Frequently Asked Questions
The questions sellers actually ask us — answered the same way we'd answer them at your kitchen table.
How do you calculate my offer?
We start with what your house would likely sell for fully renovated, based on real comparable sales near you. Then we subtract the estimated repair costs, our buying/holding/selling costs, and a stated margin. Your written offer includes the whole worksheet. Full walkthrough: How We Calculate Your Offer.
Will your offer be lower than what I could get listing my house?
Usually, yes — and we'd rather say that plainly. A cash offer trades some price for speed, certainty, zero repairs, and zero commissions. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing will often net you more, and we'll show you that comparison honestly — Christian is a licensed agent and can list it for you. If your house needs major work or you need a certain, fast closing, the cash route often makes more sense. We'll walk through both sets of numbers with you.
What does "wholesaler" mean, and is it legal?
A wholesaler connects a seller with a buyer. Trusted Choice Buyers LLC either buys your house itself or assigns its purchase contract to another vetted cash buyer who closes on the same terms we agreed with you. It's legal in Arizona, and Arizona law (A.R.S. § 44-5101) requires us to disclose our wholesale status to you in writing before any binding agreement — we do, and our assignment fee is disclosed too. Your price never changes because of an assignment.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. When we buy your house there are no commissions and no fees charged to you, and we cover the standard closing costs. The number on your written offer is the number you receive at closing.
How fast can you close?
When title is clear, closing in about two weeks is common — and you can also choose a later date if you need more time to move. Exact timelines depend on title and your situation, so we won't promise a specific date until we've reviewed the property. You always pick the date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house first?
No. We buy as-is, in any condition — roof problems, old systems, hoarding situations, fire or water damage. Take what you want and leave the rest; we'll handle it after closing.
I inherited a house. Can you work with that?
Yes. Inherited and estate properties are a large part of what we do. If the property is in probate, we can work alongside your probate attorney and move at the pace the process allows. Start with the address and we'll explain exactly what applies in your situation.
There are tenants in the house. Is that a problem?
Usually not. We can often buy with tenants in place, which saves you the eviction process entirely. Tell us the situation on the form and we'll factor it in.
I'm behind on payments. Can you still help?
In many cases, yes — a fast sale before foreclosure can protect your credit. Time matters, so contact us as early as you can. We'll also be straight with you about your other options. Note: we are a home buying company, not a foreclosure-relief or legal service, and we can't give legal advice — for that, talk to an Arizona real estate attorney.
Am I obligated if I request an offer?
Not at all. The written offer is free and comes with no obligation. Decline it and nothing changes — we're still happy to answer questions or run the listing comparison for you.
Who is actually buying my house?
Trusted Choice Buyers LLC, a Phoenix-area real estate investment company led by Christian Marquez, a licensed Arizona real estate agent (#SA657877000) with The Marquez Group at At Home Real Estate. On some purchases we assign our contract to another vetted cash buyer — always disclosed to you in writing before you sign.
Can we do this in Spanish?
Sí. Christian is bilingual and can walk you through the entire process — every number and every document — in Spanish. Call (602) 531-0154.
