Common questions about selling your house to Pro Source Home Buyers

Straight answers to the questions sellers ask us most. Don’t see yours? Call or text us at 865-268-4537. We’re happy to help.

The process

How does selling to Pro Source work?

It’s three simple steps. First, call us or fill out the form and tell us about the house. Next, a local team member comes out to see it, and you get a cash offer within 24 hours, usually the same day. Then, if you say yes, you pick the closing date and we handle the rest.

How fast will I get an offer?

Within 24 hours of our visit. A lot of the time, we can give you an offer within 30 minutes of walking through the house.

What do I need to have ready?

Not much. A recent mortgage statement or any paperwork about liens or probate helps. If you don’t have it, don’t worry. We’ll help you figure it out.

Do I need a lawyer?

You don’t have to. The title company handles the closing. If you’d like a lawyer to look things over, that’s totally fine.

Do I have to commit to anything to get an offer?

Not at all. Your offer is free and comes with no obligation. Take your time, talk it over with your family, and decide. If it’s not right for you, that’s okay. No pressure, no hard feelings.

How long is the visit?

About 30 minutes. We’ll walk through the house, ask a few questions, and answer yours. Please don’t clean or fix anything first.

What happens at closing?

You sign the papers at a licensed title company. It usually takes less than an hour. Your mortgage and any liens get paid off, and you get paid. Our team walks you through it so you know exactly what to expect.

Your offer

Will I get a lowball offer?

We get this one a lot, and it’s a fair worry. But the listing price isn’t what you take home. A typical sale takes out 5–6% for commissions, plus closing costs. The buyer’s inspection usually turns up repairs you’ll have to pay for. And you keep paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities every month you wait.

With us, there are no fees or commissions, we pay the closing costs, and you don’t fix a thing. What really matters is what you walk away with. We’ll be honest and upfront about our number so you can compare for yourself.

Are there any fees or commissions?

None. No fees, no commissions, and we pay all the closing costs.

How does your offer compare to listing with an agent?

Once you take out commissions, closing costs, repairs, and months of bills, many sellers find they end up in a similar spot with us. Just a lot faster, and with a lot less stress. We’re happy to walk through the numbers with you.

How do you come up with my offer?

We look at the house’s condition, its location, what similar homes nearby have sold for, and what it’ll cost to fix up. Because we’ve worked with the same contractors for years, our repair costs are lower than most. That often means we can offer more than other cash buyers.

What if I still owe money on the house?

That’s totally fine. Your mortgage and any liens get paid off at closing, and you keep the rest.

Your house

Do I have to make any repairs?

Nope. We buy as-is. Roof, foundation, old HVAC, code violations. Leave it exactly the way it is.

What kinds of houses do you buy?

Single-family homes, duplexes, multi-family, and rentals, in just about any condition. We’ve bought houses with fire damage, foundation problems, bad roofs, hoarding situations, and everything in between.

Do I have to clean out the house?

No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest. Furniture, boxes, the garage, the shed, even trash. We’ll take care of it after closing.

Can I sell if I have tenants?

Yes. Your tenants can stay right where they are.

Timeline and closing

How fast can you close?

In as little as 7 days. Most sellers close within 2–3 weeks. Need more time? No problem. You pick the date.

Can I stay in the house after closing?

In many cases, yes. If you need extra time to move, just let us know and we’ll work out a plan.

Tough situations

I’m behind on payments. Can you help?

Often, yes. Because we pay cash, we can close fast. That can give you a way to sell before things get worse. Your mortgage gets paid off at closing, and you get what’s left. Timing really matters here, so the sooner you reach out, the more options you’ll have.

What if my family can’t agree on what to do?

You’re not alone. This happens a lot, especially with an inherited house. A real cash offer in writing gives everyone the same number to look at. We’re happy to answer everyone’s questions and walk you all through it.

Can you buy a house in probate, with liens, or with back taxes?

Yes, and don’t worry, this is a big part of what we do. We work with a licensed title company to sort out probate, liens, back taxes, and title issues. Liens and back taxes usually get paid from the sale at closing, so you don’t need cash up front. We’ll walk you through each step.

I live out of state. Can I still sell?

Absolutely. We’ll work with you from wherever you are and take care of things here.
