Why Should I Work with a Local Investor?

Working with a local home buying company is super important. Here at Zion REI we are familiar with West Michigan. There is a reason we work in a fairly tight geographic area; we can pay more for your house.

When it comes time for you to sell your house, make sure that you work with a local investor. Your investor should see your home, meet you in person, and have a phone conversation. 

This is important to you because your local investor understands the market. When they look at the house, their job isn't just to decide if it's worth buying; they're trying to determine what needs need fixing and how much those fixes will cost them.

We've purchased dozens of homes from sellers who previously had a contract to sell their home to an out-of-state investor. It fell apart and they leaned on us instead. 


Were often able to get them a better price than the out-of-state investor could. In some cases, our local West Michigan real estate knowledge of the area meant that we were even able to buy the home for more than they had agreed to sell it for with the other party!


We've been in business since 2016 and have closed more than 1000 transactions. We're not a huge company, but we are fast and responsive. We buy houses in Grand Rapids and throughout West Michigan.


Our typical seller is  someone who needs to sell their home quickly for a variety of reasons: job relocation, divorce, death in the family, and so on. We also work with people who are upside down on their mortgage or have bad credit.


If you're looking for a local real estate investment company that will help you sell your house quickly, we would love to have a discussion with you. Often times we are able to give you an offer the first time we have a conversation.  We don't make our living from fees, we make money by buying houses.

We buy houses in Grand Rapids and we can close fast! If you're tired of owning a house that is costing you money every month then we would love to hear from you. Not only do we pay cash for your home but we'll help with any repairs and may even be able to give you time to live in the home after closing. We're pretty creative when it comes to making this happen :) One of our clients negotiated that she and her husband could live in the home for two years after closing!


We buy houses and we're ready to make you an offer. If we can't help we'll find someone who will, but we always try our best first!

We do everything on our end to make the process as easy and painless for you as possible! If we can't help we'll find someone who will. We always try our best first!


If you're looking for a quick, no-nonsense sale, reach out to us! We would be happy to provide you with a free home evaluation.
