Common Questions Washington State Homeowners Ask...

Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

“We handle the entire process directly with you, from purchase agreement to closing. Truevia is not a real estate agent and does not list your property on the MLS. Contracts may be assigned to investors privately to facilitate a quick, as-is sale.”

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?

“We provide fair cash offers that consider your home’s condition, market value, and any necessary repairs. Even when a home sells below retail value to account for repairs or a fast closing, homeowners enjoy:

  • Fast cash payment

  • No repairs needed

  • No agent commissions or fees

  • Flexible closing dates

  • A guaranteed, hassle-free sale

  •  
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

A: Our process is transparent and straightforward. We evaluate your property and work with our investor network to determine fair offers based on:

  • Location – What neighborhood and recent sales in the area
  • Condition – What repairs or updates are needed
  • Size – Square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms
  • Comparable sales – What similar houses have sold for recently
  • Market conditions – Current real estate trends in Seattle
  • Holding costs – Taxes, insurance, utilities while investor owns it
  • Repair costs – What’s needed to make it market-ready
  • Selling costs – Real estate commissions, closing costs when resold.

We explain exactly how offers are calculated and are happy to answer any questions.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

A: No! This is what makes working with our investor network different from selling through an agent. There are:
• NO commissions (agents typically charge 6%)
• NO fees (investors pay all closing costs)
• NO hidden charges (the offer is what you get)

Our investors make their money after purchasing your house, making repairs, and selling it (or renting it out). You pay nothing out of pocket.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?

A: Real estate agents list properties and hope someone will buy them. They charge 6% commission and it typically takes 3-6 months to sell. We connect you with actual cash buyers from our investor network who:
• Buy directly from you
• Pay with cash (no financing delays)
• Close in as little as 7 days
• Buy houses in as-is condition
• Charge no fees or commissions
• Handle all the paperwork

Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?

A: Zero obligation! You can:
• Get a free cash offer with no commitment
• Take your time reviewing the offer
• Ask as many questions as you want
• Accept or reject the offer – it’s completely up to you
• Change your mind at any time before closing

We won’t pressure you or hassle you. Our offers are truly no-obligation.

Process Questions

Q: How quickly can you make me an offer?

Truevia can make an offer day day as viewing your home. 

Q: How fast can we close?

A: Treuva can close in as little as 7 days if that’s what you need. Most closings happen within 7-21 days, but we can work with whatever timeline works best for you – whether that’s next week or next year.

Q: Do I need to clean or make repairs?

A: No! Our team buys houses exactly as they are. You don’t need to:

  • Clean anything
  • Make any repairs
  • Remove unwanted items
  • Stage the house
  • Landscape or improve curb appeal
Take what you want and leave what you don’t want. Truevia handles everything after closing.
Q: What if my house is already listed with an agent?

“Even if your home is listed with an agent, Truevia can provide a cash offer. You may need to cancel your listing or wait for it to expire, and your agent’s contract may require a commission payment.”

We recommend reviewing your listing agreement or speaking with your agent about your options.
Q: Do I need to be present for closing?

A: Not necessarily. Many sellers sign documents remotely or ahead of time. If you prefer to attend closing in person, we can arrange that too. We work with reputable local title companies who can accommodate your preferences.

Property Condition Questions

Q: My house needs major repairs - will you still buy it?

A: Yes! We purchase homes in any condition, including those that need:

  • Foundation repairs
  • Roof replacement
  • Electrical updates
  • Plumbing work
  • HVAC replacement
  • Kitchen/bathroom updates
  • Mold remediation
  • Fire or water damage repair
You don’t need to make any repairs – truevia handles everything after purchase.
Q: My house has code violations - can you help?

A: Yes, we buy houses with code violations, open permits, and other city issues. We’ve facilitated many home deals including: 

  • Code violations
  • Open or expired permits
  • Unpermitted additions
  • Zoning issues
  • Tax liens
  • Utility liens
Our investors have experience navigating these situations and can often resolve them quickly.
Q: What if my house has mold, asbestos, or lead paint?

A: We buy houses with environmental issues. They’re experienced in dealing with:

  • Mold problems
  • Asbestos siding or insulation
  • Lead paint
  • Radon
  • Underground oil tanks
  • Other environmental hazards
You don’t need to test or remediate anything – Truevia handles it after purchase.
Q: The house has been vacant for years - is that okay?

A: Absolutely! Our team buys vacant houses all the time. Vacant houses often have additional issues like:

  • Vandalism or break-ins
  • Squatters
  • Weather damage
  • Overgrown landscaping
  • Utilities shut off
  • General deterioration
None of these are problems. We will buy your vacant house as-is.

Financial Questions

Q: How do I get paid?

A: At closing, the title company will either:

  • Hand you a certified check, or
  • Wire transfer funds directly to your bank account

 

The choice is yours. Funds are typically available immediately with certified checks or same-day with wire transfers.
Q: Will you pay market value for my house?

A: Truevia offers fair prices based on your specific situation. Market value typically assumes:

  • House is in good condition
  • No repairs are needed
  • House is staged and show-ready
  • 3-6 months to find a buyer
  • 6% agent commission
  • 2-3% closing costs
  • Holding costs for 6+ months

When you factor in these costs and time delays, our investors’ cash offers are often very competitive with what you’d net from a traditional sale.

Q: What fees will I have to pay?

A: None! Truevia pay’s for:

  • All closing costs
  • Title insurance
  • Escrow fees
  • Recording fees
  • Transfer taxes
  • Any outstanding liens (in most cases)
You pay absolutely nothing. The cash offer you receive is the amount you get at closing.
Q: Do you pay cash or get financing?

Escrow can pay with a check or wire transfer: 

  • No financing contingencies
  • No appraisal requirements
  • No loan approval delays
  • No risk of financing falling through
  • Much faster closing process
Investors have the cash ready and can prove it with a bank letter if requested.
Q: Will I have to pay taxes on the sale?

A: We’re not tax professionals and can’t give tax advice. We recommend consulting with a CPA or tax advisor about your specific situation.

 

Generally, if you’ve lived in the house for 2 of the last 5 years, you may qualify for capital gains exclusions up to $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (married).
