But just like any other line of work \u2013 a minority of house buyers in any market are the ones who\u00a0make\u00a0the rest of us look bad.<\/p>\n<p>There are people who are really great, ethical folks who improve their neighborhoods one property at a time.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s shady, dishonest people who put money ahead of the well being of their clients and\u00a0who would sign the contract to sell their own grandmother with one hand while stabbing you in the back with the other \u2013 as long\u00a0as they were making enough money.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they are out there.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll help you avoid these &#8220;shady house buyers&#8221; so you can work with honest, ethical, and reputable local companies who can buy your house for a fair all cash offer and close on your schedule.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s not focus on the negative \u2013 at least not yet.<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s cover exactly what the best house-flippers are doing.<\/p>\n<h2>What Reputable Detroit House Buyers Are Doing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Helping folks improve their lives by accessing the money they need<\/strong><strong>right away.<\/strong> People often need the cash in their house to cover unexpected\u00a0medical expenses, or to relocate to be close to a relative. We can <a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make that happen<\/a> in just a few days, and we deliver peace of mind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helping sellers get rid of a burdensome property without the hassle<\/strong> of having to list it with a broker and wait months and month for a sale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creating local jobs.<\/strong> We hire plumbers, contractors, electricians, brokers,\u00a0title reps, loan officers, administrators and many other folks along the way. The average real estate transaction involves 86 people from start to finish.\u00a0Our investments help create real jobs for people around Detroit MI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buying US products.<\/strong> We spend tons of money on materials that are made\u00a0right here in the USA \u2013 that creates jobs in our timber mills, factories, supply\u00a0shops, distribution centers and more. The US economy depends on steady\u00a0improvement, and that requires investment from folks like us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increasing the value of Detroit neighborhoods.<\/strong> When we improve a house,\u00a0we\u2019re helping to increase the value of the entire community. We often repair\u00a0abandoned and neglected houses, turning them into beautiful homes for\u00a0families. That activity strengthens Detroit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increasing the tax base.<\/strong> When a new buyer takes over one of our\u00a0properties, they\u2019ll pay a higher tax rate based on the new and improved\u00a0value. Those taxes go to pay for our schools, fire, police, libraries, streets and\u00a0other valuable pieces of infrastructure. \u00a0Again, improving our neighborhoods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pretty cool stuff, right?<\/p>\n<p>Lots of people think of house-flipping as a get-rich-quick scheme. That\u2019s fueled by\u00a0silly \u201creality\u201d shows that amp up the drama because the reality of what we do on a\u00a0daily basis is actually pretty boring.<\/p>\n<p>Most of our work is coordinating with lots of people to make sure things are\u00a0happening on time. We have to keep track of lots of moving parts.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s get back to how you can use this information to find out if someone is a\u00a0credible investor, and not just pulling a <em><strong>house buying scam<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Ensure You&#8217;re Working With A Reputable Local House Buyer<\/h2>\n<p>When you talk with a local house buyer to potentially buy your house&#8230; ask them some of the questions below to ensure they&#8217;re reputable, knowledgeable, and honest.<\/p>\n<p>Ask open-ended questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you help your clients?<\/li>\n<li>What do you do for people?<\/li>\n<li>Can you tell me more about your services?<\/li>\n<li>What aspect of your business makes you the proudest?<\/li>\n<li>How would you describe your investment philosophy?<\/li>\n<li>How can I know that you&#8217;ll close on my house when you say you will?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Second, <strong><em>look for tell tale signs<\/em><\/strong> of tactics that those few shady operators tend to use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Kitchen table closings&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; If a property buyer tries to get you to sign the deed (ownership) of your house over to them at your house, rather than a professional place like a closing attorney or title company&#8230; be leery. \u00a0Most reputable house buying services will perform the actual closing of the sale at a neutral 3rd party place&#8230; like a title company. This ensures everything is done right and on the up and up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pressuring you into a fast closing<\/strong> &#8211; If a house buyer tries to pressure you into selling your house and says that you have to make the decision today, be leery. Most reputable house buying services will make you and offer and that offer will be on the table for at least 2-7 days (minimum) for you to make a decision. \u00a0The reason reputable house buying services like ours at Chris Buys Homes in Detroit do place deadlines on our offers is because the market changes and values can change week to week depending on other sales in the area, also&#8230; we buy multiple houses a month and when we make you an offer we&#8217;re assuring you that the cash to purchase your house is ready and we&#8217;ll reserve that cash for several days so if you do want to sell your house, we can close on your schedule. \u00a0If you feel the offer isn&#8217;t a fit for you, then we&#8217;ll assign those funds to help another seller with their home sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most scammers are looking for a quick score, and not an in-depth interview.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are good that they\u2019ll find excuses to get off the phone and move on to\u00a0someone who doesn\u2019t ask too many questions.<\/p>\n<p>True investors who run honest and ethical Detroit house buying services, however, are building long-term businesses based on relationships\u00a0and community development.<\/p>\n<p>So when you&#8217;re looking at one of the &#8220;<em><strong>we buy houses in Detroit companies<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;&#8230; never be afraid to ask questions!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Give us a call anytime at (313) 217-9851 or<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fill out the form\u00a0on this website today! &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been driving around in Detroit, chances are you&#8217;ve seen some billboards\u00a0advertising companies that buy houses.
