FAQ — Xemplar Investing & Co.

What is Xemplar Investing & Co?

Xemplar Investing & Co is a real estate investment company that helps homeowners sell their houses quickly through off market home sales. We buy houses directly from homeowners—without listing your home, without showings, and without the long delays that come with the traditional real estate process.

How does Xemplar Investing & Co work?

Our process is simple and designed to make selling fast and stress free:

  1. You contact us and tell us about the property.

  2. We ask a few questions and may request photos or schedule a quick walkthrough.

  3. We make a fair cash offer based on condition, location, and market value.

  4. You pick the closing date that works best for you.

  5. You get paid at closing through a reputable title company.

Do you buy houses in any condition?

Yes. We buy houses in any condition, including homes that need major repairs like:

  • Roof replacement

  • Plumbing issues

  • Electrical problems

  • HVAC replacement

  • Foundation settling/cracks

  • Fire, smoke, mold, or water damage

  • Hoarder houses

  • Outdated kitchens/bathrooms

You do not need to clean, fix, or renovate anything.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

No repairs are required. Xemplar Investing & Co buys homes as is, meaning you don’t have to:

  • Patch drywall

  • Paint

  • Replace carpet

  • Fix leaks

  • Repair roof damage

  • Clean out junk or unwanted furniture

We handle the repairs after closing.

How fast can you close?

In many cases, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, depending on title status and the situation. If you need more time, we can also close in 30, 45, or even 60+ days. You choose what works best.

Do you pay cash for houses?

Yes. We can purchase homes using cash (and verified funding partners), which helps avoid financing delays. Cash sales often close faster and reduce the risk of a deal falling apart due to lender requirements.

What types of properties do you buy?

We buy most types of residential real estate, including:

  • Single family homes

  • Townhomes

  • Condos

  • Duplexes and small multifamily

  • Rental properties

  • Vacant houses

  • Distressed properties

  • Homes with code violations

  • Homes with liens or complicated situations

Do you buy rental properties with tenants?

Yes. We buy rental properties even if they currently have tenants, including situations involving:

  • Non-paying tenants

  • Tenants refusing to leave

  • Lease issues

  • Tenant damages

  • Landlord fatigue

We’ll help you sell without needing to manage the tenant removal process yourself.

What is wholesaling real estate?

Wholesaling real estate is a legal and common real estate transaction method where we:

  • Put a property under contract

  • Identify a qualified buyer in our network

  • Assign the contract or facilitate the purchase through closing

This allows homeowners to sell quickly without listing, and allows buyers to purchase off market opportunities.

Are you a real estate agent?

No. Xemplar Investing & Co is not acting as a real estate agent. We are real estate investors and problem solvers who purchase properties off market.

That means:

  • No agent commissions

  • No open houses

  • No listing process

  • No buyer waiting

Do you charge commissions or fees?

No. We do not charge commissions like a realtor. In most cases:

  • You pay no agent fees

  • You pay no marketing fees

  • You pay no repair costs

  • You pay no cleaning costs

Do you pay closing costs?

In many situations, yes. We often cover typical closing costs through our preferred title company. The exact breakdown depends on the property and transaction structure, but we aim to keep the process simple and low-cost for the seller.

How do you determine your offer amount?

We calculate our offer based on:

  • Property location

  • Market value / comparable sales

  • Current condition

  • Estimated repairs

  • Local demand

We also consider the timeline and complexity (vacant, inherited, title issues, etc.).

Can I negotiate your cash offer?

Yes. If you believe the offer should be higher, we’re open to a conversation. We value transparency and will explain how we arrived at the number.

What if I don’t like the offer?

No problem. There is no obligation to accept our offer. If it doesn’t make sense for you, you can say no and explore other options.

Is there any risk or pressure to sign?

No. We are not a high-pressure company. Our goal is to give you a clear option and let you decide. If it’s not a fit, we part ways respectfully.

Can you buy my house if it’s in pre-foreclosure?

Yes. We can often help homeowners sell quickly to avoid foreclosure, protect credit, and stop further legal action. If you’re behind on payments or have received notices, reach out immediately—timing matters.

Can you buy my home if I owe back taxes or have liens?

Yes. Many homeowners don’t realize you can still sell a house with:

  • Tax liens

  • Mechanics liens

  • Judgments

  • Probate complications

  • Divorce situations

Title companies handle the paperwork and verify payoff amounts at closing.

Can you buy inherited houses or probate properties?

Yes. We regularly work with inherited properties and probate situations. If you inherited a home you don’t want to manage, we can help you sell quickly, even if:

  • The home is outdated

  • You live out of state

  • The home is full of contents

  • There are multiple heirs involved

Can you buy my house if it has code violations?

Yes. If the city has flagged your property for violations, we may still be able to purchase it as-is and resolve the issues after closing.

Can you buy vacant homes?

Yes. Vacant properties are one of the most common situations we purchase. If your home is:

  • sitting empty

  • costing you taxes/insurance

  • attracting vandalism

  • becoming a liability

We can help you sell quickly and remove the burden.

Do I have to clean out the house before selling?

No. Many sellers choose us because they don’t want to deal with cleanup. We can buy homes with:

  • furniture left behind

  • trash/junk

  • storage items

  • hoarder situations

How do I know this is legit?

Great question — and you should be cautious. Xemplar Investing & Co completes transactions through established title companies, uses legal purchase agreements, and provides clear terms with no hidden clauses.

We encourage homeowners to:

  • review the contract carefully

  • ask questions

  • consult an attorney if desired

Who pays the title company?

The title company collects all costs on the settlement statement at closing. In most cases, we cover the standard buyer-side closing costs. Specific details will be shown clearly before you sign anything.

Do you buy houses outside of Utah?

Yes — we buy houses in multiple markets. If you’re outside Utah, still reach out. We may already have a buyer network in your area or can refer you to a trusted partner.
