Not all cash buyers are the same.
National cash home buying companies like Opendoor, Offerpad, and Zillow process thousands of transactions a month using automated valuations, investor networks, and call centers. They don’t know your neighborhood, they didn’t grow up here, and there’s no one person whose name is on the line when they make you an offer. We’re different in every way that matters.
A Maryland family business — not a call center.
We’ve been buying homes from Maryland families since 2015. When you call us, you talk to the same people you see in this video — not a script reader in another state.
Our name and reputation are on the line with every transaction. That’s why we do things differently than the national companies — and why Maryland sellers keep choosing us over Opendoor, Offerpad, and Zillow.

Local knowledge means
a better offer.
National algorithms can’t account for the things that actually affect your home’s value in Maryland. A local buyer can — and does.
We’ve bought homes in Dundalk, Towson, Parkville, Canton, and hundreds of communities in between. We know which streets command premiums and our offers reflect that.
When you call us, you get Josh or a senior acquisitions team member — not a script reader. Questions get real answers. Decisions get made on the spot.
Many national buyers advertise a number then deduct service fees, repair credits, and “market adjustments” at closing. What we offer is what you receive — in writing upfront.
iBuyers pass on anything that needs work. We buy houses in any condition — fire damage, hoarder situations, code violations, uninhabitable — as-is, no repairs required.
We’re a Baltimore family building a business we plan to pass down. Every seller we work with knows our name — and we treat them accordingly.
We close when you’re ready — 7 days or 90 days. National buyers often have rigid timelines driven by investor funds. We work around your situation every time.
Real people. Real results.
Unscripted reviews from Maryland homeowners who chose Impact Home Team — many of whom considered national buyers first.
“The deciding factor was Josh Hines. He’s a person of high integrity — I could just tell it. He did business the way I like to do business. Forthright, upfront, very interested in what was going on. He put a personal touch on it and I was really satisfied with absolutely everything.”
“I have heard horror stories about these kinds of companies. This was absolutely not the case. You guys were there for me day and night and you exceeded my expectations.”
“Super easy and very convenient. From the first call to receiving our check was only about 10 days. Communication was superb. I would definitely work with them again.”
Already have an offer?
Let us take a look.
If you’ve already received an offer from Opendoor, Offerpad, Zillow, or any national buyer, get a second opinion before you sign. It costs you nothing and takes less than 24 hours.
In many cases we can match or beat what you’ve been offered — without the service fees, without the fine print, and with a local team who will actually pick up the phone.
Fill out the form or call us. Tell us what you’ve been offered and by whom — we’ll research the property on our end.
We pull local comps, assess condition, and come back with a real number. Transparent, written, no obligation.
Keep both offers side by side and choose what’s best for you. We never pressure and we never follow up aggressively.
Once you accept, we open title and close on your timeline. As fast as 7 days or whenever you’re ready.
What sellers ask us when comparing buyers
The questions we hear most from Maryland homeowners who are weighing their options.
National buyers use automated valuations and charge service fees of 5–8% that reduce what you actually receive. We use local market knowledge, charge no fees, and the number we put in writing is what you walk away with. No deductions at closing on your side.
Sometimes yes — especially once you factor in the service fees the other buyer charges. Share the offer with us and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can do better. We won’t waste your time if we can’t.
Yes. Opendoor and Offerpad decline properties that need significant repairs, have code violations, or are in certain zip codes. We buy distressed homes, inherited properties, and houses in any condition throughout the Baltimore metro and surrounding Maryland counties.
We buy with our own capital. We’re not a marketplace, a lead generator, or a wholesaler who passes your deal to unknown investors. When we make you an offer, we’re the buyer — full stop.
Because we know the market. National algorithms price conservatively to account for unknowns. A local buyer who has bought dozens of homes in your neighborhood can price accurately — which often means a higher offer, not a lower one.
Check your contract for cancellation terms — many have a short window. If you haven’t signed yet, reach out before you do. If you have signed and want to explore options, call us and we’ll talk through what’s possible.
Get a local offer before
you decide.
No obligation. No pressure. Just a real written offer from a Maryland team who knows your market.
