Question 1

How fast can I get a cash offer?

Accepted Answer

Most sellers receive a written, no-obligation offer within 24 hours of sending us their property details. More complex properties may take a little longer while we review public records.

Question 2

How do you calculate your offer?

Accepted Answer

We look at recent comparable sales, the property size and type, condition, any back taxes or liens, and current market demand in the area. Our offers are based on real data, not guesswork.

Question 3

Is the offer really no-obligation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You are never obligated to accept. Review the offer on your own time, ask questions, and only move forward if it works for you. All offers are non-binding and subject to a standard review and inspection.

Question 4

Are there any fees or commissions?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no agent commissions, listing fees, or hidden charges. We typically cover standard closing costs, and the amount we agree on is the amount you receive.

Question 5

Who pays the closing costs?

Accepted Answer

In most transactions we cover the standard closing costs through the title company. Any unusual costs are discussed with you upfront and in writing before closing.

Question 6

How long does closing take?

Accepted Answer

Because we buy with cash, we can often close in as little as 7 days. If you need more time, you choose the closing date that fits your schedule.

Question 7

Can I close remotely from another part of the country?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We buy properties across the United States and many of our sellers close remotely. A licensed title company can handle everything with mailed or electronic documents and funds sent by wire.

Question 8

What if I owe back taxes on the property?

Accepted Answer

That's common and usually not a problem. Back taxes are typically settled at closing out of the sale proceeds, so you don't need to pay them out of pocket beforehand.

Question 9

Can you buy property that's in probate?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We regularly work with heirs and estates and can coordinate with your attorney or the title company on the probate process. Every situation is different, so we'll review the specifics with you.

Question 10

What about liens or title issues?

Accepted Answer

We work with experienced title companies to identify and resolve liens, easements, and other title issues wherever possible. If something can't be cleared, we'll be upfront about it.

Question 11

Do I need a survey or appraisal?

Accepted Answer

No. You don't need to pay for a survey or appraisal. If one is required for the transaction, that's handled as part of our process.

Question 12

What kinds of property do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy houses and other properties nationwide, including single-family homes, multi-family and rental homes, inherited and probate property, as-is or distressed houses, and vacant residential, agricultural, and recreational land. If you're not sure whether your property qualifies, just ask.

Question 13

Does the property need to be repaired or cleared first?

Accepted Answer

No. We buy houses and land exactly as they sit today. You don't need to repair, clean, clear, grade, survey, or improve anything before selling to us.

Question 14

Do you buy property with an HOA or unpaid dues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unpaid HOA dues are handled similarly to back taxes and are typically settled at closing from the proceeds of the sale.

Question 15

Are you a real estate agent or broker?

Accepted Answer

No. Mali Group is a direct property buyer, not a licensed broker. We are not representing you in a real estate transaction; we are making an offer to purchase your property directly.

Question 16

What does it mean if you assign the contract?

Accepted Answer

In some cases we may assign our purchase contract to another buyer in our network. This does not change your agreed price or terms. You still close through the title company and receive the amount you agreed to.

Question 17

Where do you buy property?

Accepted Answer

We buy houses and other properties throughout the United States. Wherever your property is located, reach out and we'll let you know how we can help.

Question 18

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the offer form with your property details or call us at +1 (757) 904-7681. There's no cost and no obligation to get your offer.
