Spoiler: it's not complicated
How this works.
- 1
You tell me about your house
A quick form or a phone call. Messy details welcome — that's kind of the point.
- 2
I take a look
I'll ask some questions and, if it makes sense, come see it in person. You don't need to clean. Really.
- 3
We compare your options
Whether I want to buy it, whether an investor might, or whether listing it is your better bet.

You decide
Take your time. Ask questions. Say no. It's your house and your call.
The three paths, side by side
Every option has different fees, timelines, and services. Here's the general idea — the specifics depend on your house and I'll spell them out before you commit to anything.
I buy it directly
- Fees
- Typically no agent commission
- Timeline
- Often the fastest
- What you get
- As-is, minimal hassle
Offer usually reflects repairs and my risk.
Sell to an investor
- Fees
- Depends on the arrangement
- Timeline
- Usually fairly quick
- What you get
- I help connect and coordinate
Terms vary by buyer.
Traditional listing
- Fees
- Negotiated commissions and customary closing costs
- Timeline
- Depends on preparation, market, and buyer
- What you get
- Marketing, showings, negotiation
The market may support a higher price; net proceeds depend on costs and the final sale.
General information only. Actual fees, timelines, and terms vary by property and agreement.
When I buy directly, I am the potential buyer and may have an ownership interest. Connecting you with an investor is a different arrangement, with any compensation explained in advance. A traditional listing involves a separate written brokerage agreement. My role and any required disclosures should be clear before you proceed.
Selling direct might make sense if…
You'd rather skip the song and dance.
- • The leaky thing or the creaky thing isn't a project you want to take on.
- • Strangers touring your closets on a Saturday sounds terrible.
- • You inherited a house and don't know where to start.
- • You want to discuss a timeline that works for you.
Convenience has trade-offs. A direct offer can be lower than a listing sale price, and no purchase or closing date is guaranteed.
Your house. Your call.
So... should we talk about your house?
Worst case, we have a conversation. Best case, we figure something out.
