FAQ
Selling a house is a big decision, and most homeowners in St. Louis have questions before getting started. Below are some of the most common questions we receive at Matic Properties, Inc. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us anytime for a quick, honest answer.
Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. Here at Matic Properties, we are professional home buyers: We buy houses directly in St. Louis and surrounding areas 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.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 4-6 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house.
Real estate agents provide a valuable service for homeowners who have time to list and wait for the highest possible price. But if speed, convenience, and certainty matter more, selling directly to a cash buyer can be a better fit.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?
We aim to provide a fair, transparent cash offer based on your home’s condition, location, and current market value. While cash offers may differ from full retail market listings, many homeowners choose us to avoid repairs, commissions, holding costs, and months of uncertainty.

How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
Great question, and we’re 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 the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
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 directly to us compared to listing fees, where up to 6% comes out of your pocket. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. We’re taking the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not. Once we buy the house from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your hand.
Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
