Frequently Asked Questions
To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If you have any questions about selling your house to us, we’re here to help. Feel free to reach out or call us at (406) 861-4229 anytime.
1. How is using Billings Homebuyers different from selling my house with the help of a real estate agent?
The are three main differences. The first is the guarantee. When you sell your house to Billings Homebuyers, the amount we offer in the beginning is what shows up in your bank account at closing, and the closing date doesn’t change either. When you work with a real estate agent, your house can sell for less than they originally expected, closings can get extended or canceled entirely, and potential buyers can ask for all kinds of repairs to happen after you’ve already accepted their offer. The second difference is the flexibility. Whether you want to get paid for your house before you move out or you want to sell your house with everything in it, Billings Homebuyers can accommodate about any request you have for the sale of your house. When you sell your house with a real estate agent, you have to stick to the traditional process which includes cleaning, repairs, showings, and uncertainty. The last difference is price. It’s generally the case that selling your property to a cash buyer will result in a lower price, so if you have a house that’s in good shape and you don’t mind the downsides of the traditional selling process, that route might be better for you. However, in some cases our offers end up being better than what you’d be able to get on the market. Because we have so much experience in real estate, we have more ways to profit from a deal than the typical buyer including development, additions, and seller financing.
2. Are you still able to buy my house if it’s already listed with a real estate agent?
Yes, we have bought several houses that had already been listed with a real estate agent by the seller. If your house was already listed with an agent, we would still go through our normal process of getting you an offer. However, if you decide our offer is acceptable, you have to talk to your agent first to figure out a path forward that will work for them as well. Agents can invest a lot of time and money into a listing, so we try to work out a way to keep them happy if their seller decides to got the cash offer route. We have to be careful not to burn bridges with local agents because our success depends on our reputation with other professionals in the industry.

Our goal is to offer the best value for your property while highlighting the time and financial benefits of selling to us. With honesty and fairness at the core of everything we do, we’ve built a strong reputation in Montana. By prioritizing integrity, we’ve become a trusted cash buyer for homeowners. We take the time to understand your timeline, address your concerns, and tailor an offer to your needs.

6. What do you do with my house once you buy it?
After purchasing your property, we handle all repairs and renovations to meet HGTV standards. We then collaborate with a trusted agent to list and manage the sale, covering all expenses—including repairs, closing fees, and commissions. Our goal is to earn a fair profit that allows us to assist more clients with their property sales. We are dedicated to improving communities and supporting the local economy by enhancing property values across the state.
7. How many houses do you buy?
Our approach focuses on acquiring multiple properties to provide competitive pricing. Although we work with tighter profit margins, our broad client base enables us to support many individuals and positively impact the communities we serve. If we’re unable to purchase your property directly, one of our trusted investment partners may be able to assist. We collaborate closely with experienced house-flipping experts and local attorneys to ensure a smooth and efficient closing process.
8. How is the price you pay for my house determined?
Our process starts with evaluating your property’s After-Repair Value (ARV)—its estimated worth after renovations. A specialist will visit to assess repair, refurbishment, and selling costs. When you sell directly to us, you avoid real estate agent fees, although we do hire an agent to list the property after purchase. We cover all holding costs, closing fees, taxes, and commissions—typically around 10% of the ARV. From the ARV, we deduct repair and selling expenses plus our minimum profit margin to provide a fair offer. This offer often matches what you’d receive in a traditional sale, minus agent fees. Selling to us means a fast cash sale without the delays or hassles of working with an agent.
9. Do you pay a fair price?
Our core values emphasize maintaining a strong reputation and upholding the highest standards of integrity in every transaction. This commitment ensures fair and transparent pricing. We provide a clear breakdown of every dollar and explain how we arrive at our offer. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your property’s market value, considering repairs, renovations, and selling costs. After this review, we add a reasonable commission to present a cash offer that accurately reflects your property’s worth.
10. Do I need to clean my house before you buy it?
One of the biggest advantages of our process is the peace of mind it provides. You can sell your property as-is—no cleaning or repairs needed. Once we purchase your home, we take care of everything, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Our clients appreciate the convenience and efficiency we deliver.
11. Will you still buy my house if it is in poor condition?
House flipping is at the heart of our business strategy. After purchasing a property, we increase its value through essential repairs and upgrades—saving you the hassle and offering a competitive price without the usual delays of traditional sales. While most transactions take about a month, we often close within two to three weeks. Our goal is to make selling your property smooth, fast, and hassle-free.
12. Wouldn’t it be easier to list my house with an agent on MLS?
Partnering with a real estate agent to list your property can be effective but often results in a lengthy and stressful process. You’ll need to coordinate with buyers, appraisers, and inspectors, manage repairs, and wait for the right offer. While renovations might boost your asking price, they can be expensive. Hosting open houses and facing price reductions after months without offers can be frustrating, and closing may take weeks. In contrast, we provide a fast, hassle-free solution with a quick cash offer, helping you move forward smoothly—without the typical delays or stress.
13. Will you list my house on the MLS?
Our firm offers a fresh approach to property transactions. Instead of listing homes on the MLS or acting as traditional agents, we buy properties directly from you. We work closely with you to create a personalized offer that meets your needs. From start to finish, we manage the entire process. After purchase, we handle all repairs and renovations before reselling the property for a profit. Our focus on efficiency ensures you receive cash quickly, with no unnecessary delays. We prioritize transparency, clearly explaining how we determine our offers so you stay informed and confident throughout the process.
14. Should I just list my house with an agent?
Working with a real estate agent can be beneficial depending on your timeline and repair needs. However, it often involves a lengthy process with multiple showings, inspections, and potential financing delays, extending the sale over several months. For a faster, more efficient option, Billings Homebuyers offers a smooth, professionally managed experience. We provide quick transactions with immediate cash payment, eliminating the stress of traditional selling for a truly hassle-free process.
15. How do I sell my house quickly for cash?
We specialize in quick cash purchases for properties. Our process starts with a conversation to learn about your property and its location, allowing us to determine its maximum market value. Next, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify any repairs or renovations needed. These costs, along with other selling expenses, are included in our fair and competitive offer. One of the main benefits of working with us is the ability to close in as little as 21 days, giving you fast access to cash. This streamlined approach removes the usual delays and complexities of traditional real estate sales.
16. Do I have to pay fees and commissions if I work with you?
When you work with us, there are no fees or commissions—those traditional costs simply don’t apply. We succeed only when you do, earning our profit after reselling your property. Our simple three-step process begins with an accurate home valuation. Next, we consider any repairs, renovations, and selling expenses, plus a fair margin. Finally, we present a personalized offer just for you. Once accepted, we manage all the paperwork smoothly with the support of a trusted local attorney. It’s a fast, transparent experience—no hidden fees, no surprises—just a clear, confident path to selling your property.
17. Am I obligated to do business with you once I fill out the form?
Once you submit the form, there’s no obligation to move forward with our services. If you choose not to proceed after we start, there are no costs to you. While we believe our approach can benefit you, we fully respect your right to explore other options. Our goal is to find the best solution tailored to your needs.
