Question:
How fast can you buy my
house?
Answer:
We can put your house under contract
very quickly, and can often close in as little as two weeks.
Our goal is to tailor an offer that works for your situation.
If speed is of the essence, we have the experience and resources
to make it happen.
Question:
I owe the banks more than
my house is worth - are you still interested in buying it?
Answer:
Yes, due to the tremendous drop in
Southern California real estate values, a large percentage
of houses - just like yours, have mortgages which are now
far greater than the actual value in today's market. HomeBuyers
LA can buy your house for less than what is currently owed
- subject to approval of the
banks or mortgage holders. This is known as a "short
sale".
Question:
Can you buy my house if it's in foreclosure?
Answer:
Yes,
but when a home is in foreclosure, there a limited amount
of time we have to work within. The California foreclosure
process has a specific legal schedule which dictates the
period of time a bank must allow you - the homeowner to
"cure" the default declared on the loan. It will
be important to contact us quickly and clearly let us know
you are currently in foreclosure or expect to be in the
near future.

Question:
How do I know HomeBuyers
LA is reliable?
Answer:
The founders and driving force behind
HomeBuyers LA have been successfully working with homeowners
in
difficult situations and buying
properties throughout
the United States for well
over 20 years. It is worth noting that although we have
forged a nationally diverse track record, the past 14 years
have been centered right here in Southern California where
we are known for our expertise, our sense of fair treatment
& creativity in working with homeowners just like you,
needing to sell their properties under difficult circumstances.
Question:
How can I get the best possible
price from HomeBuyers LA?
Answer:
You can help us craft an offer of
our best possible price by giving us as much information
about your circumstance, your needs and the condition of
the home as possible. When
we understand the situation, we have less reason to be cautious
in our offer - and are more encouraged to offer you the
best price and the best terms we can.
Bear
in mind: we always handle
your private information
with care
& do
not sell, share or divulge it.
To tailor the best offer we can
for you we will need to understand things like:
-
What are your needs in selling the property? In other
words, do you just need to get out from under the burden
of the mortgage? Do you have equity? Do you need cash
immediately? Are you looking to minimize the income taxes
from the sale?
- What
is the true condition of the house? Almost all houses
need work of some kind. Some need a little, some need
an enormous amount. We work with both. The better
we understand the true condition of the house and the
repairs we will need to make, the more confidently we
can make you the best one we can.
- What
loans, mortgages or home equity lines of credit exist
for the property? We need to be aware of any creditors
who may have liens or have used the property as collateral.
We need to know about any judgments, mechanic's liens,
foreclosure actions or other claims to title.
The
more information we have about the specifics of your situation,
the better our offer.
(I'll bet you could have guessed that this
is our most requested question & answer)?
Question:
What if my house needs repair
or has code problems?
Answer:
Almost
all houses need work of some kind. Some need a little, some
need an enormous amount. We work with both. The better
we understand the true condition of the house and the repairs
we will need to make, the more confidently we can make you
the best offer we can.
Often
a house has "code problems or issues". Additions
or modifications that make the house difficult or impossible
to sell. Houses with code issues won't qualify for most
conventional loans, and therefore very difficult to sell
in their present condition. Is your house one of these?
HomeBuyers LA is still interested in making you an offer.
We are experienced in working with code issues, have non-conventional
funding already in place and are able to complete the transaction
where most others cannot.
Question:
What kind of information
do you need to make me an offer?
Answer:
Just basic information about the situation
and the house. We do not need personal information (ss
numbers, credit report, work history). Only contact
information, so we can communicate with you and basic information
about the property, its condition and outstanding loans.
We will need to see your property and understand what your
circumstance and needs are in selling the home.
The better we understand what you need, the better we are
able to tailor an offer that works for everyone.
