"After dealing with a difficult tenant situation, we thought we'd be stuck with repairs for months. Tru Deal bought our house as-is and closed in 9 days. They were professional and caring through the whole process."

The house is costing you money every month you own it.
Repairs, taxes, insurance, utilities, and the mental tax of owning a place you don't want to own.
You wait because you're not sure who's honest or what your real options are. That's fair. Most sellers we meet started there.
Your Options Report shows you:
What you'd net if you listed with an agent, after repairs and commissions
What you'd net if you sold to us as-is, with no repairs and no fees
What you'd net if you rented it out for a year first
What each path looks like on a calendar, week by week
Which path we'd pick if the house were ours
You don't have to decide anything today.
Read the report. Ask us anything. If none of the paths fit, we'll say so and step aside.

- Repairs, cleaning, or staging
- Inspections or appraisals
You receive:
- 100% of the agreed purchase price
- Minus any existing mortgages or liens
How do we calculate a cash offer?
Our offers are based on a straightforward formula:
After-Repair Value
− Estimated repair costs
− Our margin (covers holding, selling costs)
= Your Cash Offer
We use recent comparable sales in your area and get repair estimates from licensed contractors. We'll show you the numbers—nothing is hidden.
What makes an offer fair?
A fair offer considers what you'd actually net after a traditional sale:
No 6% commission — keep $18,000+ on a $300k home
No repair costs — save $15,000-$50,000+
No holding costs — mortgage, taxes, insurance while waiting
No uncertainty — cash offer, no financing fall-through

"I was 3 months behind on payments and the bank was threatening foreclosure. Tru Deal closed in 8 days and paid off my mortgage. I walked away with $12,000 cash instead of a foreclosure on my credit. They saved my financial life."

"I inherited my mom's house with $40,000 in needed repairs. Every agent said I had to fix it first. Tru Deal bought it as-is for a fair price and closed in 2 weeks. Saved me months of headaches and contractor nightmares."
