Common questions
Short answers about who we are and how a deal works. If you need more detail, email us at hello@libertydeed.com.
We are real estate investors, not licensed real estate agents or brokers.
1. Do you have a real estate license?
No. Liberty Deed buys properties as a principal, on its own account. We are not a licensed real estate agent or broker, and we do not represent you. You may want to talk with an Alabama attorney before you sign anything.
2. Do I pay fees or commissions?
We charge sellers no fees or commissions. If we assign our contract, the later buyer pays us. That is how we are paid, and it is usually the difference between that buyer's price and your contract price. Your contract price does not change.
3. Do I need to make repairs?
No. We buy houses as they are. You do not have to clean, paint, or repair anything before you talk with us.
4. How fast can we close?
Timing depends on the deal. It depends on the property, title work, and the contract we sign with you. We do not promise a closing date on this site.
5. Will you pay a set price?
No. We do not promise a price in advance. If your property is a fit, we will make an offer based on that house and that deal. You can accept or decline.
6. What does "we buy houses or contracts" mean?
It means two things, and we will be plain about which path a deal takes. Sometimes we buy the home and close in our own name. Often we put the home under a purchase contract and may assign that contract to another buyer. In that case we hold contract rights, not the deed. The later buyer then closes with you on the same contract terms. Before an assignment takes effect, Alabama law requires us to give you written notice at least three business days ahead. We will also tell you in writing before we market our contract to anyone.
7. Do you own the homes you show to buyers?
No. When we share a deal with a buyer, we are offering our contract interest, not a house we own. We are not the owner or the deed holder. Title comes from the seller at closing.
8. Where do you buy?
Alabama only, for now. We are local, veteran owned and operated, and focused on homes in this state.
9. What happens after I send the form?
We review what you shared and follow up by email, or by phone if you shared a number. If the property is a fit, we talk through an offer and a contract. There is no obligation just for reaching out.
10. Can I get my own advice before I sign?
Yes. You are welcome to have an Alabama attorney review any contract before you sign. We do not represent sellers or buyers.
