Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see the answer to your question here, reach out to us.

Do you actually buy my house, or just list it on the MLS?

I buy it. I'm not an agent and I don't list houses. I'm a direct buyer using my own cash, so there's no waiting on a bank and no showings. After I buy, I might renovate the home or keep it as a rental — either way, your part is done at closing.

How is selling to you different from using a real estate agent?

An agent lists your house and hopes it sells, which often takes 4–6 months, then takes 3–6% commission (that's $3,000–$6,000 on a $100,000 home). I buy directly, pay cash, cover closing costs, and can close in 7–10 days. You skip the fees, repairs, showings, and financing fall-throughs. (See the chart below for more info)

Do you make the offers?

Yes. I've been valuing homes in this market for 40+ years, and I'll walk you through exactly how I reached your number. The assessment is free and no-obligation — you decide what's right for you.

How do you decide what to offer on my house?

I look at your home's location, its condition, the repairs it needs, and what comparable homes have recently sold for nearby. My construction background means I estimate repairs accurately, so the offer is grounded in real numbers — not a lowball guess.

Are there any fees or commissions?

None. There are no fees or commissions when you sell to me, and I typically cover the closing costs too. The number we agree on is what you walk away with. I make my money later, after I handle any repairs and resell the home.

Is there any obligation to get an offer?

Zero. You tell me about the property, I'll take a look and maybe ask a few questions, then make a fair cash offer. From there it's entirely your call. No pressure, no follow-up hassle.

What condition does my house need to be in?

Any condition. I buy as-is — occupied, vacant, rental, or uninhabitable. Fire or water damage, hoarder situations, code violations, liens, or back taxes are all fine. Leave behind anything you don't want; cleanout is free.

How fast can you close?

Most sellers close in as little as 7 to 10 days once the title report clears. If you need more time to move or plan your next step, you pick a later date. Your timeline runs the schedule, not mine.

Do you buy rental properties with tenants still in them?

Yes. If you're a landlord who's done with problem tenants, missed rent, or repair bills, I can buy the property with the tenant in place. You don't have to handle the eviction or the turnover.

Can you help if I'm behind on payments or facing foreclosure?

Often, yes — if we act before the sheriff's sale. Depending on your situation, a fast cash sale or a creative-financing arrangement may help you avoid foreclosure. I'm not an attorney or a credit counselor, but I can lay out your options honestly. Start on the Stop Foreclosure page.

Do you buy inherited or probate homes?

Yes, and it's one of the most common situations I help with. I can often move forward even before probate closes, and I handle the cleanout so you don't have to empty the house yourself.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

Let's talk. Sometimes creative financing or terms make a sale work even when there's little or no equity. I'll be honest about whether I can help.

Cash offer or terms — what's the difference?

A cash offer is a straightforward, all-cash purchase with a fast close. "Terms" (creative financing) can sometimes net you more money over time or help with taxes. I offer both — most local buyers only do cash — and I'll explain which fits your goals.

What areas do you buy houses in?

I buy across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, with my core market in South Jersey (Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties) and the Philadelphia metro.

How do I get started?

Call or text (856) 281-1157, or fill out the short form. Tell me a little about the property and I'll get you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. See seller reviews.
