Tell us about your property
Owners and brokers welcome. We review every submission personally and respond within 48 hours.
Owners often ask
Do I have to list my property to be matched with a buyer?
No. Many owners prefer a quiet, off-market sale. We review your property confidentially and only introduce it to buyers whose criteria fit.
What cap rate are your buyers looking for?
Our current investment buyers are targeting a 6.5% or higher cap rate based on actual income and expenses, and they prefer properties with room for future rent increases.
Can brokers submit properties?
Yes. If you have a listing or pocket listing that fits, send it over — we cooperate with listing brokers.
What if my property isn’t a match?
You’ll still get a free, confidential broker opinion of value, plus our honest view on whether selling, leasing, or refinancing puts the most in your pocket.
