FAQ – FreQuestions About Selling Your House for Cash

Considering an as-is sale? Here are answers to common questions about working with me, Kevin, at Kev Buys Houses NC. If your question isn’t covered, call or text (984) 205-1655.

Will you list my house on the MLS?

No. I’m evaluating your property as a potential buyer, rather than offering to list it as your agent. If we agree on a purchase, you won’t need an MLS listing or public showings to sell directly to me.

Depending on the property, I may renovate and resell it or keep it as a rental.

How do you determine your cash offer?

I consider the property’s location, condition, needed repairs, and comparable nearby sales. I also account for the costs of purchasing, renovating, holding, and eventually selling or renting the property.

My experience as a licensed general contractor helps me evaluate repair needs. I’ll discuss the main factors behind my offer so you can decide whether it works for you.

Will your offer match what I could get by listing with an agent?

Not necessarily. A direct investor offer will generally reflect the repairs, costs, and potential return involved in purchasing the property.

Listing on the open market may produce a higher sale price. Selling directly to me may suit you if you value an as-is sale, fewer showings, and an agreed closing schedule. Compare your expected proceeds, expenses, and timing before deciding.

Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house?

You don’t need to renovate or make repairs before requesting an offer. I evaluate houses in their current condition.

If you have belongings or debris you would like to leave behind, tell me during our conversation. We’ll agree on what stays and what you’ll remove before closing.

Are there fees or agent commissions?

I don’t charge a fee to request an offer or an agent commission for selling directly to me.

We’ll specify the closing costs I agree to cover in the purchase agreement. Your final proceeds will also reflect any mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, or other amounts you owe.

How quickly can we close?

If you need a quick sale, we can discuss whether closing in approximately two weeks is possible. Timing depends on the property details, title work, and the closing attorney’s availability.

If you need longer to move or organize your next step, let me know. We’ll discuss a closing date before signing an agreement.

Can I request an offer for an inherited house?

Yes. Tell me about the property and who is involved in making decisions about the sale.

An inherited property may require estate or title matters to be resolved before closing. The closing attorney can identify what is needed for the transaction.

Can you buy a rental with tenants?

I consider tenant-occupied properties. Let me know about the lease, occupancy, rent payments, and any access restrictions.

We’ll discuss whether the property fits my purchasing criteria and how a possible sale would be coordinated.

What areas do you serve?

My primary market is Raleigh and Wake County. I also consider properties in Clayton, Smithfield, Four Oaks, Durham, Sanford, Roxboro, and nearby communities.

Contact me with the property address, and I’ll let you know whether it’s an area where I’m considering purchases.

Who will I work with?

You’ll work directly with me, Kevin Lenard. I’m a real estate investor and licensed general contractor based in Raleigh.

Am I obligated to accept an offer?

No. Submitting your information or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell.

If you choose to move forward, we’ll review the proposed terms and sign a purchase agreement. That agreement sets out each party’s obligations.

What happens after I contact you?

We’ll discuss the property, its condition, and your plans. If it looks like a fit, we’ll arrange a visit and I’ll evaluate a possible cash offer.

If we agree on the terms, the closing attorney will coordinate the title work and closing. You can also read more about how the process works.
