Local Kentucky home buyer & licensed broker
No repairs, no showings, and no agent commission when I buy directly. Get a fair cash offer or flexible terms from a licensed local broker.
Your options
Start with a straightforward conversation, then pick the path that fits your situation.
I buy as-is, so there are no repairs and no showings. You choose the closing date, as few as 7 days when title is clear and we’re both ready. No agent commission on my side. In exchange for speed and certainty, my offer may be lower than what a full listing could bring.
If your home is in good shape and you have time, listing with a Realtor can bring a higher price. I’m a licensed broker, so I can do that too, with the usual commission and costs. Learn more at lavelljackson.com.
I’ll go over both numbers with you and tell you which one I think fits your situation. When you sell directly to me, I am the buyer, not your agent.

Meet your local buyer
I am a licensed Kentucky real estate broker with RE/MAX Five Star Properties. I’m also a retired U.S. Army veteran and I invest in Kentucky real estate. My local experience helps me give homeowners clear choices, whether that means I purchase a property directly for my own account or help them explore a traditional listing.
When I buy directly, I am the buyer—not your agent. If you choose to list, that is a separate brokerage relationship and service. I will explain the difference so you can make an informed decision.

When you sell directly to me, there's no agent commission on my side and no fee to get an offer. I can also cover the seller's normal closing costs. Your mortgage payoff and prorated property taxes still come out of the sale proceeds. We'll put exactly who pays what in writing before you agree.
I look at the home's likely value, the repairs it needs, the market, and the terms we agree on. I explain the numbers so you can compare them to listing.
Yes, I'm a licensed Kentucky broker. When I buy from you directly I'm the buyer, not your agent, and you're free to talk to your own attorney or agent first.

Most are real businesses, but the industry isn't tightly regulated, so check before you sign. Ask about fees, proof of funds, how the offer was calculated, and assignment language. See our guide, Are Cash Home Buyers Legit.
