About us
We are two people from Hampton Roads, Joey and Chris. When you call, you get one of us, and one of us walks your house.
Our story
Joey got into this in 2020. A friend walked him through his first flip, and he was hooked before they had finished it. Not by the money, but by watching a tired house come back to life.
Somewhere along the way the job changed. We came for the renovations. What we mostly do now is help people out of situations they did not plan for: an inherited house two states away, a divorce, a job transfer with a hard closing date, a rental that stopped making sense, a roof quote bigger than the bank account.
We have sat at a lot of kitchen tables by now. The stress is almost never really about the money. It is about not knowing what the options are, and feeling like everyone in the room knows more than you do. So that is what we try to be useful for: a straight answer about your house, and no pressure either way.
Joey has been on active duty for more than ten years alongside running this, which is where the habit comes from: say what you are going to do, then do it.

Two people, no call center
Every call and every walkthrough is one of us.
Founder. On active duty more than ten years. Walks houses and signs every contract with the attorney himself.
Acquisitions manager. Answers calls and walks houses alongside Joey.
What you can hold us to
The price we offer is the price at closing. If we ever fail to close on the terms in our contract, you keep our earnest money deposit. How we work out an offer.
If your house is in good shape and could be listed as it sits, an agent will almost certainly get you more money than we will, and we will tell you that on the walkthrough.
Ask to see proof of funds at any point and we will send it.
Selling your house, made simple
A 37-second look at what selling to a local cash buyer is like.
Real houses, real sellers
Five sisters inherited a house that was already in foreclosure. We got all five to agree and closed on the day of the auction. It needed a roof, water-damage repairs and a full refresh.
“My sisters and I couldn't be more grateful for his patience and dedication.”

The seller was stuck in a wholesaler's contract. We got her out of it and closed so she could move. The house needed structural repairs.
“Joey and his team made selling our home simple and stress free.”
Victoria AnnRead the Google review
Another buyer had the house under contract and couldn't close. Once the seller was out of that contract, we bought it as-is. It needed a full refresh and a second bathroom.
“Of the 7 or so other companies I contacted, he was the only one that was consistent with his services and price.”
