Q:  How does selling my house to Queen City Buyers work?
A:  Selling your house to Queen City Buyers is simple, fast, and stress-free. We buy houses in any condition, and there’s no need for costly repairs, cleaning, or long wait times. The process starts when you contact us, either by phone or through our website, to provide some basic details about your property. Within 24 hours, we’ll assess the information and present you with a fair cash offer. If you accept, we can move forward with the sale, and you choose your closing date. There are no commissions, no fees, and no surprises—just a straightforward, hassle-free process.

Q: Why should I choose Queen City Buyers over listing with an agent?
A: Choosing Queen City Buyers gives you the freedom to bypass the traditional home-selling process, which can often be lengthy, stressful, and uncertain. When you list with an agent, you’re looking at agent fees, commissions, repairs, cleaning, open houses, and the potential for long waiting periods. With Queen City Buyers, you sell your home as-is, in any condition, without worrying about any of these hassles. We offer a fast cash sale, a transparent process, and the ability to choose your closing date. We are also able to help homeowners in situations where agents may not be able to, such as foreclosure, probate, or properties in need of significant repairs. Simply put, we provide a solution that works on your timeline and on your terms.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Q:  Are there any fees or commissions when I sell my home to Queen City Buyers?
A:  No, there are no fees or commissions when you sell your home to us. Unlike traditional real estate transactions, we do not charge any agent fees or closing costs. The cash offer we provide is the amount you will receive—straightforward and simple. We cover all associated closing costs, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than choosing your preferred closing date. Our goal is to make the process as easy and transparent as possible

A:  We can close on your property in as little as 7 days, depending on your timeline. Once we agree on a fair cash offer, we handle the rest. There’s no waiting around for financing approvals or dealing with the uncertainty of the traditional home sale process. You choose when you want to close, so if you need to move quickly, we can make it happen. If you need more time, that’s perfectly fine, too. We work with you to ensure the sale aligns with your needs.

Q:  What types of properties do you buy?
A: We buy houses in virtually any condition, including properties that may be in need of significant repairs or those facing financial challenges. Whether it’s a house in foreclosure, an inherited property, or one in need of renovation, we are equipped to handle it.

At Queen City Buyers, no property is too difficult for us to work with.

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’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
