  1. Step 1: Share the address

    Tell us where the house is and how to reach you. It takes about a minute.

  2. Step 2: Talk with us

    We learn about the house and, if it looks like a fit, visit at a time you choose.

  3. Step 3: Decide in your own time

    If we can make a proposal, we explain it in writing. Nothing is final until you sign a purchase agreement.

Why homeowners reach out

  • Repairs you'd rather skip

    We consider homes as they are.

  • A move

    A new job, family nearby or a change of plans.

  • Downsizing

    When the house is more than you need.

  • Planning a next chapter

    It's fine to simply learn your options.

Selling directly: the trade-off

A direct sale is simpler. It usually means a lower price than a fully repaired home could bring.

What's easier

  • No repairs, cleaning or showings.
  • One buyer, and a closing date planned with you.

What it costs you

  • A lower price than a repaired home might get on the open market, because our price covers repairs and the costs of reselling.
  • No competing buyers.

Our role

We're a prospective buyer, not your real estate agent, and we don't represent you in the sale. We buy to make a profit and may resell the home. You're welcome to get advice from an attorney or a licensed agent first. Read our investor disclosures

Common questions

All questions

Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?

No. We consider properties as they are. We'll factor the condition into any proposal and explain how, so you can decide whether that trade-off makes sense for you.

Do I have to clean out the house?

No. You can take what you want to keep and leave the rest. What stays with the property is agreed in writing before closing, so there are no surprises.

How do you decide on a price?

We look at the house's condition and estimated repair costs, recent sales of comparable homes nearby, and the costs of buying, holding and reselling. People do this work, not an automated estimate. When we make a proposal, we walk you through the main numbers behind it.

Will I pay fees or commissions?

We don't charge you anything to review your property or make a proposal. Closing costs and any other costs depend on the purchase agreement, and every cost is shown in writing before you sign.

How quickly can a sale close?

It depends on title work, the terms we agree on and what works for you. We'll give you a realistic estimate rather than promise a date.
