Our example: ~70% of after-repair value, minus estimated repairs. We walk you through every line so you know exactly why the offer is what it is. No mystery. No "take it or leave it."
Unlike most "we buy houses" companies, we're also licensed real estate agents. If listing your home on the open market would net you more money, we'll tell you — and we can list it for you, too. We run both numbers every time.
Barry Jenkins has been buying and selling real estate in Hampton Roads for years. This isn't a faceless company — it's a local team with a track record you can verify on Google, Zillow, and the Virginia DPOR license database.
"Most 'we buy houses' companies hide behind a website and a lowball offer. We do the opposite — we show you our math, we show you our face, and we show you the listing alternative so you can make the best decision for your family."
You'll get a confirmation page right away. Within 4 business hours we'll reach out — usually by text — to ask a few quick questions and schedule a brief walkthrough of the property. Within 24 hours of that walkthrough you'll have a written cash offer with the math behind it.
Yes. No contract to see the numbers. No fee if you walk away. No pressure tactics. We make money on the deals that work — not by chasing people who change their mind.
Any condition. We buy homes with foundation issues, roof damage, mold, fire damage, hoarding situations, code violations — you name it. We've bought homes that other buyers walked away from. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything.
Most investors use some version of ~70% of after-repair value minus the repair budget as a reference point. As one example: a home that would sell for $245K fully fixed up and needs $40K in work could land near $131.5K. This isn't a fixed formula we apply to every house — your actual offer depends on your home's condition, location, comparable sales, and current market. We show you every number we used to arrive at your specific offer.
As fast as 7 days if you need it. Most sellers choose 2–3 weeks because that gives them time to plan their move. We close on your timeline — if you need 60 days, that's fine too.
Cash offers are made by Friend in Realty LLC, a Hampton Roads home-buying company that Barry Jenkins owns an interest in. Barry is also a licensed Virginia real estate agent with LPT Realty — which is why we can offer both paths (cash purchase or open-market listing). Read the full disclosure here.
