Where we buy
As-is, any condition, any situation — with a cash number over the phone, usually within 24 hours.
Durham is its own city with its own rules, and treating it as a Raleigh suburb is the fastest way to price a house wrong.
The housing stock runs older and more varied than most of Wake County — mill houses, 1920s and 30s bungalows, post-war ranches, and blocks where a fully renovated house sits next to one that hasn't been touched since it was built. Values can swing hard from one street to the next in a way they simply don't in Cary or Apex.
That variability is exactly why we price Durham house by house instead of by comps three streets over. If you've had an offer from someone who pulled a number off a Zestimate without knowing which side of the street you're on, that's why it felt wrong.
We buy across Durham regardless of condition — including houses with foundation issues, knob-and-tube wiring, fire damage, or forty years of deferred maintenance. Older stock means more surprises, and we'd rather price those in up front than renegotiate later.
Bungalows and mill houses with original systems and real character.
The 1950s–70s houses that make up much of the city's middle.
A large share of what we buy in Durham comes from landlords and heirs.
Send the address. We'll price it and call you back the same day.
Form or phone. Ten minutes of questions about condition and what you're trying to get done.
Recent sales on your street, not a formula. We may ask for photos — you don't have to host anyone.
In writing, with the closing date you want, and an explanation of how we got there.
A licensed North Carolina closing attorney handles the paperwork and the funds.
We buy across Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle, Durham included. If a particular property isn't a fit, we'll tell you on the first call rather than tie it up.
That's usually why people call. We price condition in up front rather than discovering it at inspection and coming back for a discount.
Often, yes. What you're trading for is no repairs, no commission, no showings, and a date you control. When listing is clearly the better move for you, we say so.
As fast as a closing attorney can clear title, or as slow as you need. The date is yours.
Where we buy
No obligation. If listing would net you more, we'll tell you that instead.
