We’ll schedule a time with you to come look at the property

Because we aim for win-win scenarios where you’re able to accomplish your goals and we are able to make money as a business, not every house or situation is good match for us. If it doesn’t meet our buying criteria, we’ll help in ways that we can – even if that means referring to some people who can help.

If it meets our buying criteria, we’ll present you with a fair written, 100% no obligation offer

There is absolutely no pressure to accept our offer! you can either accept it or reject it. We use the Residential Purchase Contract similar to what can be found here if you’re curious. If you do accept our offer then we’ll proceed to step 4 ->

We close at a local reputable title company

A local reputable title company handles the transaction for us. We can typically close in as little as 7 days, however, this is usually too fast for most home sellers.

How does this compare to a normal real estate transaction?

Many people don’t realize that after you have a signed purchase agreement that there is very little difference between typical real estate transaction with an agent and selling your house off-market to an investor like ourselves. We use the same title companies as agents, and we use the same purchase contracts as well for the most part.

In fact, selling to us is like listing your home with an agent on the Columbus Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and getting an all cash offer without have to make any repairs – EXCEPT you don’t have to deal with any of the headaches normally associated with selling your house like prep work, showing open houses, multiple rounds of negotiations, house back on the market, etc.

Here’s a visual comparison below to show the similarities and differences between selling off-market and traditionally with an agent.

So why would anyone ever choose to go the traditional route with a real estate agent?

Simple and full transparency: You’ll probably make more money if you sell with an agent on the market. When purchasing properties, we provide fair offers that balance your needs with our business requirements. As investors, we need to account for renovation costs, holding expenses, and a reasonable profit margin on either rental income or resale value.

Our clients choose us because they prioritize:

  • Quick, guaranteed closings
  • No repair costs or inspection headaches
  • Zero closing costs or agent commissions
  • A straightforward, stress-free process

Think of it like trading in your car at a dealership versus selling it privately. The dealership offers slightly less than market value, but eliminates the hassles of listing it yourself, meeting strangers, handling negotiations, and dealing with potential scams.

Our clients value convenience, certainty, and simplicity over maximizing sale price. We provide a reliable solution that lets them move forward without the typical delays and complications of traditional real estate transactions. That being said, if a house needs work or is in a difficult situation where it might not be able to be shown well, then that higher amount you could get by selling with an agent might not be worth it or it might even be less than if you were to just sell it off-market. Here’s a little bit more information on how we come up with offers on our FAQ page.
