About the listing and the market
These questions come up first, usually from owners who are still figuring out what went wrong. For the long version read why listings expire.
Why didn't my San Tan Valley house sell?
Usually a combination of price relative to comparable homes, condition issues that surfaced in inspection, higher financing costs for buyers, limited showing access and timing. Your agent's showing feedback and any inspection reports are the best clues.
Does an expired listing hurt my chances of selling?
Not permanently, but a long time on the market can make buyers wonder what is wrong. A relist works best when something visible changes, like price, condition or marketing.
Is the San Tan Valley market bad right now?
Public trackers describe it as fairly balanced with flat prices, though their numbers differ by source and period. A home priced and presented well does still sell, so a stalled listing usually has a specific cause.
Should I relist right away?
Not necessarily. Take a few weeks to review what happened, decide what will be different, and compare your other options first.
About cash offers and payment takeovers
What is a direct cash offer?
A buyer purchases your home as it is without a listing. You skip showings and repairs and choose the closing date. The trade-off is that the price is usually lower than a strong retail sale.
What is a payment takeover?
A buyer takes over making your loan payments and moves into the home. The loan stays in your name, and a licensed third-party servicer is part of the arrangement. It does not suit every loan or situation, and you should have an Arizona real estate attorney review any agreement.
Will you tell me a price on the phone?
No. A fair number depends on the home's condition and what you owe, so we want to see the facts first. Anyone who quotes a firm price sight unseen is guessing.
Do you guarantee a price or closing date?
No. We work toward the closing date you want, but title companies, lenders and county recording have their own schedules.

About cost, privacy and being contacted
Does it cost anything to ask for an offer?
No. Costs at closing, if you proceed, are shown in writing beforehand and explained.
Do I have to use your title company?
We work with an Arizona title and escrow company, but you may bring your own attorney or advisor at any time.
Will you text me?
Only if you tick the optional text-message box on our form. Consent is not a condition of anything. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help, and message and data rates may apply. Details are in our privacy policy.
Is my information shared or sold?
No. We do not sell or share personal information for marketing, and we do not share mobile information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
What if I decide to relist after talking to you?
That is a fine outcome. We would rather you choose what is best for you.

About agents, relisting and what comes next
Did my agent do something wrong?
Probably not. Agents influence price strategy and marketing, but they cannot control buyer financing, comparable homes or inspection findings.
Can I talk to you and still relist later?
Yes. There is no exclusivity in asking for a review, and you may relist with any agent whenever you choose.
Do you work with homes that need repairs?
Yes. We buy homes in many conditions, and the condition is reflected in the proposal rather than something you must fix first.
What if I live outside Arizona?
That is fine. Many owners are relocating. A title company can handle signing remotely in most cases, and we will explain what that looks like.
