FAQ
Thinking about selling your house but still on the fence?
Totally normal. Most of the Sellers we work with start the same way — skeptical, unsure, and maybe a little overwhelmed.
You’ve probably seen a dozen “We Buy Houses” websites that all look the same. No faces. No names. Just vague promises and a form. Honestly, it’s hard to tell who’s real and who’s just fishing for leads.
That’s not us.
The entire team at Reno Area Home Buyers lives here in Northern Nevada, and we only operate in Washoe, Carson, Douglas, Lyon, Storey, and Churchill counties. We all work in-office full time — come on by! We’re in Midtown. When you reach out to us, you’ll talk to a real human, not some call center.
This page isn’t just for “frequently asked questions.” It’s for answering the stuff you really want to know. Scroll through and get the answers — no fluff, no pressure. If you like what you read, reach out. If not, at least now you know your options.
We get it — you’ve probably seen those “We Buy Houses” signs and think this is just someone trying to steal your house for nothing. That’s not us.
We make fair cash offers based on the real condition of your property and current market data. If your house needs work, we factor that in. But we’re not here to play games — you’ll know exactly how we came up with the number, and we’ll walk you through it line-by-line if you want.
Most Sellers we work with are surprised by how fair the number is — and many end up accepting it right on the spot.
Most of the “homebuyer” companies you’ll find online don’t show their names or faces — and for good reason: many aren’t even actual home buying companies. They’re lead collectors who just want to flip your info to someone else.
We’re different. We’re local, and we only operate in Northern Nevada. Check out our About Us page with photos and bios. This is what we do — full time, in our backyard — and we’ll be the ones you work with from start to finish.
It’s three steps:
Call Us
We’ll ask for a little more information about the home, answer any questions you might have, and set up a time to come take a look at the property.
Meet Us
We’ll meet you at the house*, work through all the details with you, and assuming all your boxes are checked, make you an offer right then and there at the appointment. We don’t drag things out — if we’re not likely to be a fit, we’ll tell you that upfront.
Get Paid
We open escrow at a local Title Company, guide you through the closing process, and get you paid on the day of your choice.
You pick the appointment date. You choose the closing date. We work around your schedule — not the other way around.
* If you cannot meet at the house, no problem. We’re happy to meet you at the location of your choice.
* If you live out of the area, we can do all of this over the phone from start to finish. No need to make a trip.
There’s no catch. No hidden fees. No commissions. No cleaning or repairs. We cover closing costs too.
Here’s the tradeoff: This is just a different way to sell your home. We get a project that works for us. You get the Easy Button — speed, simplicity, and certainty. It’s not for everyone, and that’s totally okay — but for the right situations, it’s a win-win.
Great question — and you might.
If your house is in good shape and you don’t mind the usual process — interviewing agents, prepping the property, showings, inspections, picky buyers, commissions, and waiting on the market — then selling through an agent is probably the way to go.
But if your place needs work, your situation sounds like one of the homes on our Homes Bought page, or you just want to skip all the hassle and sell as-is and on your timeline… that’s where we might be the better fit. And if we’re not, we’ll be the first ones to tell you.
Yep!
We’ve bought homes like you wouldn’t believe:
- One with a caved-in basement wall on Grandview Dr. in Northwest Reno
- One with a ‘skylight’ where the sections of a manufactured home came apart on Crumlish St. in Stagecoach
- One with missing kitchen floor joists on Shadow Ln. in Fernley
- A water-damaged million-dollar home in Saddlehorn in South Reno
And everything in between.
If it’s outdated, damaged, or just a mess — perfect. That’s what we’re looking for. No judgment. For us, it’s just part of the renovation budget.
We’ve handled just about every situation you can think of — divorces, probates, back taxes, foreclosures, shared ownership, out-of-state heirs.
It might be your first or second time selling, but it’s far from our first rodeo. We’ll work around your situation and help guide you through all of the moving parts. We’ve seen it all before.
Totally fine. This isn’t high-pressure.
Our job is to give you a real option, explain how it works, and let you decide what’s best.
If you’re curious, talk to us — even if you’re not ready. A quick conversation can save you a lot of time and stress down the line.
Still have questions? Or just want to talk through your situation?
We get it — selling a house (especially one that needs work or comes with baggage) isn’t always easy.
Let’s make it easier.

There’s no pressure. No obligation. Just a real conversation with a real person who gives a damn.
Whether you sell to us or not — we’ll point you in the right direction.
Cash Sale vs Listing With an Agent in nevada
Selling through an agent in Nixon often means longer timelines, price reductions, and buyers who may not secure financing. A direct cash sale removes those risks.
