Working With Us

Why Work with Hard Hat Homes?

When we work directly with a home seller, what we provide can not only make for a smooth

transaction, but it can also add up to thousands upon thousands of dollars in savings as compared to

selling a home through traditional means. With the ability to directly purchase homes andmake cash

offers, we can create extremely fast andhassle-free transactions.

There are many creative ways to help you out of any situation. We pride ourselves on our reputation

for working one-on-one with each customer to handle each individual situation; and it’s our goal to

make each client feel like we achieved aWIN-WIN scenario.

Most homeowners have no idea what options are available to them beyond listing a house with a

Realtor or trying to sell the house on their own and just hoping for the best. We provide a unique

alternative to listing their house on their own or with a Realtor. Your Realtor gets paid a commission

for his or her services which is a percentage of the home’s selling price. In most cases, you may also

be encouraged to fix up your home and yard to attract more potential buyers – and sometimes it can

involve hiring expensive contractors.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the process work to sell my house?Once we have collected information about your house, usually via a phone call we will schedule aquick visit to view the property (usually within 24 hours). We will pull together a detailed “repairestimate” and research home sales in your neighborhood. We discuss all the details with you andshould be able to make you an offer as early as 48 hours after we talk. We can then arrange forclosing to suit your timing.

What sort of houses do you buy?We buy houses in any condition, in any area, in any price range, in any situation! We will buy yourhouse as-is, youdon’t need to do ANY repairs!

What do you mean “any condition, area, price range, or situation”?Whether your house is in foreclosure, over-leveraged, condemned, has liens or health departmentviolations, not maintained, fire damaged, or about to fall down -- WE CAN BUY IT!

Are you REALTORS™?We are not Realtors or brokers, we are private real estate investors. In other words, we areprofessional home buyers. We want to BUY your home. There is never a charge or a commissionwhen we buy your property! However if listing your property is the best solution, then we can andwill connect you with a recommended licensed agent.

Am Iunder any obligation to sell my home to you after you have assessedmy house?No! There is no obligation on your side! We will simply review the information, make you an offer,and you choose to accept or reject it, totally your choice!
