A Discreet Property Solution for Certain Homes

Not every home is best sold through the open market. In some situations, allowing a professional home builder to make an offer can eliminate obstacles that would otherwise delay or prevent a sale.

As part of our Property Solutions approach, we maintain relationships with multiple established home builders who purchase properties directly for redevelopment. Each builder has different criteria, timelines, and pricing models. When appropriate, we can quietly explore these options and present them to you so you can decide what makes the most sense.

This is not the only solution we offer, and it is not right for every property. It is simply one of several tools we use to help homeowners move forward when traditional listing strategies are not ideal.

What Builders Typically Look For

(Example Buy Box Criteria at the bottom of the page)

Each builder has a different buy box, but many focus on properties with characteristics like these:

Lot Characteristics

• Larger lots, often 13,000 square feet or more

• Properties located in established neighborhoods

• Preference for lots without HOA restrictions

• Generally not on major arterial streets

• Typically not hillside or mountainside lots

• No historic district restrictions

• No busy streets

Property Profile

• Older homes that are candidates for full redevelopment

• Homes built prior to the early 2000s

• Properties where remodeling may not be the best long-term solution

• Situations where land value is a primary driver of pricing

Location Focus

Builders tend to concentrate on high-demand areas where new construction inventory is limited. These are often established neighborhoods in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, and select areas of Phoenix.

Because we work with multiple builders, a property that does not meet one buy box may still be a fit for another.

Advantages of Allowing a Builder to Make an Offer

Letting a builder review your property does not commit you to anything. It simply gives you another option to consider. For the right situation, there can be meaningful advantages.

Simplicity and Certainty

• No repairs, cleaning, or preparation required

• No showings or open houses

• No staging or marketing period

• Flexible closing timelines based on your needs

Financial Clarity

• Cash offers with no financing contingencies

• Reduced risk of contract fallout

• No renegotiations after inspections

• Real estate compensation handled by the buyer

Privacy and Control

• Off-market and confidential

• No public listing history

• No risk of the home being relisted later at a higher price

• You maintain full control over whether to accept, counter, or decline

Direct End Buyers

• These are builders purchasing for their own projects

• Not wholesalers

• Not assignment contracts

• No flipping for short-term resale

This Is One Option, Not the Only Option

Builder offers are only one part of our broader Property Solutions strategy. Depending on your situation, other paths may include:

• Traditional listing with targeted pricing and marketing

• Selling with repairs completed strategically

• Selling as-is on the open market

• Coordinating a sale for out-of-state owners

• Assisting seniors with transitions and timing needs

Our role is to evaluate the property, understand your goals, and present viable options so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

How the Process Works

1. We review the property and your situation

2. We identify which builder profiles may be a fit

3. You sign paperwork authorizing me to present your property to builders.

4. We discreetly request interest from qualified builders

5. You review the offers alongside other available options

6. You decide how and when to move forward

There is no obligation to accept an offer.

Talk Through Your Options

If you own a property in Arizona and something is preventing you from selling, this may be worth a conversation. Even if a builder offer is not the right fit, understanding your options can help clarify your next step.

You can reach me directly to discuss whether this solution applies to your property and what alternatives may be available.
