Frequently Asked Questions

For most people this process is new and may seem unusual, so we have provided some frequently asked questions below. If you have other questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. 

 

Q: What makes you different from a traditional real estate agent?
A: Unlike real estate agents, who list your home and wait for a buyer—often taking months and charging a commission of 3% to 6%—we purchase your property directly with cash. This means we can often make an offer within days, if not the same day. By handling repairs and marketing, ourselves, we eliminate lengthy timelines and additional fees, streamlining the sale process for you.

 

Q:  How did you get my information? (If advertising was received by mail)
A: We obtain property information from publicly available sources using a trusted platform called PropStream. This service aggregates data from public records to help us identify properties that may fit our buying criteria. Rest assured, we only use information that is already accessible to the public, and we always handle your data with respect and transparency.

 

Q: Do you list my property on the MLS or purchase it directly?
A: We don't function as real estate agents, so we never list properties on the MLS. At Peak Real Estate, we buy homes outright if they fit our buying criteria. We offer cash transactions and alternative financing options that allow us to close quickly. Once we acquire a property, we may renovate and sell it or hold it as a rental asset.

 

Q: Are your offers fair?
A: Most of the homes that we purchase are typically acquired below market value so we can resell it to another buyer for a profit. With that said most sellers find value in our approach: we opt for an all-cash sale or creative financing which eliminates the need for you to deal with repairs, long waiting periods, or agent fees. There's no obligation to accept our offer—it simply provides you with a straightforward, risk-free option to move forward.

 

Q: What if I’m facing foreclosure, probate, or dealing with a burdensome property?
A: We specialize in providing quick solutions for homeowners in challenging situations. No matter the situation you are in, our approach is designed to help you move forward efficiently.
