Seller FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
"I receive offers for my property all the time, why should I choose Serendipity Investors?"
We believe that we can do business person to person with integrity, expediency and great attention to excellent customer service. We engage in simple and clear transactions without middle people, fuss or complicated processes.
Soooo, who’s actually buying my property, you or a broker?
We are! We are not brokers, which is great because you don’t have to pay commission or listing fees. We purchase properties directly from You, the Seller.
So how did you come up with the Fair Market Value offer for my property?
We valued your property based on analysis of County or Municipal Assessment Data, Analysis of Local Sales Comparables & Land Attributes and other local market data. Just a fancy way of saying… We did our research!
What if the property has a Lien or Title is not clear? Will you still buy?
It depends. Every property is different, but rest assured that we will do our own due diligence and run our own title report to verify the status of your title. Depending on the situation, we are likely able to have the Title Company help clear the title, so that we may consummate our transaction.
Show me the money! What information do you need from me?
Yay! Everything we need is in this hyperlinked form. Fill it out and let’s get started! Or give us a Call at PHONE NUMBER and we’ll take the information down for you.
Mmmm, Okay, but are there any additional “hidden” fees if I sell directly to you?
Nope. Actually, by selling directly to us you’ll save. Not only are you not paying broker fees, listing fees & advertising fees. We also take care of all regular closing costs, title fees, recording fees, transfer fees and document preparation fees.
Why aren’t you offering me Retail Market Value for my property?
We wish we could, but then we wouldn’t be in business very long! Our goal is to buy deeply discounted unwanted land, so we can pass on an amazing deal to our buyers. We buy wholesale, so we can sell wholesale fast. This way, get your money fast, stop paying that pesky annual tax bill and we can offer our buyers an affordable piece of land… So everyone wins!
Ok, I’ve got to come clean… I may owe TAXES on my property. Will you still buy?
YES! If it’s a minimal amount, we’ll cover it for you. If we find the amount owed to be significant, then we can pay for the back taxes ahead of closing and deduct a negotiated amount from the final sales price. Either way, you won’t have to come out of pocket for this. But, we repeat, IN MOST CASES, WE’LL COVER THE BACK TAXES FOR YOU.
Uh, Oh… I can’t seem to find my DEED. Will you still buy?
Easy as pie! Luckily, we can get a copy directly from the County or Municipal Records Office.
What types of Properties are you Buying?
Right now, we are looking to specialize in Rural Vacant Land anywhere in the beautiful United States of America! Soon, we’ll start venturing into the acquisition of houses and other real property.
How do we close on a property and when do I get PAID?
Once you sign the Purchase Agreement and we’ve done our due diligence, we can process everything in just a few days. The two most common ways of closing are:
- Mobile Notary – This is the FASTEST Way to CLOSE! We will contact a notary in your area. We will send the notary a Cashier’s Check for the agreed purchase price, along with the New Deed and required recording documentation for you to sign. The notary will contact you to schedule an appointment and will come to your home, office or location of choice to notarize and complete the transaction. Notary will hand you our Cashier’s Check! The notary then sends us the completed paperwork and we record the new deed with the pertinent county. NOW YOU GOT PAID AND WE GOT LAND!
- Title/Escrow Company – This is a slower and more expensive way to closing, which is mostly used for transactions of high value, such as those for a home. Depending on the property and state rules, we may have to go this route. If so, we’ll let you know.
Ok, Scout’s honor, how much will I pay for Closing Costs?
Diddly-Squat! Zilch! Zero! Nada!
Curious Minds Want to Know… What will you do with my property?
It depends on the property. We may add it to our inventory to sell or we may hold on to it for personal use. It all depends on the property, it’s attributes and market conditions. Now you got us curious too… What will you do with the money we pay you?
