Customer experience
Top 5% in FL
KM Home Buyers has a strong customer experience profile. Its substantial review record was overwhelmingly positive. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 2 5-star ratings — just 3 ratings, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 94/100 places it around the top 4% of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 155 rated reviews averaged 4.9/5, with 150 five-star ratings and 2 one-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2018. Our methodology adjusts small rating samples toward the typical company rating, then maps the adjusted rating to a score and applies a small review-depth deduction that decreases as the record grows. Volume credit grows with every rating, with an additional small adjustment that grows fastest over the first few hundred ratings and then slows. It strengthens the distance from the neutral, sample-adjusted 4.5-star signal; this record received a 0.63% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.15 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 11 ratings averaging 4.6/5. The latest 6 months contained 5 ratings averaging 4.2/5. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 2 5-star ratings, through October 31, 2026.
Rating trends. The 3-month average fell from 4.92 lifetime to 3.67 — down 1.25 stars, or 25.4%. The one-star share rose from 1.3% to 33.3%, up 32.0 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 2 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. It was too small to establish a sustained decline.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 65 of 104 detailed customer reviews (63%), followed by fast closings in 47 (45%) and fair pricing in 44 (42%). Other common themes included good communication in 42 (40%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 130 of 155 reviews (84%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 9 concerned property buyers, 3 concerned business partners and 1 concerned initial contacts without reported outcomes. The remaining 12 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 155 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.

Credibility signals
Top 50% in FL
KM Home Buyers has a strong credibility profile (#82 of 180 in FL). We identified the company’s leadership and buying model, supported by a broad online presence. We have 8 years of documented review history. The main limits on its score were website depth and transparency, unconfirmed business structure, and limited company-history information. We identified 1 relevant complaint, but it did not result in a deduction.
Verification. We identified Google, BBB, Facebook, and Yelp profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list the profile as not accredited. They list an A+ rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. KM Home Buyers has not claimed its directory profile or completed enhanced screening with our team.
Website assessment. The website was accessible when checked on September 29, 2026. The website scored 80/100 for depth and transparency. It includes team information, buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.
Business details. The BBB records we reviewed identify Mark Detrio as president. We could not confirm its business structure. Its website identifies it as a direct buyer. No related businesses or DBAs were identified. An investor describes buying a wholesale property.
Track record. BBB lists October 17, 2018 as its profile-opening date. Reviews on file date back to March 9, 2018. Reviews appear in 70 of the 104 months covered by our records.
Complaints and red flags. We identified 1 relevant complaint in a Google review. A seller alleges undisclosed third-party marketing and unannounced buyer visits. The company says a contractor wanted the property and attributes closing confusion to the title company. The seller confirms eventual closing at a good price; agreements and access permissions were unavailable. This account remains unverified.

Next steps if you’re considering KM Home Buyers
Even with a well-supported company record, the quality of an individual offer comes down to its price, terms, and the entity responsible for closing.

Confirm the purchase price, closing date, seller-paid costs, inspection or cancellation rights, and whether the contract can be assigned to another buyer.
-
Verify who is buying your home
Confirm the legal business name, request proof of funds, and identify the title or closing company. If the brand has multiple offices, verify which office or entity is responsible for your offer.
-
Compare the likely net proceeds

How we researched and scored this company
Methodology
We research each company using its website, business profiles, and third-party customer reviews. We use company sources to understand its services and terms, and distinguish those claims from independent evidence. When available, we also draw on interviews with company representatives and sellers, and relevant public records.
When there is enough evidence, we calculate an overall score out of 100 using 3 categories:
- Customer experience (67.5%) reflects customer satisfaction, based primarily on average customer ratings and the number of reviews supporting them.
- Recent activity (20%) reflects recent review volume, how recently the company received a review, and how its recent review pace compares with its history. Reviews are a signal of activity, not a count of completed home purchases.
- Credibility (12.5%) considers business verification, website transparency, public engagement, and documented operating history.
Use the company or location identified on this page when interpreting the evidence. A broader company record may not describe every local office. Review history is separate from the company’s founding date.
Limited evidence can restrict what we can assess. A company may appear without a score, and a small review sample may not represent a typical seller’s experience. Scores summarize the evidence available to us; they do not predict an offer price or guarantee a sale or service quality.
