What we do
We buy houses directly from owners, as the buyer. No agent sits between us. You get a written number, and we explain the math behind it. You choose the closing date. The sale closes through a title company. You do not have to repair, clean or show the house.
The person who calls you back is the person who decides the number. You do not get passed up a chain.
How we make our money
Plainly: we buy below what the house could bring if someone fixed it up and sold it. That gap pays for the repairs, the cost of holding the house, and our profit. It is not a secret and it is not a trick. It is the price of a sale with no repairs, no showings and no waiting on a stranger's loan.
That also means our number will usually be lower than a fixed-up, listed sale. If someone promises a big price and no work, ask them where the difference goes.
What we are not
We are the buyer you deal with, so our interest is not neutral. We are not a law firm, an inspector, an insurance adjuster or a government office. Nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. Read the full disclaimer for the exact wording.
What you pay us
A sale to us has no agent commission and no listing fee. Closing costs can still exist, and the title company will show you what they are. We do not say "no fees" or "no costs," because that would not be true.
When selling to us is the wrong move
- The house is in decent shape, you can wait, and you want every dollar you can get. An agent and an open market may beat us.
- An insurance claim could pay you a bigger sum than a sale price would. Talk to your adjuster before you sign anything. The fire damage guide explains why.
- You are not sure you want to sell yet. Asking commits you to nothing, so ask, then take your time.
- Your numbers say fixing it nets you more. The worksheet will show you.
We would rather say that on the first call than sell you on something that costs you money.
