Frequently Asked Questions

No runaround. No fine print surprises. Here’s exactly how this works.

The Offer Process

How do you calculate my offer?
We pull live public-record data on your property — county assessor records, recent comparable sales, days-on-market trends, and local appreciation rates from our PropData engine (165M+ parcels nationwide). We build three offer scenarios: a cash offer, a Bee’s Knees Partner Program offer (where an end buyer pays retail and we earn the spread), and a traditional listing estimate. Every number is grounded in real data, not guesswork.
Is the offer actually instant?
The ranges are instant — you get three real offer scenarios in under 60 seconds by entering your address. A final confirmed offer requires a brief conversation and sometimes a walkthrough, but we move fast. Most sellers have a confirmed number within 24–48 hours of reaching out.
Do I have to accept the offer?
Zero obligation. The offer check tool exists to give you real numbers so you can make an informed decision — not to pressure you into anything. If our number works for you, great. If a traditional listing makes more sense, we’ll tell you that too.
What’s the difference between your three offer types?
Cash offer: We buy directly. Fast close, no repairs, no showings, no contingencies. Typically 65–75% of market value depending on condition and location.

Bee’s Knees Partner Program™: An end buyer purchases directly from you at or near retail. We coordinate and earn the spread. Higher net than a cash offer, slightly longer timeline.

Traditional listing estimate: What you’d likely net listing on the open market, net of agent commissions, carrying costs, and typical buyer concessions.

Timeline & Closing

How fast can you close?
Cash offers can close in as little as 7–14 days. If you need more time, we can accommodate up to 90 days. The Bee’s Knees Partner Program typically closes in 30–60 days depending on the end buyer’s financing.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house?
For a cash offer: no. We buy as-is. Leave what you don’t want. For the Bee’s Knees Partner Program, some basic prep may help maximize your net — we’ll advise on what actually moves the needle versus what’s unnecessary.
What are my closing costs?
On a cash offer, we typically cover closing costs entirely — $0 out of pocket for you. On the Bee’s Knees program, standard title and escrow fees apply but there are no agent commissions. We show you the full net-to-you number before you decide anything.
