Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions. That’s okay; most people do. Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers. If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Metastone Property Solutions LLC, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses Billings that meet our purchasing criteria, and we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal. After purchasing, we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Does Metastone Property Solutions pay fair prices for local properties?
A: Many of the local Billings houses we buy are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property; however, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property.
They appreciate that we offer cash, close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and 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. Metastone Property Solutions has a no-obligation pricing commitment, which means you do not have to move forward with the offer we give if you don’t want to — but it is good to know what we’re willing to pay for your unwanted house!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Great question! Metastone Property Solutions is an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently.
As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years, and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration to come up with a fair price that works for not just for us, but that works for you, too.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with Metastone Property Solutions?
A: 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 Metastone Property Solutions.
We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a good fit then 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, if we can.
We take all the risk once we buy the house from you. The responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property or its payments, often with cash in your hand.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Selling a home in Billings, Montana, through a traditional real estate agent can take 6-12 months. During that time, you may have to deal with showings, repairs, and negotiations, only to pay a hefty 3-6% commission at closing—that’s $3,000–$6,000 on a $100,000 home.
At Metastone Property Solutions, we do things differently. We are local, professional home buyers who purchase houses directly for cash—no agents, no commissions, and no waiting. Since we use our own funds, we can close in just a few days—sometimes even the same day. It usually just depends on how fast the title company can get the paperwork ready for closing. We use First Montana Title.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us about your property, we’ll take a look at the details. We might set up a call to learn a little more, then make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us.
After you receive our cash offer, it’s 100% your decision on whether you’d like to sell your house to us. Metastone Property Solutions will not hassle you or harass you for an answer. The decision is 100% yours with zero obligations. Think about it and make the decision that’s right for you.
