Frequently Asked Questions

Great question. We're not agents, and we don't list houses. We are professional home buyers — we buy houses in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Many of the local South Dakota houses we buy are below market value. We do this so we can resell at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property; however, in our experience, many sellers aren't necessarily expecting a large "windfall."

They appreciate that we offer cash, close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and that no extra time, effort, or expense is required to fix up the property. Since real estate agents aren't involved, there are also no agent fees.

If a seamless sale is what you're looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let's talk and see if we can come to a fair win-win price. Big Sioux Home Buyers has a no-obligation pricing commitment — you do not have to move forward with the offer we give if you don't want to. But it's always good to know what we're willing to pay.

Great question — Big Sioux Home Buyers is an open book. Our process is straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the values of comparable houses sold in the area recently.

We take many pieces of information into consideration to come up with a fair price that works for not just us, but for you too.

This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house — there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to Big Sioux Home Buyers.

We'll make you an offer, and if it's a good fit, we'll buy your house. We often pay the closing costs too. No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit. We take on all the risk once we buy the house from you, and you walk away without the burden of the property or its payments — often with cash in hand.

Real estate agents list properties and hope someone will buy them. The agent shows the property to prospective buyers (the average time to sell in many markets right now is 6–12 months), then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, that commission is 3–6% — on a $100,000 house, that's $3,000–$6,000 out of your pocket.

Real estate agents provide a great service for those who can afford to wait and don't mind giving up some of the sale price — but that's where Big Sioux Home Buyers is different.

We're not agents, we're professional local South Dakota home buyers. We buy houses directly — we don't list them. Since we're the ones buying the house with cash, we can get money in your hands within days. We make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own money, invest in repairs, and market it ourselves.

Absolutely zero obligation. Once you tell us about your property, we'll look at the details, possibly set up a quick call to learn a little more, and then make you an all-cash offer that's fair for both sides.

After you receive our offer, the decision is 100% yours. Big Sioux Home Buyers will never hassle or pressure you for an answer. Think it over and do what's right for you.
