Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way for me to sell my home?

A: The fastest way to sell your home is through a trusted all-cash buyer like SCORE. We purchase as-is, with no repairs, no agent fees, and no wait – closing on your timeline. By skipping financing, appraisals, repairs, listings, and showings, we make selling your home fast, easy, and stress-free.

What fees or commissions are involved in selling my home to SCORE?

A: Absolutely ZERO! This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling a home: There are NO hidden fees or commissions for you to pay. We make an offer for your home, and if it’s a fit, consider it sold with all closing costs paid! You receive 100% of the price we offer you! No hassles. No fees. We don’t make any money until after we pay for repairs, add value to the home, and sell for a profit. We take on all risk here on whether we sell for a profit or not. Once we step in, the responsibility is ours. You walk away without the burden of the home and its payments – often with cash in your hand!

What types of closing costs do you pay for?

A: Closing costs can be anywhere from 3-7% of the home’s purchase price and includes loan origination fees, underwriting fees, appraisal fees, title fees, and more. With SCORE, you aren’t on the hook for any of these closing costs. WE PAY THEM ALL!

Is there any obligation for me after I submit my information?

A: No, there’s no obligation. Once you call about your home, we’ll take a look at the numbers, maybe set up a time to view the property, and then make you a fair all-cash offer for it. From there, you decide whether you’d like to sell to us or not. We won’t hassle you! You decide on what’s best for you.

Do I need to get my home ready to sell?

A: Absolutely not! With SCORE, there’s no need to do any prep work at all to sell to us. We buy homes in as-is condition, so there is no need to repair, stage, or even clean your home. Simply contact us for a cash offer, take what items you need, and we’ll handle the rest—no hassle, no cost, no stress.

What is the most profitable way for me to sell my home?

A: The most profitable way to sell your home truly depends on your situation. While a traditional sale with a realtor might yield a higher sales price, selling to an all-cash buyer, like us, can be more profitable for a person who wants to avoid shelling out to things like repairs, staging fees, agent commissions, and closing costs. SCORE offers a cash sale without any unnecessary fees or commissions, giving you an easy sale that allows you to sell quickly, keep more of your equity, and put more money into your pocket.

Do you pay fair prices for homes in South Orange County, California?

A: Yes! SCORE provides fair, competitive cash offers based on the home’s current condition and current market value. While a traditional sale may offer a higher list price for your home, working with a cash buyer like SCORE, saves you time spent on the market, repair costs, commissions, and closing fees – often making it a much more profitable choice.

My home is in great condition, still… I’d like to sell it quickly without the hassle of doing showings. Are we still a good fit to work together?

A: Yes. If convenience and a fair price is most key for you, then absolutely, we’re a great fit! However, in situations like this, our offers will still be competitive, but it’ll be more in line with any other homebuyer/investor. Selling us a home in great condition is more for a seller who prioritizes the speed and convenience of our service, over price.

Can I sell my home to you if I still owe on my mortgage?

A: Yes! You can still sell your South Orange County home – even if you owe on your mortgage. We buy homes with existing loans and work with you to pay off the balance at closing. Our process is fast and simple, helping you avoid foreclosure or financial strain.

Will I need to make repairs before selling my home?

A: No! When you sell your home to SCORE, there’s no need to fix anything. We buy homes as-is, whether they need minor updates or major repairs, allowing you to skip costly renovations and sell stress-free.

Can I get paid before my home is actually sold?

A: Yes! We can advance you up to $20,000 before the close of escrow to help with your cash flow needs. To release the funds, all final inspections must be completed. Your SCORE advisor will provide you with the specific requirements and guide you through the process.

Is there a cost for a home evaluation before receiving an offer from SCORE?

A: No… there is not! We are glad to provide you with a 100% FREE home evaluation! This, right along with us providing you with a FREE no-obligation all-cash offer for your home, proves that there is absolutely ZERO for you to lose by giving us a call.

How do you determine the price you offer for someone’s home?

A: Great question! Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the home, the repairs that are needed (if any), the current overall condition, and the values of comparable homes recently sold in the area. We take every piece of this information into consideration to make sure that we come up with a fair price that not only works for us – but more importantly, one that works for you!

Do I hold any liability once I have sold my home to SCORE?

A: Absolutely not! You have ZERO liability once you’ve sold us your home. SCORE understands the construction and possible downside market risks involved when purchasing your home – and SCORE holds and carries 1000% of that risk.
