Common Questions About Selling A House To 181CloseNow

Is 181-Close-Now a real estate agent?

181-Close-Now is not a real estate agent. We are a company that buys houses. That means we are spending our own money to buy your house. 

What’s the difference between an agent and an investor?

A real estate agent is someone who tries to sell another persons house. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can’t. They have no “skin in the game”.  If an agent is successful they make money. Otherwise you waste a lot of time and money.

181-Close-Now is the buyer. We are buying the house to make money later. Sometimes we keep houses as rental. Other houses we buy get fixed up and resold. This allows us to Close fast. It also means our clients have peace of mind knowing they aren’t wasting time.

How do I know if I need an agent, an investor or something else?

One thing that separates us from other home buyers is that we regularly refer our clients to agents. Don’t get us wrong we want to buy your house! But sometimes that’s not in our clients best interest. It depends on your needs, the house, your situation. All of those factors are important in determining a Closing Option that is right for you.

If a house needs a lot of repairs and updates an agent probably isn’t the right move. In that case 181-Close-Now may be the best way to sell your house fast.

Our Closing Options Analyst have two jobs. Their FIRST job is to determine which closing option is best for you. Buying a clients house fast is their second priority. We only want to buy your house if we can make it the best experience you’ve ever had!

Are all agents the same?

There are some agents that really go above and beyond. They are superstars and we love working with them. Other agents are really bad at what they do. If we have a client that needs an agent we get them in touch with a super star. We want you to have nothing but the best!

Are all investors or home buyers the same?

181CloseNow is one of only a few real home buyers in Oklahoma. Unfortunately there are a lot of people claiming to be things they aren’t. We see people who read a book or go to a seminar and think they’re a professional.

181-Close-Now has been buying houses in Oklahoma since 1939. We’re the real deal. One conversation is all it takes to see the difference. But we prefer to let our clients sing our praises.

Working with someone who has no experience can be dangerous. It can costa  lot of money and take a lot of time. Sometimes you may even create a legal issue. Be careful when dealing with anyone who claims to be a cash buyer.

Why do we have to have a signed agreement?

Sometimes people try and sell a house using a handshake. It’s a nice gesture but it won’t work. Before you can have a Closing you will need Title Work. A Title Company won’t do Title Work without a signed Purchase Agreement.

There are other reasons you need a signed agreement when selling your house fast. Houses are considered items of substantial value. This requires any transaction to be in writing.

A written agreement also keeps everyone happy! If the agreement is in writing everyone should be on the same page. Written agreements help avoid disagreements later.

What Is Title Work?

Just because you live in a house doesn’t mean you own it. Having the key to a house isn’t any better. Legalities of home ownership are complex. When you sell a house there’s large amounts of money involved.

Title work is the process where a title attorney looks through something called an Abstract of Title. It’s a large collection of legal documents related to a house. Then the title attorney compares this information with information from other sources. After that the title attorney can determine who legally owns the house.

How Do You Determine What You Will Pay For My House?

Figuring our what price we can pay for a house isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s more of an art than a science. And it requires years of experience to get right.

We have to consider the location, school system, condition of the house and a lot of other things. The clients situation also plays an important role. Your Closing Options Analyst will help you better understand all of these factors.
