FAQs
Selling a fixer upper house can be stressful and we try to make the process as easy and relaxing as possible.
We encourage sellers to shop our offer, consider every sale-type option, and to get multiple offers. In fact, we will tell you if putting your home on the open market is a better option for you. If your home is in good, move-in-ready condition, a cash offer may not be the best option for you. Here are important questions to ask every potential buyer.

*Provide proof of funds with a reputable bank (not a proof of funds letter from a random entity).
A real buyer can quickly get you comfortable with their ability to close with cash. No “capital partners” or lenders should be needed. We close with our own direct cash at SHP Companies.
*Provide 3 homes nearby that you have purchased with the exact same entity.
A real experienced buyer will have specific comps and nearby purchases.
Is Selling to a Cash Buyer Better Than Listing With an Agent?
It depends on your property and priorities.
If your home is in excellent condition and you have time to wait for a buyer, listing with a real estate agent may generate a higher sale price.
However, if your property needs substantial repairs, you've inherited a house, you're dealing with difficult tenants, or you simply want a fast, convenient sale, selling directly to SHP Companies may be a better option.
SHP Companies specializes in purchasing fixer-uppers, inherited properties, vacant houses, and rental properties throughout Baton Rouge and surrounding communities.
Why Sell Your House Directly to SHP Companies?
SHP Companies has purchased more than 325 properties throughout the Baton Rouge area over the past seven years, making us one of the area's most experienced local cash home buyers.
Will the buyer agree in writing that the contract shall 1) not be assignable and 2) the buyer can’t double close within 30 days?
Many websites and buyers are Fake Buyers and will simply try to get your house under contract and then sell the contract for more money. SHP Companies is a direct buyer and will not wholesale your house. If we put your house under contract then we will be the buyers of your house.
Will the buyer close in less than a week?
A qualified cash buyer should not need more than a week to buy a fixer upper property.
Will the buyer agree to waive the inspection period after their initial visit?
A real experienced cash buyer should not need numerous inspections.
*Which exact legal entity will you close with?
A real buyer can provide a registered entity without hesitation.
Are there any fees, commissions, or hidden costs?
Magna veniam qui ut occaecat. Proident mollit ad voluptate nisi occaecat et duis excepteur. Cupidatat reprehenderit magna pariatur amet amet commodo eiusmod dolore ad.
Do i need to make repairs or clean out the property?
