Q: Will you list my house on the MLS, or will you actually buy it?
A: Excellent question! We’re not real estate agents, so we won’t be listing your house on the MLS. With our Cash Offer Program, we purchase houses directly from homeowners like you, completely eliminating the need for traditional listings or waiting for buyers.
Here at Prime Cash Home Buyers, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Augusta that meet our purchasing criteria and pay in cash, so there’s no need to wait for bank approvals or risk financing falling through. When you sell to us, you don’t need to worry about the delays, showings, or uncertainties that come with listing on the market. Once we purchase a property, we might make necessary repairs and upgrades to resell it to a new homeowner, or we may decide to hold onto it as a rental investment.
This means a faster, simpler process for you with no agent commissions, fees, or the hassle of prepping your home for sale. If you’re looking for a quick and reliable way to sell your house in Augusta, our Cash Offer Program is designed to make the process stress-free and efficient!
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: That’s a great question! Real estate agents typically list properties on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and hope to find a buyer willing to pay their asking price. They act as a representative on your behalf, showing your property to prospective buyers (if there’s interest) and facilitating the sale if an offer comes through. However, the average time to sell a house on the market can range from 45 days to 4 months, depending on market conditions and the property itself.
One important thing to keep in mind is that agents take a percentage of the final sale price as their commission, usually around 3% to 6%. For example, if your house sells for $100,000, you could end up paying $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions alone. This doesn’t even include the potential costs of repairs, staging, and holding the property during the selling period.
While agents provide a valuable service for homeowners who have time to wait and are comfortable paying commissions and fees, that’s not the ideal route for everyone. This is where we come in.
At Prime Cash Home Buyers, we’re not real estate agents we’re professional, cash home buyers. That means we buy houses directly from homeowners like you, and we don’t charge commissions, fees, or closing costs. Since we pay all cash for properties, we can make a decision to buy your house in as little as a few days, sometimes even the same day you contact us!
We also handle any necessary repairs, renovations, and marketing after we purchase your home, so you don’t have to worry about preparing it for sale or waiting for a buyer to come along. Our process is designed to save you time, money, and stress, offering a quick and hassle-free alternative to the traditional home-selling process.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the homes we purchase are below full market value, and that’s because we take on the risk, time, and cost of repairs, renovations, and resale. As professional home buyers, we aim to create a win-win solution for sellers who want a fast, hassle-free sale.
Unlike traditional homebuyers, we use our own funds to purchase properties, eliminating the delays and uncertainties of bank financing. This allows us to offer a streamlined, stress-free closing process on your timeline. Sellers who work with us don’t have to worry about agent commissions, staging, open houses, or costly repairs. Many of the homeowners we work with value speed, certainty, and convenience over getting top dollar for their property.
That said, our offers are always fair and based on the condition of your home, the local real estate market, and comparable home sales in your area. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means you’re never pressured to accept an offer—there’s no risk in seeing what we can offer you! If it works for you, great! If not, you have more options to explore.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: We believe in transparency when it comes to our offers.

We assess and analyze market trends and demand in your area to ensure we make you a fair and competitive cash offer; our aim is for our offer to align with the market AND meet your expectations as a homeowner.
Since we handle all repairs and upgrades ourselves, you won’t have to worry about spending time or money fixing up your home before selling. Our goal is to create a win-win situation where you can sell quickly and hassle-free while we take on the work of improving the property.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

Q: Is there any commitment when I provide my information?

Q: What if my house is in probate? Can you still buy it?
A: Yes! If you’ve inherited a property that is tied up in probate, we can help you navigate the process and purchase the home without unnecessary delays.

Q: Can I sell my house if I have a tenant living in it?
A: YES! Whether your tenant is on a lease, renting month-to-month, or even if they are behind on rent, we can still purchase your property.

We can work with you on the best solution, whether that means honoring the current lease or assisting with the transition.
Q: What if I owe back taxes or liens on my property?
A: We can still buy your house, even if you owe back property taxes, HOA fees, or have outstanding liens.

Q: What if I need to sell but don’t have a new place to move to yet?
A: We understand that selling a home and finding a new place to live can be a stressful process. That’s why we offer flexible closing dates and even a Temporary Lease-Back Program for qualified sellers. This program allows you to sell your home, receive your cash, and remain in the property for a set period while you transition to your next home. We’ve helped homeowners in similar situations by covering storage costs, providing upfront cash assistance for securing a new place, and offering additional support to make the transition smoother! If you need extra time before moving, let us know, and we can work out a plan that meets your needs. Get A Cash Offer Today!
Q: Do I need to clean out the house before selling?
