Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you close?
Typical cash purchases close in 7–14 days. The timeline depends on the title search, any liens on the property, and how quickly you can sign documents.
Do you really pay cash?
Yes. We're a licensed Idaho brokerage and we buy with funds we already have. We don't need mortgage approval or an outside investor to close, which is why we can move in days instead of months.
What is the catch — are there hidden fees?
No. We pay standard closing costs out of the offer. There is no application fee, no listing commission, and no surprise deductions at closing.
How is your offer calculated?
We look at recent comparable sales nearby, the condition of the home, any liens or back taxes on title, and the cost of any work we expect to do after closing. Then we make our best fair offer — usually within 48 business hours.
Do I need to clean or repair the home before you buy it?
No. We buy homes as-is. Leave the furniture, the boxes in the garage, anything you don't want — we'll handle the cleanup after closing.
What if my property has back taxes, a lien, or a tenant?
We handle all of that. We work with a local title company that resolves liens and back taxes from the proceeds of the sale. If there is a tenant we can usually take the property with the lease in place.
Am I represented by an agent in this transaction?
No. Back Forty Real Estate is a licensed Idaho brokerage purchasing this property for our own account. You are not represented by a real estate agent in this transaction. We recommend you have your own attorney review any offer.
What documents do you need from me upfront?
The address, your contact info, and a rough sense of the condition. That's enough to start. We'll request a recent tax statement and a copy of the deed before drafting an offer.
Why sell to you instead of listing on the MLS?
Listing is the right call when the property is ready to show and you can wait 30–90 days for the right buyer. Selling to us is the right call when speed, condition, or privacy matters more than the last dollar.
Are you a wholesaler?
No. We close on the deal in our own name. We don't assign the contract to a third party, and we don't market the property to investors before closing.
