Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. Selling a house is a big decision, and it’s natural to have a few things you’d like to clarify. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we get asked. If you don’t see your question here, please reach out—we’re always here to help! Contact us anytime.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question! No, we won’t be listing your house on the MLS. At Maxpeak Home Solutions, we’re not agents; we’re professional home buyers right here in Savannah, GA. We purchase homes that meet our buying criteria, offering you a straightforward, cash-based transaction. Unlike traditional buyers who depend on bank financing, we don’t have to wait for lender approvals, so we’re able to close on the timeline that works best for you. After the sale, we may choose to make repairs and either resell the home to a new homeowner or keep it as a rental investment.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents focus on listing properties on the open market, often waiting several months for a buyer to come along. They aim to connect you with potential buyers, but the process can take 4-6 months, with the seller often paying a commission of 3-6% of the sale price. For instance, if your home sells for $100,000, that could mean $3,000-$6,000 in commission fees. Agents offer a valuable service, but for those who need to sell quickly or avoid lengthy listing processes, Maxpeak Home Solutions is different.
We buy homes directly from homeowners, providing a cash offer that bypasses the typical wait and uncertainty. Since we’re buying with our own funds, we can often close in days rather than months—sometimes even within 24 hours. Our goal is to make the process as simple as possible: no showings, no open houses, no waiting for the ‘right’ buyer. Just a fair cash offer and a quick, easy sale.
Trying to decide between a traditional sale and selling directly to Maxpeak Home Solutions? We’ve created this simple comparison to help you understand the differences. Our goal is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible, with no hidden fees, surprises, or long waiting periods. See how selling to us can save you time, money, and hassle:
| Selling w/ A Traditional Agent in Savannah | SOLD To Maxpeak Home Solutions | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees | Up to 6%, paid by you, the seller Explanation: With a traditional sale, agent fees can significantly reduce your profit, sometimes by thousands of dollars. | None – Keep every dollar you earn! With us, you avoid paying commissions entirely, keeping your proceeds intact. |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average paid by you, the seller. Explanation: Closing costs add up quickly in a traditional sale, cutting into your earnings even further. | We cover all closing costs. We believe in transparency, so we handle all closing costs, letting you walk away with what was agreed upon. |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency | Yes – Sales can fall through due to inspections or financing issues. Explanation: Traditional sales often include contingencies, which add risk and can derail your plans at the last minute. | None required – No risk of sale falling through. We eliminate contingencies, providing a firm offer without worrying about financing approvals or inspections. |
| Appraisal Needed? | Yes – Often required and can delay the process. Explanation: Appraisals are a standard part of traditional sales, but they can delay your timeline and sometimes lead to price renegotiations. | No Appraisal Needed – We make cash offers right away. With cash offers, we skip appraisals, so there’s no waiting or risk of under-valuation. |
| Average Days Until Sold | +/- 91 Days. Explanation: With a traditional sale, the timeline can be lengthy and uncertain, leaving you in limbo. | Immediate Cash Offers – Close in as little as 7 days. With us, you get a quick offer and can close as soon as you’re ready, often within a week. |
| Number of Showings | Multiple showings, open houses, and interruptions. Explanation: Traditional sales involve frequent showings, disrupting your daily life and requiring you to keep the home in “show-ready” condition. | Just 1 – Private meeting with us only. No open houses or endless showings. Just one meeting, and you’re done. |
| Closing Date | Typically 30-60+ days after accepting an offer. Explanation: In a traditional sale, the closing date can stretch out, often leaving sellers uncertain of when they’ll finalize the sale. | You Choose the Date – We work on your timeline. We let you pick the date that works best for you, providing full flexibility. Choose the Date – We work on your timeline |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period. Explanation: Repair requests can add significant costs and delays in traditional sales. | We Pay for All Repairs – Sell as-is, no repairs needed. With Maxpeak Home Solutions, you can sell your property exactly as it is. No repairs or improvements required. |

Our offer is what you’ll receive at closing, plain and simple. In many cases, we’ll even cover the closing costs!

If not, there’s no pressure or obligation to proceed. We’re here to offer you options, not to make decisions for you.
