We Buy Houses

Summary

We Buy Houses is a trademarked national franchise network that matches sellers with a local investor licensee by ZIP code. In Cleveland the licensee handles assessment, offer, and close in-house. The model is similar to HomeVestors but with a less formalized franchise structure. Sellers submit property information through the central site, and the matched local investor follows up within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Cash offers typically run in the 55 to 75 percent of after-repair-value range. Close window is usually two to three weeks. The brand maintains BBB accreditation at the national level, providing some baseline accountability above unbranded local investors. In a market like Cleveland with deep local investor activity, this is best used as one quote among several to benchmark against direct local operators who may know specific neighborhoods better.
