The things folks wonder about first
Honest answers to the questions we hear at kitchen tables around the metro. If yours is not covered, give us a call and a real person will talk it through with you.
How it works
What actually happens when I reach out to Scissortail Home Buyers?
You share a little about the house, through the form or a quick call, and there is no pressure attached. We take a look at the property and its condition, then bring you a straightforward cash offer. If it feels right, you choose a closing date that fits your life. Getting the offer costs nothing, and saying no costs nothing either.
Are there any fees or commissions to worry about?
No. Selling directly to us means no agent commissions and no listing fees. Standard closing costs run through a title company, and we go over every number with you in writing before anyone signs a thing.
Is the offer really free and no-obligation?
Yes, truly. An offer costs you nothing and ties you to nothing. If it is not the right fit, you simply tell us, and there are no hard feelings.
How do you land on your offer number?
We look at the home as it is today, what similar homes nearby have sold for, and what repairs the place needs. Because we buy as-is and take on the repair cost and risk ourselves, a cash offer usually comes in below full renovated retail. We would much rather explain that math than hide it.
Would I walk away with more by listing with an agent?
Sometimes, and we will tell you when. If your home is updated and market-ready, listing may net more after fees. A cash sale tends to win when condition, speed, or simply keeping things easy matters more to you than the last dollar.
Condition, timeline, and the details
Do I need to fix anything or clean up before you buy?
Not a thing. As-is means exactly that around here. There is no repairing, no cleaning, no staging, and nothing to haul away. If something is broken, dated, or simply got left behind, it is welcome to stay put.
What kinds of homes and situations do you actually buy?
A wide range, honestly. Homes needing serious repairs, inherited and probate houses, divorce sales, title trouble, back taxes, worn-out rentals, manufactured homes, bare land, and homes touched by fire or storm damage all land on our desk. And if yours does not seem to match any of those, ask us anyway.
How soon can a sale close?
Honestly, it varies with the home itself, the title work, and what your life needs. Because we are the buyer, there is no waiting on a stranger's financing, so the timing tends to be steadier than a listing that could sit for months. Once we have walked the home, we will give you an honest read on the calendar, and until then we would rather not name a date we cannot stand behind.
Can I choose the closing date?
Usually, yes. Tell us the date that would make your life easiest, whether that is right around the corner or several months down the road, and we do our best to build the sale around it. Once we know the details, we will confirm what is truly workable.
Can you buy a home that still has a tenant or is full of belongings?
Yes to both. Occupied rentals and homes still packed to the rafters are ones we buy often. Leave the tenant in place and the closets full; none of that has to change before we talk. What happens to an existing lease after a sale is a legal question, and that one belongs with your attorney.
What if there is a mortgage, a lien, or back taxes on the house?
They come up all the time, and a title company usually takes care of them at closing, settling what is owed out of the money the sale brings in, so long as the price stretches far enough to cover it. Before anything is signed, you see every payoff figure spelled out on paper. And since we are buyers rather than attorneys, the legal side gets confirmed by the title company and by your own counsel.
Trust, privacy, and the fine print
Who is Scissortail Home Buyers?
We are a home buying company rooted in the Oklahoma City metro. We purchase houses directly and as-is, and we work hard to keep everything warm, clear, and low-pressure from the first hello to the closing table. You can find our legal entity details on the privacy and terms pages while our attorney finishes confirming them.
Do you make any promises about how things will turn out?
No, and we are careful about this one. Prices, timelines, and outcomes are things we never promise, and we will not lean on you with claims we cannot keep. Once we have actually seen your home and its specifics, we tell you what we can realistically do, and not a moment sooner.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. Legal, tax, and credit questions belong with your own attorney or another qualified professional, because we are home buyers and nothing more. When a sale structure calls for paperwork, an attorney prepares it in writing and yours looks it over, so you are never relying on our word alone.
What do you do with the information I share?
Just enough to understand the home and get back in touch with you, and that is it. Our privacy page spells out in plain words how your details are handled. Sending the form gives us your okay to reach you by call, text, or email about the property you shared. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
What if I decide I want full market value instead?
Then listing on the open market may be the better tool for you, and we will say so honestly rather than talk you out of it. We would rather you get the right outcome than push a cash sale that does not fit what you want.
Do you follow fair housing rules?
Yes, fully. We buy homes from everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and regardless of familial status, disability, or any other protected class. Fair and equal treatment for every neighbor we work with is not negotiable for us.
