1. What Makes Heberer Homes Different from Selling My House Through a Realtor?
Selling through a realtor in markets like Des Moines, Iowa City, Quad Cities, or Cedar Rapids involves listing on the MLS and waiting for a buyer, which can take time and involve fees, including agent commissions and closing costs. Heberer Homes offers an alternative: we’re cash buyers interested in purchasing your home directly, without the need for lender financing. This means no commission, covering all closing costs, and providing a quick, hassle-free sale.
2. Is Selling to Heberer Homes the Best Option for Me?
If you’re facing challenges like repairs, a fast-approaching moving date, or simply wish to avoid the hassle of endless showings, selling to us can offer a swift and efficient resolution. We assess your situation, cover all related expenses for the sale, and provide a fair cash offer. Our process is particularly beneficial for quick sales, freeing you from the traditional, often tedious, selling process.

6. What Happens to My House After I Sell It to You?
Upon purchase, we embark on renovating and preparing the house for its next chapter, aiming to enhance community value and provide quality homes for future buyers. Our process includes handling all necessary repairs, navigating the Iowa real estate purchase agreement intricacies, and ensuring the property shines once again, ready for its new owners.
7. How Many Houses Do You Buy?
Our goal is to assist as many homeowners as possible, which means we’re actively buying houses throughout Iowa, from Des Moines to Davenport IA/Bettendorf IA. By working with a network of partners and maintaining a focus on fair, reasonable profits, we ensure our solutions are accessible to all.
8. How Do You Determine the Price for My House?
We calculate the offer for your house based on the After Repair Value (ARV), considering repair costs, necessary renovations, and selling expenses. Our transparent process ensures you understand how we arrive at our offer, reflecting the fair market value and saving you from the uncertainty and expenses of selling traditionally, such as through FSBO listings or with a realtor. You can also find this information on our How We Buy Houses page.
9. Do You Provide a Fair Price?
Absolutely. Our reputation hinges on our commitment to fairness and transparency. By breaking down the costs and value added through repairs and renovations, we ensure our offers are competitive and reflective of the current Iowa real estate market conditions, from urban Des Moines to the rural towns of the state of Iowa and the Quad Cities.
10. Do I Need to Clean or Repair My House Before Selling?
No, you don’t. One of the advantages of selling to Heberer Homes is that we buy houses as-is. You can save on the costs and effort of cleaning and repairs, making your selling experience as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
11. Will You Buy My House If It’s in Poor Condition?
Yes, we specialize in buying homes regardless of their condition. Our team is ready to tackle any project, big or small, intending to revitalize properties and neighborhoods across Iowa.
12. Is Listing My House with an Agent on the MLS a Better Option?
While listing with an agent might be suitable for some, it often involves a longer selling process, with additional fees and commissions. Heberer Homes provides an alternative that is fast, efficient, and free of the typical costs associated with selling through a realtor.
13. Will You List My House on the MLS?
No, we don’t list houses on the MLS because we are not real estate agents; we are direct buyers. Our process ensures you receive a fair cash offer and a quick closing, bypassing the conventional listing process and its associated delays and costs.
14. Should I Just List My House with an Agent?
This depends on your specific situation and goals. While a realtor can offer exposure to the MLS, Realtor.com, and Zillow, selling to Heberer Homes can be the ideal solution for a faster sale and immediate cash, especially if you’re looking to avoid the complications of repairs, showings, and uncertain closing timelines.
15. How Can I Sell My House Quickly for Cash?
For a quick, cash sale of your house in Iowa, turning to Heberer Homes is your best bet. Our process is designed to be swift and straightforward, providing you with a cash offer and closing on your timeline, offering a practical alternative to the traditional, often prolonged selling methods.
16. Are There Any Fees or Commissions Involved?
With Heberer Homes, there are no fees or commissions. Our direct buying approach means you receive a net offer without the deductions typical in traditional sales. We handle all associated costs, providing a clear, concise, and fair cash offer for your property.
17. Am I Obligated to Accept Your Offer Or Work With Heberer Homes After I Fill OUt The Form?
Absolutely not. Our process is designed to be pressure-free, giving you the information and offer without any obligation. You have complete freedom to choose what’s best for you and your family.
