Feeling Misled by “We Buy Houses” Ads? Here’s What You Need to Know Before You Sign Anything!

Selling your home (especially when you’re already under pressure) shouldn’t feel like walking into a trap. But for too many homeowners, it does.

If you’ve been hit with postcards, bandit signs, or Facebook ads from companies promising “no questions asked”: take a breath.

Not all buyers are created equal.
And unfortunately, some of them are counting on you being overwhelmed.

At Real Estate Relief , we’ve seen the messes left behind by shady investors and house-flipping companies who made big promises: and then disappeared, changed terms, or backed out when it was too late.

Here’s what to watch out for: and what working with a truly transparent buyer should feel like.

Red Flags: When the Buyer Isn’t Playing Fair

Unfortunately, there are people out there who use your stress as leverage.
We’ve talked to homeowners who’ve dealt with:

1. Bait-and-Switch Offers

You’re promised a generous cash offer up front… but after inspections or paperwork, it mysteriously drops by $20K–$50K.

2. Hidden Fees

That “no fees” deal? Suddenly you’re on the hook for title costs, closing costs, or surprise transaction fees that weren’t in the contract.

3. Non-Binding Agreements

Some buyers give you a contract that sounds like it locks in your deal: but it’s full of escape clauses that let them walk away with no consequences.

Meanwhile, your home’s off the market and you’re stuck waiting.

4. High-Pressure Tactics

We’ve seen companies pressure sellers into signing on the spot, using fear, urgency, or even misinformation to rush the deal.

If someone won’t give you time to think, run: you deserve better.


What Transparent Home Buyers Do Differently?!

At Real Estate Relief, we believe selling your home should be simple, clear, and honest—especially if you’re already dealing with stress, grief, or financial pressure.

Here’s how we do it differently:

Straightforward Offers

No bait-and-switch. The price we offer is the price we close at: period. We’ll explain how we get to that number, with total clarity.

No Surprise Fees

We cover closing costs. We don’t charge commissions. You’ll never get hit with hidden charges.

Clear Contracts, No Tricks

Our agreements are written in plain English. You know what you’re signing. You can even have your attorney review it.

Respect & Time to Decide

We’re here to guide, not push. We’ll never rush you. We want you to feel confident, not cornered.


Your Home Deserves More Than a Quick Flip

Your house holds memories. It’s not just drywall and shingles: it’s the backdrop of your life.

You deserve to work with someone who respects that.
Someone who honors your story while helping you start a new one.
At Real Estate Relief, that’s our promise.


The RER Difference

We’re not anonymous buyers hiding behind Google Voice numbers.
We’re local. We’re human. We show up. And we stick with you through every step.

Whether you’re:

  • Selling fast to avoid foreclosure
  • Dealing with inherited property stress
  • Overwhelmed by repairs or bad tenants
  • Just ready for something new

We’re here to help you make a smart, empowered decision: not fall into a trap.
