Frequently Asked Questions
What if my house is in foreclosure?
If your house is in foreclosure then you likely need to make a decision as quickly as possible.
Time is of the essence in these situations. However, we can usually purchase a house that is in foreclosure up to just a week or two before the house goes to auction.
What if my house is in disrepair?
If your house is in disrepair then you are in good hands. The majority of the houses we buy need some repairs, ranging from a few small repairs all the way to major whole house renovations. When listing your house on the market with a Realtor you normally need it to be as perfect as possible, whereas we actually prefer some distress as that is how we create the value.
How long does the process take?
The quickest we have ever completed a closing is 2 weeks. However, we always try to allow for four weeks and that gives enough time to get the abstract updated, title completed, and closing arranged.
Are there any fees I will have to pay in the process?
No. We pay all the closing costs, abstract, and title costs. The only thing you pay for is your share of the taxes.
Can I save my credit if you buy the house before the bank forecloses?
Yes. A foreclosure is quite damaging to a credit score and generally takes years to recover. We can likely help you avoid foreclosure and save your credit.
Do I need to be present for the process if I live out of the area?
You do not need to be present. We have purchased from many people that live out of state. The closing documents just need to be notarized and we can assist with lining up a notary for you if needed. From there the closing docs can be sent it.
Will you buy if the home is vacant?
Yes. We buy homes that are both occupied and vacant.
What is the process to get an offer on my house?
It is a very simple process.
You simply contact us, provide a little information and schedule an appointment for one of our team members to meet at the house.
From there we do a simple inspection to determine the condition and value of the home. After that we have a conversation to see if we are able to come to terms and if so we finalize and agreement with a purchase agreement.
Once that is in place we move forward to closing and can set a closing date that is convenient for you.
Whether your house needs some major renovations or is in pristine condition, we want to buy it!
Whatever the condition, you won’t find an easier way to sell as-is for cash.
“Lane Investments purchased the house of my brother in its ‘as is’ condition after he unexpectedly passed away. Mark’s whole team from the staff in the office, the field coordinator/broker and general contractors to the owners proceeded in a friendly practical manner so that the transaction went smoothly without any fuss or drama. I was appreciative that they were responsive and accommodating to my schedule. I am pleased to know that Lane Investments has solid plans to make improvements to the property that will make the house a pleasing and comfortable home for the next family to live in.”
