Stop trusting
SALESMEN
when you need to sell
your HOME.

It’s not wise to trust the word of ANY wholesaler, home buyer, or self-proclaimed “investor” when you need to sell your home off-market and get the MOST you possibly can.

They typically spend thousands every month to fill your mailboxes with junk and your neighborhood medians with tacky signs, all for a chance to swipe TENS OF THOUSANDS in hard-earned equity from homeowners looking for an off-market solution.

Why sell for a

fair price?

When you can sell for the

FULL PRICE?

The trick they all use is to hide their calculations and convince you that their offer is “fair.”

That’s why no one will give you a price range or ballpark figure over the phone when you ask.

They need to get a salesperson in your living room to work their sales tactics and pressure you.

IF THEY FIND AN INVESTOR,

the vast majority of home buyers and wholesalers will not clearly identify the investor who will ultimately purchase your property, or how much they are paying. They are often even known for not letting you speak directly with the person purchasing YOUR HOME.

Why is that? It’s because they want to hide the equity they are taking for themselves. And in our informed opinion, the amounts are sickening.

$34,000 ?

$13,000 ??

$55,000 ???

$26,000 ?

$41,000 ??

$17,000 ???

TALK TO SOMEONE

who has sold their home through a wholesaler or home buyer.

You will find that even if they feel they got a fair price,

It’s just a feeling.

Do they know how much their home sold for?

Did they receive a copy of the contract signed with the investor purchasing their home?

Did they agree to reduce their asking price after being told it was necessary to sell their home?

Did they have the contact information for the investor purchasing their property?

Creating that feeling is what salespeople are trained to do.

So, feeling happy to finally be relieved of a stressful situation, they leave glowing reviews for the next person to read and trust.

Totally and blissfully
UNAWARE
they’ve just lost more equity

than the average American earns in a year.

We believe homeowners are entitled to the full amount that actual investors offer for their property....

and they should not have to give up equity during a period of transition, financial difficulty, or overwhelming responsibility.

Only trust transparency.

We are an organization built to educate and advocate for homeowners in off-market real estate transactions

We don’t make offers, and we don’t employ salespeople.

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL is to provide homeowners with the knowledge and data they need to negotiate directly with investors and retain their equity.

We educate.

Off-market real estate transactions are very different from traditional MLS-listed sales. Without the structure, protections, and clarity of the brokerage model, homeowners are very vulnerable to losing large amounts of hard-earned equity.

Get clarity from someone other than a salesperson.

Before accepting offers on your home, call or email us. Let us guide you toward the best path for your situation, explaining the key details and potential pitfalls of an off-market transaction so you can protect as much of your equity as possible. Overlooking key details in this process will very likely cost you five figures before you even realize it. We provide clear and complete information while revealing the details that matter, placing the homeowner on a level playing field with the professionals they negotiate with. Knowledge is of utmost importance when choosing to sell real estate without a real estate agent’s representation.

We give you the knowledge and the numbers. For free.

Our Investor Market Analysis is a custom report that uses official MLS sales data—the same detailed data all realtors and investors use when calculating offers. Almost every homeowner has an “aha” moment when they see the Investor Market Analysis because they immediately understand why salespeople work so hard to keep this information from them. This report is powerful because it lets homeowners see the full value of their home from an investor’s perspective. This way, they can decide for themselves what a “fair” price is and exactly how much to pay an intermediary, if they choose to use one.

Do you need guidance for your specific situation? We're happy to help.

We can advise you on complex or time-sensitive situations, including inherited properties, properties belonging to deceased owners, tenant-occupied properties, pending foreclosures, and more. Our consulting team has more than 35 years of off-market real estate experience. Every member of our consulting team is a former real estate agent who now helps homeowners understand their options and navigate off-market transactions with greater transparency and fairness.

After a free consultation with us, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to negotiate the sale of your home directly with any investor, and walk away with the highest possible amount.

We advocate.

Some homeowners request additional assistance from us.

Whether due to limited time, health issues, emotional difficulty, work stress, demanding schedules, or urgent deadlines, some homeowners need a transparent organization they can trust to manage the entire process. They simply want to receive the most they can from an investor for their property with as little stress as possible, allowing them to focus on other responsibilities or issues in their lives. For those who request, we provide that assistance and more in the form of an advocacy service.

You deserve an advocate protecting your interests from offer to closing.

We handle the offers, coordinate the closing details, and tailor the process to your unique situation. If you have ever sold a property to an investor, you know how valuable that support can be. Tell us what you need, then focus on everything else demanding your attention as the closing date approaches. If circumstances change, we stay on top of them—keeping you informed, solving problems, and supporting you every step of the way. As experts, we understand that selling a home or property is often more than a transaction; it’s part of a transition into a new chapter. Life keeps moving, and plans can change. That’s why you deserve more than a salesperson chasing a deal.

You own the entire property. You should keep the entire offer.

We can’t stand the games middlemen play to take as much of your equity as they can. When we manage the process, you get the full amount offered by the investor for your property—no matter how high. As homeowners ourselves, we believe your equity belongs to you, and no one else. You deserve a clear cost, an advocate who is transparent, and as much money as possible for your next chapter of life.

The process of selling to an investor doesn’t need AI.

What it needs is

Actual Integrity.

Get clarity on the full picture.

Selling off-market means navigating an opaque system that can take equity from sellers at multiple points while hiding how much was taken.

EDUCATED sellers can demand transparency when they fully understand the process and have access to the same numbers used by actual investors.

We prepare you in two ways:

After receiving basic information about your property, we create an Investor Market Analysis.

Our proprietary report uses actual MLS sales data from properties in your subdivision, including fully remodeled properties. It shows relevant market data and estimates the range of offers you might expect from investors based on your property’s details and market conditions. If you are looking for a “ballpark figure,” this report provides one and shows the official data behind the estimate.

Finally, homeowners have access to the same MLS data as investors and can negotiate confidently to retain as much equity as possible. Stop relying on someone else’s numbers and their definition of a “fair price.”

During this consultation, we deliver and review your Investor Market Analysis and provide guidance specific to your situation and property.

After you share basic property information, you can call us or schedule a time for us to call you. We’ll explain the offer ranges you can expect, best practices, potential pitfalls, and issues involving tenants, title, or other unique circumstances. Our expert guidance can help you avoid a lot of unnecessary costs and stress. It’s the difference between speaking with a company salesperson and receiving guidance from an independent expert organization.

You can do this.

We don’t want to make you an offer—we want to teach you the right questions to ask wholesalers, home buyers, and investors so you can recognize misleading information and protect your equity. This free conversation gives you the knowledge and confidence to evaluate offers, negotiate firmly, and choose the option that best fits your situation. If questions arise, call us for help!

Sometimes you need an advocate.

Do you want YHYE.org to help sell your home, give you the full amount of the offer you choose, and manage the entire process?

We created a service to manage the entire process while acting as your transparent advocate.

This service is for sellers who:

- Are ready to sell a property now (closing whenever you choose)

- Don’t want to have to deal with property details or negotiate, and simply want to be done in three steps

- Don’t want salespeople walking through your home, only local investors making firm offers

- Need to get the most money possible and want to receive the full amount offered by the investor they choose

Interested?

The process takes just three steps:

Some homeowners don’t have the time or energy to manage the selling process, while others don’t want to negotiate with inexperienced investors or pushy salespeople in their homes. We can gather offers for you while accommodating your preferred timeline and circumstances.

A great benefit to using our service is that you receive the full amount of the offer you choose, no matter how high it is.

We work with a private local pool of experienced investors. Unlike an intermediary that may keep part of the spread, our process lets you communicate directly with the investor purchasing your property. The investors in our pool love our transparency as well.

We never hide the sales price or negotiate behind your back. Once you choose an offer, you can communicate directly with the investor buying your property, making it easier to discuss details and plan for closing. If you need extra time or need to pick up some items after closing, you can arrange those details directly.

For example, investors have sometimes increased their offers by several thousand dollars in exchange for allowing contractor access before closing. When nothing is hidden, you are free to discuss the options that best fit your situation.

Congratulations! You are one of the few homeowners to have accepted an investor’s offer without losing tens of thousands in equity.

As you prepare for closing, focus on your other responsibilities while we help ensure the paperwork is in order. We’ll explain what is needed and prepare you for any potential obstacles. An overwhelming situation becomes very manageable when an experienced professional provides a clear plan instead of a sales pitch.

We have extensive experience with off-market transactions involving pending foreclosures, back taxes, liens, inherited properties, properties involving deceased owners, divorce-related sales, tenant-occupied properties, damaged properties, portfolios, vacant lots, difficult-to-acquire payoffs, affidavits, memoranda, and other documents required to clear title.

This is a good day—the day the sale proceeds are given to you via wire or check, your tax burden and property debts officially end, and a new chapter begins.

If your property has become a burden, trust us to help you reach the finish line while maximizing the proceeds you retain. At closing, you will pay a transparent, one-time fee—often less than a traditional real estate commission or the equity surrendered in an off-market sale to a home buyer—in exchange for our managing the full sale process. When someone provides a service, they should offer clear value at a clear price. Our low flat fee supports the free guidance we provide to all homeowners, while allowing you to keep the full amount an investor offers for your property.

We celebrate everyone who finds us and gives us the opportunity to transform off-market real estate transactions and return power and equity to homeowners. We operate with an extremely limited marketing budget, so spreading the word is the main way people will find us!

Managing the sale of your property supports our mission and allows us to provide free assistance and resources to sellers who need a solution.

FAQs

• Do you want to buy my home?

No. If you’ve decided to sell your home or property, we just want you to get the most for it.Listing your property on the MLS with a realtor is almost always the best choice, provided you can afford the time, upfront costs, effort, and inconvenience involved in the process.If you can’t, that’s where we come in.

• So what do you do exactly?

1. We educate homeowners on how to sell their property off-market without losing equity and answer any questions they may have as they go through the process.2. We provide an Investor Market Analysis—a PDF report that uses MLS sales data to estimate what investors could offer for your property. Think of it as a ballpark figure backed by MLS sales data.

• But can you help me sell?

If you request our service, we’ll quickly set up showings and present offers from our local investor pool. You choose an offer and closing date, and we expertly manage the entire process through closing, ensuring you are prepared and well informed all the way to the closing table.Our seasoned team is particularly equipped to help sellers with difficult circumstances, complex title issues (cooperation is essential), or time-sensitive situations. For example, we have helped multiple sellers with foreclosure dates close in as little as five business days.

• I signed a contract.

Awesome! We are here to provide whatever support you need to close on time and not lose money. Let us know if something goes wrong or doesn’t look or feel right, especially before you commit. We are not attorneys and don't pretend to be, but an experienced professional can help you understand the situation and identify potential problems before they cost time and money.Note: You cannot use our advocacy service if you have signed a contract, or are negotiating a contract to sell your home. Our service is not designed to be used in a competitive manner or as part of an effort to receive bids. If you are taking bids, you do not need our advocacy service so good luck!

• Is my buyer legitimate?

In our experience, a meaningful earnest money deposit is the main way to determine that a buyer is serious. This is when the buyer deposits a portion of the purchase price with the title company as a sign of good faith and commitment to completing the purchase. The appropriate amount depends on the property and contract, but is typically $5,000-10,000.In our opinion, do not sign any paperwork to sell your property without making sure the contract clearly states that earnest money will be deposited with the title company handling the transaction.

• They're trying to change the price!

Unfortunately, that is quite common. The particularly nasty thing is that many home buyers will wait until they see you packing or preparing to sell, particularly if you seem optimistic or desperate. Then, 10 days before closing, when stress is elevated and alternatives have disappeared, they request a price reduction.Or, in the case of online home buyers making sight unseen offers, the offer looks good and everything is smooth until they finally send someone to the property to do a walkthrough. They also use time and assurance to see if you will commit to the sale and run out of options, increasing their leverage to get you to agree to accept less.Any price change must be agreed to in writing—you are not required to accept a lower amount.

• Has my contract been assigned?

Assignment is a common way for a wholesaler to earn money, and its use became much more widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic. A person (with no money) promises to pay you an amount for your property. Then, they blast your house pictures all across the internet as they desperately look for anyone with money to purchase your property so they can take a cut in the middle. Problems arise for you when the replacement buyer has not been properly vetted or proves unreliable.”In addition, wholesalers are notorious for using assignment contracts to file memoranda with the county blocking you from selling your property. Although not an official lien, when a memo is filed no title company will close a transaction without it being removed, forcing you to pay the wholesaler when you eventually sell the property or pay an attorney a comparable amount to contest the filing.In Texas, you can protect yourself with an anti-assignment clause stating that the buyer may not assign the purchase contract or transfer its rights without your prior written consent.

• How do closing costs work exactly?

This is an important question to ask any potential buyer before signing a contract. They should be able to explain every single cost clearly. It's one of the easiest ways to weed out salespeople trying to earn hefty commissions paid for with your equity.

• Which areas of Texas do you serve?

The Greater Houston area and surrounding counties, mainly Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties.
