About the Process
How does Providence Home Buyers work when I want to sell my house? We start with a quick conversation about your home and your timeline. If it looks like we can help, we’ll schedule a walkthrough — in person or sometimes virtually. After that, we’ll make an offer and explain the numbers clearly. If you accept, we work with a local closing team and close on the date that fits your situation.
How fast can you make an offer after I reach out? Often the same day or within 24 hours, depending on scheduling and the details we need to confirm. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll let you know upfront so you’re not left waiting.
How fast can you close? We work around what you need. Some sellers want to close as soon as possible, while others need more flexibility. We’ll talk through your situation and set a closing date that makes sense for you — whether that’s sooner or later.
Do I have to meet in person? It’s always best to meet in person, but we can accommodate phone, text, or virtual options if needed. Many sellers prefer an in-person walkthrough so we can be accurate, but in some cases we can start with photos, video, and a phone call.
Money, Fees, and Pricing
Do you charge fees or commissions? No. Our goal is to make a clear offer and handle the purchase process smoothly. There is no catch. We’re just here to help if we are a good fit for each other.
What costs do you cover? We cover all closing costs. If anything unusual comes up, we’ll explain it upfront before you agree to anything.
Will I get a fair offer if I’m selling as-is? We aim to make a fair offer based on the home’s condition, the repairs we’ll take on, current market conditions, and the risk involved. We walk through how we arrive at our number so it’s transparent and not a mystery.
Why wouldn’t I just list with an agent instead? Listing can be a great option if your home is in retail condition and you want top dollar, can handle showings, inspections, repairs, and timeline uncertainty. Selling directly to us makes sense when you want speed, certainty, privacy, convenience, or don’t want to fix anything. We’re happy to help you think through both options.
Repairs, Cleanout, and Condition
Do I need to clean my house before selling to you? No. Many sellers leave items behind. We buy homes as-is, and we’ll talk through what you want to take and what you want to leave. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you.
Do I need to make repairs? No. We buy homes as-is, including properties that need major repairs.
Will you buy a house with fire damage, water damage, or mold? Yes, in many cases. These situations are common, and we’ll walk through it with you to see if we’re a fit.
Will you buy a vacant or boarded-up home? Yes. Vacant properties are very common for us.
Tough Situations Sellers Ask About
Can you help if I inherited a house in Rhode Island? Yes. We can help simplify the process and work with your timeline. If probate is involved, we’ll coordinate with the title company or attorney to make sure everything is handled correctly. Sometimes, we can even help connect you with the right probate attorney if needed.
Can you buy a house with tenants or a landlord situation? Often, yes. Every tenant situation is different, so we’ll ask a few questions and explain the available options. This is a very common situation in many of the houses we buy.
Can you help if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure in RI? In some cases, yes. The key is reaching out as early as possible so there’s time to review options.
Can you buy my house if there are liens or title issues? Sometimes. We’ll have the title company research it and explain what’s possible before moving forward. A lot of times, we can work with our title company to clean up difficult title issues.
Additional Support
Can you help with more than just buying my house? Yes. In many cases, we can help beyond just purchasing the home. This may include coordinating moving support, providing flexibility while you line up your next place to live, or structuring the sale in a way that gives you access to funds sooner. We’ll walk through your situation and explain what options are available so you can decide what works best for you.

Will you pressure me to sign something? No. Our job is to give you options and a clear offer. You decide what’s best for you.
After the Offer
What happens after I accept the offer? We open with the closing company, confirm title, and set a closing date that works for you. We’ll stay in touch so you always know what’s happening next. Every situation is unique, and we clearly explain the next steps so you know what to expect.
What if I change my mind? That depends on the stage of the process and what’s been signed. We’ll explain this clearly upfront so there are no surprises.
