Fumbling Flippers & Co. said they can pay more, why not choose them?

So many times we have had sellers who end up coming back because of bad deals, added fees, surprises or bad offers because Fumbling Flippers & Co. has no experience. Or investors who can't really close and were trying to make a buck assigning a contract meaning they never had the money to close to begin with. See our Blog Post About "Inexperienced or Dishonest Buyers" for more details and call us to save headaches!

Can you ensure confidentiality and protect my privacy during the selling process?

We understand that selling a property can be a sensitive matter, here's how we help to ensure a discreet selling process:

1. Discreet property visits: When we need to visit your property for an assessment, we maintain discretion and arrange at a time that is most convenient and private for you.

2. No public listings: Unlike traditional property sales, we don't list your property on public platforms or advertise it openly before we buy it. This ensures that your sale remains private and reduces unwanted attention.

3. Confidential communications: All our communications with you, whether by phone, email, or in-person, are kept strictly confidential.

If you have any specific concerns or requests related to privacy or confidentiality, we will work diligently to accommodate your needs and find solutions that make you comfortable.
