Four steps, and you can stop after any one of them.
There's no pitch and no pressure. The first three steps exist to give you information. What the property is worth, and what each path would leave you with.
Consultation
A free 20-minute call about the property, your timeline, and what you're hoping for. No pitch, and nothing you have to decide on the call.
- The property address
- A rough sense of your timeline
- Anything you already know about the mortgage, liens, or condition
20 minutes, at a time you choose. Usually within a few days of reaching out.
Property review
We walk the house, or work from photos and your description if you'd rather not meet there, and price the work it needs honestly rather than optimistically.
- Access to the property, or photos and a description
- Ten minutes on the phone afterward
- Any inspection, contractor, or appraisal paperwork you already have
Usually within 2–3 business days of the consultation.
The 48-Hour Options Report and offer
Every path open to you, with real numbers for this property and a written offer if a direct sale makes sense.
- Nothing further — this part is ours
- A few minutes to read it, and to ask whatever it raises
Within 48 hours of the property review.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date, sign at a title company, and get paid. Nothing has to be repaired, painted, or cleared out first.
- Photo ID and a handful of signatures
- A title company, or we'll introduce ours
- Whatever you want out of the house — the rest can stay
A direct sale can often close in 2–3 weeks once title is clear, or on a later date you choose, up to about 60 days out.
A sample 48-Hour Options Report.
Every consultation ends with a report like this one: every path priced for your property, including the ones that don't involve us.
Northeast DC rowhouse, 4 bed, needs work
Behind on payments, roughly four months of arrears, and a roof that needs replacing before the house could be listed. Two paths were closed off by the timeline; three are open. All three are priced below.
Sell to Brightline for cash, as-is. No repairs, no cleanout, closing on a date you choose.
No commissions or fees on our side.
Full market exposure, after light repairs and roughly 60–90 days on market.
After repairs, commissions, and holding costs.
Stay in the property and resolve the arrears or the repair over time, by repair or loan workout.
You keep the home. About $465,000 of equity retained.
Option B: list with an agent. On these numbers, listing nets you about $26,000 more than selling to us, so that's what we'd tell you to do. If you'd rather not manage repairs or showings, Option A is still open, and we'll say so either way.
Five things that hold true from the first call.
All five hold on every engagement, whether or not you ever sell to us.
- No pressure and no obligation.
- No fees or commissions when we buy.
- Plain-English paperwork, reviewed with you line by line.
- We'll tell you if another path is better for you.
- Your information is never sold.
