Q: Who are you?
My name is Jason and I am the owner of JTM Real Estate LLC. Check out our Our Company page for more detailed information about us.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question! We’re not real estate agents, and we don’t list houses. At JTM Real Estate LLC, we’re professional cash home buyers. We purchase houses in Bowling Green that meet our buying criteria, and since we don’t rely on bank financing, you never have to worry about delays or our ability to close.
Once we buy a house, we may renovate it and sell it to a new homeowner, or sometimes we keep it as a rental property. Our goal is to make the process simple and hassle-free for you.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list houses and hope to find a buyer. They show properties to potential buyers (if there are any) and typically take 3-6% of the sale price as their commission. For example, on a $100,000 house, you could pay $3,000 to $6,000 in agent fees. Plus, the average time to sell a house in many markets is 4-6 months.
Agents are a great option if you have the time to wait and don’t mind paying a commission. However, that’s not what we do. We’re not agents—we’re home buyers.
When you sell to us, we buy your house directly, pay all cash, and can make a decision within a few days—or even the same day. You won’t have to worry about showings, waiting months for a sale, or paying extra fees.
We take on the risk, using our own cash to buy the house, handle repairs, and find a buyer ourselves. This means less hassle for you and a much faster closing process.

Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Many of the houses we buy are below market value. This allows us to resell them at a profit to another homeowner. We aim to find a fair discount on a property.
Most sellers we work with aren’t necessarily looking for a big “windfall.” Instead, they value the convenience we offer—cash payments, quick closings (no waiting on financing), and no need for repairs or agent fees.
If selling your house fast with minimal effort sounds like a good fit, let’s see if we can agree on a win-win price. Plus, our no-obligation offer means you’re not locked into anything. It’s always worth knowing what we can offer!
Q: Do I need to clean out my house before you buy it?
No need to stress about a thing! You don’t have to clean, sweep, or worry about removing unwanted furniture, broken appliances, or that mess that’s been sitting in the corner for months. We’ll take care of it all for you. Our goal is to make selling your home as easy and hassle-free as possible!

Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
Great question, and we’re happy to explain! Our process is simple and transparent.
Here’s what we consider when making an offer:
- The location of your property.
- The repairs or updates it might need.
- The current condition of the house.
- The recent sale prices of comparable homes in your area.
By factoring in all this information, we come up with a fair price that works for both you and us. We’re committed to making the process as straightforward as possible!
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
What sets us apart from the traditional way of selling your house is that there are no fees or commissions when you sell directly to us. Unlike listing with an agent—where up to 6% of the sale price comes out of your pocket—we don’t charge you anything.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit, we’ll buy your house without any hassles or extra costs. In most cases, we even cover the closing costs!
We make our money after we buy the house, pay for any repairs, and sell it for a profit. The risk is all on us. Once you sell to us, you’re free from the burden of the property, its payments, and any further obligations—and you walk away with cash in hand.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
There’s absolutely no obligation on your part. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll review the details, maybe schedule a call to learn more, and then present you with a fair all-cash offer.
From there, it’s completely up to you whether or not you want to move forward with selling your house to us. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision, so we’ll give you the space to decide what works best for you.
