How it works
How we actually buy your house.
Three steps. A walkthrough, an offer at your kitchen table, a close on your timeline. Here's what each step looks like.
You tell us about the house
Five minutes on the phone or a form on the site. Address, rough condition, rough timeline, what's going on. We listen. If it's a fit, we schedule a walkthrough. If it isn't, we tell you on the first call.
We walk the house
An owner drives out in person — about 45 minutes, no cleanout required. We walk what we can walk, ask about what's going on, and leave with enough to write a number. Offer in writing inside 48 hours.
You pick the close date
Seven days when you need seven. Ninety days when you need ninety. Contract is cash — no financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no repair contingency. Payoff direct to your bank; remaining equity to you at close.
Step 1 — the first call
What happens when you call.
You're on the phone with one of us inside a minute or two. No intake rep, no call center routing, no scripts. Five questions: what's the address, roughly what condition is it in, what's going on, when do you need to close, and is there anything we should know before we come out.
If it's a fit, we set up a walkthrough — usually inside the week. If it isn't a fit — outside our footprint, wrong scope, something that needs an agent — we tell you on the call, in plain English. We don't sit on your information or add you to a list.
Step 2 — the walkthrough
We walk the house.
About 45 minutes. We walk the house as it stands — no cleanout, no staging, no prep. If rooms are blocked off, we walk what we can reach and underwrite the rest.
We price repairs in real time at the walkthrough — roof, foundation, plumbing, HVAC, fire, flood, code issues. You don't schedule three estimators. You don't get a repair list emailed back. We leave with enough to write a number.
Step 3 — the close
You pick the date, we hit it.
Seven days is our floor, not our default. Ninety days is common. Six months out when an estate needs to settle is common too. Whatever works for you.
The contract is cash. No financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no repair contingency. Once we sign, we're committed. You sign at the title company (or remotely through the title company's e-sign process if you're out of state). Funds wire the same day.
If there's a mortgage, the payoff goes directly to your bank. If there's an HOA, back taxes, a municipal lien, or other claims on title, the title company handles the priority at the closing table. What's left after payoff, liens, and closing costs goes to you.
Questions about the process.
How do you calculate your offer?
Recent comps in the immediate neighborhood, current condition, estimated repairs, and a margin for the hold and resale. No secret formula. We'll show you the math on the walkthrough if you want.
How fast can you actually close?
Seven days when you need seven. Ninety days when you need ninety. Your timeline. The only hard constraint is the title work.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. The number we offer is the number you get at closing. No commission, no fee, no surprise at the table.
Who actually shows up at the house?
Sam or Pete. One of the two owners. Not a call-center rep, not a subcontractor. Same two guys on every walkthrough.
What if my house needs repairs?
We buy as-is. You don't fix anything before we look. You don't fix anything before we close. Sam ran a construction crew for 25 years — he prices repairs in real time at the walkthrough.
Is this legitimate?
