1. How is using Alaskan Home Buyers different from selling my house with the help of a real estate agent?
In the traditional real estate process, an agent manages the sale, using tools like the MLS to find buyers. This can take weeks or even months and often involves multiple showings, along with additional costs such as title fees, closing costs, and agent commissions. In contrast, we offer a faster solution by either purchasing your property for cash or connecting you with buyers who can do the same. After renovating the property, we resell it for a profit. When you sell to us, we handle inspection and closing costs with no agent commissions, ensuring a quick and hassle-free sale.
2. How do I know this is the best course of action for me?
Selling property through traditional real estate channels can be time-consuming and complex, often involving inspections, repairs, and negotiations with multiple buyers, all of which can impact the final sale price. We offer a simpler alternative. By understanding your situation, we cover all selling costs and make a fair offer, streamlining the process. Even if your home is in excellent condition, you might prefer a quick sale. After evaluating your property, we’ll provide personalized advice on whether working with a traditional agent is the best option for you.

4. How does it work?
At our company, we simplify the property-selling process by removing intermediaries like real estate agents and inspectors. We specialize in fast, hassle-free cash purchases for all types of properties, including homes, condos, apartments, and land—regardless of their condition. Here’s how it works: We start with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to assess your property’s potential value after renovations, followed by a detailed inspection to identify necessary repairs and estimate costs. Our goal is to ensure a fair profit margin while maintaining full transparency. We provide a clear breakdown of the transaction and keep you informed at every step. By working with us, you can skip showings, open houses, and long listings. For more details on our all-cash, as-is transactions, visit our How It Works page or contact us at (907) 531-5345.

Our service is built on trust and transparency. We offer clear, detailed analyses to help you understand our pricing and potential profits. Our goal is to provide the best payment for your property, highlighting the time and financial benefits of selling to us. With a focus on honesty and fairness, we’ve earned a strong reputation in Alaska. By prioritizing integrity over self-promotion, we’ve gained the trust of homeowners as reliable cash home buyers. We take the time to understand your timeline, address your concerns, and provide an offer that meets your needs. Backed by a strong network of investors and partners, we strive to make your transition as smooth as possible.
6. What do you do with my house once you buy it?
Once we acquire your property, we focus on refurbishment. We take care of all repairs and renovations to meet HGTV standards and collaborate with a trusted agent to list and manage the sale. We cover all costs, including repairs, closing fees, and commissions. Our aim is to earn a fair profit, allowing us to help more clients with their property sales. We are dedicated to improving communities and supporting the local economy by raising property values throughout the state.
7. How many houses do you buy?
Our strategy focuses on acquiring multiple properties to offer competitive pricing. Although we work with tighter profit margins, our large client base enables us to make a bigger impact, supporting a wide range of individuals and positively affecting the communities we serve. If we’re unable to purchase your property directly, one of our investment partners may be able to help. We work closely with experienced house-flipping professionals and trusted local attorneys to ensure a smooth and efficient closing process.
8. How is the price you pay for my house determined?
Our process starts with evaluating your property’s After-Repair Value (ARV), which estimates its worth after renovations. A specialist will visit the property to assess repair, refurbishment, and selling costs. By selling directly to us, you avoid real estate agent fees, although we do hire an agent to list the property after purchase. We cover all holding costs, closing costs, taxes, fees, and commissions—typically around 10% of the ARV. From the ARV, we subtract repair, refurbishment, and selling expenses, along with our minimum profit margin, to provide you with a fair offer. This offer is often similar to what you’d receive through traditional selling methods, minus agent fees. Choosing us means a fast cash sale without the delays or complexities of working with an agent.
9. Do you pay a fair price?
Our core values focus on maintaining a strong reputation and upholding the highest standards of integrity in every transaction. This commitment ensures we offer fair and transparent pricing. We provide a clear breakdown of how each dollar is allocated and explain the reasoning behind our offer. Our process begins with a detailed evaluation of your property’s market value, considering necessary repairs, renovations, and any related costs or selling expenses. After this review, we include our reasonable commission to present a cash offer that accurately reflects your property’s value.
10. Do I need to clean my house before you buy it?
A key advantage of our process is the peace of mind it offers. You can sell your property as-is without the need for cleaning or repairs. Once we purchase your home, we take care of everything, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Our clients appreciate the convenience and efficiency of our approach.
11. Will you still buy my house if it is in poor condition?
House flipping is a key aspect of our business strategy. After acquiring a property, we increase its value through essential repairs and improvements, allowing you to avoid the hassle while still receiving a competitive selling price—without the delays of traditional methods. While most transactions take about a month, we often complete the process in just two to three weeks. Our goal is to make your property-selling experience smooth and efficient.
12. Wouldn’t it be easier to list my house with an agent on MLS?
Working with a real estate agent and listing your property can be effective, but it often leads to a lengthy and stressful process. You’ll need to manage potential buyers, coordinate with appraisers and inspectors, and handle repairs, all while waiting for the right offer. Renovations can boost your asking price, but they come with significant costs. The frustration of holding open houses and dealing with price reductions after weeks or months without offers can be overwhelming. Plus, the closing process can take weeks, even after finding a buyer. In contrast, we provide a fast, hassle-free solution with a quick cash offer, allowing you to move forward without unnecessary delays or stress.
13. Will you list my house on the MLS?
Our firm takes a unique approach to property transactions. Rather than listing homes on the MLS or acting as traditional agents, we buy properties directly. We collaborate with you to create a customized offer tailored to your needs and preferences. We manage the entire process from start to finish. After purchasing your property, we handle all repairs and renovations before reselling it for a profit. Our focus on efficiency ensures you receive cash quickly, without delays. Transparency is a key part of our process, and we provide clear explanations of how we determine our offers so you can feel informed and confident every step of the way.
14. Should I just list my house with an agent?
Partnering with a real estate agent can be beneficial, depending on your timeline and repair needs. However, it often results in a lengthy process with multiple showings, inspections, and potential financing delays, extending the sale over months. For a faster and more efficient alternative, Alaskan Home Buyers is the ideal solution. We offer a smooth, professionally managed experience that guarantees a quick transaction and immediate cash payment, eliminating the stress of traditional selling for a hassle-free process.
15. How do I sell my house quickly for cash?
We specialize in buying properties quickly for cash. Our process begins with a conversation to understand your property and its location, helping us determine its maximum market value. Next, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to assess any needed repairs or renovations. These costs, along with other selling expenses, are factored into our fair and competitive offer. A key advantage of our service is the ability to close in as little as 21 days, giving you fast access to cash. This streamlined process avoids the delays and complexities often associated with real estate agents and listings.
16. Do I have to pay fees and commissions if I work with you?
When you work with us, you won’t have to worry about fees or commissions, as our approach differs from traditional real estate agents. Fees are only incurred when we resell the property after purchasing it from you. Our pricing process is simple and consists of three steps: First, we assess your property’s market value. Then, we factor in repair, renovation, and selling costs, along with our profit. Finally, we make a fair offer. Once accepted, we schedule a closing date and take care of all paperwork with the help of a trusted local attorney. This streamlined process ensures a quick sale with no hidden fees.
17. Am I obligated to do business with you once I fill out the form?
Once you complete the form, there’s no obligation to move forward with our services. If you decide not to proceed after we begin, there’s no cost to you. While we’re confident our service will be beneficial, we respect your choice to explore other options. Our goal is to help you find the best solution for your needs. We generate revenue solely from the profit made when buying and selling your property. For more information, check our FAQ.
