We Are True Cash Buyers
There are a lot of "investors" who make Offers and claim to be Cash Buyers, but aren't. In reality, these people are middlemen, trying to tie up properties, with no intention of buying them, then trying to collect a fee by assigning those properties to TRUE cash Buyers. These "middleman fees" are unnecessary and eat into your profits.
Dear Seller,
If you’re just meeting us for the first time, my name is Cole Turnbull I’m the founder of SOS House Partners. We understand there are a lot of “shady characters” in the real estate investing space.
So, we want to make sure you understand we are DIFFERENT.
1 – Our focus is always on serving the person who contacts us. We don’t care whether you sell your house to us. We’re focused on solving problems, and if a Cash Offer doesn’t solve your problem, then we’ll recommend a different solution.
2 – If you want to see ‘Proof of Funds,’ we’ll happily show you a Proof of Funds letter.
3 – With our partners (operating in multiple markets throughout the U.S. and Canada) we have purchased over 300 properties, and we are happy to provide ‘References’ from our recent seller clients.
4 – We use our investment business to impact our local community. To date, through ImpactClub®, the philanthropic component of our businesses, more than $2.5 million has been donated to local charities.
Anyhow, let me just repeat:
You are right to be skeptical, even distrustful of the things you have been told, or heard, from folks in this industry. I have been at this for over a decade, and it never ceases to amaze me by how many horror stories I hear, from our sellers, the kind of crap, and shenanigans, that fake investors have tried to pull on them.
Be smart.
Do your homework.
And if you have any questions, I won’t bullshit you. (Being a straight-shooter is something people appreciate about us.)
-Cole
PS: Here are the last 10 properties, between my partners and I, have purchased for cash. Plus, the Stories behind them.

We purchased this home for cash

Then we renovated it & transformed it
Backstory on This Property:
The homeowner contacted us from our FB ad. This house needed major repairs. The ceiling was caving in from a roof leak. The house was unlivable. They wanted to fix this up. But they just didn’t have the capital to do so. We offered to Partner with them.
In the end, though, they just wanted this headache to be gone!
So, we provided the Cash offer.

Backstory on This Property:
The homeowner contacted us in need of a fast sale.
This house was just outdated. It had good bones, but as you can see, lots of clutter. The cabinets were 30-years old. The carpet needed to be replaced. The bathrooms were dark, outdated, and needed love.
We offered to Partner with them (to help them extract their ROI), but they choose to take our Cash Offer instead. The Seller had already purchased another property out of state, and was eager to get on with their life down in Alabama.
So, we provided the Cash offer.
As you can see, this property needed about $40K in work to really renovate it properly, to bring it up to the Pinterest Home level that we are known for creating.
This house is now like NEW.

Backstory on This Property:
This relationship came from a call off of our website, from gentleman who was interested in getting a Cash Offer on his area property.
He liked the fact that there was a Partner option and that we are straight-shooters.
He also knew one of the founders of Project Horse, a local charity, who was a recent winner at one of our ImpactClub® events.
He was a pastor looking to relocate down to North Carolina with his wife.
After a COVID related loss, he was looking to get a new fresh start. New profession and cheaper housing.
Their home was their only retirement plan so it was important to them to maximize their ROI.
I laid out 2 options for them:
#1: Cash offer and I could close in 7-14 days.
#2: They partner with us and our execution team and we turn his property into a Pinterest home. He is handy so was willing to do most of the work, and for the things he couldn’t do my team would step in and knock it out. This would require $20-30k in upfront capital to make this home turn key.
Originally, they wanted to take the Cash Offer because they just wanted to move on with their lives.
He asked me, “If you were me, what would you do?”
I told him if I had the $$ I would definitely do the Partner option.
It would allow for him to extract an extra $30-45k in profits versus taking the cash offer.
The timeline is 90-120 days versus 7-14 days but the extra cash was huge.
Especially since it was their only retirement.
He took my advice and that’s what we did.

Backstory on This Property:
This young lady from requested a Cash Offer via an online form. From there, we scheduled an on-site inspection within 24 hours of the first contact.
The next day, we had a written Cash Offer in her hands.
The Seller made it very clear that she wanted to sell the property “As-is.” She didn’t want the hassle of listing it on the market. Going through home-inspections, appraisals, buyer’s financing. All things that could potentially delay a closing for weeks or months. Or potentially, cost her thousands of extra dollars she didn’t have.
She was relocating to Alabama to live near family, and didn’t want to be bothered with fixing the property. She knew she would be leaving money (extra profits) on the table. But, she was ok with that. She wanted to be out and on the road to Alabama in less than 2 weeks. Timing was of the utmost importance to her, which is quite common with many of our Seller clients.
We told her that closing quickly was our specialty and scheduled the closing for two weeks later.
Win-Win-Win
We performed, and she was on her way to her beautiful new house in Alabama.

Backstory on This Property:
Some people prefer SURE BETS.
Here’s a question for you:
If you had to choose between selling your home in 2 weeks for $240K. Or selling it in 90–150 days for $334–$340K, which one would you choose?
The first option is Guaranteed. It’s a Cash Offer. No risk. No hassle. Sign and close in 14 days or less.
Whereas the 2nd option requires extensive renovations. The total cost for the Scope of Work on this house was around $40K. And let’s assume that we Partner with you and get the $40K financed. Meaning you wouldn’t pay a dime until settlement occurred. Our Execution Team would handle all of the details. Contractors, Designers, Stagers, Inspectors, Appraisers, Photographers. We got you covered.
Which option would you go with?
This was the exact question that one of our Seller clients, Angela, had to answer. Angela was introduced to us by another past client (we bought their house for Cash, too.)
For Angela, it was time to make the decision. She decided to take our Cash Offer (option 1).
The SURE BET.
Collect the guaranteed profits and move on.
What’s interesting is sometimes the best ROI is not money. Lots of our clients want the speed and peace of mind. No hassle. No headaches.

Backstory on This Property:
A local real estate agent reached out to my partner in regards to his client that needed their home sold fast.
The house wasn’t in any kind of condition that he could list it for sale. He knew he needed an investor (us) that had the ability to close in 14 days or less with no contingencies.
No home inspection.
No appraisal.
And no repairs.
In other words, sold 100% “As-Is.”
The Seller was in a bit of a financial bind and needed Cash quickly.
He told us that if we made a fair offer to his client, he would be willing to move forward quickly.
That same day, we went out to the property to do an observation. Mainly just to make sure house was still standing. Foundation was solid and walls were intact. Cosmetically, the house needed work, but that’s our specialty.
Within 24 hours, we made the homeowner a fair all-cash offer, and closed less than 2 weeks later.
The seller couldn’t have been happier.

Backstory on This Property:
My business partner met this gentleman after he submitted the Cash Offer request on our website. In talking with him, we learned he was in financial distress and needed a quick sale.
His first question was, “How quick can we close?”
We told him that we could close as soon as the title company could convey clear title to us. Typically 5-7 days, but no longer than 14 days.
His second question, “What’s our best offer?”
After we made it out to the property the next day, to do a quick 15 minute on-site inspection, we got to work to provide him an all-cash offer within 24 hours.
We never make blind offers, as it is a disservice to the homeowner we work with.
The scope of work to fix a property, to make it into a Pinterest “HGTV” home varies greatly from one house to the next.
One house might need $10K in renovation. The next $100K. Clearly, this amount of work is what impacts our Cash Offer Price.
24 hours later, he had a written Cash Offer in hand.
He let us know that he felt the offer was more than he expected, and was ready to move forward.
We closed 10 days later.
He got his Cash.
We got started on renovating another home.

Backstory on This Property:
This is a funny one, when the homeowner first contacted us. She actually thought we were a different company altogether. Some big hedge fund or something.
Nope, that’s not us.
We’re operate locally in several markets.
Initially, their plan was to wait a bit longer before selling the property. Perhaps in the Spring. As seen in the photos, the home was being renovated.
It was a rental property.
But then we got the text, “Hi, I have decided not to wait as long as we had discussed on the sale of this house. Please text me with the earliest appt. available for a walk through.”
Within 24 hours, we had an appointment booked to see the property.
The homeowner told us what they wanted.
We crunched the numbers.
And sure enough, their requested figure was a figure that we could make work of us, too.
Win – Win.
And now, because of the renovation, the community will win too, as we increase the property values for the neighborhood, and ultimately, can funnel some of the earned profits back into our philanthropic efforts.

Backstory on This Property:
The seller of this “unpolished diamond” inherited the property and wanted a quick sale.
This property needed about 50K worth of work to renovate it. She thought about doing the renovation, but quickly realized it would be too much aggravation, time, and money.
The thought of the extra profit was enticing, but it didn’t outweigh the 4-6 months it would take to turn the property into something that could return her investment.
So instead, she opted for speed, which is a Cash Offer from us.
One where we commit to closing in 7-14 days.
Sold 100% As-Is.
No closing costs.
No fine print.
And that’s exactly what we did.
She couldn’t have been happier. She got rid of this property and got her Cash in just days.
Another Seller served.

Backstory on This Property:
A real estate agent friend of ours, reached out to us. He had a seller-client that was in a bind.
They needed to sell quickly and didn’t want to list the property on the market.
The house needed a complete overhaul.
Money-wise it would have taken $75K in repairs to bring this house up to speed. Not only did they not have the money, but they were also on a time crunch. They wanted to sell and walk away with cash in hand in less than 14 days.
Traditional Sale was out of the question.
Speed was mission-critical.
So, he connected us to the Sellers. My partner quickly deployed our Execution Team to inspect the property 12 hours later, just to make sure the bones/structure were solid.
Everything checked out, so we made the Sellers a fair All-Cash offer.
A Win-Win.
We closed 14 days later, and they couldn’t have been happier.
