We do everything we can to get an offer to you quickly. At the same time, we want that offer to reflect your property's actual condition and your unique situation. That's why we usually wait until we've had the chance to meet with you and see the house in person before making one. And trust us—it's better this way! It lets us give you a confident offer grounded in reality rather than guesswork.
Here's how our process typically works. First, we'll have a phone conversation to make sure we're a good fit for each other. Next, we'll schedule an appointment to meet at the house whenever it's convenient for you. From there, we'll put your offer together—usually within hours of our visit, or by the following day at the latest.

Because we're not buying your house to live in ourselves, we can move on your timeline instead of ours. Need a few months to settle into your new place? No problem—we'll work around it. And if you're on the opposite end and need to close in a hurry, you've come to the right place. When the situation calls for it, we're able to close in as little as 7–10 days.

This is one of the biggest advantages of working with us: we'll never ask you to make repairs when you sell your house to us. Compare that to a traditional buyer who nitpicks every detail of your home and hands you a long list of fixes to complete.
Depending on the age and condition of the home, we may bring in a home inspector as part of our due diligence. But that's purely for our own reference—so we know what we'll need to repair after the purchase. You can rest assured that you won't have to make a single repair when you work with us.

Absolutely nothing! Instead of having to pander to prospective buyers, you get to relax and wait for closing day. If you’re living in the property, you will need to coordinate moving your belongings, but we can even help you with that if you’d like!
On top of that, we will handle all the paperwork and coordination to get to the closing table. We have a great team, including a fantastic title company, that will make the sales process extremely smooth for you. When we say we’re a full-service real estate company, we mean it!

That depends on the location, condition, and size of the house, as well as the specific deal we structure with you. But here are some of the most common ways we put the properties we buy to use:
Renovating them to sell
Renovating them to rent out
Helping people who can't qualify for a traditional loan—such as business owners—become homeowners
Short-term rentals

The main benefits of a cash offer on your house are convenience and simplicity. Transactions get far more complicated when a lender is involved, since lenders often have special requirements that have to be met. On top of that, they typically won't approve a loan on a property that needs significant repairs. A cash offer removes all of those hurdles and gets you what you need—money in your pocket—in the shortest time possible.
So what exactly is a cash offer? Simply put, it's an offer with no financing contingency. Nearly every traditional offer that involves a lender includes a contingency tied to the buyer's ability to secure financing. If they can't qualify, they're free to walk away from the deal and take their earnest money with them. This happens fairly often with traditional buyers—but it's just one more thing you won't have to worry about when you work with a cash buyer.

We know that if we don't make realistic offers, we'll never be able to buy houses in the first place. That's why we do everything we can to put together an offer that genuinely works for you. We work hard to keep renovation costs down and our rehab budget lean, so we can pass some of those savings along to you.
At the end of the day, our offers come down to two things: the finished value of the property and what it will cost to renovate it. If you'd like, we're happy to walk you through exactly how we arrive at your number. And remember—there's no obligation to accept! Even if we turn out not to be your buyer, we'll share as much as we can to help you understand your options and choose the best path for your situation.

We charge zero fees! When we make an offer on your property, the price you see is the price you'll get at closing—no surprises, no deductions. Compare that to selling on the open market. To start, agent commissions typically run about 6% of the sale price. On top of that, closing costs can add up to several thousand dollars if the buyer asks you to cover them. And finally, traditional buyers often order inspections and come back with a list of repairs that can cost you thousands more.
With us, you won't have to worry about any of that. We don't charge agent fees, we cover your closing costs, and we'll never ask you to fix a thing. Those savings alone can add up to tens of thousands of dollars!

We understand this may be one of the biggest questions on your mind. Several factors go into every offer we make on a house. The most important ones are the location, size, condition, and finishes of the property, along with what comparable homes nearby have recently sold for and what we plan to do with the property ourselves.
We weigh all of these factors carefully to arrive at an offer that works for you. We also take your near-term plans into account and do our best to structure the offer in a way that helps you meet them!

Real estate agents specialize in listing properties on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). We work differently—we'll actually be the ones buying your house! When you work with us, you won't have to wonder whether an offer will come in, because we'll personally hand you one. And you won't have to guess who's buying your home either, because we're your buyers!
While people often confuse agents and investors since both work in real estate, their roles are quite different. If you're comfortable getting your property listing-ready, accommodating multiple showings, and navigating the full traditional sales process to find the highest offer out there, then listing with an agent might be the right choice for you. But if you'd rather skip the hassle and receive a fair offer for your home right away, we can make that happen!
