Assess the company’s customer service and professionalism.
Homebuying company reviews can also give you an idea of what to expect in terms of customer service. Ideally, you want to work with a company that gives you one designated point of contact throughout the entire process. That person should be a licensed, experienced real estate agent. Check the reviews to see if customers say their agent was prompt with answering questions, helped guide them throughout the entire process and always followed through when they said they would.
Check to see if customers got the payout they were promised.
When you first call a homebuying company, they typically conduct a free property value analysis to tell you how much your property is worth. As you scan through reviews for companies that buy houses for cash, look for any customer feedback on payout. Did they get paid less than they were initially promised? Also, keep an eye out for mention of any surprise or hidden fees. The best homebuying companies don’t charge any real estate commission fees or closing costs. Transparency is important in finding a homebuying company you can trust.
Sites to check for homebuying company reviews.
There are a number of reputable review sites you can peruse to find the best homebuying companies. Google Reviews are often the most reliable, as individual companies can’t edit or change the reviews posted. As a result, you’ll have the opportunity to see reviews from customers who had a positive, neutral or negative experience. Most companies also have reviews on their own site, but these are often hand-picked by the company, whereas Google reviews can be posted by anyone.
Better Business Bureau (BBB) is another great way to research the reputation of a homebuying company. It provides a comprehensive business directory with ratings for each company from A+ (highest rating) to F (lowest rating). In some cases, BBB will not rate the company and you might see an “NR” or “No Rating.”
Businesses can also apply to get accredited by the BBB. Their Standards and Compliance Department then reviews the application, reaches out to the company with any additional questions and determines whether the company meets BBB Accreditation Standards. If they do, you’ll see a logo next to their company name that reads, “Accredited Business.”
