back to top...

I know this is a dumb question, but will you take a trade-in?
First of all there is not a dumb question. You can ask any question on our question page. Secondly, yes we will consider any offer even with a trade-in (houses vehicles, boat, gun collection, timber or anything of value). We can do this because we can deal without the banks approval.

Do you have any houses for sale right now?

Questions on Renting a Home

I need an apartment now! Will you rent to me today?
We get this call all the time. The first thing you need to do is set up an appointment to go see the apartment or house. If it meets your expectations and budget you will be asked to fill out an application. After we have time to go over your application and everything checks out ok we will set up a time to sign a lease after which you can move in anytime. Your next question may be why so much? We are not just looking for tenants, but also good neighbor for the tenants we already have. And when you become one of our tenants we will take the same care in picking your neighbor.
