How to Find a Cash Homebuyer Company You Can Trust

A handshake between two people.

The last decade has seen a groundswell in the number of cash homebuyer companies. Considering the disreputable companies and shady practices that go on, we can’t blame you if you’re leery about how things work.

There are companies out there that will gladly take advantage of homeowners who are in difficult positions, so it’s paramount that you avoid falling into a “we buy houses” scam. To find a cash homebuyer company you know you can trust, you’ll have to do your homework.

Any legitimate cash homebuying business should have the following.

Customer Reviews of Cash Homebuyer Companies 

If you’re looking at working with a cash homebuyer, but you can’t find any online reviews or testimonials from previous clients, that’s a huge red flag. Any company that has actually helped clients sell their homes quickly for cash will have people willing to attest to that, right?

As with any business, you may find a few negative reviews (whether they’re actually warranted or not), but you should also be wary of any company where the majority of reviews are negative. A disappointed customer here and there is one thing, but if everyone is saying the same thing, listen to them!

BBB Accreditation

There are a lot of ways for scammers to make their outfits look like real businesses. They can build a professional-level website and deploy slick salespeople. But if they’re on the up and up, they should be able to prove it. Verification from a trusted third-party entity is a great way to do that.

The Better Business Bureau is a well-known resource that helps consumers verify the legitimacy of a business before deciding to work with them. While it’s not required that businesses seek accreditation with the BBB, doing so ensures they’ve been evaluated and operate honestly and fairly, including making a good faith effort to resolve any and all customer complaints.
