Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about how Kris Buys Houses works? You’re not alone! Many of our clients come to us with important questions about the home-selling process. That’s why we’ve put together this extended FAQ page to help you get the answers you need. If you still have a question after reading, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly or give us a call. We’re happy to talk with you one-on-one and provide any information you need to feel confident moving forward.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Excellent question. We are not real estate agents, and we don’t list properties on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). We are direct home buyers based in Fredericksburg, VA. When you contact us about selling your house, we evaluate the property to determine if it meets our purchasing criteria. If it does, we make a fair cash offer and buy the property directly from you. There are no listings, no showings, and no waiting for buyer financing. After the purchase, we may choose to renovate the home and resell it, or we might hold it as a rental property.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for houses?
A: Absolutely. Our business model depends on offering a price that’s fair for both you and us. Most of the homes we buy are priced slightly below market value, primarily because we take on the risk, handle any needed repairs, and provide a fast, convenient sale with no fees or commissions. Homeowners appreciate the speed and simplicity of our process. You won’t have to clean, stage, or fix your home, and we can often close in as little as 7 days. If you’re looking for a quick, hassle-free way to sell your house, our fair cash offer might be exactly what you need. And remember, there’s absolutely no obligation to accept our offer—you’ve got nothing to lose.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Our process is transparent and straightforward. We consider several key factors when evaluating your property, including the location, current condition, the cost of necessary repairs, comparable home sales in your neighborhood, and the current real estate market trends in Fredericksburg and surrounding areas. Using this information, we calculate a fair offer that reflects the true value of the property. We’re always happy to explain how we arrived at our offer, and you’re welcome to ask questions.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to you?
A: No. One of the biggest advantages of working with Kris Buys Houses is that there are zero fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. Unlike traditional real estate transactions where sellers pay thousands in agent fees, we cover all closing costs and associated fees. What we offer you is what you get—no surprises, no deductions, no hidden costs.
Q: How is Kris Buys Houses different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and market them in hopes of finding a buyer. That process can take weeks or even months, and during that time you’re responsible for keeping the home in show-ready condition and continuing to pay for utilities, taxes, and mortgage payments. In contrast, we are direct buyers. We don’t list your home—we buy it outright. There are no listings, no open houses, and no commissions. We make an offer, and if you accept, we handle everything else.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: None whatsoever. When you share your property details with us, we will review the information, possibly schedule a walkthrough, and provide you with a no-obligation, no-pressure cash offer. It’s completely your decision whether or not to accept our offer. We want you to make the best decision for your situation, so there’s never any pressure from us.
Q: How quickly can you close on my house?
A: We can typically close in as little as 7 days, sometimes even sooner depending on your timeline. Because we buy houses with our own cash and don’t rely on traditional financing, we can move quickly and on your schedule. Whether you need to sell ASAP or want a little more time to prepare, we work around your needs.
Q: Do I have to make repairs or clean my house before selling?
A: Not at all. One of the benefits of selling to Kris Buys Houses is that you can sell your house as-is. That means no repairs, no cleaning, and no stress. Whether the home is outdated, damaged, or even has a tenant you’re struggling to remove, we can still buy it. We’ll take care of everything after the sale.
Q: What types of homes do you buy?
A: We buy houses in Fredericksburg and surrounding areas in any condition, any situation, and any price range. This includes single-family homes, inherited properties, homes in foreclosure, rentals with bad tenants, vacant properties, homes with liens, fire-damaged houses, and more. If you need to sell, we’re interested in making an offer.
