See Why People Love Working with Us
I had a tenant that hadn't paid their rent in over 6 months. I found Chris and Nick and they were able to purchase the house and take over with the tenant in place and handle the entire eviction process. It was super easy and got paid quickly.
Had a property that needed a full makeover. Nick came over and gave us a really good offer and we closed in 14 days. It was super easy and they handled everything and bought it as-is.
Nick called me and was able to stop by my house the same day and walk the house. He gave me an offer the very next day that was fair and more than what other people offered. Highly recommend working with him.
