Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions we hear from Central Valley homeowners.
- How does selling my house to House Junkies work?
- Fill out our form or call us with your property address. We research the property and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 hours. If you accept, you pick the closing date and we handle the rest.
- Do I have to make any repairs before selling?
- No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition, including major repair needs, fire or water damage, and code violations.
- Are there any fees or commissions?
- No. We cover closing costs and there are no agent commissions, since you're selling directly to us, not listing on the market.
- How fast can you close?
- As little as 7 days, or up to 30 days if that fits your timeline better. You choose the date.
- How do you calculate my cash offer?
- From four real numbers: after-repair value based on closed comps, our actual renovation cost estimate from our own construction crew, holding and closing costs, and our margin. See the full breakdown on our How We Calculate Your Offer page.
