How rocBuys works

It's pretty simple, once you submit your house we'll review the details, ask to see it in-person and if everything checks out, we'll make you a cash offer.

How Do I Sell My House Fast For Cash?

We Will Offer You Cash For Your House Fast, In Just 3 Easy Steps

  • Step 1

    First, fill out the form below and let us know more about your property so we can get a better understanding of your situation. You are under no obligation to sell your house to us after submitting your info. We will never share your information.

  • Step 2

    Next, we’ll schedule a time to come see your property, either in-person or virtually online. We want to make sure we respect social distancing and ensure you feel safe as we make you a fair cash offer.

  • Step 3

    If you decide to accept our cash offer, we’ll then schedule a closing date that works for your schedule. Whether you want to close immediately or wait a few months, we will work with you to make it happen. We close at a local title company and we’ll handle the paperwork so it’s stress-free for you.

How do you figure out an offer price to buy my property?

We make our cash offers based on these four criteria

1. After Repair Value “ARV” of the Property

ARV is the value of your house or property after it has been renovated or redone. You arrive at an ARV by calculating local comparable sales that have sold fully renovated in the general area.

2. Renovation Cost (Cost of Repairs We Will Make)

After we purchase a house, we usually need to make repairs and upgrades in order to improve its market value and bring it up to code. These kinds of upgrades range from repainting the house to replacing the bathroom tile to adding a back porch to redoing the landscaping, and more.

3. Our Selling Costs

When the property is ready to be sold again, we know that certain costs are going to come with that process. Remember, you will never have to pay any commissions or fees when you’re selling your house to us. That said, we will almost certainly have to pay some of those costs, including taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and more. So, we need to consider those costs when we make our offer.

4. Our Minimum Profit

 Since we’re a business and we do this to support our employees and families, we have to consider potential profits whenever we buy a house for cash. That said, we want to make sure it’s clear that we try our best to keep our profit to a minimum because we want to make sure we pay you we are paying you as much as we can for your house or property.

I’ve accepted your offer, now what? How long until we close?

Just ask any of the “companies that buy houses” and they will tell you the closing process takes around 2-4 weeks, depending on your unique situation. Of course, that assumes you want to close immediately, though you have the option to move slower if you prefer it.

1. Open Escrow & Order Inspections

Once you decide you want to accept our offer and sell your house for cash, we will send the purchase agreement as well as other required paperwork to our local title company. We will also deposit the earnest money. Next, someone from our team will touch base to provide you with all the information you need and let you know if there’s anything else the title company requires. The title company will then order a title and lien search. While that’s happening, we’ll schedule an inspection date that can be done either in-person or virtually.

Timeframe: 24-72 Hours

2. Conduct Inspections & Address Any Title Or Lean Concerns

Once the inspection has been completed, we’ll have a good idea of what kind of repairs and renovations will need to happen on our end. This may end up requiring an in-person home inspection, too. We definitely want to make sure we respect everyone’s personal space during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we will wear face coverings and remain socially distant during in-person visits. If the title company is made aware of any title or lien issues, they’ll ask for additional information so that they can remedy the problems. Once that’s done, the title is likely to be clear and the sale will be able to move forward.

Timeframe: 1-2 Weeks

3. Scheduling The Closing & Getting You Paid!

Once Step 1 and Step 2 are done, it’s time for us to schedule the closing and get you paid in cash! We can close at the title company or they can send a mobile notary to you at a specific date, whatever feels right for you. Once all of the documents are signed, we’ll wire money to your bank account or we can cut you a check from the title company. Again, it’s entirely up to you. This usually happens the same day that you sign the documents, though it is possible that it can take one business day in some rare instances.

Timeframe: 1-7 days

Selling for cash eliminates the hassle

No need to deal with realtors, banks appraisers, or inspections. We fast-track the process to get you paid quickly.

No Clean up, No Repair

We buy homes in the condition that they are. There's no need for you to clean the home or repair anything.

No Commissions

Since it's a private sale, there are no agents to pay commission to. You keep more money in your pocket.

No Formal Inspection Needed

We buy the home as-is. There's no formal inspection during the buying process to slow us down.

No Delays Closing

We work on your terms. Since we're paying cash there's no waiting on banks, appraisers, or inspectors. 

Questions you may have

Here's a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us. If you don't see an answer to your question here don't hesitate to reach out.

  • Do you pay fair prices for properties?

    Many of the houses we purchase are below market value and we are looking to get a fair discount on a property (this is so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner).

    Many of our sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees.

    If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. There's no obligation to move forward with the offer we provide… but it’s good to know what we’re offering.

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

    We are professional home buyers in Rochester, NY and we are interested in buying homes that meet our buying criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental property.

  • How are you different from a real estate agent?

    Real estate agents normally seek to list properties, show them to prospective buyers and take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. The agent’s commission can be up to 6-7% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay up to $7,000 in commission to an agent).

    Agents provide a great service for those that can wait the time it takes to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions.

  • So how do you make money?

    We make money by repairing and selling homes we purchase. Depending on the home we may list it for sale or rent it out.

  • How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

    We look at the location of the property, the current condition, what repairs are needed, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently. With that information in mind we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you.

  • If I sell you my house are there any fees or commissions that I have to pay?

    There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your house (and we may pay for the closing costs too!).

  • Is there any obligation when I inquire about selling my home?

    There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at the information, set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us.

    It’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We will not hassle or harass you and there is no obligation for you to sell.
