Got questions about selling your home? That’s natural; most people do. Here’s a collection of common questions we receive, along with straightforward answers. If you need more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. At Lauren Buys Houses, we’re always happy to help.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Lauren Buys Houses, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses in West Tennessee that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don’t rely on bank financing so you can count on our ability to close quickly and reliably. Once purchased, we may renovate the property for resale or add it to our rental portfolio, always focusing on solutions that benefit all parties involved.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and wait for potential buyers, which can take 4-6 months in today’s market. They charge a commission of 3-6% of your sale price when a buyer is found. For a $100,000 house, that means $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to the agent.
Agents provide valuable services for sellers who can wait several months and don’t mind paying commissions. That’s where we differ. We’re not agents – we’re direct home buyers. Our team at Lauren Buys Houses purchases your property directly with cash, allowing us to make decisions within days (sometimes even the same day). We assume all the risk by buying with our own funds, handling renovations, and marketing the property ourselves. Our approach is simple, transparent, and designed to create win-win solutions.
Want a clearer comparison? Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
| Selling w/ A Jackson Agent | SOLD To Lauren Buys Houses | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees: | Up to 6%, paid by you, the seller | None |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs. |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Yes, sales can fall through. | None needed |
| Appraisal Needed: | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
| Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days | We provide immediate cash offers. |
| Number of Showings: | It Depends | 1 (Just Us) |
| Closing Date: | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many houses we purchase are below market value, which allows us to resell at a profit after improvements. We seek a fair discount, but our experience shows that most sellers value our cash offers, quick closings (no waiting for financing approval), and the fact that you won’t need to invest time, effort, or money into repairs or agent fees. If you prioritize selling quickly and hassle-free, let’s discuss a price that works for both of us. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you’re free to decline our offer – but it’s always helpful to know your options!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We believe in complete transparency with our process. We evaluate several factors: the property’s location, necessary repairs, current condition, and the value of recently sold comparable homes in your area. By carefully analyzing these elements, we develop a fair offer that creates a solution beneficial for everyone involved. Our tailored approach recognizes that every property and situation is unique.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes our approach stand out from traditional selling methods: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell directly to us, unlike listing fees where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. We’ll make you a straightforward offer and, if it works for you, we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We typically cover closing costs too! Our profit comes after we invest in renovations and resell the property. We assume all the risks, while you walk away with cash in hand and freedom from your property concerns.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: Absolutely zero obligation. After you share details about your property, we’ll review everything, possibly arrange a brief call to learn more, and then present you with a fair cash offer. From there, it’s entirely your decision whether to accept. We respect your choices and will never pressure you – our goal is providing options that make sense for your specific situation.
