I can honestly say that working with Big State Homebuyers was probably one of the easiest parts of the aftermath from Hurricane Harvey. Michael gave us the highest offer of any other company and treated us with dignity and respect. He happily negotiated with us on price, the terms of the contract, and he was very flexible when we had to keep moving our close date. I will 100% recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their as-is home.read more

The people at Big State did a great job for us. I did have to do some legwork with old documents and witnesses, but our situation was muddled at best. The people we worked with from Big State Home Buyers were friendly, professional and expeditious. I would recommend this company.read more

Let me start this review by stating I am NOT an easy person to please - I tend to be very distrustful of sales people in general and I was very skeptical about joining into a deal with a real-estate investor. Having said that - I am very pleased to say that Big State Home Buyer is an OUTSTANDING company to work with! I had the pleasure of working with Hunter Hill and he held my hand through the entire process! My 74 yo mother was ready to sell her home after 41 years. I had 4 investor companies come to the house and all four made an offer. We chose Big State because of their professional demeanor and the fact that they significantly outbid the other companies. From that point on it was a relatively painless process - much smoother and easier than I ever imagined. When it came time to sign the actual contract, Brian Spitz, (owner), took the time to explain every section of the contract to me by phone. Throughout this entire process Hunter understood my skepticism and also that this was an emotional journey for my mother. Even through my skepticism and at times my less than professional demeanor - Hunter persevered and went out of his way to answer all my questions and make this process as smooth as possible. We signed the contract on June 14th and closed on the house July 13th! Hunter Hill is a man of his word! In summation, I will continue to highly recommend this company to friends and families!read more

Long story short...Big State Home Buyers are miracle workers! That said, here is the long version and it's worth reading in case you ever find yourself in a seemingly impossible situation. In 1954 my parents purchased a home. In 1971 they paid it off. In 2010 my father passed away after living in the house for 56 years. Later that same year I officially inherited the house upon probating the will. In 2015 I decided to sell the house and listed it with a local realtor. Within a week the house had three offers and I accepted one. When the title paperwork was being prepared a break in the chain of title was discovered. Record keeping was shoddy at best back in the 1950's and there was nothing on record showing the people my parents bought the house from ever owned it in the first place. How the owners were able to sell the house to my parents without the proper paperwork is a mystery. Like I said, it was shoddy back then. Over the next year I spoke with numerous other real estate agents, title companies, several attorneys, and even one sitting county judge (via a friend of a friend). All told me the same thing. I would have to file a "Trespass to Try Title" lawsuit to prove that the house my family lived in and paid taxes on for the past 62 years actually did belong to us. This lawsuit would cost anywhere from $5K to $10K and would take six months best case scenario. I did not have the money for the lawsuit so that avenue was not possible. The whole situation was heartbreaking because my parents were always so proud of the fact that they owned their house free and clear. Interesting that there was never any question the house belonged to us for the 62 years we paid taxes on it. Before I gave up completely I searched for options online. One company responded right away. I explained the whole situation and they were adamant that they would solve the title issue and buy the house. No problem at all. They do this kind of thing all the time. This dragged on for three months of assurances and reassurances. They basically did everything but hand me a check for the house. A few weeks after the last reassuring phone call I got a call that lasted maybe 10 seconds. "Sorry, we won't be able to do anything after all." Stating the obvious, this was very disheartening because my hopes were built up by constant phone calls and emails for three months which ended with an abrupt "sorry" and that was that. Once again I was left with what seemed to be my only option which was to abandon the house I had been born into and raised in. A month or so later I decided to give it one final try. I contacted a few more places I found online including the ugly houses folks. That is when I stumbled across Big State Home Buyers. I received an email response immediately, forwarded all of the information and paperwork that I had and a few minutes later I spoke with Brian Spitz. He was very professional, friendly and understanding and felt confident that they could find a way to sell the house. I was skeptical and I told him as much. After allowing someone to raise my hopes so high only to be disappointed it was hard for me to have faith or trust that anyone would actually be able to sell the house. Five months later they did it! The house was sold! Throughout the process Brian was in constant contact keeping me updated. Even if there was no real new news he still let me know that they hadn't forgotten about me and were still working on getting the house sold. It was a mission for him that he was just not going to walk away from. Admittedly, I remained skeptical until the very end. Even after the paperwork was processed and I had the check I still had a hard time believing they actually sold the house. The dark cloud that had been hanging over me causing me so much stress had finally been lifted. They are real estate miracle workers! Brian Spitz, Richard Lowrance, and Sonya Seymour with Big State Home Buyers; Brenda Nieto with Independence Title Company who tracked down heirs of the people my parents bought the home from to get documents from them so the house could be put in my name to sell; Meka Dixon also with Independence Title Company who worked with me on the final paperwork process: All of these amazing people are heroes to me! The house wasn't worth a ton of money so this wasn't a lucrative venture for them, but Brian and his team took the title issues as a challenge and did not stop until the house was sold. They made the impossible possible. There will never be words to express how grateful I am to them. As much as I needed to be rid of the burden of a house I did not need, it really broke my heart to think that I would have to abandon it. Because of Big State Home Buyers I was able to properly sell the house. I hope a new family finds it soon and spends many happy years there. Back to the beginning, if you ever find yourself in a seemingly impossible situation, don't lose hope. There are amazing people at Big State Home Buyers who can help. And who are happy to help. Throughout the process they were always incredibly kind to me. They understood my frustrations and also that this was an emotional journey. Even through my skepticism Brian and Brenda promised they would not give up. They kept their promise and I will forever be grateful to them.read more

Scammers. Signed a contract to buy our house, then continually dragged their feet in getting us a check. Finally, pulled out of the contract without so much as a courtesy call. Unprofessional jerks.read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Big State and in particular, Richard. He was a God send and helped us with every aspect in the selling of my dad's property after his untimely passing. In less than a month we had an offer and they got us the very best price. I would recommend them to everyone I know, hands down.read more
