Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your House Fast

Have questions about how it all works? You’re not alone—most homeowners we talk to have a few! Below are the most common questions we receive, with clear and honest answers. Still wondering about something? Reach out to us here and we’ll be happy to help.

Q: Will you list my home or actually buy it?
A: Good question! We’re not real estate agents—we’re direct home buyers. At Birddog Investment Group, we purchase homes in Savannah with our own cash, so there’s no waiting on banks or financing. We buy properties that meet our criteria, and after closing, we may either renovate and resell or keep the home as a rental.

Q: How is selling to you different than listing with a Realtor?
A: Real estate agents market your home, schedule showings, and hope for an offer—which can take months. If your house sells, you’ll pay a commission of 3%–6% (that’s $3,000–$6,000 on a $100,000 home). By contrast, we buy houses directly, without commissions, repairs, or delays. You won’t need to clean, stage, or wait—we make a fast, cash offer and can close when you’re ready.

Agents are a great fit if you have time to wait and don’t mind paying fees. But if you’re looking for a faster, simpler solution with no out-of-pocket expenses, working with us may be a better option. We handle everything ourselves—no middlemen, no delays, and no guesswork.

Need a quick comparison? Here’s how it stacks up:

Q: Do you pay fair prices for homes?
A: Yes—but we also look for win-win scenarios. While we typically purchase below full market value, we offer speed, convenience, and zero out-of-pocket costs. Many sellers are more interested in a hassle-free cash sale than squeezing every dollar out of their property. If that sounds like you, we may be a great fit. Our offers come with no pressure and no obligation—just the info you need to decide.

Q: How do you determine your offer price?
A: We keep it simple. Our team looks at your home’s location, current condition, needed repairs, and recent sales of similar homes in the area. Then we make a fair, no-obligation cash offer that works for both of us.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions?
A: None. Zero. Zilch. Unlike agents, we don’t charge commissions or hidden fees. We’ll even cover the closing costs in most cases. You’ll get a cash offer and walk away with peace of mind—without spending a dime on repairs, showings, or paperwork.

Q: Do I have to accept your offer?
A: Absolutely not. There’s no pressure or obligation. We’ll present you with an offer, and you decide what’s best for your situation. Whether you say yes, no, or want time to think it over, the choice is yours—and we’ll support you either way.

Q: Can I sell my house in Georgia or South Carolina if I’m behind on payments or in pre-foreclosure?
A: Yes, absolutely. We regularly help homeowners in places like Savannah, Augusta, Charleston, and Beaufort who are facing foreclosure or dealing with late mortgage payments. If you’re at risk of losing your home, we can make a fast cash offer that could stop the foreclosure and get you back on your feet. Every day counts, so reach out sooner rather than later.

Q: What if my house has tenants or renters in it?
A: Not a problem. We buy tenant-occupied properties all the time, even if the lease is still active. Whether you’re dealing with reliable renters or difficult ones, we’ll work with you to come up with a solution that fits. You don’t have to wait until the property is vacant—we’ll handle the transition so you don’t have to.

Q: Do you buy mobile homes or land in Georgia and South Carolina?
A: Yes, we buy more than just single-family houses. We also purchase mobile homes (with or without land), vacant lots, and land parcels across coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry in South Carolina. If you’re holding on to property that’s causing stress or collecting taxes, we can make you a fair, fast offer.

Q: How quickly can you close?
A: We’ve closed deals in as little as 3 days, depending on the title work and the seller’s schedule. If you need to move quickly—whether you’re in Pooler, Bluffton, Hilton Head, or Savannah—we can often work on your timeline. Want to move slower? No problem. You choose the closing date, and we’ll handle the rest.

Q: What types of houses do you buy?
A: We buy all types of residential property in any condition. Whether it’s a fire-damaged house in Augusta, a rental with tenants in Charleston, or a vacant mobile home in Hardeeville, we’re interested. We specialize in buying houses that need repairs, are inherited, are behind on payments, or have become too much to manage.

Q: I’m out of state but own a property in Georgia or South Carolina. Can you still buy it?
A: Definitely. We help out-of-state owners all the time. Whether you’re living in another state or out of the country, we can handle the entire process remotely and work with your schedule to close quickly and easily. You won’t need to fly in or be present at the closing.

Serving Homeowners Across Georgia & South Carolina

Whether you’re in Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, or anywhere in between, we’re here to help you sell your home fast—with no agents, no commissions, and no stress.

Your Selling Options with Birddog Home Buyers

We understand that every homeowner’s situation is different. That’s why Birddog Home Buyers offers three flexible solutions designed to meet your goals—whether that’s speed, maximum profit, or convenience. Here’s a breakdown of how we help homeowners across Georgia and South Carolina sell fast, with zero pressure and no out-of-pocket costs.

Option 1: Direct Cash Purchase

This is our fastest and simplest solution. We buy your house directly, in as-is condition, and you choose the closing date. There are no agents, no repairs, no showings, and no commissions. Perfect for sellers who want certainty and speed.

Frequently Asked Questions (Cash Option):

• How fast can you close? – We’ve closed in as little as 5 days, depending on title work.
• Do I have to clean or make repairs? – No. We buy houses completely as-is, no matter the condition.
• Are there fees or commissions? – None. What we offer is what you receive at closing.
• What types of properties qualify? – Any condition, including inherited, vacant, or in foreclosure.

Option 2: Wholesale Marketing Strategy

If the property needs more work than a conventional buyer would accept, but you’re not in a rush, we may recommend our wholesale option. You sign an agreement at an approved sale price and authorize our licensed agent to market your property off-market to our network of investor buyers. We aim to meet or beat your agreed price in 30 days or less.

Frequently Asked Questions (Wholesale Option):

• Do I still own the property during this time? – Yes, we simply have marketing rights while you stay in control.
• Can I see the offers coming in? – No. We handle investor negotiations and only present you with the agreed-upon final sale.
• Will I owe anything if you don’t find a buyer? – No. You’re not obligated to pay anything if we don’t perform within the agreed period.
• Is this legal? – Yes. You’ll sign both a sales agreement and a listing agreement with a licensed agent to ensure full compliance with Georgia or South Carolina real estate law.

Option 3: Retail MLS Marketing (Novation Agreement)

This strategy is ideal for homes in livable condition that just need cosmetic updates. You receive a guaranteed net sale price, and we handle the rest—including repairs, showings, and buyer negotiations. We market your property on the MLS to conventional buyers and pay for required repairs (up to $10,000). You stay in the home, and we only host 4 open houses per month—no individual showings.

Frequently Asked Questions (Retail Novation Option):

• How do repairs work? – We cover up to $10,000 in repairs needed to meet financing requirements. Anything above that may be deducted with your approval.
• Do I need to move out? – No, you can remain in your home during the process. We limit showings to 4 open houses per month.
• Who handles the buyer negotiations? – Our licensed agent and team manage all MLS marketing, buyer communications, and contract negotiations.
• Do I still get the full agreed sale price? – Yes. We build our service fees into the buyer’s side of the transaction, so you receive your net price at closing.
• How do you get paid? – We collect a marketing fee, transaction coordination fee, and remediation fee—but only from the net difference between what we sell the home for and what we agreed to pay you.
