Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question! At Property Peace, we are not real estate agents, so we don’t list houses on the MLS. We are professional home buyers who buy houses in Ohio directly from homeowners. We use our own cash, so there’s no need to worry about financing delays. After purchasing, we may repair the house and either resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental.
Real estate agents list properties on the MLS and hope to find a buyer. They show the property to prospective buyers (which can take 4-6 months or longer) and earn a commission when the house sells, typically 3-6% of the sale price. For example, selling a $100,000 house through an agent means you could pay $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions.
Agents offer a valuable service for those who can wait several months to sell and don’t mind paying commissions. However, we are different because we’re not agents; we’re direct home buyers. We buy houses with cash, allowing us to make a quick decision—sometimes within days, or even the same day. We take on the risk, handle any necessary repairs, and market the property ourselves to find a buyer.

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book. Our process is straightforward and transparent, ensuring you get a top-dollar offer for your house in . We leverage the latest technology and comprehensive market analysis to assess various factors, including the location of the property, necessary repairs, its current condition, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. By taking all these pieces of information into account, we create a top-dollar offer that works for both you and us. Our goal is to provide a fair and competitive price that reflects the true value of your property.
To ensure accuracy, we start by examining the location of your property. This includes looking at neighborhood trends, proximity to amenities, and overall demand in the area. A prime location often translates to a higher offer. Next, we assess the condition of your house. Whether it needs minor repairs or major renovations, we consider these factors and adjust our offer accordingly. The current market condition also plays a significant role. We analyze recent sales data of comparable properties to understand the going rate for similar homes in your area. This helps us determine a fair market value for your house.
We believe in transparency, so we explain our valuation process to you. This way, you understand how we arrived at our offer and can feel confident in its fairness. Our detailed analysis ensures we can make a competitive offer that benefits both parties. We want you to feel confident in the value we provide, knowing that our offer is based on real data and market trends, not guesswork. This thorough approach allows us to provide top-dollar offers for homes in any condition, making the selling process as smooth and beneficial for you as possible.
Our commitment to transparency and fairness sets us apart from other buyers. We don’t make arbitrary offers. Instead, we provide you with a detailed explanation of our offer so you can see exactly how we determined the price.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
