There are absolutely no fees or commissions when working with Avalon House Buyers. Our offers are simple and straightforward.

Unlike real estate agents who are primarily motivated by commissions, Avalon House Buyers follows a different business model. When you opt for a traditional real estate agent, you are often required to prepare your property for showings, which can involve expenses related to repairs and renovations. On average, working with an agent comes with a commission fee ranging from 6-8%. Additionally, agents may demand your weekends and necessitate that you vacate your own home for open houses and showings. If your property fails to sell, it can sit on the market for months, incurring both time and financial costs. In contrast, Avalon House Buyers provides all the services you'd expect from an agent, including title transfer, escrow, and market trend guidance – without charging any commissions! Our aim is to offer you comprehensive support through the process and make it as easy as possible.

"iBuyers," which are typically large tech companies, rely on algorithms to determine your house's price. They often fail to price in the value of up and coming neighborhoods because they are unfamiliar with the Houston-Galveston region. Dealing with iBuyers can often feel impersonal, akin to the frustration of calling a company like CVS and desperately shouting 'Person, person, I want to talk to a person!' If unforeseen circumstances arise, like needing extra time to pack beyond the closing date, iBuyers may not be accommodating. Additionally, iBuyers often charge a higher service fee than agents, averaging around 9%, and in some cases, it can go as high as 13%. While iBuyers share some similarities with our business, the standout factor that sets us apart from our competitors is our dedicated team. We genuinely care and are committed to guiding you every step of the way.
