Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Common Questions From Our Homeowners

There can occasionally be some misconceptions about how creative real estate professionals like us invest. Here are some of the more common questions, or FAQs,  homeowners have asked us over the years:

How Does Your Program Work?2026-04-01T20:38:19-07:00

The process is very simple when we buy houses. You can either fill out the Get Your offer form or give us a call to give us information about the house you want to sell. If the house is one that would fit our investment criteria we will schedule to see the house. When we meet you at the house we walk through and look at what repairs or other changes are necessary. Using this information, we can usually make you an offer on the spot.  Each property is different, each homeowner has different challenges, and therefore, each offer is customized to fit the unique needs of the seller. If we come to an agreement on a price, we will draw up a contract that is then taken to a title company. The title company prepares for the closing. You receive your money for the house at the closing and you’re done!

Do I Have to Fix Up the Property?2024-06-03T09:48:10-07:00

Nope. You can leave it the way it is. Don’t worry about any level of repairs. We can handle anything since we buy houses in any condition. You can even leave the trash and other items behind.

Are there any costs when we sell to you?2024-06-03T09:50:46-07:00

When you sell a house the traditional way… You soon discover that there are thousands of dollars in repairs, fees, and hidden costs. One of the greatest reasons you should sell to us is that you pay absolutely no costs! When we buy your house we take care of all the expenses. This means you get to walk away with more cash in your pockets. It’s our goal to make the entire process as easy as possible. We want to make sure you have a Hassle Free and Pain Free home selling experience!

How Long Will It Take To Sell My House2024-06-03T09:48:51-07:00

The simple answer is “it depends”. We have bought several houses over the years. This has allowed us to create a great house buying process. We can even buy your house in as little as 7 days!

However, not every house can be sold in 7 days. Different homeowners experience different situations. Some situations are more serious than others. The best part about selling to Sierra Housing Solutions is that we’ve purchased several homes in our local area and have been able to deal with all sorts of difficulties. When you sell to us you can be sure that we will do anything we can to buy your house as quickly as possible! At the same time, many home owners want a cash price locked in so they can strategically move and it can take a couple months. We will work with you the best we can!

How Long Do I Have to Move Out?2024-06-03T09:49:09-07:00

You can move out whenever is best for your schedule. One of the benefits of working with us is that you can choose you moving date. This allows you to buy a new home first, line up movers, or get a rental secured.

Does your FREE cash offer put me under any obligation?2024-06-03T09:48:30-07:00

Absolutely not! Every single one of our FREE Cash Offers is risk free. You are under no obligation to us when you receive our offer. It is completely your choice to accept or decline our offer when we present it to you.

How Much Can You Buy My House For?2024-06-03T09:49:49-07:00

The simple answer is “it depends”. We have bought several houses over the years. This has allowed us to create a great house buying process. We can even buy your house in as little as 7 days! 

However, not every house can be sold in 7 days. Different homeowners experience different situations. Some situations are more serious than others. The best part about selling to Sierra Housing Solutions is that we’ve purchased several homes in our local area and have been able to deal with all sorts of difficulties. When you sell to us you can be sure that we will do anything we can to buy your house as quickly as possible! Just look at what our reviewers have to say.

What kind of properties do you buy?2024-06-03T09:51:06-07:00

We buy all types of residential properties; homes, condos, townhomes, vacant lots, mobile homes, duplexes, and multi unit. If you have a commercial property, feel free to reach out as well.

Are you going to try to steal my property?2024-06-03T09:50:28-07:00

Of course not. We only do win-win deals that are fair for everyone involved. Plus, the concept of buying your property for all cash at a discounted price is just 1 of over 15 different ways we buy real estate. We use the local title companies who orchestrate the closing of each house so you know you are in good hands.

Do You Buy Properties That Have Tenants?2024-06-03T09:51:48-07:00

Yes. We buy houses in any situation; including when occupied by a tenant (and in some cases, the tenants are more like squatters because they aren’t paying the rent!).

Everyone at Sierra Homebuyers made this sell so easy and hassle free. I highly recommend if your ready to sell your house. Fast, easy and very nice folks.

Dealing with Sierra Homebuyers was a pleasure. Beginning with Tara at their office and then with Joel at our house that we are wanting to sell. Sierra Homebuyers' staff provided us with professional information that we are using, they were very helpful.

Joel and his crew showed up at a crucial time in my life, I was ready for a major change. Joel said take what you need and walk away from the rest, we will take care of it . It took me awhile to get my head around the idea but I finally did and I am so much happier. Sierra Homebuyers was great and very patient.

Admittedly apprehensive reading so many negative articles about the cash selling process. Very easy to work with and none of the deceptive tactics that are depicted with perhaps less reputable companies. From what I've seen so far they are absolutely deserving of their excellent BBB rating.

We recently lost our father on fathers day and it was unexpected. We needed help with house and these guys came to the rescue. They were honest, prompt, and helped guide us through our options. Others called about the house but they weren't the same and were not here locally. I would highly recommend there services and reaching out.

I called shscash because I needed to sell my house after my wife pases away. They answered the phone every time I called and quickly came out to the house. They showed up on time and the communication was amazing. They helped open my eyes on how to move and how to maximise the money I get for the house. These guys were honest and shot me straight.

Joel and SHS were very helpful in the sale of our fire damaged property. Although we sold to a different party he still did followup calls and was concerned that we were taken care of throughout the process. Joel is very honest and helpful, also very knowledgable and has many connections with people in the business. I would definitely recommend Joel and SHS to anyone who needs a quick and safe sale with a very reputable company. Thanks Joel !!!

I couldn’t believe my good luck in finding Sierra Housing Solutions. As a retiree I couldn’t qualify for a decent mortgage so I needed to sell my current home in order to pay cash for a new one. They made it so easy! I got a good price without having to replace the carpet and deal with realtors etc. Also they are letting me stay in my home for a short while so I can get ready for the move more easily. At every step they made the process as easy as possible for me. I’m so grateful to Sierra Housing Solutions.

I can't say enough about the people at SHS. We were in a hurting situation, and Alex and Annie couldn't have been any kinder and professional. Everything they did was with the intention of helping, and they certainly hit the bullseye! They kept their word at every turn, making a difficult situation easier. This went fast and smooth, and I would highly recommend Sierra Housing Solutions to anyone!!! 6 stars!!!!

Karen Ann Culver
Karen Ann Culver January 27, 2022

Can't thank these guys enough for help in expediting....and being flexible...in purchasing our home. Their ability to close quickly and with minimal input from me was key to the whole process. Second, and nearly as important was the ability to simply turn over the home when we were ready to move. Due to some complexities in the need to sell the home, not having to worry about minor repairs or even leaving a completely spotless home was super important. Timing was perfect and even when we had to ask for some additional flexibility from SHS they were able to accomodate.

If you’re looking for a nice professional business this is the place to call. We needed to sell my uncle’s house to pay for his medical care. His house was in extreme disrepair with much work needing to be done inside and out. Joel and his team were wonderful and very professional, while also being very compassionate about our families circumstances. The whole process from start to finish only took three weeks! Joel was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend SHS if you need to sell your home fast and in need of repairs.

Tonya Pletzer May 21, 2021

We had already moved out of state at the time of our closing. There was a problem with the title company recording our sale. As soon as Joel received our call the problem was rectified. We would highly recommend SHS. From start to finish a great team to deal with!

Joshua Dawson

In February of this year my wife and I were considering selling our home in Minden, NV and moving somewhere we have never had the opportunity to visit and explore. Our biggest fear was dealing with another fast talking slow walking realtor making big bucks and doing little or nothing to earn it. Then we saw the Sierra Housing Solutions commercial on television and made the call. Two days later we met with Joel and he came up with a plan to sell our home without the stress and hassle of a realtor. Joel even gave us 15k in advance to help with the expense of relocating. Without that money in advance we would not have been able to secure another home while Joel took care of the sale of our old house. We were able to focus on relocating and not worry about what a realtor was or wasn't doing. The SHS team was amazing. With Joel's leadership they took care of listing, showing, repairing and finalizing the sale of our house. SHS did everything the commercial advertises they do and 28 days later we are on our way to the house of our dreams in Tennessee. If there were such a thing as a 6 star rating I would certainly give it to Joel and his team at Sierra Housing Solutions.

Shane & Joel are remarkable young men, their way of doing business reminds me of times gone by, simple, fair, & caring. Hi, I am a Reno senior, For the last 5 years I have wanted to downsize, yet the stress of dealing with, having people in and out of the home, appts not kept and at times so much drama. I just couldn't do it. Then I over heard SHS t.v. ad, and thought, gosh if only it were that easy. then I saw the t.v. ad, who could resist watching this young man holding a boy on each hip, instantly made me smile. I began thinking of the ad in earnest, I did the pro/con list, looked at my home objectively , and ran the numbers. I went on line an reached out to SHS, Joel called me back and after visiting on the phone a bit Joel came to see the home, Joel was very thoughtful, and like on the phone he sort of interviewed me, making sure my. . .. decision was not made in haste . Joel and I came to an agreement, then Shane came to the home, like Joel , Shane very thoughtful and making sure I understood the process, both Joel and Shane stayed in touch during the process, before we knew it they had bought my home and gave me the chance to move on to my next adventure. No stress, just a wonderful win win situation. This is a great way of changing properties and I will forever praise Shane & Joel. Thank you both for everything, truly means more than you will ever know. sheila

The first thing i was told by Shane was if we can't help you we will get someone that can. They came out to my home promptly as we were doing the walk thru I let them know our family was and had just gone through medical crisis they were very kind and professional. Joel asked me what i needed for the house I told him then i asked him what could he offer me it was a very fair offer. Joel and Shane said they thought i could get what i needed for my home and they had the person to help me. They asked if they could make a call i said yes they put it on speaker phone and we all talked i made an appointment. About a week later Joel called me and asked how things were going i told him great . I would like to Thank Joel and Shane for helping me and my family and doing what they said they would do.

I called SHS just to ask how they go about helping folks who want to sell their home and I got to talk to Joel. Even though I'm not exactly sure, yet, how I want to proceed, he still spent about 30 minutes chatting with me. Our pleasant conversation was a nice break in my day. And I never felt like he was trying to rush me off the phone. He answered my questions, and made me feel like it was okay to ask them. I want to leave 5 stars for Joel's character and personality. If you have a house to sell folks, he's a patient, nice person to talk to.
