FAQ
Have some questions about selling your house?
We know that selling a house for cash to a company like ours is a big decision. The questions below are common things we get asked about the process and Leger Home Buyers.
Yes, it is! The real estate industry is rapidly changing, and thousands of Canadians are exploring their options when it comes to selling their house the fastest, easiest, and most transparent way. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for those homeowners who may not have the time or ability to list their house on the market for top dollar. We’ll work with you to assess your situation, make you a transparent all-cash offer, and close on your timeline.
Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer possible. Unlike other buyers or the big tech giants, we’re transparent with how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re entirely transparent with this offer process and happy to walk you through how it works.
At Leger Home Buyers, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing due to the need to make arrangements, explore your future options, etc., we will schedule the closing on the day that works best for you!
After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compare that to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, and the benefits are obvious!
“All-cash” means exactly that – all cash for your Calgary home! Because we are real estate investors who are purchasing your home directly, we don’t rely on traditional financing like retail homebuyers. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the financing falling through, or closing being delayed. When we make you an offer, that’s the full amount you’ll receive at close.
We buy your Calgary home as-is, meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, and more after we purchase your home. We factor this into our offer, of course, but it saves you the money and the headache associated with getting your home ready to sell.
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.
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 6-12 months) and then take 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. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6 to 12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
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. 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.
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 values 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.
Many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses Calgary that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
If you are behind on mortgage payments and worried about foreclosure, you still have options. Many homeowners in Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta choose to sell their house fast to stop the foreclosure process before it damages their credit further. Working with cash home buyers allows you to avoid listing delays, showings, and buyer financing issues that can slow down a traditional sale.
At Leger Home Buyers, we buy houses in any condition and can often provide a fair cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept the offer, you choose the closing date and we work directly with your lender to help pay off the outstanding mortgage balance. Because we buy houses for cash, there are no bank approvals or last minute financing fall throughs to worry about.
If you are searching for ways to avoid foreclosure, sell my house fast, or find trusted cash home buyers in Alberta, the first step is to request a no obligation cash offer. Acting quickly can help you protect your credit, reduce stress, and move forward with certainty.
Yes. In many cases, you can sell a rental home in Alberta without making repairs and even while tenants are still in place. Many landlords choose to sell because of ongoing maintenance, tenant issues, vacancy concerns, or simply because they are ready to step away from property management. At Leger Home Buyers, we help landlords sell rental properties as-is, which means you do not have to spend more money fixing up the home before selling.

Selling an inherited home in Alberta does not have to mean months of cleanup, repairs, or renovations.

At Leger Home Buyers, we buy inherited homes as-is, so you can sell the property without fixing it up first. This can be especially helpful if you inherited a house in Calgary, Edmonton, or another Alberta community and want a faster, simpler solution. If you need to sell an inherited home fast, we can make a fair cash offer and help you move forward without the stress of a traditional listing.
In many cases, you can begin the process of selling a probate home in Alberta before the estate is fully finalized, but the sale usually cannot close until the proper legal authority is in place. Every probate situation is different, and the timeline can depend on the executor, the court process, and whether multiple heirs are involved. Leger Home Buyers works with families who need to sell a probate home in Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta, and we can help you understand your options while keeping the process simple. We buy probate properties as-is, which allows families to sell without repairs, listings, or long delays once the estate allows the sale to move forward.
Yes. You can sell a damaged house in Alberta without making repairs, especially if you work with a direct home buyer. Many homeowners try to list damaged properties but run into problems with inspections, financing, and repair requests from buyers. Leger Home Buyers purchases damaged homes in Calgary, Edmonton, and throughout Alberta in as-is condition, including houses with fire damage, water damage, structural problems, or major maintenance issues. If you need to sell a damaged property fast, we can make a fair cash offer and close on your timeline without requiring renovations or cleanup.
