Frequently Asked Questions

We are not real estate agents and we do not list homes. We are direct home buyers. If your property fits our criteria, we purchase it ourselves rather than listing it on the market. We buy the property outright with cash, so there's no waiting for buyers to show up.

We look at the property location, current condition, required repairs, and recent comparable sales in the area. Using this information, we arrive at a fair offer that works for both sides. Our process is transparent, and we'll walk you through how we arrived at our offer.

No. There are no commissions, listing fees, or hidden costs when you sell to PrivateDeals. The price we agree on is the amount you receive, minus only standard legal adjustments handled by your lawyer. That's it.

Agents list homes and wait for buyers, charging 3-6% commissions if a sale happens. We are the actual buyer. We don't list, there are no showings, no open houses, no delays, and no commissions. We make an offer and close the deal.

No. Submitting your information simply allows us to review your property and make an offer. You are under no obligation to accept it. There's zero pressure and zero risk – it's 100% your decision.

Yes. We buy condo apartments and condo townhomes. We also handle and pay for the status certificate when required, so you don't have to worry about those extra costs.

Closings can happen in as little as 7 days, or later if you need more time. We work around your timeline completely. Since we use cash and don't rely on bank financing, we can close quickly when you're ready.

Step 1: You contact us with basic property details. Step 2: If it qualifies, we schedule a visit or video tour. Step 3: We make a cash offer. Step 4: If you accept, we complete the purchase through lawyers. Simple and straightforward – no surprises.

Yes. Our purchases are not conditional on bank financing. Funds are delivered through your lawyer by certified cheque or wire transfer on closing day. You get the cash in your account, guaranteed.

Yes. If you refer someone who sells their property to us, we pay a referral fee of $2,000 once the deal closes. There's no limit to how many people you can refer – earn as much as you want.

We typically buy off market for faster closings, but we may consider listed properties that have been on the market for a while and are seeking a fast, certain sale. Contact us to discuss your situation.

In some cases, if there is sufficient equity in your home, we may be able to help with advance funds for a down payment or to cover urgent needs. Each situation is reviewed individually. Give us a call to discuss.

No. Buyers and sellers must have separate legal representation to ensure both parties are protected. If you need a lawyer recommendation, we can refer one to you.

No. We buy properties as-is in any condition. There's no need to clean, stage, repair, or do anything to the property before selling. We see houses in all conditions and love them as they are.

No problem. We buy homes in any condition – water damage, mold, foundation issues, fire damage, everything. These issues don't stop us from making an offer and buying your home.
