If you own a distressed Maryland property, you have likely already heard from more than one interested buyer. This page is written specifically to help you compare offers, so you can tell the difference between a serious offer and one that will not actually close, before you commit to anything.
The Comparison Checklist
- Capital source. Is the buyer purchasing with their own funds, or relying on financing or a downstream buyer?
- Proof of funds. Can the buyer provide documentation showing they can close without external financing?
- Transaction history. How many Maryland properties has this buyer actually closed on, not just placed under contract?
- Offer transparency. Can the buyer explain how they arrived at their number, using comparable sales and repair estimates?
- Closing timeline. Is the proposed timeline realistic, and is it backed by the buyer’s actual capacity to close?
- Contract terms. Are there unusual contingencies, extension clauses, or assignment language buried in the paperwork?
Why the Highest Offer Is Not Always the Best One
An offer only has value if it actually closes. A higher number from a buyer who cannot follow through, whether due to financing that falls apart or a downstream buyer who backs out, is worth less than a firm, lower offer from a buyer who can close reliably. Comparing offers on price alone misses this distinction.
Questions to Ask Every Buyer You Are Considering
- Are you purchasing this property yourself, or planning to assign the contract to someone else
- Can you provide proof of funds showing your ability to close without financing
- What is your track record with Maryland distressed property acquisitions
- What happens if you are unable to close for any reason
- Who is behind your company, and what capital backs your offers

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to compare multiple distressed property buyers before deciding? Yes. A legitimate buyer will not discourage you from comparing offers, and doing so is one of the best ways to identify which buyer is actually likely to close.
How can I verify a buyer’s proof of funds? Ask directly for documentation. A legitimate buyer should be able to provide evidence of their ability to close without hesitation.
What if a buyer pressures me to sign quickly? Pressure to sign before you have had time to review or compare offers is a warning sign. Take the time you need.
Do you charge a fee for an initial evaluation? No. There is no cost or obligation to request a property review.
How do I request an evaluation from your team? Submit the property address, property type, current condition and contact details through the website or by calling (202) 946-6108.
Red Flags Worth Watching For
- A buyer who will not provide proof of funds or answer basic questions
- Pressure to sign a contract on the spot, before you can review it fully
- Vague answers about who actually purchases the property or where the capital comes from
- An offer that seems unusually high compared to others, without a clear explanation of how it was calculated
Green Flags That Suggest a Buyer Is Serious
- Willingness to answer every question in this comparison checklist directly
- A clear explanation of how the offer was calculated
- No pressure to respond immediately, and encouragement to consult an attorney
- A verifiable track record of closed Maryland transactions, backed by actual references or documentation rather than vague claims of experience.
