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 and our answers. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer your questions.
1. Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
At Uprise Properties LLC, we are not real estate agents, nor do we list properties. As professional home buyers, we focus on purchasing homes in Minnesota that meet our specific criteria. Since we do not rely on bank financing, you can be assured that we have the resources to close the transaction. After purchasing, we may renovate the property and sell it to another homeowner or retain it as a rental investment.
2. How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Often, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay an agent between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions.
Agents provide an excellent service for those who can wait 4+ months to sell and don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents; we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can decide to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk of buying the house with our cash, repairing it, and marketing it ourselves to find a buyer.
At Uprise Properties LLC we prioritize transparency and integrity in every interaction. We provide honest feedback about your property and offer guidance if our solution isn’t the best fit for your needs. You are not obligated to proceed with our services, and we understand that our approach may not align with every seller’s goals.
We invite you to visit our “About Us” page for more information about our company. We take pride in our dedication to effective communication and ethical practices and leveraging our extensive industry experience to serve you.
3. Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Many properties we purchase are acquired below market value, allowing us to resell them at a profit to another homeowner. Our approach is centered on securing a fair discount on properties. Based on our experience, many sellers do not necessarily seek a significant “windfall” but instead value our benefits. These include a cash offer, a quick closing process without financing delays, and the convenience of selling without needing repairs or agent fees.
We’d happily explore a mutually beneficial price if these advantages align with your goals. Additionally, our no-obligation pricing commitment ensures you’re under no pressure to accept our offer—it’s simply an opportunity to understand what we can provide.
4. How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
We pride ourselves on transparency. Our process is simple and straightforward. We evaluate several key factors, including the property’s location, the extent of any needed repairs, its current condition, and the recent sale prices of comparable homes in the area. By carefully considering this information, we determine a fair price that aligns with both your needs and our investment criteria.
5. Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
Our straightforward and cost-effective approach sets us apart from the traditional method of selling your home. Unlike conventional sales, where up to 6% in fees or commissions can significantly reduce your proceeds, selling directly to us involves no fees or commissions. We present you with a no-obligation offer, and if it aligns with your needs, we purchase your property hassle-free.
In many cases, we also cover the closing costs, providing additional savings. Our profit comes after we’ve been responsible for repairing and reselling the property, assuming all associated risks. Once we purchase your home, you are relieved of the property, its expenses, and its obligations, walking away with cash and peace of mind. Know more by visiting our How it Works page. If you have any inquiries, feel free to call or text us at (612) 812-0433 .
6. Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
There is no obligation on your part. After you share some basic details about your property, we’ll evaluate the information, possibly arrange a call to learn more and present you with a fair, all-cash offer. The decision to proceed is yours, allowing you to determine what works best for your situation.
