FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our platform and process.
Is horAIzen a real estate broker?
No, it's a software marketplace. A licensed local agent represents you and uses our platform to connect your property with verified investors.
How is horAIzen different from "We Buy Houses" companies or wholesalers?
Instead of selling to a single cash buyer or a middleman, horAIzen creates competition. A licensed agent packages your property and presents it to multiple verified cash buyers who compete for it, often driving the final price up.
Are there fees?
Yes. On an Investor Direct sale, the seller pays the listing agent's commission plus a platform fee. Buyers pay their own costs. All fees are clearly disclosed before you sign any agreement.
How fast is this?
Investor offers typically start arriving within 24 hours to a few days. An Investor Direct sale can close in about 3 weeks, whereas a traditional MLS sale typically takes months.
Will I get more than one offer?
Your property goes to verified investors whose specific "buy box" criteria match your home. Often, the first offer arrives within 24 hours, driving competition among multiple buyers.
Do I have to use a real estate agent?
A licensed agent is how horAIzen can legally market your property to investors. However, you are never obligated to accept an offer or keep the agent beyond the agreement term.
Can I sell my house as-is if it needs major repairs?
Yes. You can sell your property completely as-is with no inspection period or repairs required. We can also help you compare the net outcome of selling as-is versus making improvements.
What if I’m facing foreclosure or a deadline?
Because our verified investors can often submit offers within 24 hours and close in a matter of weeks, we can help you expedite the sale to meet strict deadlines or avoid foreclosure.
Should I sell to an investor or list on the MLS?
It depends on your priorities. An investor sale offers speed and certainty with zero repairs. An MLS sale might yield a higher top-line price but requires more time, showings, and potential repairs. You can compare both paths through our platform.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. You are never obligated to accept any investor offer. If the offers aren't right for you, you maintain the flexibility to explore other options.
