Frequently Asked Questions
Selling a home is a big decision, especially when time, repairs, or personal circumstances are involved. Below are answers to the most common questions homeowners ask us when considering selling directly to a cash buyer.
We work with homeowners across New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, including Moncton, Dieppe, Saint John, Fredericton, Halifax, Truro, and surrounding communities.
What to Expect When Selling Your House to Us
These are the questions most homeowners ask when they’re first exploring their options. They explain how our process works and what to expect.
How does selling my house to East Coast Property Buyers work?
We start with a short conversation about your property and your situation. From there, we evaluate the home as-is and make a fair cash offer. There’s no obligation to accept. If you choose to move forward, you pick the closing date and we handle the paperwork.
Do I need to clean or make repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses exactly as they are. That includes homes that need repairs, renovations, clean-outs, or updates. You don’t need to fix, clean, paint, or prepare anything before selling.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no realtor commissions, listing fees, or hidden costs. The offer you receive is the amount you walk away with.
How quickly can you close?
We can close in as little as a few days, or take more time if you need flexibility. Some homeowners need to move quickly, while others need weeks or months. We work around your timeline.
Do you buy houses in my area?
Yes. We work with homeowners across New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, including Moncton, Dieppe, Saint John, Fredericton, Halifax, Truro, Sydney, and nearby communities. If you’re unsure about your location, don’t hesitate to ask.
Situations We Help With
Every homeowner’s situation is different. These questions cover common scenarios we help with and properties that may not be a good fit for traditional listings.
What types of situations do you help with?
We work with homeowners in many different situations, including:
- Inherited properties
- Divorce or separation
- Financial stress or foreclosure
- Rental properties or problem tenants
- Vacant or unwanted homes
- Downsizing or relocation
Even if your situation isn’t listed, we’re happy to talk it through.
Do you buy inherited or probate properties?
Yes. We regularly help families sell inherited homes and can work with multiple decision-makers. We aim to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Can you buy a house with tenants?
In many cases, yes. We buy rental properties with tenants in place and can discuss options that make sense for your specific situation.
What if my house needs major repairs?
That’s not a problem. We buy homes that need cosmetic updates, structural repairs, or full renovations. The condition of the property won’t disqualify it.
Common Concerns Sellers Have (And Honest Answers)
These questions address the concerns many homeowners have about working with a cash buyer. Transparency and respect are core to how we operate.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
No. There is never any obligation. You’re free to review the offer, ask questions, and decide whether it’s right for you. If it’s not, that’s completely okay.
Is selling to a cash buyer safe?
Yes, when you work with experienced and transparent buyers. We operate openly, communicate clearly, and handle all paperwork properly. We encourage homeowners to take the time they need to feel comfortable.
How is this different from selling with a real estate agent?
Selling with an agent usually involves cleaning, repairs, staging, showings, and waiting for a buyer, with commissions deducted at closing. Selling directly to us means no listings, no showings, no repairs, and a clear timeline you control.
What if you can’t buy my house?
Not every situation results in a sale — and that’s okay. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll still do our best to point you toward a solution that makes sense, whether that’s listing with an agent or exploring another option.
