Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section! We understand that you may have some questions as a seller, and we’re here to help. Below, you’ll find a list of commonly asked questions to guide you through our process. If your particular question isn’t listed, don’t hesitate to give us a call at (612) 430-8822 — we’re happy to talk things through.

1. Who is Henry Home Buyer?

We are a trusted home-buying company that bridges the gap between homeowners and a nationwide network of vetted local real estate investors. Our mission is to help sellers get competitive cash offers and close faster by tapping into investor demand in their specific market. Because our investors are local to your area, they understand neighborhood trends, property values, and timelines, ensuring a smooth, market-savvy transaction from start to finish.

2. Why choose Henry Home Buyer?

We stand out for two essential reasons: transparency and trust. We break down every number we use to calculate your offer so you can understand how we arrived at it. From repair costs to projected resale values and anticipated profit, nothing is hidden. Our goal is to offer you the highest possible price while keeping the process honest and clear. We’re not here to pressure you—we’re here to partner with you.

3. How does our process work?

It all starts when you submit our quick form. One of our team members will promptly reach out to learn more about your property. After gathering key details, we conduct research and schedule a visit to inspect the home. During or shortly after that visit, you’ll receive a no-obligation cash offer.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll work with you to select your ideal closing date—whether that’s fast or flexible. Once closing takes place, you get paid in cash. No listings. No waiting. No surprises.

4. What factors contribute to determining the price we offer for your house?

We use a transparent pricing formula that begins with the After Repair Value (ARV)—this is the estimated market value after renovations. From that number, we subtract estimated repair costs, closing expenses, and a reasonable profit margin for our investor partners.

Rather than listing your home and waiting months, we streamline the process so you can sell quickly, without paying realtor commissions or hidden fees. You’ll always receive a full breakdown of how your offer was calculated.

5. Can I expect a fair price for my house from you?

Yes, fairness is at the heart of our process. While we may not match top-of-the-market retail prices, we save you time, repairs, fees, and stress, which many homeowners find more valuable. We take into account your property’s condition, market trends, and timeline.

In some cases, we also offer creative financing options that can improve your outcome, especially if your home is in good shape or if you’re flexible with terms. We’ll explain every option so you can decide what works best for you.

6. Are there any fees or commissions that I need to pay if I choose to work with you?

Nope! With Henry Home Buyer, there are zero commissions, fees, or closing costs for you to worry about. Unlike traditional real estate agents, we don’t take a cut of your sale. Once you accept our offer, we cover all typical seller-side costs—including title work and legal filings. You keep more of your money, and we make the paperwork simple.

7. What types of homes do you buy?

We buy houses in any condition, price range, and location—whether it’s move-in ready or in need of major repairs. It doesn’t matter if the property is vacant, occupied by tenants, inherited, behind on payments, or facing foreclosure. We’re interested in helping homeowners out of difficult or time-sensitive situations with a straightforward cash solution.

8. What if my house needs a lot of repairs?

That’s perfectly fine! We purchase homes as-is, which means you don’t need to fix anything, clean, or stage it for photos. Whether your home has outdated interiors, water damage, foundation issues, or code violations, we’re still interested. We’ll factor the repairs into our offer and take care of everything after the sale. You won’t have to spend a dime on prep work.

9. How long does it take to close?

You’re in control of the timeline. We can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or longer if you need time to prepare. Because we work with local attorneys, title companies, and investors, the process moves much faster than traditional sales. We’ll coordinate all the paperwork and logistics, you just choose when you want to sell.

10. What happens if I decide not to accept the offer?

There’s absolutely no obligation to accept our offer. We understand that selling a home is a big decision, and you’re free to explore other options. We’ll provide you with a fair, detailed proposal, and even if you don’t move forward, you’ll gain useful insights about your property’s value and potential. No pressure, just honest advice and helpful information.
