When repairs come close to the home's value, a quick estimate can't show a useful number. Share the details below and Marcus will give you a real one.
A quick estimate, not an appraisal or offer. Repair amounts are typical Columbus figures; your written offer is based on the actual property.

A simple, honest process
Three steps. No surprises.
From the first conversation to closing day, you stay in control.
Get a written offer
We visit, ask a few questions, and explain a no-obligation offer in plain language.
Pick your closing date
Choose a date that works for you. If you need more time, we can talk about that too.
Life does not always follow a plan
There is more than one reason to sell as-is.
We are not here to judge the house or the circumstances. We are here to help you understand one option.
Talk through your optionsInherited a house
You have enough to manage already. We can help you sell the property as-is and make the next step simpler.
Behind on payments
A direct sale may give you a clear timeline and another option to consider. We will talk through the numbers without pressure.
Tired landlord
Ready to be done with late-night calls, turnover, or a property that needs more work than it is worth to you?
Relocating
When a move is already on the calendar, a flexible closing date can matter as much as the offer itself.
Major repairs
Roof, plumbing, or a long list of deferred maintenance? You do not need to fix it up before we take a look.
Going through a divorce
A straightforward sale can help both parties move forward. We will keep the conversation respectful and clear.
Two different ways to sell
Choose what works for you.
A direct sale trades some potential upside for convenience, certainty, and fewer moving parts. Here is a fair side-by-side.
| What matters | Sell to Redbrick | List with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 0%No agent commission | About 6%Varies by agreement |
| Repairs | NoneSell the house as-is | Often $10,000+Depends on the home |
| Closing | 14 to 30 daysOn a date you choose | 60 to 90 daysMarket time plus closing |
| Showings | One visitFor our walkthrough | ManyPrepare for each visit |
Typical listing costs and timeframes vary by property and market. Agent commissions are negotiable. Direct-sale proceeds may be lower than a successful open-market sale.

Good questions deserve clear answers
Before you decide, ask away.
No pressure, no awkward sales pitch. Just the details you need to make a good decision.
Ask Marcus a questionHow do you calculate a cash offer?
We look at recent sales nearby, the home’s condition, the cost of repairs, and what it may take to resell it. We explain the numbers behind our offer so you can decide whether it works for you.
Are there fees or commissions?
No agent commission, and no fee to ask for an offer. We cover standard closing costs on the direct purchase. If anything unusual comes up, we discuss it before you decide.
What does assigning a contract mean?
We agree on a purchase price with you, then assign our right to buy the property to a local investor in our network. The investor closes on the agreed terms. You know the price and timing before signing.
Do I have to accept the offer?
Not at all. The offer is yours to review. There is no obligation to sell to us, and we are happy to answer questions even if you choose another path.
