Worst experience selling my house. Josh tried to low ball me 100k less than what my house what worth, then he tried to tell me that the paint colors we have in the walls (normal Florida colors) devalue my house and that if I painted the house back to a prison gray my zestimate on Zillow would go up. Zillow does not even look at paint colors for the zestimate. We did a post occupancy and Josh said we would have the ability to negotiate extension if we needed longer to find a house. On the website it states that you can choose to move out now or up until 6 months from now but he would only allow us to live there for 40 days after closing which isn’t long if you haven’t found a house to buy yet. When we got the post occupancy purchase addendum to the purchase agreement they tried to remove the verbiage that said we can negotiate an extension and that was a big deal because they were going to hold 15k of the proceeds and if we weren’t out by that specific date we would forfeit the 15k. They had inspectors come and I didn’t hear for a few days of everything was good to go and we were good to close. Then 2 days before closing he tried to say that the septic inspection was bad and that he needed to knock down the price down 5k to put in a new septic tank to pass FHA inspection (btw FHA does not inspect septic tanks) but I was right there with the inspector and the inspector told me he was going to put down that the inspection was good. Josh told us he was going to send out another inspector the next day but he never gave me a time so my wife took off work a day of no pay so she could let the inspector in. I asked him several times when the inspection was so that she didn’t have to take off a whole day but he never responded back. The next day when the inspector was supposed to come, the inspector never showed up. I communicated that to Josh and all he replied back was a hand-to-face emoji. This was the day before we close so a bit more communication would have been nice since this was the day before closing. Plus the post occupancy addendum stated AS IS so in my mind these guys are sleazy, crooked and dishonest.

I would recommend to stay away from this company and sell the traditional way with a realtor. I would have made 40k more on my house. Biggest regret and the most stressful...

Years and years doing real estate photography I have met hundreds of agents. Experience shows you how to spot the best. That’s what Ken and his team can do for you. You want a group of professionals who are driven by a sense of excellence and professionalism and that year after year they stand to do the right thing. From houses that are renovated with the right craftsman and materials, to helping sellers reach their selling goals in all markets. They have it all. They are not a fad, they are here to stay, and you only thrive in business, when you work hard, do the right thing, you take care of your clients, your team, and your vendors all along. They know their stuff, thousands of houses sold by them gives an unparallel experience where all the possible scenarios have been tackle by them before. Also when you see a company that has a process in place, you know there is a dependable system behind that keeps everything running. I have photographed for them hundreds if not thousands of homes, and I have been a witness of what I’m telling you. Call them, they will help you and do the right...

Of all of the horror stories I heard about selling your house to an investor, working with Ken had to be the best of the best. He reviewed our house, gave us an offer the next day, and we closed the next week. The main thing I will say about Ken’s offer was that there were no fees nor contingencies. This is where most investors screw you. You get a big offer, but then there’s a transaction fee, like 3%, or closing cost, or the worst, which is contingencies, which allows them to reduce their offer at the last second. The only thing that comes out of Ken’s offer is whatever you owe the county for real estate for the portion of the year you lived in your house, and the Florida tax for selling your house, which is 0.7% (not 7%). And the closing documents are very short and simple, not 50 pages of “I can legally screw you”. ...
