Questions deserve more than sales copy.
Here is what to know before sharing a property or reviewing an offer.
Is The Pad Offer a real estate agent?
The Pad Offer is designed as a direct home-offer platform, not a property-listing service. Depending on the property and market, the buyer may be The Pad Offer, a related acquisition entity, or a vetted buying partner. The transaction party should always be identified before you sign anything.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. Sharing your property details does not obligate you to sell. You can review the proposed price, timing, and terms before deciding.
Can I sell a house that needs major repairs?
Yes. Houses with deferred maintenance, code issues, fire damage, old systems, or unfinished work can be evaluated as-is.
How fast can a sale close?
The timeline depends on title, access, local requirements, and your needs. Cash transactions can often avoid lender delays, but no responsible buyer should promise a closing date before reviewing the property and title.
Are there commissions or hidden fees?
A direct purchase normally does not involve a seller-paid real estate commission. Any closing costs or deductions should be clearly stated in the written offer and closing documents.
How is the offer calculated?
The evaluation can consider location, comparable sales, property condition, needed repairs, resale potential, holding costs, and market risk.
Do you buy nationwide?
The platform accepts property submissions across the United States. Coverage and purchasing options can vary by address, property type, and local partner availability.
