Frequently Asked Questions
Considering selling your home? That’s completely understandable; most homeowners have questions. Here’s a collection of frequently asked questions with straightforward, honest answers. If you need specific information about your unique situation, please contact us anytime. We’re committed to providing clear guidance tailored specifically to your circumstances.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: This distinction is important. Unlike real estate agents, we don’t list properties. At QC RES LLC, we are direct cash buyers: We purchase homes ourselves in the Quad Cities Area that fit our investment criteria. Because we use our own funds rather than bank financing, we can close quickly and dependably. After acquisition, we may renovate the property for resale or add it to our rental portfolio.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list your property and work to find a buyer, which typically takes 4-6 months in today’s market. When they succeed, they earn a commission of approximately 3-6% of your sale price. For a $100,000 home, that means $3,000-$6,000 coming directly out of your proceeds.
Real estate agents provide valuable services for homeowners who can wait several months and don’t mind paying commission. QC RES LLC offers an alternative approach. As direct buyers rather than agents, we purchase your house outright with cash. This allows us to make decisions within days (sometimes even the same day). We assume all the risk by buying with our own funds, managing any necessary repairs, and marketing the property ourselves to find its next owner.

| Closing Date: | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We typically purchase homes below full retail value, which allows us to make necessary improvements while still achieving a reasonable profit upon resale. We aim for a fair discount that works for both parties. In our experience, many sellers value convenience over maximizing price – they appreciate our ability to pay cash, close quickly (without financing contingencies), and eliminate the need for repairs or agent commissions. If a fast, hassle-free transaction is important to you, we can explore a mutually beneficial arrangement. Remember, our no-obligation offer means you can always decline if it doesn’t meet your needs – but understanding all your options is always helpful!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We believe in complete transparency throughout our evaluation process. To arrive at a fair offer, we carefully analyze several key factors: your property’s location, the extent of necessary repairs, its current condition, and recent comparable sales in your neighborhood. This comprehensive assessment helps us determine a market-informed price that respects your property’s value while accounting for our investment considerations.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is where QC RES LLC truly stands apart – when selling directly to us, there are NO fees or commissions whatsoever. Traditional real estate transactions can cost you up to 6% in listing fees alone. Instead, we present you with a straightforward cash offer, and if you accept, we handle everything with absolutely no hidden costs. We often cover closing expenses too! Our business model only generates profit after we’ve completed renovations and successfully resold the property. By choosing us, you eliminate ongoing property expenses and uncertainties, walking away with cash in hand and complete peace of mind.
Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?
A: Absolutely none. Sharing details about your property allows us to conduct a thorough evaluation, potentially schedule a follow-up call to gather additional information, and then present you with a competitive cash offer. The final decision to move forward with selling to QC RES LLC remains entirely yours. We respect that this is your property and your choice – our goal is simply to provide an option that might better suit your current circumstances.
