Q: Do you buy houses directly or list them like an agent?

A: We buy your house directly for cash — we are not agents and we do not list properties.
That means:

  • No MLS listing
  • No commissions
  • No open houses
  • No waiting for financing

If you’re trying to sell your house fast in Ohio, this is the quickest and most reliable way.


Q: Do you really pay fair prices for homes?

A: Yes — we make honest, competitive cash offers based on the local market and your home’s condition.

While we typically buy below retail value, most sellers net more after factoring in:

  • Realtor commissions
  • Closing costs
  • Repairs
  • Utilities, taxes, and insurance while waiting
  • Buyer financing failures

Our goal is to make a deal that works for you and makes financial sense.
