Simplicity and convenience is our approach. That’s why there are no fees or obligations when you request an offer from us. We don’t charge commissions or fees of any kind, and you’re under no obligation to accept our offer. If you decide to sell to us, we often pay the typical closing costs. Our goal is to provide you with a stress-free selling experience.

We buy a wide variety of properties, including houses, townhomes, condos, multi-tenant properties, and even some mobile/manufactured homes on deeded land, and commercial properties. Whether your property is move-in ready or requires repairs or cosmetic updates, we are here to help. We strive to provide tailored solutions to meet your needs.

We understand the importance of transparency and fairness in every transaction. We purchase houses either at a discount or with favorable terms in exchange for convenience and relief from many of the hassles of the typical house-selling process. Our goal is to offer a streamlined and stress-free solution tailored to your needs, ensuring a positive experience throughout the process.

Several factors are considered when formulating a competitive offer. We consider these various factors:

- The current condition of your home.

- The terms of the sale.

- The scope and cost of necessary repairs for resale.

- The time required to complete the needed repairs.

- Your home’s value in comparison to other comparable homes in the vicinity.

- The expenses associated with maintaining your home during repairs—including but not limited to taxes, payments, insurance, utilities, and homeowners association dues.

We are committed to making your experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Since we are independently owned and operated, we have the flexibility and freedom to reach a solution that meets the needs of both parties. If you have questions about the offer and want to talk about it or negotiate, you are free to do so!

You have enough to handle with moving, so Block 14 makes everything else easy! That means we handle the closing process with minimal need for you to get involved.

We will assign a dedicated Transaction Coordinator to you. They will talk you through the steps in the process and work with you to resolve any issues that arise.

We either charge fees to an investor purchasing the property, or the property is added to our portfolio and we collect payments and/or fees from a Tenant/Buyer.

Therefore, the offer you are presented is the offer you will receive, no bait and switch or strings attached.

You may be eligible to receive a cash advance up to $10,000 after you have signed the purchase agreement and the 3 day cancellation period has expired.

Once you verbally accept the offer, we will present you with a purchase contract to sign that will formalize the agreement. Then, one of our Transaction Coordinators will reach out to you to set a convenient closing date with a title company or closing attorney.

We understand that circumstances may change. After signing the contract to accept our offer, you have the next three (3) days to consider your decision. If you change your mind during this period, you can cancel the contract by notifying us. We want you to feel confident about your decision.

One of the advantages of working with Block 14 is the flexibility we offer. You can live in the house for up to 30 days after you close at no additional cost.

To ensure that you leave the property at the agreed upon date, some of your profit will be released after your move-out is confirmed. All we ask is that you tell us about your situation in advance so that we can accommodate for this contingency in the Purchase Agreement.

We want to make this as easy as we can for you.
