The Number of Scams in the “We Buy Houses” Industry Tends to Be Exaggerated
For one of these companies to be a part of a scam operation, it would mean that something illegal has taken place when a homeowner has sold their house. However, when a lot of people refer to our industry as a “scam,” what the person using that term typically means is that they were ultimately unhappy with the amount they were paid for their house.
If the homeowner was paid the cash amount offered by the “we buy houses” company, then no scam occurred even if the owner wishes that they had been paid more.

Buying a House for Cash Seems “Too Good to Be True”
We hear this one all the time. Potential customers believe our industry must be a scam because the ease of avoiding the legalities, time, home inspections, and closing fees involved with selling your home through a traditional realtor seems like it must be too simple and too easy.
Yet, just because our industry makes things simple doesn’t mean we’re a scam! It just means we’re investors who’d love to pay you cash upfront for your home.
