Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Beycome account?

Yes. When you click Make an offer, you’ll be asked to log in or create an account before you start.

What should I have ready?

  • Your offer amount and escrow deposit.
  • If you’re financing: your financing type, the amount you’re financing, and your pre-approval letter.
  • If you’re paying cash: proof of funds.
  • Your dates: how long the seller has to accept, the inspection period, and your closing date.

Documents can be PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG or PNG files, up to 20 MB.

How long does it take?

A few minutes. The page shows how far along you are and how many minutes are left as you go.

I’m not pre-approved yet. Can I still make an offer?

A financed offer needs a mortgage pre-approval letter. It shows the seller you’re a serious, qualified buyer. You can get pre-approved online with Beycome Mortgage, or make an all-cash offer with proof of funds instead.

Can two of us make the offer together?

Yes. In the first step, choose Two buyers and add your co-buyer’s name and email.

Will someone check my offer?

Yes. Our team checks your offer before it goes to the seller, and we represent you from there.

Is the offer I build online a binding contract?

No. The step-by-step option creates a Letter of Intent to Purchase from your answers and applies your electronic signature when you click Submit offer. A Letter of Intent is non-binding. If you already have a completed offer document, choose Upload an offer in the first step instead.

What happens after I submit?

You’ll see Offer sent. We check your offer, submit it to the seller, and represent you through the process. Continue to your dashboard to see your offer’s status.

Does it cost anything to make an offer?

No. Making an offer on Beycome is free.

How do I get up to 2% back?

Look for the green Credit back tag on a listing. It shows the estimated amount you could get back at closing when you buy that home with Beycome.

The seller typically pays a buyer-agent commission. On a 3% commission, Beycome keeps 1% and credits the other 2% back to you at closing: up to $9,000 on a $450,000 home. You can put the credit toward your closing costs, your down payment, or an interest rate buy-down, up to the maximum your lender allows.

Why doesn’t every home show a Credit back tag?

The credit comes out of the buyer-agent commission, so it doesn’t apply to For Sale By Owner homes, including homes their owners list on Beycome. You can still make an offer on those homes the same way.

Are there conditions on the credit?

Yes. The credit requires a minimum commission of $1,499 and your lender’s approval, and some restrictions may apply for VA and FHA loans. The final credit depends on the deal terms and the commission offered.

What if the home I want isn’t on Beycome?

You can still make your offer with us. See How to make an offer on a home that isn’t on Beycome.

Who can I ask for help?

Support runs 7 days a week: Artur, our AI assistant, answers 24/7 on beycome.com, and our team is available Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6:30pm ET, and Saturday, 9am to 5pm ET, at (804) 656-5007 or contact@beycome.com.

How much can you save selling and buying with Beycome?

If you sell a $400,000 home, you save up to $20,000 compared to a traditional way. And if you buy your next place with us, you also get 2% back at closing. Seriously.
