FAQ

Are there any hidden extra commissions or fees?

No, the biggest pro offerd by Atlantic RE is that there are no hidden fees or commissions on the sellers side. Also, we will very often pay the closing costs.



Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

We’re not realtors or agents, so no, we don’t list houses on the MLS. We will buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria and add them to our portfolio. We work with investors nationwide so we can resell quickly without making the repairs. This way we save the seller agent commission, closing costs and time!



How are we different from a real estate agent?

Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The average time to sell a property in most markets is between 6-12 months. That time costs the homeowner expenses such as taxes, utilities and maintenance. Most agent’s commission is 6%, all taken from the seller on the total sales price. Agents do provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But we buy fast with cash and without commissions or fees.



What are fair prices for properties?

Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t really aware of the money left on the table after paying an agent’s commission on a traditional real estate deal. That includes many commissions, fees and mostly TIME which equals money! The average time for a property on the market is a couple months in most markets, but waiting for financing, inspections and more can take even more time. We can offer cash, close fast and save you time and fees. If you’re looking to sell your house fast and see value, we believe that we can create a win-win sales price situation. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you do not have to accept our offer and can even counter back.



How do we determine the offer we make?

We believe in a transparent process. We consider the location, necessary renovations, the property’s general condition and then compare recent sales of similar houses in the same area (COMPS). We take all these factors and information into consideration to create a fair price that works for everyone, creating a win-win situation.
