Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
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 homes. At Cash Offer Center, we are professional home buyers. We purchase houses in Anaheim that meet our criteria, and we don’t rely on bank financing, so you can feel confident in our ability to close. After buying, we may make repairs and resell the property or keep it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and wait for a buyer to come along. They show the home to potential buyers, if there are any, and the average time to sell in many markets today is around 4 to 6 months. If a sale goes through, the agent earns a commission, typically 3% to 6% of the sale price. For example, on a $100,000 home, you could pay between $3,000 and $6,000 in commissions.
Agents can be a great option for those who have time to wait several months to sell and are comfortable paying commissions. However, we operate differently. We are not agents; we are direct home buyers. Our company purchases your house directly from you. Because we use all cash and buy the property ourselves, we can often make a decision within a couple of days, sometimes even the same day. We take on the risk by using our own funds, handling repairs, and marketing the property ourselves to find a buyer.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the homes we purchase are below market value, so we can resell them to another homeowner at a profit. We aim to secure a fair discount on each property. In our experience, most sellers are not expecting a large windfall. Instead, they value the ability to receive cash, close quickly without financing delays, and avoid the time, effort, and costs of repairs or agent fees. If that sounds like what you need and you want to sell your house fast, we can work toward a fair, win-win price. Our no-obligation offer lets you decide whether to move forward, but it gives you a clear idea of what we can offer.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re happy to be transparent. Our process is straightforward. We evaluate the property’s location, the repairs needed, its current condition, and recent sales of similar homes in the area. By considering all of these factors, we determine a fair price that works for both of us.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: What sets us apart from traditional home selling is that there are no fees or commissions when you sell directly to us, unlike listing with an agent, where up to 6% can come out of your pocket. We provide an offer, and if it works for you, we buy your house with no hassle and no fees. We also often cover closing costs. We make our profit after completing any necessary repairs and reselling the home. We take on the risk, and once we purchase the property, it’s our responsibility. You can walk away without the burden of the home or its expenses, with cash in hand.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely no obligation. After you share a few details about your property, we’ll review the information, may set up a quick call to learn more, and provide you with a fair all-cash offer. From there, the decision is entirely yours on whether to sell. We’ll give you the space to decide what works best for you.
