QuickBuy® FAQs

• Receive an immediate offer on your qualified home and close in as few as 14 days from acceptance.
• Eliminate or reduce the time and expense of preparing the house for the market.
• Save on carrying costs while the home is listed, such as utilities, insurance, and taxes.

Yes, like any responsible purchaser, QuickBuy^® will engage a qualified inspector to visit the home and submit a detailed condition report. The QuickBuy^® team will review the results and resolve any significant concerns through negotiation with the seller.

No. One of the many reasons the QuickBuy^® Lock program is so successful is due to the professional manner in which we vet and hand select the agents. Since our carefully managed program includes the offer to purchase your home, strict objectivity, and adherence to the program terms are required. Only trained and approved agents can represent the QuickBuy^® Lock program.

The listing protocol is designed to achieve the best price for your home, in the time frame you desire. The recommended list price and reductions schedule are necessary components to accomplish the goal. That said, you can always list lower than the recommended list price or reduce sooner should the buyer feedback warrant, but the policy standards are the maximum listing protocols to remain qualified for QuickBuy® Lock.

We are often asked if it’s OK to leave the shelves in the garage, the workbench in the basement, leftover building supplies like tiles or paint, garden tools, and even furniture. Feel free to ask about anything specific. Generally, it’s OK to leave something behind if it’s of immediate use to the next owner, like a workbench or shelving. Otherwise, the home should be empty, and leftover paints, fuel cans, and cleaning solutions should be discarded.

The attached QuickBuy^® contract lists the closing costs. Please note, being a national program, we standardized the closing costs to be apportioned similarly across the country regardless of unique practices in each state, county, or township.

Property taxes and homeowner association fees are prorated through the day of closing. If payments have been made in advance, a credit to the seller appears on the settlement statement. If payments are made in arrears, a charge to the seller brings the amounts due current through the closing date.

In the two weeks prior to closing the sale, Moving Station’s real estate agent will contact you to schedule the final walk-through and arrange to collect the keys and remotes. The agent will also be able to assist in transitioning the utility accounts. Do not have any utility disconnected or shut off, as these actions can incur costs and possibly create a hazardous situation at the home.

In most locations, a local attorney or title company will manage the closing. In many instances, the attorney or title agent can meet you at your home or your community for the settlement. In some instances, the closing documents can be handled in the mail or with a traveling notary. Moving Station’s closing coordinator will work with you to make the arrangements.

As soon as possible the power of attorney document should be reviewed and approved by Moving Station’s closing coordinator before anything is signed. The original power of attorney document may be required at the closing.

If the home is held in a trust, a copy of the trust will need to be provided to Moving Station’s closing coordinator so it can be reviewed by the title company or attorney. If the home is held in the name of a late spouse, a copy of the death certificate may be required. Depending on the location of the property, additional information may be required by law (probate, court order, etc). If the title to the home is shared with other family members, all parties will need to execute all documents in connection with the sale.

It happens with some frequency that taxing bodies, condo associations, utility companies, or other services will continue sending mail to the home address, which is then forwarded to you. With rare exception, these accounts are already managed by the new owner, but to be safe and sure, please forward them to your Personal Relocation Manager for confirmation.

In consultation with you and your community, you can decide if the proceeds will be delivered via check handed to you at the final settlement, or wired to the account you specify, or wired directly to your community to cover the entry fee if it’s still due and payable, or any combination of these.
