Frequently Asked Questions


There’s a good chance you have a question or two lingering around in your head.

It’s expected. Selling your house is a big deal and it raises a lot of great questions that you should have solid answers for. Below is a list of common questions but if yours is not on there, then please call us at (302) 600-0699 or fill out our Contact Us form, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.


1. How is selling to Born To Buy Houses different from using a real estate agent?

Selling through an agent often means long waits, endless showings, and costly repairs. Agents list your house on the MLS and hope for a buyer to come along. It can take months, and you’ll pay commission, closing costs, and more.

With Born To Buy Houses, there’s no waiting, no fees, and no stress. We make you a cash offer for your house as-is—no repairs, no cleaning, no hidden costs. Once we agree on a price, we close on your timeline. Think of it as skipping the headaches and jumping straight to the good part: cash in your pocket!

2. How do I know this is the right choice for me?

Here’s the deal: If you need speed, simplicity, and certainty, we’re your best option. Whether you’re facing foreclosure, relocating, or just don’t want the hassle of listing, we make the process seamless. We’ll walk you through every step and even let you know if a traditional sale would be better for your situation. No pressure, just honest advice.

3. Who is Born To Buy Houses?

Whether it’s a fixer-upper or a pristine property, my team and I specialize in making fair cash offers and closing quickly. Our goal? To provide a service that’s as smooth and reliable as possible while treating you like a partner, not a transaction.

4. How does the process work?

It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Reach Out: Fill out our form or call us with basic details about your property.
  2. Get Your Offer: We assess your home and give you a no-obligation cash offer in as little as 24 hours.
  3. Close & Celebrate: Choose your closing date, and we handle the rest. No fees, no delays—just fast cash in your hands!

5. Why should I choose Born To Buy Houses?

Transparency, speed, and fairness. We’re not here to lowball you or drag you through hoops. Our offers are based on clear calculations, and we’re upfront about every penny. Plus, we buy houses fast—no waiting, no wondering. Homeowners across Delaware trust us because we deliver on what we promise.

6. What happens to my house after you buy it?

Once we purchase your home, we handle the repairs and upgrades to give it a fresh start. Depending on the property, we might resell it or rent it out. Either way, our mission is to breathe new life into your house and contribute to the neighborhood’s value.

7. Do you only buy homes in perfect condition?

Not at all! Whether it’s outdated, damaged, or downright falling apart, we’ll make you an offer. We specialize in buying properties as-is, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

8. How do you determine the price for my house?

We start with the property’s after-repair value (ARV)—the price it could sell for once fixed up. From there, we subtract estimated repair costs, closing fees, and a modest profit margin. The result? A fair cash offer you can count on.

9. Do I need to clean or repair anything before selling?

Absolutely not! Leave the clutter, broken appliances, or even that avocado-green carpet from the ’70s—we’ll take care of it all. You just focus on what’s next.

10. Am I obligated to sell my house if I contact you?

No way! Requesting an offer is 100% free and comes with zero obligations. We’ll provide the info, and you make the decision that’s best for you.

11. Can’t I just list my house with an agent?

Of course, you can! But keep in mind: listings take time, money, and patience. Between repairs, showings, and waiting for the right buyer, it could take months. If you’re ready to skip all that and sell directly for cash, we’re here to help.

12. How quickly can you close on my house?

We can close in as little as 10 days—or on a timeline that works best for you. Whether you need speed or flexibility, we’ve got you covered.

13. Are companies like yours legit?

Yes! But not all are created equal. At Born To Buy Houses, we pride ourselves on transparency and a stellar track record. Check out our testimonials and see why homeowners trust us to deliver what we promise.

14. Where in Delaware do you buy homes?

We cover the entire First State, end to end. If you home address has “DE” in the address, we can buy it!
