Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are professional home buyers. We buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another home owner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
We do one of 3 things with a house: we’re going to buy it and keep it as a rental, buy it and fix it up to list it back on the MLS and sell it, or we offer it to our group of investors who do the same thing we do! We only go for option 3 when a house doesn’t meet our criteria, but that rarely happens!
This is how we stand out from the crowd: when you sell your house to us, there are ZERO fees, commissions and we usually pay closing costs as well! So whatever number we agree for is what you get to walk away with, minus any remaining balance on a mortgage or potential encumbrances on a property. You save thousands of dollars by selling to us vs. selling through a realtor.
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us — and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you.
Once we get your info, we’re usually able to make you a fair all-cash offer within 24 hours. From there, we can close as quickly as 7–10 days… or on your schedule! As soon as you fill out the form and send it our way, we will contact you back in less than 72 hours.
No. We don’t mind in which condition your house is currently in — we will buy it from you as-is. You don’t have to fix anything, and you don’t even have to clean it.
An agent lists your house and waits for a buyer — an average of 50 days until closing, plus commissions and repair requests along the way. We are the buyer. We make an offer on the house as it stands, you choose the closing date, and there are no commissions.
We’re a family owned home buying company based in Charlotte at 2924 The Plaza #5219. Travis Howard owns the business, and Michael Boyd runs acquisitions alongside Craig Brandt. We’ve been buying houses in Charlotte under the Travis Buys Homes brand since 2016.
Charlotte and the surrounding counties — Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cabarrus, Union, Rowan, Iredell, Cleveland, Catawba and Lincoln in North Carolina, plus Fort Mill, Chester and Columbia in South Carolina. If you’re not sure whether we cover your street, call 704.459.5700 and ask.
We read the details you send and get in touch — usually in less than 72 hours. We’ll ask a few questions about the property, arrange a time to see it, and then put an all-cash offer in front of you.
We look at the house itself — its condition, its size, and what comparable homes in that neighborhood have actually sold for. We’ll explain how we arrived at the number when we present it, so nothing about the offer is a mystery.
Cash is what we do. It’s what lets us skip mortgage approvals and close on your timeline rather than a lender’s.
No. Getting an offer costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. If the number doesn’t work for you, that’s the end of it.
We do. We pay all of the closing costs, so the number we agree on is the number you walk away with.
No. The offer we make is the offer we close on. If something about the property changes materially between the offer and closing, we’ll talk to you about it rather than quietly adjusting the number.
You don’t need to clear the house out. Tell us what you’d rather leave when we walk the property and we’ll factor it in.
Any condition. Houses that need a new roof, houses with fire or water damage, houses that have sat empty, houses that would never pass a mortgage inspection. Condition doesn’t disqualify a house.
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place, so you don’t have to end a tenancy or wait for anyone to move out before you can sell.
You do. We close on your timeline. If you need three weeks to find your next place, that’s the date we work to.
Tell us the deadline when you first call. If you’re facing a foreclosure sale date or a relocation, the timeline is the first thing we plan around.
Yes — it’s one of the most common reasons people call us. The earlier you get in touch, the more options stay open, so don’t wait until the sale date is on top of you.
Yes. We regularly buy inherited property, including houses going through probate and houses where several family members share the decision.
Yes. A clean cash sale on an agreed date is often simpler than co-ordinating a listing between two households.
Yes. What you tell us stays between us. We’re not putting your house on a website or circulating your details.
