Selling your house doesn’t have to be confusing. At Pavel Buys Houses, we’ve put together this FAQ page to answer the questions homeowners ask most often. Whether you’re curious about how our process works, how we calculate offers, or what sets us apart from other cash buyers, you’ll find clear answers here. If you don’t see your question listed, feel free to contact us. We’re available 24/7.

How does your home buying process work?

Our home buying process is simple.

• Step 1: Tell us about your property — fill out our quick form or give us a call.

• Step 2: Get your cash offer — we’ll evaluate your home and present a fair, no-obligation offer within 24 hours.

• Step 3: Close on your schedule — choose a date that works best for you, often in as little as 10–14 days.

You don’t need to make repairs, pay fees, or deal with showings. We handle everything so you can move forward on your terms.

Do you list houses on the MLS or actually purchase them?

We are cash home buyers who purchase properties directly from homeowners. Depending on the property, we may renovate and resell it, or keep it as a rental. What sets us apart is that we’re also licensed real estate agents. If your home is in great shape and you’d prefer a traditional MLS listing, we can help you list it too. When we talk, we’ll explore all options to see what works best for you.

Do you pay a fair price for homes?

Yes. We buy houses at a fair discount so that we can resell them or rent them after repairs. Most sellers choose to work with us because they want a fast cash sale (often in 7–14 days), they don’t want to deal with repairs, showings, or commissions, and they value the certainty and convenience we provide.

How do you pay homeowners?

We pay in cash at closing. There’s no waiting on bank approvals or financing. Once you accept our offer, we handle all paperwork and closing details. You simply show up on closing day and collect your check.

Do I have to accept your offer?

Not at all. Every offer we make is free and comes with zero obligation. If you decide not to move forward, that’s completely fine. But if our offer works for you, we can move quickly to close on your schedule.

How do you determine the price for my house?

We consider the property’s location, current condition, and whether repairs are needed. We also compare your home with recent sales in your area. Using this information, we create a fair, win-win cash offer that works for both sides.

Can I trust you?

Yes. We are A+ BBB Accredited, licensed Realtors in Massachusetts (Greater Boston Real Estate Board, License #9553130), and have been featured in outlets like Yahoo Finance, ABC News, Realtor.com, Redfin, and HuffPost. We operate with honesty, transparency, and integrity.

Do I have to pay fees or commissions?

No. When you sell your house to us there are no fees or commissions. We cover all closing costs and buy your home in as-is condition.

How do you make a profit?

After buying a property, we often renovate it and then sell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental. Like any business, we aim to make a profit when the property resells, but once we purchase from you, the responsibility and risk are ours — not yours.

What’s the difference between you and a real estate agent?

Real estate agents list properties on the MLS and wait for buyers who often need financing, which can take 4–6 months and cost 3–6% in commissions. We buy houses directly for cash with no commissions, no repairs, and no waiting. Because we are both investors and licensed agents, we can give you multiple options depending on your situation.

Is there any obligation when I share my information?

No. Once you tell us about your property, we’ll review the details and give you a fair, no-obligation cash offer. From there, it’s 100% your choice whether to accept. We never pressure or hassle homeowners — the decision is yours.
