Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. The choice will be up to you. Here at Market Connect Realty, we represent professional home buyers and we also have significant expertise in listing properties to achieve top dollar. Our investors buy houses around Orlando that meet their purchasing criteria, and they don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about their ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, they may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental.
Q: How are you different from other real estate agents?
A: Most Real estate agents only list properties on the MLS. While this can potentially net you the most proceeds it may take significantly longer depending on the features, condition, and area of your home. We on the other hand prefer to put the power in your hands. Our investor partners will pay cash for your house and close quickly without you having to do any repairs or even move everything out. We will show you both paths as well as the estimated net proceeds for both and estiated time before you get paid and then you can choose what is best for you.

Q: Do your investors pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses our investors purchase are below market value. They do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. They are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, our partners close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to 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 win-win price for both parties. We will also show you your estimated proceeds from listing with one of our experienced listing specialists and let you choose what works best for you. Either way our no-obligation appointment commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with with either path… but it’s good to know what we’re offering to accomplish for you.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: This is what makes buying from our investors stand out from the traditional method of selling your house: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to our investor partners compared to paying listing fees. We’ll also show you what you could expect to net after all fees and costs if you list the home through one of our listing specialists. Then you can decide what path is best for you.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and provide you with an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for our investors. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house for cash, list it with one of our professional listing specialists or keep the house and allow us to move on. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
