Unlike a real estate agent, I don't charge a commission. I buy houses anywhere and I'm not limited to one area. I have the ability to move fast and get sales done.

3. How long does it typically take to sell a home?

When you sell your home to me, I am able to move faster than a typical home buyer or agent. In some cases, I can close a sale in 7 days, although 14-30 days is more common.

4. What are 'closing costs'?

In a regular real estate sale, closing costs are the fees associated with the sale, such as agent commissions, title company costs, inspections, and others. Typically these costs are shared by the buyer and seller. The largest fees are the realtor commissions, which can be 3% for each agent (or more!). I don't charge any commission to sellers, and my buyers cover all closing costs.

I help you throughout the entire process. Some investors are finished after the initial inspection, but I work with you until the keys change hands and closing is finished. I’m truly dedicated to helping homeowners in hard situations find solutions. If I can save someone from foreclosure (or bankruptcy AND foreclosure!) I’ll do that.

Speed, costs, and no need to fix up your house first. I can move quickly. Once we’re under contract, we can typically close within 7 to 21 days. (Most sellers prefer 30 days, and we’re happy to move on your schedule.) We buy any house, in any condition. You don’t need to fix it first.
And if you need to move quickly, you don’t have time to wait while realtors schedule tours, nitpick minor details with buyers, or “market” your home. And at the end of all that, you then have to pay an agent commission. I don’t charge you anything.

Given at least a week, we can usually delay or stop the auction, which gives us time to close and you’re able to move on.

First, I’ll give you tips on how to avoid foreclosure, even if that means you don’t end up selling. If you want to get ahead of the problem - maybe you know you must sell - we can make a fast offer and get you on your way.

Yes. I or my partner will order a home inspection. We’re not deterred by problem houses, but we do like to know what we’re walking into.

Perhaps you’ve heard of rent-to-own or lease-to-own, well, owner financing is similar, yet different. If you want to sell or earn income from your house (you own it free and clear), this is for you. With owner financing you are more like a landlord without the responsibilities of a landlord. Read the full page on owner financing for in-depth detail.

Absolutely! We love commercial properties. We love multi-family (5+ units), apartment buildings, motels/hotels, warehouses, retail, and land (5+ acres), all of that! (Multi-family 4 units and less is considered residential.)

14. What documents do I need?

I do need a bit of information, and I can work with estimates. However, any documents you have pertaining to your mortgage, a foreclosure -if applicable, or liens would help me as I prepare my offer. If the house is a rental, I’d like to see the rental breakdown, including carrying costs and utilities. If the property is a commercial property, I’d need to see all financials related to the property (rents, costs, etc).

I can give a soft offer within 24 hours. The sooner I can come for a walkthrough, the sooner I can present a firm offer. I can do virtual walkthroughs, but I'd prefer to see the property in person. This is especially true for commercial real estate.
