Home Buying and Renovation Questions
How does the home-buying process work?
It’s simple and stress-free. First, we gather some basic info about your property. Then we do a quick walkthrough—no cleaning or prep needed. Next, we make a fair cash offer based on your situation and the home’s condition. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 days—or whenever it’s convenient for you.
Do I need to clean or repair my house before selling?
Nope! We buy homes as is. That means you don’t need to spend time or money on repairs, cleaning, or even clearing out unwanted items. Take what you want and leave the rest—we’ll handle the clean-out and renovations.
What types of homes do you buy?
We buy homes in any condition—vacant, outdated, inherited, in foreclosure, damaged, or even hoarder homes. Whether it's a small cosmetic issue or major structural repairs, we’re ready to make an offer.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?
No. As local home-buying investors, we cover all closing costs and charge no commissions or hidden fees. The cash offer we present is the amount you walk away with—simple and transparent.
How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days, but the timeline is completely up to you. Need more time? We can wait. You pick the closing date that fits your needs.
What if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure?
We help homeowners in tough financial spots all the time. If you're behind on your mortgage or trying to avoid foreclosure, selling to us could be a fast and effective solution to protect your credit and unlock the equity you still have in your home.
What if I inherited a home and don’t know what to do with it?
Inherited homes can be overwhelming, especially if you live out of town or the property needs work. We’ll help you through the process, offer a fair cash price, and close on your schedule so you can move forward without the stress.
Will you still buy my home if it has tenants?
In many cases, yes. We review each situation individually and can often work with rental properties that are occupied or have been recently vacated.
Why should I sell to The Good Guys instead of using another investor?
If your home is in great shape and you have time to wait, a realtor may be a good fit. But if you want to sell your house fast in Lincoln, skip repairs, avoid commissions, and choose your own timeline, we’re a faster, simpler alternative. Plus, we’ll give honest advice—even if that means recommending another route.
