Frequently Asked Questions
At Option A Homebuyers, we receive questions about our innovative cash-offer program, so we’ve created this list of our frequently asked questions and our answers. After reviewing the answers to our most frequently asked questions if you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call) and we’ll be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house?
A: We can happily recommend you to one of our local agents that we partner with should you ultimately want to list, but we are first and foremost professional home buyers: We buy houses in Milwaukee that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: How are you different from real estate agents?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. They only get paid if they can sell your house. Real estate agents often struggle with selling houses that are not in move-in condition.
We are homebuyers and buy properties that are in less than pristine condition. We are used to working with houses that are in distressed or as-is condition and with homeowners who want a quick solution to offload an unwanted property. You don’t have to wait months when you sell your house to us. Instead, we can give you payment within days. And the repairs are on us!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Q: How could I save time by working with you?
A: We buy houses in as-is condition. That means we can resolve issues AFTER we purchase the property, like repairs, liens, or estate proceedings. You can walk away from the property and we’ll deal with the stress. Also, we buy in ALL CASH, so you don’t have to wait around months waiting for the property to close. We can often close within 10 – 14 days from the day the seller contacted us.
Q: How could I save money by selling my house to you?
A: Real estate agents are paid via commission. The agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Additionally, there are closing costs, which can be another 2% of the sale price of your house (so another $2,000 per $100,000 of the sale price). Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer.
Also, we buy houses in as-is condition, so you don’t have to pay for any repairs, updates, or renovations. All of this equals more savings for you!
