How does the process work?
Once you contact us we set up a home assessment - either in person or virtually. We then give you a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept our offer, we agree upon closing date that works for you. We specialize in quick closings. The traditional process of selling a home is slow and stressful. Our buying home process is quick and easy. We believe that selling your home should be a positive experience.
How do you determine a price?
As private home buyers, we know that what you want to know from us is the bottom line price. We look at current real estate market values and do an internal estimate of how much the needed renovations and repairs will cost. We also look at comparable homes that have sold in the area, and what we can get out of it once any home renovations or repair are completed.
What is a Private Home Buyer?
A Private Buyer is not a real estate agent, but rather someone looking to buy the home for themselves - either to renovate and sell, or hold as a rental property. We are private home buyers and you are dealing directly with us! Because there is no real estate agent, there are no commissions. We are able to purchase homes with cash, which allows for a quick closing period if needed. Private home buyers make the process easy, need only one walkthrough, and can make a fair offer right away.
Is this a scam?
We are an accredited and legitimate business, and we love working with people in the community. We are one of the many options available to you when looking to sell your house, and we are on a mission to educate sellers about their options.

A cash home buyer, like us, has the ability to help sellers and homeowners out of difficult situations. Whether it be selling because of a divorce, inheritance, job loss or relocation, or financial difficulties. Selling to a cash home buyer saves time, hassle and money, as well as protecting privacy.

Do you bring a bag of cash on closing?
We are private cash house buyers. But that doesn’t mean we bring a physical bag of cash when we buy your house. We say we “pay cash” because we do not use ‘typical’ financing methods. This is how we are able to buy houses at a rapid pace. We bring private capital to purchase homes, which allows us to offer quick closings with a FIRM and FAIR offer. Not to mention GUARANTEED closing. This is why homes for sale by owner like working with us.
How does a virtual assessment work?
In today’s world, a lot of people prefer to not have in-person home assessments. We can do a video call with you where you walk us through your home while we ask you some questions, and get some important details about your home. Or you can pre-record a video and upload it to us along with a few pictures and measurements. Contact us for more details about selling your home privately.
