Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about selling your home to Alberti.
How do you calculate your cash offer?
We evaluate several factors including the property's location, condition, market value, and potential for improvement. Our team will conduct a thorough inspection and provide you with a fair, competitive cash offer based on current market conditions. We don't use automated valuations—our experienced buyers personally assess each property.
What if my house needs significant repairs?
We buy homes in any condition. Whether your house needs a roof replacement, foundation work, interior updates, or just cleaning, we'll still make a fair offer. You don't need to spend money on repairs before selling to us. We factor repair costs into our offer and handle all the work ourselves.
What if I still have a mortgage?
No problem at all. We handle the entire closing process, including paying off your mortgage balance. Our team will work with your lender to ensure everything is paid off correctly. You'll walk away with the cash difference after your mortgage is satisfied. Many of our customers had existing mortgages when they sold to us.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
Step 1: Initial Offer (24 hours) - Submit your property information and receive a cash offer within 24 hours. Step 2: Property Inspection (1-3 days) - We schedule a time to inspect the property. This is typically completed within a few days. Step 3: Final Offer (24 hours) - We provide a final cash offer based on our inspection. No appraisals or financing contingencies. Step 4: Closing (as fast as 7 days) - We handle all paperwork. You choose the closing date—some customers close in 7 days; others prefer to close in 30+ days.
Are there any hidden fees or commissions?
No. We charge zero commissions and have no hidden fees. The cash offer we provide is what you receive after closing. We cover all closing costs, title work, and inspection fees. You don't pay real estate commissions (typically 5-6%), and you don't pay for repairs. This is why many homeowners choose to sell to us instead of listing on the traditional market.
Do I have to accept your offer?
Absolutely not. Our offer is no-obligation. You're completely free to reject it, negotiate, or explore other options. We want you to feel confident in your decision. However, many customers find our offer is better than what they'd net after paying commissions and repairs on the traditional market.
What areas do you service?
We buy homes throughout Baltimore and surrounding Maryland counties, including Towson, Columbia, Ellicott City, Catonsville, and more. We specialize in Baltimore properties but can work with homeowners in the greater Maryland area. If you're unsure whether we serve your area, call 443-327-9292 and we'll let you know right away.
What if there's a lien or tax issue on my property?
We can handle properties with liens, back taxes, or other legal issues. During the inspection process, we'll discuss any liens or claims against the property. We work with title companies to ensure everything is properly resolved at closing. You won't have to worry about these issues—we'll take care of them.
Do you buy rental properties and investment homes?
Yes! We buy all types of properties including single-family homes, rental properties, multi-unit buildings, condos, townhouses, and investment properties. Whether the property is occupied or vacant, in good condition or needs work, we can make you a fair cash offer.
Why should I trust Alberti?
We've been buying homes in Maryland for over 15 years. We have an A+ BBB rating and have purchased over 500 homes. We're a local business with deep roots in the community. Unlike some companies, we're transparent about our process, we don't use high-pressure tactics, and we treat every homeowner with respect. Read what our customers say—many have left positive reviews.
