FAQ
Have some questions about selling your house?
We know that selling a house for cash to a company like ours is a big decision. The questions below are common things we get asked about the process and Fantastic Homes.
Real estate agents in list properties with the hope of finding a buyer, often taking 6-12 months and charging a commission of 3-6% of the sale price. They provide a valuable service for those who can afford to wait and pay commission fees. Fantastic Homes’s approach, however, is distinct: We are home buyers, not agents. We actually purchase houses, often making a decision within a couple of days (or even the same day). We invest our own money to buy, repair, and market the houses, assuming the risk and responsibility for the property.
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, including distributing assets to heirs and paying off any debts. If you’ve inherited a property through probate, you may need to sell it to divide the proceeds among heirs, pay estate taxes, or simply because you don’t want to keep the property.
Our unique approach means that there are no fees or commissions when you sell your house to Fantastic Homes. We will present you with an offer, and if you accept it, we will buy your house, often covering closing costs as well.
We specialize in purchasing probate properties quickly and efficiently. We understand the complexities involved in probate cases and can guide you through the process. By offering a cash purchase, we help you avoid the usual delays and complications of selling a property, providing a stress-free solution during a difficult time.
While many of the properties we purchase are priced below market value, we aim provide a fair offer we both will benefit from. We find that many sellers value the advantages of our cash offers, quick closings, and hassle-free transactions over the traditional way to sell your home. If you are interested in a fast and convenient sale, let’s work together to reach a fair, mutually beneficial agreement. Remember, our no-obligation pricing commitment means you are free to decline our offer if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

Selling your home before foreclosure can help you:
- Avoid damaging your credit score.
- Prevent a public foreclosure auction.
- Potentially retain some equity from the sale.
- Eliminate the stress and uncertainty of the foreclosure process.
