Example numbers for a 3-bed house that needs work. Every offer comes with its own sheet.
Most cash buyers won't show you the math. We will.
A cash offer is always lower than retail, because someone has to pay for the repairs. The question is whether the repair number is real. Ours comes from a builder who prices roofs, HVAC, plumbing and electrical every week, so you aren't paying for a guess padded "just in case."

Birmingham House Buyers

- You get the offer worksheet in writing
- No fees, no commissions, we pay closing
- Close at a local title company on your date
We buy Birmingham houses other buyers walk away from.
The family house nobody can keep up.
Out-of-town heirs, a full house of furniture, years of deferred maintenance. Leave what you don't want. We handle it.
More on this →Roof, foundation, HVAC, wiring.
Leaks, settling, a dead system, old knob-and-tube. That's our trade. We price it accurately instead of fearfully.
More on this →Empty and costing you money.
Taxes, insurance, break-ins, overgrown yard. Stop paying to own a house you don't live in.
More on this →City letters and condemnation.
Open violations or a condemnation notice. We buy with the issues and deal with the city ourselves.
More on this →Tired of being a landlord.
Problem tenants, late rent, a rental that needs too much. We buy occupied houses too.
More on this →Back taxes or behind on payments.
A fast, clean sale can pay off what's owed before it gets worse. We'll tell you plainly whether it works.
More on this →One walkthrough. One written offer.

Get the offer. Pick the date.
You get a written cash offer with the worksheet behind it. Say yes and close at a local title company when it suits you. Say no and keep the sheet.
The person who makes the offer does the work.
I'm a general contractor and a licensed Alabama home builder. My crews do renovations, roofing, HVAC and electrical across the Birmingham area, and I buy houses that need that work. When I give you a repair number, it's the number I'd bid the job at.
I don't flip your contract to another investor, and I won't give you a high number on the phone and cut it at the walkthrough. If your house would sell for more with an agent, I'll tell you that too.
"I'll show you what the house is worth fixed, what it costs to fix, and what's left. Then you decide."
We buy houses in Birmingham and the surrounding area.

Asked and answered.
Do I have to fix or clean anything?
No. Sell it as-is. Leave the furniture, the junk in the basement and whatever's in the yard. We take care of it after closing.
Are there fees or commissions?
None. No commission, no fees, and we pay the closing costs. The offer on the sheet is what you walk away with, minus anything you owe on the house, like a mortgage or back taxes.
How do you come up with the offer?
We estimate what the house sells for once it's fixed, based on recent sales nearby. Then we subtract the repair cost, closing and holding costs, and our margin. You see every line on the worksheet.
How fast can you close?
You pick the date. We close at a local title company, and the timing mostly depends on the title work. If you need more time to move, take it.
Will the price change after the walkthrough?
We don't make offers sight unseen, so the walkthrough is where the price is set. After that, the written offer is the offer.
Do you buy houses with tenants, liens or code violations?
Yes. Occupied houses, back taxes, open city violations and condemnation notices are all things we work through. Tell us up front and we'll factor it in.
Is there any obligation?
None. You can say no, keep the worksheet, and use it however you like.
Start with the address.
Send the form and we'll call you the same business day to set a walkthrough. Rather talk now?
