Question 1

What does your company, Joyful Steward Investments, do?"

Accepted Answer

We purchase homes from people that need to sell fast. After we buy the home, we will typically make repairs or upgrades to the home. When the repairs are complete, we will either offer the house for rent to tenants or resell the house to a new family.

Question 2

What is the best way to contact Joyful Steward Investments?

Accepted Answer

Our telephone number is listed at the top of our webpage. However, the easiest way to request a purchase offer is to click the button "Request Cash Offer Now". This allows us to start gathering details prior to calling you.

Question 3

How do I get a cash offer on my house?

Accepted Answer

Simply click the "Request Cash Offer Now" button and fill out the offer request and our team will contact you immediately to set up a time to come look at the house. We typically come look at the house within 24-48 hours of receiving your contact information.

Question 4

Does it cost money to receive an offer from you?

Accepted Answer

No, never. There is no cost to you to receive an offer from us. If you decide to not accept our offer, you will not owe us any money.

Question 5

If I receive an offer, will I have to pay you money if I decide not to sell my house to you?"

Accepted Answer

You are under no obligation to accept our offer. If you decide to not accept our offer, there is no fee or any out of pocket costs for you.

Question 6

How long does it take for me to receive cash for my house?

Accepted Answer

After the offer has been accepted, it typically takes about 10 days to close at the title company if the deed is free and clear. If the title company finds a title hindrance, then they may extend the closing date by a few days. A fast closing time also requires the home seller to sign the documents quickly.  The title company will write you a check or wire you the cash immediately following closing.

Question 7

How do you determine the purchase price for my home that you will offer me?

Accepted Answer

Although we prepare cash offers very quickly, there are many factors that we evaluate prior to giving you a cash offer. We will inspect the condition of the house and identify any major repairs that are necessary. Then we estimate the cost of the renovations and time needed to complete the repairs. We also analyze the neighborhood that the house is located in and look at other neighboring houses that have recently sold to calculate the estimated value of your home after the repairs are finished. We also take into account the cost that will be incurred while selling the house (real estate commissions, detail cleaning, staging). Lastly we have to estimate the cost of insurance, taxes, water, electricity, and gas. All of these factors and others will help us develop the purchase price that we will offer you.

Question 8

I have filled out the offer request form. When should I expect to hear back from you?

Accepted Answer

When you submit your information via the offer request form, your details will be sent to us immediately. We will give you a call within 24 hours but typically it is quicker than that. The goal of the first conversation is to gather some more details about your home and schedule a time for us to come visit the house.

Question 9

When you come look at the house, do you need access to the inside of the house also?"

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prior to submitting a cash offer, we will inspect the exterior and interior of the house. If we are unable to inspect the interior of the house, our offer price may be lower because we will have to conservatively estimate how much the repairs will cost inside the house.

Question 10

How long will it take you to inspect my home?

Accepted Answer

When we visit the house to inspect the condition, we typically take about 2 hours to walk around and inspect the interior and exterior of the home.

Question 11

How long will it take to receive an offer?

Accepted Answer

Although sometimes we are able to make an offer immediately after walking through the house, our goal is to always submit our offer within 24 hours of visiting the house.

Question 12

Do you only buy houses? What about condos or townhomes?

Accepted Answer

Although most people who contact us are needing to sell a house, we are also willing to purchase a condo or townhome from you. However, we are not purchasing mobile homes at this time.

Question 13

Are you a Realtor or a real estate agent?

Accepted Answer

Becky is a Texas Realtor; however, we will never charge you any commission fees. Her experience as a Realtor benefits you because we are very familiar with the many steps required to buy and sell houses. We will work closely with the title company to make sure that the closing process is done quickly. Our company, Joyful Steward Investments, specializes in buying homes quickly in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex.

Question 14

Will I have to pay commission fees to sell to you?

Accepted Answer

No. Although Becky is a Realtor, we do not charge any commission fees when we buy your home. At closing, you will receive the exact amount agreed to in the offer contract.

Question 15

Will I have to pay fees when I sell my house to you?

Accepted Answer

You will not have to pay any fees for our service. We pay all fees during the closing process also. At closing, you will receive the exact amount agreed to in the offer contract.

Question 16

I already listed my house for sale with another agent, will you still buy it?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you accept our cash price offer, it does not matter whether the house has been listed for sale or not. However, since you might have signed an agreement with your agent, we’ll need to speak with them to understand if they are expecting to be paid a commission for selling the house. If the answer is yes, then the cost of the agent’s commission will be deducted from your net proceeds at closing.

Question 17

Are you going to list my house on the MLS?

Accepted Answer

We are not going to list your house on the MLS. We buy houses in and around the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex. We will make you an offer to purchase your house. If you accept our offer, then we will buy the home from you in a matter of days for the agreed upon price.

Question 18

What are the benefits of selling my house to you?

Accepted Answer

We offer you a hassle free, quick option to sell your house. You will not need to hire an inspector, appraiser, or a real estate agent. You will not need to make any repairs to the home, since we buy houses in their current condition. If you call us, we will come inspect your home and make an offer. If you accept our offer, we can typically close on the house in approximately 10 days. However, an unusual title hindrance can sometimes require the title company to extend the closing date by a few days. A fast closing time also requires the home seller to sign the documents quickly.

Question 19

Do I have to hire an inspector, appraiser, or real estate agent?"

Accepted Answer

If you decide to sell your house to Joyful Steward Investments, you will not need to hire an inspector, appraiser, or real estate agent.

Question 20

Will I have to make house repairs before you purchase my house?

Accepted Answer

No, we purchase all houses in as-is condition. After we buy your house, we will make any necessary repairs to your home at our company’s expense after closing. We will even purchase your home if it currently has code violations.

Question 21

If I have already moved out of town, do I have to come back into town to sign papers at closing?"

Accepted Answer

No, you can sign the documents at a title company or attorney’s office near you via a “remote closing”. If you choose this option, you may have to pay that title company a small convenience fee, but some title companies will do a remote closing as a courtesy for free. Please also keep in mind that a remote closing may extend closing by 1-3 days, so that your original signed documents can be mailed to the main title company prior to finalizing the closing.

Question 22

Will you buy my house even if someone is living there?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We also buy tenant occupied homes. Each situation is unique, so we’ll discuss these details with you when we speak to you on the phone.

Question 23

Will you buy the house even if it is filled with unwanted belongings or left over trash from previous tenants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are here to serve you. Let us take care of emptying the house after we have bought it from you. We will dispose of any unwanted furniture and trash left behind by tenants. Please make sure to remove any personal belongings prior to signing the papers at closing. We cannot return items after closing, since everything will be removed and hauled off to a recycling/refuse center.
