Metastone Property Solutions Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions about our local Sioux Falls, SD home buying business. That’s okay, most people do. Here’s a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers.
If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us here or give us a call. We’re happy to answer any of your questions regarding the home buying or home selling process.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers: We buy houses in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that meet our purchasing criteria. From there, we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: Does Metastone Property Solutions pay fair prices for local properties?
A: Many of the local South Dakota houses we buy are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another home owner. We are looking to get a fair discount on a property; however, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property.
They appreciate that we offer cash, close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no extra time, effort, or expense is required to fix up the property. Since real estate agents aren’t involved, there are also no agent fees.
If a seamless sale is what you’re looking for, and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s talk and see if we can come to a fair win-win price. Metastone Property Solutions has a no-obligation pricing commitment, which means you do not have to move forward with the offer we give if you don’t want to — but it is good to know what we’re willing to pay for your unwanted house!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Great question! Metastone Property Solutions is an open book. Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently.
As you know, house values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years, and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration to come up with a fair price that works for not just for us, but that works for you, too.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with Metastone Property Solutions?
A: This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your house. There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house to Metastone Property Solutions.
We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a good fit then we’ll buy your house. We often pay the closing costs, too! No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house (if any) and sell it for a profit, if we can.
We take all the risk once we buy the house from you. The responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property or its payments, often with cash in your hand.
Q: How is Metastone Property Solutions different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope someone will buy them. The agent shows properties to prospective buyers, if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months), then they take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer.
Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of a house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent. Real estate agents provide a great service for those who can afford to wait 6-12 months to sell, and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for commissions and fees — but that’s where Metastone Property Solutions is different.
We’re not agents, we’re professional local South Dakota home buyers. Our home-buying company buys houses, we do not list them. Since we’re the one buying the house from you, and we pay cash, we can get money in your hands within a couple of days. Sometimes, we can even get you money the same day.
Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy a house with our own money, invest in home repairs, then market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in the current market).

Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us about your property, we’ll take a look at the details. We might set up a call to learn a little more, then make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us.
