WE BUY HOUSES
Please contact the team if you would like to sell your home. We typically submit an offer within hours or days and usually close cash within 3 business days of an accepted offer. We are not "bottom feeders" and we pride ourselves on making thoughtful offers. Our team is open-book and is happy to share data used to formulate our offer amount. We are great buyers of properties that need renovation work. If your house is in great condition and is move-in-ready, then you will likely achieve a higher price by selling to someone else.

TOP DOLLAR OFFERS
Our ability to offer top dollar comes from our large-scale operations and unmatched efficiency.
Why We Can Pay More for Homes:
In-House Storage
We eliminate issues with lead times and material shortages by stocking key items in house, also allowing workers to often bypass retail stores and maintain efficiency.
Bulk Purchasing Power
We secure significant discounts on materials by buying in bulk.
Efficient Labor
We use full-time contract labor and strategically bundle nearby projects to minimize “unproductive time”.
Streamlined Project Management
Cosmetic design and construction admin is handled in-house to cut costs.
Commission Savings
As a full-service brokerage, we eliminate seller-side commissions when we sell. (Also, there are no commissions paid when we purchase properties direct from sellers.)
In-House Property Management
We self-manage properties that are kept as rentals, which maximizes income and efficiency.
Lower Closing Costs
Our bulk-negotiated title company rates means we NEVER ask sellers for any closing cost credits.
Cash Transactions
We only close with cash (no debt) which eliminates costly interest expense.
Lean Operation
We take a no-nonsense approach to waste reduction and overhead minimization.
Our business model is built on high volume, not high margins. By operating efficiently and keeping costs low, we can offer sellers top dollar while still running a profitable business.
We focus on scale—not squeezing every last dollar—so that both we and those who sell to us win.
