HomeVestors vs Online Buyers
Know the difference.
Can you trust sight unseen offers?
Recently, several online home buyers have emerged that make attractive initial offers without even seeing your house. Not many homeowners realize upfront that the initial price offered usually isn’t the final purchase price. Hidden fees are not uncommon either. How is that fair (or convenient) to you?
When we buy a house, it always starts with a personal visit. After a quick consultation, we can make you a fair, no-obligation offer on the spot. You can trust our firm offer will not change before closing. And, we’ll be there to walk you through every step of the sale.

HomeVestors always sees your house before making an offer.
Let’s be honest: Would you make an offer on a house without seeing it? Online buyers do.
Online buyers use computer algorithms to make unsolicited, “sight-unseen” offers. If you are interested, they eventually look at your house in person. During their inspection, the offer often comes down. It’s not unusual to be asked to make allowances for clean up and repair. Then, at closing, you may be surprised with hidden fees and closing costs that had not been mentioned before.
You won’t encounter these types of issues with HomeVestors. We always visit your house in person first. Then we can make a fair and firm offer that we stand by. Because we buy “as is,” you’re never asked to pay for clean up or repair. There are no hidden fees, and we cover most typical closing costs.
Online buyers may seem like the easy option at first, but you can’t count on their offer being firm. HomeVestors is America’s #1 home buyer because we’ve purchased over 100,000 houses since 1996 the same way…in person with no surprises. When you want a fast, firm, all cash offer you can count on, call HomeVestors.
