For Homeowners Selling to an Investor

Templar Real Estate Enterprises is a local real estate investment company that buys houses for cash. We work with homeowners who want a simple sale without fixing up the property first and without dealing with agents and strangers walking through the house. We buy homes that need repairs, homes with old updates, inherited houses, rental properties, and houses that are hard to sell. Our goal is to give sellers a clear and honest option so they can sell their property without stress.

About What We Do

What do you do with the houses you buy?

Templar Real Estate Enterprises buys houses that need updating and gives sellers a way to sell quickly. After the purchase, the home may be repaired, updated, and then sold again or kept as a rental. This is often called “flipping,” but for the seller, it simply means we take on the repair work, the cost, and the risk. That way, you do not have to spend your own money fixing the property before selling or keep paying costs like property taxes and insurance while you wait.

What kinds of houses do you buy?

We buy many kinds of properties. This includes single-family houses, small multifamily homes, inherited houses, rental properties with tenant problems, vacant homes, and homes with major repair needs. It also includes houses with old roofs, water damage, outdated kitchens, old bathrooms, bad flooring, or houses that just need a full clean-out. We even buy houses that need little or no work.

Do you only buy in certain areas?

We focus on local New Jersey neighborhoods. That means we understand the area, nearby values, and the kinds of homes found in New Jersey towns. If your property is in New Jersey, there is a good chance we may be able to help. If the property is outside New Jersey, give us a call anyway. We have a network of investors throughout the country that we team up with.

Offers and Price

How do you decide what to offer for my house?

We look at a few main things when making an offer. First, we look at what similar fixed-up homes have sold for in the area. Next, we look at how much work your home may need. Then we consider the costs of repairs, closing costs, holding costs, and the risk of the project. We also look at how long we think it may take to sell the house after it is ready for the market. The offer is based on real numbers, not guesswork. Our goal is to make an offer that is fair, simple, and honest.

Will you explain how you figured out your offer?

Yes. We can explain the offer in plain English so it is easier to understand. If you want to know how repair costs affect the number, or why one home may get a higher offer than another, you can ask. We want you to feel comfortable and informed before making a decision.

Is your offer negotiable?

In some cases, yes. There may be room to receive a higher price depending on the home, the repairs, and the market. At the same time, the offer still must make sense based on the work needed and the cost of the project. If we can increase the offer price, we will tell you. If we cannot, we will tell you that as well.

Do I pay any commissions or hidden fees?

No. When you sell directly to Templar Real Estate Enterprises, there are no agent commissions because there is no listing. In many cases, we may also help cover normal closing costs. That means fewer surprises for you. Before closing, you should know the basic numbers and have a clear idea of what you will walk away with.

Condition and Repairs

Will you buy my house as-is?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, which means you do not have to make repairs before selling. You do not need to replace old carpet, fix the roof, update the kitchen, or repaint the house. This can help a lot if you do not have the money, time, or energy to fix the house. Selling as-is gives homeowners a faster and easier option.

Do I have to clean out the house?

No. You can take the things you want and leave the rest behind. We often work with sellers that still have old furniture, boxes, trash, or years of belongings inside. This is especially helpful with inherited houses or houses owned for a long time.

What if my house has serious problems, like mold or structural issues?

We may still be able to buy it. Many traditional buyers walk away from homes with big problems because they do not want to deal with repair costs. We are used to looking at houses with major issues, such as water damage, mold, bad foundations, old plumbing, or outdated electrical systems.

Can you buy my house if there are tenants?

In many cases, yes. We often look at rental properties and homes with tenant problems. Every situation is different, so we may ask a few questions about the lease, rent, and whether the tenants are cooperating. Even if the property is hard to manage, there may still be a way to buy it and help you move on.

Timeline and Process

How fast can you make an offer?

After getting some basic information and seeing the property, we can often make a cash offer quickly, sometimes within a day or two. The exact timing depends on how easy it is to view the home and how much information is needed. The process moves much faster than a normal listing because there is no waiting for a long marketing period.

How quickly can you close?

Many sales can close in as little as a couple of weeks, and sometimes even faster. The timing depends on title work, paperwork, and your schedule. Some homeowners want to close quickly, while others need more time to move out. We work with the seller’s timeline whenever possible, which gives the process more flexibility.

Can I choose the closing date?

Yes. One big benefit of working with us is flexibility. If you need extra time after closing or want to close on a certain date, we will work with you. This can be helpful if you are moving, handling probate, waiting for another home, or helping family members. A flexible closing date can take a lot of pressure off the seller.

What does the process look like from start to finish?

The process is usually simple.

1. You contact us and share basic details about the property.
2. Someone from Templar talks with you and schedules a visit to see the home.
3. You receive a cash offer with clear terms.
4. If you accept, the title company begins the paperwork and checks for liens and payoff amounts.
5. You sign the final closing papers and receive your funds. In many cases, you do not even need to
   go to the title company. The documents can often be signed at home, and someone from Templar
   can pick them up for you.

This process is easier than listing a home, doing showings, waiting for financing, and dealing with repair requests, agents, and attorneys.

Money, Funding, and Safety

Are you really paying cash, or do you need a bank loan?

We use cash, lines of credit, and investment funds, not a normal bank mortgage like many homebuyers use. That means the sale does not depend on a bank approving a loan for the buyer. This makes the process faster and lowers the chance of delays. For homeowners, that usually means more certainty and fewer surprises.

Can you show proof you have the money?

Yes. We provide proof of funds. This helps sellers feel more comfortable that the buyer is serious and able to close. Proof of funds is a normal part of a deal and can give peace of mind before moving forward.

What are the chances the deal falls through?

No sale is perfect, but the risk is very low. There are some situations outside our control, such as inherited properties with family disputes or buried oil tanks that leak. Since there is no bank loan involved, there is less chance of the deal falling apart because of financing. Also, when the house is being sold as-is, there is no demand for repairs. If a problem comes up, we will explain it clearly and discuss the next steps with you.

Paperwork, Liens, and Legal Details

What if I have liens, back taxes, or unpaid bills on the house?

In many cases, the home can still be sold. These issues are often handled at closing through the title company. Money from the sale will be used to pay off liens, taxes, or other amounts owed. The title company helps make sure everything is paid in the right order, and then the remaining proceeds go to the seller.

Do I need my own attorney?

It is always smart to ask questions and get legal advice. Some sellers like to use their own attorney, especially in more complex situations. We are comfortable working with your attorney and the title company to make sure everything is done correctly.

Do I need a real estate agent?

No. Because you are selling directly to Templar Real Estate Enterprises, there is no listing and no listing commission.

Can you buy my house if I’m behind on payments or in pre-foreclosure?

Yes. If there is still time before the foreclosure process is final, a fast cash sale may help you avoid losing your home at the sheriff sale. Timing matters a lot in these cases, so the sooner you reach out, the more options you may have. We can review the situation and let you know if there is still time to help. We have even stopped foreclosures one day before the auction, but it is always better not to wait that long.

Trust and Peace of Mind

How are you different from other “we buy houses” companies?

Templar Real Estate Enterprises is local and focused on New Jersey. We have a professional office and have been in business for years. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a trained team that can help with many kinds of situations. In some cases, if a seller needs help moving, we may even provide a cash advance. We work to give straightforward answers, realistic timelines, and a simple process. Our goal is to explain everything in plain language and treat sellers with respect.

Will you pressure me to decide right away?

No. You should have time to look at the offer, think about your options, and ask questions. Selling a house is a big decision, and no one should feel pushed into it. We want sellers to feel comfortable and informed.

What if I have more questions or special needs?

You can always ask. Every homeowner has a different story, and every property is different too. Some people need more time. Some need help with an inherited house. Some are dealing with tenants, repairs, or family issues. We will listen, explain your choices, and try to build a plan that fits your needs.
