How It Works

A simpler way to sell your house privately

Selling a house doesn’t have to mean cleaning everything up, making repairs, scheduling showings, and waiting to see what happens. DCI Properties gives homeowners another option.

We take the time to understand your situation, look at the property, explain what we’re seeing, and put together a private offer for you to consider.

There’s no pressure to sell. Our goal is to help you decide whether a private sale makes sense for you.

Here’s How It Works

Four Simple Steps

01

Tell Us About Your Property

Start by telling us a little about the house and what’s going on. We’ll ask about the property, your timeline, and most importantly, why you’re considering selling.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you contact us. That’s what the conversation is for.

02

Speak With Our Team

If it looks like we may be able to help, we’ll arrange an appointment to see the property. We’ll walk through the house, talk about its condition, and learn more about what you’re hoping to accomplish.

This isn’t a sales presentation. It’s a conversation. We want you to leave the appointment better informed than when we arrived, whether or not DCI ultimately buys the property.

03

Receive Your Offer

After we’ve seen the property, we take the information back and do our homework. We look at things like:

  • The property’s current condition
  • Comparable sales
  • Renovation requirements
  • Current market conditions
  • Holding and resale costs
  • The risk involved in the project

We then put together an offer based on what the property makes sense for us to buy for. We don’t promise to be the highest offer. Instead, we aim to provide a fair, straightforward offer based on the property and the terms of the deal.

04

Decide What’s Best for You

This is the part that matters most. You don’t have to accept our offer. Take the time you need. Compare your options. Ask questions.

If our offer and the terms make sense for your situation, we can move forward. If they don’t, that’s okay too. We’re not the right fit for everyone — and it’s okay to say no.

What Makes A Private Sale Different?

A private sale isn’t necessarily about getting the absolute highest price. For some homeowners, other things matter just as much:

Simplicity.

Avoid the traditional process of preparing a house for market.

Privacy.

No open houses or a steady stream of people walking through your home.

Certainty.

Know who you’re dealing with and have a clear plan for the sale.

Flexibility

Work toward a closing date that fits your situation.

Convenience.

Sell the house as-is without taking on renovations just to get it ready.

The right choice depends on what matters most to you.

What If My House Needs Work?

That’s okay.

We buy properties in a wide range of conditions, including homes with deferred maintenance, major repairs, outdated interiors, estate situations, tenant challenges and other complications.

You don’t have to turn your house into a perfect showcase before you talk to us.

In many cases, the reason a seller contacts DCI in the first place is because they don’t want to take on all that work.

What If I Decide Not To Sell?

That’s completely fine.

Not every property is the right fit for DCI, and a private sale isn’t the right solution for every homeowner.

Our job isn’t to convince you to sell.

Our job is to help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision.

Seller Stories

A Real Seller Experience

Portrait of a man with glasses in a dark blazer
“No hassles or BS, just an honest and up-front transaction from very nice people.”
Chris Harris, DCI Seller

One DCI seller was preparing to move from a home he’d lived in for 38 years. The house had become too large and difficult to maintain, and it hadn’t been updated beyond what was necessary. He was initially skeptical about selling to an investment company.

He was initially skeptical about selling to an investment company. After working with DCI, he described the experience as honest, straightforward and helpful. He was also able to choose a closing date that worked with his plans for his next home.

That’s the experience we’re trying to create:

A seller who feels understood, respected, informed and in control.
