It's perfectly normal to have questions, and you're not alone in that! Here’s a brief list of common questions we receive, along with our answers. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via email or give us a call—we're more than happy to assist you.
A: We’re buying in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and the surrounding area. If your house is in the Soo, then it’s worth a couple minutes to give us a call to discuss.
A: Real estate agents typically "list" properties and charge a commission when your property sells, which could go into your pocket! However, the process comes with no guarantees regarding when, if, or how much your property will sell for. On average, it can take months—sometimes even over a year—for a property to sell. This uncertainty can lead to unnecessary stress and anxiety. Additionally, you must maintain your home in pristine condition at all times for potential showings. Often, you won't know the final amount you'll receive until after the sale is complete and you have your check in hand
A: As your private real estate investor, we take a different approach. We want to purchase your property directly, eliminating the need for listing. We don’t charge any fees or commissions out of the seller's pocket, and we can deliver a cash offer in a matter of hours. If you need to close quickly, we can finalize the sale in as little as five days! We buy houses for cash and make the process straightforward and efficient.
While there are times when a real estate agent may be your best option, we are here to ensure you have the best possible experience. If you choose that route, we can connect you with top-tier realtors we trust. Our mission is to help you achieve a fast, hassle-free, and stress-free sale! If you're unsure of whether to choose a realtor or Great Lakes, reach out, and we will find a solution tailored to your goals and needs.
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value, and we can resell them at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on the property. However, in our experience, many sellers appreciate that we can offer cash, we close on your schedule, pay for a lawyer (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold the fast, friendly and stress-free way… let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move
forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
A: We have the flexibility to offer you a number of personalized purchasing programs. Each has its own methods and formulas to determine how much we can pay for a house or property, allowing you to benefit from the fastest possible sale without doing any work or repairs. How much we can pay for your home or property will be based on many factors. These include the condition and repairs required, the location, the time factor, your loan balance, any equity you may have, and your specific needs. You’ll know the answer within 24 hours.
A: NO, you do not pay any closing costs. Our company will pay for a lawyer to close, saving you thousands of dollars.
A: You have no obligation. We don’t charge a fee or commission to simply discuss possible “win, win” solutions. Once you submit the property information, you’ll either get an email or a call shortly, and if we feel we can move forward, we’ll arrange to see the house. We’ll make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you.
A: We will close on your schedule. The minimum is five days, or we can wait until you’re ready to move, even if it’s months away. We buy houses with cash, so we don’t need to wait for a bank to give us a mortgage.
A: Yes, we buy condos! We frequently purchase condo apartments and condo townhouses. We even pay for and order the condo status certificate for you.
A: We buy many houses with tenants. We will collaborate with you (and the tenants if appropriate) to find a solution.
A: We buy houses in foreclosure, Power of Sale and bankruptcy almost every month right along with some that are not in distress, in all areas and price ranges.
A: We may still be able to buy but will need the facts to determine
