Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my fixer-upper in Upper Montclair if I am behind on payments?
Yes. As long as you have equity in the property, we can purchase it and use the proceeds to pay off your remaining mortgage balance, including any past-due amounts.
How many missed payments before the bank forecloses on my fixer-upper?
Most lenders begin foreclosure proceedings after 3-6 months of missed payments, though timelines vary by state and lender. Selling before this point protects your credit and equity.
Will selling my fixer-upper hurt my credit less than foreclosure?
Significantly. A foreclosure can drop your credit score 200+ points and stay on your record for 7 years. Selling before foreclosure may have minimal or no credit impact.
How much less will I get for a fixer-upper versus a renovated home in Upper Montclair?
Our offer reflects the property's current as-is value. However, when you factor in renovation costs, contractor timelines, carrying costs, and agent commissions avoided, the net difference is often much smaller than expected.
What counts as a fixer-upper for your buying criteria?
Any property needing repairs — from cosmetic updates to major structural work. Outdated kitchens, damaged roofs, foundation issues, fire damage — we buy it all.
Can I sell a fixer-upper that has been partially renovated?
Yes. Whether you started a renovation and ran out of budget, or the previous owner left work half-done, we buy properties in any state of renovation.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
