Frequently Asked Questions
We know selling a house can bring up a lot of questions. To make things easier, here are clear answers to some of the most common ones we receive. If you need more details, feel free to reach out to our team at National Houses.
How fast can I sell my home with National Houses?
Much quicker than the traditional market. In many cases, we can provide an offer within 24–48 hours of seeing your property. Once you decide to move forward, closing can take as little as 7 days, though it may extend up to 2–3 weeks depending on your situation. By skipping mortgage approvals and lengthy inspections, the process is much faster and simpler.
Can I sell if I don’t live in the area?
Yes. We regularly work with out-of-state owners. Everything can be handled digitally, from paperwork and communication to closing through trusted local title companies. No matter where you’re located, National Houses will make the process smooth and efficient.
What if my property is in foreclosure?
Selling directly to us can be a good option if you’re facing foreclosure. Since we move quickly, many homeowners are able to settle debts before the foreclosure is finalized, which helps reduce financial pressure. If you’re in this situation, time is important—reaching out sooner gives you more options.
Do I need to fix or upgrade my house first?
No. One of the biggest benefits of working with National Houses is that we buy properties “as-is.” You won’t need to spend money or time on repairs. We evaluate the property’s current condition and make a fair offer based on that.
Will I need to host showings?
Not at all. Unlike a traditional sale where multiple buyers tour your home, we usually only need one walkthrough. This keeps things private, simple, and convenient.
How do you determine my home’s value?
We consider several factors: the current condition of your house, recent sales of comparable homes in your area, local market conditions, and any potential repair costs. This approach ensures you receive a fair and competitive offer.
Are there hidden fees or commissions?
No. With National Houses, the number we offer is the exact amount you’ll receive at closing. There are no agent commissions, no hidden charges, and no extra costs. Our goal is to keep the entire process transparent, so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
