Frequently Asked Questions

We buy it. We’re not agents and we don’t list houses. We buy directly with our own cash, so there’s no bank financing that can fall through. After we buy, we may renovate and resell the house or keep it as a rental.

An agent lists your house, shows it to buyers and takes a commission, usually 5–6%, when it sells. We buy the house directly, so there are no showings, no commission and no waiting on a buyer’s loan. Listing can bring a higher price if you have the time and the house is ready to sell. Selling to us trades some of that for speed, certainty and no work on your end.
