FAQ
GENERAL QUESTIONS
What does Zar Real Estate LLC do?
Zar Real Estate LLC is a home-buying company that specializes in purchasing residential properties for cash. We buy houses in any condition across Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, allowing homeowners to sell quickly without repairs, fees, or listing their home on the market.
What types of properties do you buy?
We purchase single-family homes, townhomes, condos, inherited properties, distressed properties, homes in foreclosure, rental properties with tenants, and even homes with major repairs needed. If you own it, we’re interested.
Do you buy homes in any condition?
Yes. We buy homes “as-is,” meaning you don’t have to fix a single thing. Whether it needs major renovations or just a little work, we’ll still make a fair offer.
What areas do you serve?
We buy homes throughout the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia). If your property is within this region, chances are we can make you an offer.
Are you a real estate agent?
No. We are not realtors—we are direct home buyers. You won’t pay commissions, listing fees, or deal with open houses or showings.
CASH OFFERS & PROCESS
How do you determine your offer price?
We evaluate the property’s condition, location, market value of similar homes, and any necessary repairs. We make fair cash offers based on this information, and we explain our numbers to you so everything is transparent.
Will I get a lowball offer?
Absolutely not. Our goal is to make a fair and competitive offer that works for both parties. We are always transparent and happy to walk you through how we arrived at our number.
How fast will I receive an offer?
Once we evaluate your home (often during a short visit or virtual walkthrough), we can usually give you a cash offer within 24 hours.
Is the offer negotiable?
In many cases, yes. If you believe we’ve missed something or want to discuss the numbers, we’re open to having that conversation.
Do you really pay cash?
Yes. Our offers are backed by our own capital or trusted financial partners, which means no mortgage delays and faster closings
TIMING & FLEXIBILITY
How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days, but we’re flexible—whether you need to move
quickly or want to wait a few weeks, we’ll work on your timeline.
What if I’m not ready to move right away?
No problem. We can schedule your closing for whenever you’re ready. In some
cases, we can even offer rent-back options to give you time to transition.
Can I choose my own closing date?
Yes. You’re in control of when we close. Just let us know what works for you.
What if I’m out of town or out of state?
We handle remote closings all the time. You can sign paperwork digitally or with a
mobile notary.
Do I have to clean or empty the house before selling?
Not at all. Take what you want, leave what you don’t. We handle the clean-out
process after closing.
FEES & COSTS
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. We cover all closing costs, and there are no realtor fees or hidden charges.
Will I have to pay for inspections?
No. We don’t require formal home inspections like traditional buyers, and you
won’t have to pay for one.
Who pays for closing costs?
We do. You walk away with the amount we offer—no surprises at the closing table.
Do I need to pay a deposit or earnest money?
No. Unlike traditional buyers, we don’t ask you to put down a deposit to start the
process.
Are there any hidden charges I should worry about?
None. We pride ourselves on being 100% transparent from day one. The amount
you see in our offer is what you’ll receive.
LEGAL & DOCUMENTATION
Do I need a lawyer to sell my home to you?
While you’re always welcome to involve a lawyer, it’s not required. Our title
company handles all legal documents and ensures a clean, safe transaction.
What documents do I need to provide?
Usually just a valid photo ID and proof of ownership (like your deed or tax bill). Our
team will guide you through the rest.
What if there are liens or unpaid taxes on the house?
We can often work around these issues. We’ll assess the situation and help you
resolve them during the closing process.
Can I sell if I’m behind on my mortgage?
Yes. In many cases, we can work with your lender to pay off what’s owed and still
get you cash in hand
Can I sell a home in probate or inherited property?
Absolutely. We frequently work with families to sell inherited homes, even if the
probate process isn’t finished yet.
DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
Can you help if I’m facing foreclosure?
Yes. Time is critical in foreclosure cases, and we can help you avoid it by buying
your home before the bank takes action.
What if I’m going through a divorce?
We can buy the property and work with both parties to make the process simple,
fair, and fast.
What if there are tenants in the home?
We can still buy it. Whether they’re good tenants or problematic ones, we’ll handle
the transition after closing.
Can I sell if my house is damaged or has code violations?
Yes. We buy homes with fire damage, mold, structural issues, or city violations. No
need to fix anything.
Can I sell if I already moved out?
Yes. If the home is vacant, we can arrange a fast closing and handle everything remotely if needed.
