The fine print, written in plain English.

E.R. Home Buyers is a private real estate investment company. Unless we have given you a separate written agency agreement, we are acting as a principal — a buyer or partner in the transaction — and not as your real estate broker, agent, attorney, lender, appraiser, or tax advisor.

Because we are buying for our own account or on behalf of our investment partners, our interests in a purchase are not the same as yours. We encourage every seller to seek independent legal, tax, and real estate advice before signing anything.

Nothing on this website creates an agency relationship, a listing agreement, or a binding offer. Any offer becomes binding only when it is reduced to a written purchase agreement signed by both parties.

Our cash offers are made on an as-is, where-is basis with no repair requests and no inspection contingency required of the seller. We may still conduct a walkthrough or due diligence for our own purposes.

We may purchase in our own name, in the name of an affiliated entity, or we may assign our rights under the purchase agreement to a third-party buyer before closing. When we market a property we have under contract, we are marketing our equitable interest in that contract — not the property itself as a listing agent would.

Any assignment, and any assignment fee we may earn, will be disclosed in the purchase agreement and on the closing statement as required by the closing attorney or title company and applicable state law.

Closing timelines described on this site — such as 21 days or less for cash purchases — are typical targets, not guarantees. Title issues, liens, probate, payoff delays, tenants, or municipal requirements can extend a closing.

The Equity Protection Program is a written partnership arrangement in which we advance and pay for the costs of preparing, marketing, and closing the property, including standard closing costs and both brokerage commissions, in exchange for agreed terms with the owner.

When a property is listed on the MLS through this program, the listing is placed by a duly licensed real estate broker. We are not the listing broker, and we do not perform brokerage services or collect a commission. Brokerage services are performed only by licensed professionals under their own agreements with the owner.

Estimated marketing-to-close windows for this program — such as 60 to 90 days — are estimates based on prior transactions and market conditions. Actual timelines and sale prices depend on the market and are not guaranteed.

Specific cost responsibilities, profit split, term, and cancellation rights are set out in the written partnership agreement. The written agreement controls; website summaries are for general explanation only.

We do not guarantee any sale price, net proceeds, appraisal value, or that any transaction will close. Examples and figures shown anywhere on this site are illustrative only.

We do not provide legal, tax, accounting, credit-repair, foreclosure-rescue, or loan-modification services, and we never ask for upfront fees from sellers. If anyone claiming to represent us requests a fee to make an offer, contact us immediately at (919) 301-9380.

Testimonials on this site reflect the experience of individual sellers and are not a promise that you will have the same result. We do not offer or provide compensation in exchange for reviews.
