About
The buyer who
handles it himself.
Arran Buys Homes is one person and a crew, not a franchise with a call center. He's a U.S. Army infantry combat veteran, and he still runs things the same way. When you call, you get Arran. When someone walks your property, that's Arran. When you sit down at closing, he's across the table.
The Story
Why buy the houses nobody else wants?
Most people looking at a house with a failing roof, thirty years of deferred maintenance, and a garage full of someone's belongings see a problem. Arran sees the house it used to be, and the house it can be again.
He grew up in Melbourne, went to the University of Central Florida, and served in the U.S. Army infantry before any of this. That background comes through in how he works more than in how he talks about it: keep your word, tell people the truth even when it's inconvenient, and finish what you start.
He started buying houses here because he kept watching the same thing happen. Someone inherits a place they can't afford to fix, or a landlord gets worn down by one bad tenant too many, and the only option anyone offers them is to list it and wait. So the business is built around the opposite. Buy it as-is, pay cash, close on whatever date works for the seller, then do the actual work of putting the house back together. That last part is the real credential, which is why the projects page exists.

Not a Fit? He'll Say So.
If listing your house on the open market would net you meaningfully more and you have the time and condition to do it, Arran will tell you that on the first call. He'd rather lose a deal than talk someone into the wrong one.
How He Works
Six things that don't change
These aren't marketing lines. They're the reasons sellers refer their neighbors.
He Shows His Work
Arran walks the property, prices the work it needs, and then explains how he reached the number. You'll understand what's driving it instead of being handed a figure and told to take it or leave it.
Most buyers hand you a number and leave you guessing. Arran won't. He'll tell you what the roof costs, what the AC costs, and what it takes to make the house sellable again.
If something in that math looks wrong to you, say so. He would rather talk it through than have you sign something you don't understand.
One Person, Start to Finish
No handoffs between an acquisitions rep, a transaction coordinator, and someone you've never spoken to. The person who makes the promise is the person who keeps it.
You won't get passed around. The man who answers the phone is the same man who walks your house, writes the offer, and sits at the closing table.
No call center. No script. No new person to explain your whole situation to every time you call.
Honest About the Tradeoff
A cash sale trades some price for speed, certainty, and zero effort or expense on your part. That's a real tradeoff and he'll explain it plainly instead of pretending it doesn't exist.
A cash sale buys you speed and a sure thing. It does not get you top dollar. That is the trade, and pretending otherwise would be a lie.
If listing the house would put more money in your pocket and you have the time to wait, he will say so. That costs him the deal. He would rather tell you the truth.
No Pressure, Ever
You get a written offer and time to think about it. Have an attorney review it. Talk to your family. Get a second opinion. If the answer is no, that's a completely fine answer.
You get the offer in writing. Then you get time. Sleep on it, call your kids, have a lawyer read it.
If the answer is no, that is the end of it. Nobody will call you five more times trying to talk you into it.
The Hard Stuff Is the Point
Liens, code violations, probate, hostile tenants, a foreclosure date on the calendar. These are the calls other buyers hang up on. They're the ones worth making here.
Probate. Liens. Back taxes. Code violations. A tenant who won't leave. A foreclosure date already set.
Most buyers hear one of those and disappear. These are the houses Arran looks for, because those are the ones where he can actually help.
Local, Not National
He buys in Central Florida because he knows what a roof costs here, what a permit takes in this county, and what a neighborhood is actually worth. That knowledge is why the numbers hold up.
He grew up in Melbourne, went to UCF, and never left. He knows these streets and what it really costs to fix a house here.
That is why his numbers hold up. He is not guessing from an office in another state.
