Our Process

Initial Contact:

 

Give us a call, send us a text, email, fill out the form on our website, or schedule an appointment to chat.

 

 

During this conversation we will ask you some different questions about your property (i.e condition, leases, desired purchase price, close date, etc.). This conversation should last 10-15min.

Review Phase & Making an Offer

 

 

 

After our initial interaction, we take 1 or 2 days review the comps inside the neighborhood and (hopefully) schedule a property walkthrough to assess the current condition. At this point, if your property meets our buying criteria, we will make you an offer on the property.

Closing

If the numbers and terms are agreeable to both parties, we are committed to closing on the property at a time and location of your choosing, facilitated by a nationally recognized title company. If you’re located out of state, we’ve got it covered – we’ll arrange for a notary to come to you.

We understand that not everyone we engage with is immediately ready to sell. No worries! We don’t advocate for high-pressure sales tactics. Simply keep us informed about your progress in the selling process; we’re here to stay and support you whenever you’re ready.

 

FAQs

What types of properties are you looking to purchase?

Christianson Homes specializes in mid-century modern homes, however, we are open to any properties that fit our criteria! A common misconception is that companies like ours only like to purchase homes that need a ton of renovation work; but that isn't the case with us.  It can be a house/townhome/condo in need of renovations, a private residence or nice maintained rental property with a long-term lease, a multifamily property, or even developable land, etc. Our team has experience buying all property types so if the numbers and terms make sense, we would love to buy it!

 

If you [or] someone you know is looking to sell their home, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

How quickly can you close? What if we need to find another home, or do a 1031 exchange?

Agility is our specialty! We can typically close a transaction in two weeks or less. However, if you need more time to close, we can accommodate a more flexible timeline that fits your specific needs. 

 

We will work with you to tailor our purchase contract with terms that meet your needs.

Are there any closing costs?

No, the offer we present you with is roughly the amount of money you will walk away with when the deal closes. We will cover closing costs, and you won't be required to pay a commission (roughly 6%) like if you listed on the MLS with a realtor.

The only expense you will be responsible for is covering the pro-rated property taxes for the year and covering any outstanding utility charges for the property.

How can I be confident that I'm getting the best deal for my property?

If your priority is maximizing your property's value, we recommend exploring the MLS. In that case, we are happy to connect you with a number of rockstar agents who can assist. However, listing on the MLS entails managing showings, maintaining constant property cleanliness, working with tenants, negotiating inspection items, and potentially dealing with financing-related delays. Don't forget about the nearly 6% commission you will pay realtors, the costly repairs you might make prior to listing the property, staging costs, closing costs, and more! While some sellers are willing to handle these challenges and additional expenses, others prefer a stress-free and secure deal, and that's where our company excels. 

 

As a smaller house flipping company, we have successfully completed dozens of transactions throughout the Denver Metro Area. With minimal overhead, in-depth knowledge of various sub-markets, and the ability to manage and design our own projects, we often provide more favorable terms than larger house flipping companies. If selling directly to an investor aligns with your preferences, rest assured that we can compete with the best in the industry.

 

Do I need to make repairs or tidy up before selling to you?

No! We will buy your house AS-IS. Our offer price will reflect the current condition of the property. We have purchased houses in all states of repair (or disrepair), and aren't scared to get our hands dirty. 

 

Selling your home AS-IS can have several advantages:

  • No need to make costly repairs
  • Remove/waive most contingencies from the contract.  This will save you from wondering if a potential buyer will terminate the contract due to XYZ. When there are fewer contingencies, there are fewer chances for a deal to fall through.
  • Cash buyers are often able to forego certain aspects of habitability that would prevent traditional buyers from obtaining a loan and closing on a property (e.g. foundation issues, mold, electrical issues, etc). Many of these issues aren't uncovered until a formal inspection is called, and by that time, you have lost valuable weeks on the MLS.

How is Christianson Homes different than all the other companies/investors who call me and try to buy my house? Why should I work with you and not them, especially if they offer me more money for my property?

Selling a property is a big deal - both financially and emotionally! At the end of the day we are in the business of remodeling homes for profit, however, our intentions go far beyond simply harvesting value unlike some flippers, investment groups, and larger companies. What sets us apart from other investors is that we deeply value and respect Mid-Century architecture and aim to tastefully retain or enhance that charm. One of the worst things to witness is seeing a home stripped of its character using cheap materials in the effort to make a quick buck; if you have ever cruised Zillow, you probably know the soulless "flipper special" that we are referring to. We promise to breathe new life into your home! Feel free to check out some of our past projects to see exactly what we mean. 

 

Competition: We don't mind competing against other companies or investors - in fact, we often expect it to happen. If someone makes a better offer for the property than we are comfortable with making, we understand why you would go with them, but there are lot of investors that will promise the world to sellers only to not deliver.
