We Buy Ugly Houses^® history

We Buy Ugly Houses^® was created in 1996 and operates with over 1,100 local, independent home buyers. Since then, We Buy Ugly Houses franchisees have purchased over 140,000 houses nationwide.

We're all-cash home buyers.

We Buy Ugly Houses^® franchisees are home buyers who purchase “ugly” houses. This includes houses that are difficult to sell for a number of reasons, and also houses that have their owners in ugly, captive situations. We pay cash to purchase these houses from their owners, rehab them, then sell them to investors or buyers, or rent them to tenants.

In doing so, we’re home buyers who help the owners get out of their “ugly” housing situation so they can finally move onto a new life, and we provide outstanding opportunities for renters and first-time home buyers while dramatically improving neighborhoods throughout the process.

We Buy Ugly Houses^® franchisees

Our franchisees span 46 states, and we're still expanding. The We Buy Ugly Houses^® business model includes systems and standards that help to ensure the responsible business practices and high ethical standards of our franchisees.

The We Buy Ugly Houses^® franchise is a low-cost opportunity for investors interested in building wealth through their own real estate investment business. Our unique franchise opportunity includes proprietary software that helps franchisees build their business by giving them the tools to evaluate houses for purchase and estimate repairs. We also provide mass advertising campaigns and direct selling campaigns that help our franchisees identify investors and home buyers with a stake in area neighborhoods.

We Buy Ugly Houses^®  provides consistent support to our franchisees. We help them build their real estate portfolios by acquiring homes at discount prices, renovating them, and then either selling them to home buyers or renting them.
