Frequently Asked Questions

Are you real estate agents who want to list my property?
No, we are not real estate agents, and we do not want to list your property on the MLS. Strategic Property Buyers is a direct real estate investment company. We purchase properties directly from owners using our own funds or creative financing structures, which allows us to buy without the delays and fees of the traditional market.
Where exactly do you buy properties?
We are headquartered in Virginia, but our acquisition reach covers the entire South. We aggressively buy single-family homes and multi-family apartment communities in Virginia (VA), North Carolina (NC), and Georgia (GA), as well as surrounding growth markets.

Do I need to clean or repair the house before selling?
No! We buy properties strictly "as-is." You do not need to make repairs, paint, or even sweep the floors. If there is old furniture or junk you don't want to move, just leave it behind. We will handle the cleanout after we close.
What if I have tenants living in the property?
That is not a problem. We regularly purchase both single-family rentals and multi-family communities with tenants in place. You do not need to evict anyone; we will take over the existing leases and handle the property management going forward.

What do you mean by "creative deal structures" for multi-family?
We know that a lump-sum cash sale triggers massive capital gains taxes for many commercial owners. We are open to structures like Seller Financing (where you act as the bank and collect passive, tax-advantaged income), Subject-To deals (taking over your existing debt), and strategic partnerships to help you maximize your exit.
Will you disrupt my property management or tenants during the sale?
We pride ourselves on discretion. We conduct our due diligence quietly so as not to alarm your current staff or residents. They won't know the property is transitioning until the deal is secure and we are ready to implement a smooth handover.

Is there any obligation if I submit my property info?
There is absolutely zero obligation, zero pressure, and zero cost. We review your property, make you a fair offer, and then step back. It is 100% your decision whether or not you want to accept it.
How do you determine your cash offer for my house?
We are completely transparent about our math. We look at the "After Repair Value" (what the house will be worth once fully renovated), subtract the cost of those repairs, subtract our holding costs and standard profit margin, and that becomes your cash offer.
How long does it take to close?
For single-family homes, we can typically close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or we can delay the closing to whatever date works best for your schedule. Multi-family transactions may take slightly longer due to commercial due diligence, but our process is always faster and more streamlined than a traditional financed buyer.
Do I have to pay closing costs or fees?
No. Because you are selling directly to us, there are no real estate agent commissions (which normally cost you 6%). Additionally, in most standard transactions, we pay the typical closing costs. The offer we agree on is what you walk away with.
