We Really Buy Properties is a direct property acquisition company. Our tagline is simple: any property, any condition, a direct offer. We purchase residential, multifamily, commercial and self-storage real estate in as-is condition, and we work with owners who need a practical alternative to repairs, public listings and long marketing timelines.

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Orivant Capital Partners, and we are headquartered in Washington, DC. This page explains who we are, how we operate, and why property owners across the Washington metropolitan area and beyond bring their acquisition situations to our team.

Who We Are

Our company was built around a single idea. Selling real estate should not require an owner to fix, clean, stage or market a property before getting a real answer about its value. We evaluate properties directly, in whatever condition they are currently in, and present a direct offer based on that evaluation.

  • Headquartered in Washington, DC 20024
  • A wholly owned subsidiary of Orivant Capital Partners
  • A property investment company focused on direct acquisitions
  • Active across Washington, DC and nine states

What Makes Us a Property Investment Company, Not a Listing Service

We are not a real estate brokerage and we do not list properties publicly. As a property investment company, we evaluate and acquire real estate directly, which changes the entire process for an owner.

  • No showings, open houses or public listing period
  • No dependence on buyer financing or mortgage approval timelines
  • A single point of contact throughout the evaluation and closing
  • Direct offers based on our own underwriting and due diligence

This structure is particularly useful for owners of distressed, vacant or underperforming properties where a traditional sale would require significant time and money before a listing could even go live.

Where We Operate

We Really Buy Properties is headquartered in Washington, DC and evaluates acquisition opportunities across nine states. Our 100-mile headquarters service radius covers Washington, DC and nearby markets in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware. We also acquire qualifying properties in Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina through our extended acquisition network.

  • Washington, DC and the District of Columbia
  • Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland
  • Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Virginia
  • Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina

The Types of Properties We Acquire

Our acquisition team reviews a wide range of property types across residential, income-producing and commercial categories.

  • Residential properties, including single-family and small multifamily homes
  • Multifamily properties and apartment buildings
  • Commercial and mixed-use properties
  • Self-storage facilities

Properties can be occupied or vacant, distressed, outdated, damaged or in need of substantial repairs. We also consider properties tied to inherited estates, tax delinquency, partnership disputes or portfolio liquidation.

How We Approach Every Acquisition

Our process is built around clarity. An owner should always know what step they are on and what happens next.

  1. Property submission. The owner shares basic property and situation details.
  2. Initial review. Our team confirms the property fits an active market and property type.
  3. Information gathering. We collect any relevant documentation, such as lease terms or tax status.
  4. Valuation and due diligence. The property is evaluated using comparable sales, condition and income data.
  5. Direct offer. A clear written offer is presented to the owner.
  6. Agreed closing. A closing date is set based on the owner’s schedule.

How Our Company Is Structured

Being a wholly owned subsidiary of Orivant Capital Partners gives our acquisition team access to institutional capital and underwriting resources that many independent buyers do not have. This structure allows us to move on larger transactions, including multifamily portfolios and commercial properties, while still handling single-property residential acquisitions with the same level of attention.

  • Institutional capital backing behind every offer
  • An internal underwriting team, not a network of individual investors
  • The ability to evaluate properties ranging from a single home to a multi-building portfolio
  • Consistent process and communication from submission through closing

Our Presence Across the Region

Our office is based in Washington, DC 20024, near the Southwest Waterfront and Navy Yard. From there, we actively evaluate properties throughout the Washington metropolitan area and beyond.

  • Washington, DC neighborhoods including Capitol Hill, Petworth, Anacostia and Georgetown
  • Northern Virginia communities including Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax County
  • Suburban Maryland communities including Prince George’s County, Montgomery County and Silver Spring
  • Extended markets in Baltimore, Maryland, Wilmington, Delaware, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
  • Further acquisition markets in Charleston, West Virginia, Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, Charlotte, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina

Regardless of which market a property sits in, the same core team and process applies. An owner working with us in downtown Washington gets the same direct, structured evaluation as an owner working with us in Raleigh or Cincinnati.

Why Owners Choose to Work With Us Directly

We hear from owners who have already tried listing a property, only to find that repairs, financing contingencies, or a slow market made the process harder than expected. Working directly with our acquisition team changes the dynamic.

  • One team manages the property from first contact through closing
  • No public listing exposes a vacant or distressed property to unnecessary risk
  • No repairs are required before an offer is presented
  • Offers are grounded in comparable sales and current market data, not guesswork

Who This Service Is For

  • Landlords with difficult or underperforming rentals
  • Owners of vacant houses or buildings
  • Families handling inherited real estate
  • Multifamily and apartment-building owners
  • Commercial property owners
  • Independent self-storage facility owners
  • Investors liquidating individual properties or portfolios
  • Owners facing major repair or deferred-maintenance costs
  • Partnerships, estates, LLCs or businesses disposing of real estate

What We Provide

  • Residential property purchases
  • Multifamily property purchases
  • Apartment-building purchases
  • Commercial property purchases
  • Self-storage facility purchases
  • Distressed property evaluations
  • As-is property purchase offers
  • Vacant property purchases
  • Inherited property purchases
  • Investment-property and portfolio purchases

How We Think About Every Acquisition

Our underwriting philosophy is built around treating every property as its own case, rather than applying a single formula across every submission. A single-family home in a residential neighborhood is evaluated differently than a self-storage facility with fluctuating occupancy, and both are evaluated differently than a commercial building with a long-term tenant.

  • Residential properties are weighed against recent comparable sales and repair scope
  • Multifamily and apartment properties are weighed against current income, occupancy and capital needs
  • Commercial and mixed-use properties are weighed against lease terms, zoning and market demand
  • Self-storage facilities are weighed against occupancy trends and operational condition

This case-by-case approach is part of why our company works with such a wide range of owners, from a family settling an estate to an investor managing a multi-property portfolio.

What Sets a Direct Acquisition Company Apart From an Agent

Owners sometimes ask how working with us differs from listing with a real estate agent. The distinction comes down to who is actually buying the property.

  • An agent markets a property to find a third-party buyer, who may or may not follow through
  • We evaluate and purchase the property directly, using our own capital
  • An agent’s timeline depends on market interest and buyer financing
  • Our timeline depends on due diligence and an agreed closing date with the owner

Owners are always free to work with both paths at once, comparing a direct offer against what a traditional listing might bring, and consulting a licensed real estate professional before deciding which route fits their situation.

What Owners Can Expect From Our Team

Owners reaching out for the first time often want to know what kind of communication to expect throughout the process. We keep this simple and consistent.

  • A single point of contact from initial submission through closing
  • Clear explanations of each step, including what happens next and why
  • Honest answers about how a property’s condition or situation affects the offer
  • No pressure to accept an offer before you have had time to review it

This approach reflects the same tone across every property type we evaluate, whether it is a single inherited home or a multi-building commercial portfolio.
