About ACF Buys Homes

Company bio

ACF Buys Homes is a cash property buyer operating in the Austin, Corpus Christi, and Georgetown areas of Texas. It's been in business since 2020. Antione Fernandes founded and owns the company, which identifies as family-owned and describes him as an Army veteran. The business buys homes to remodel and resell, considering properties from those needing minor updates to complete teardowns. On direct purchases, sellers can skip repairs, cleaning, and agent commissions and have closing costs covered. You choose the closing date. If a direct sale isn't suitable, the company says its team of licensed Realtors can review other selling options with you.

6-month rating No recent ratings
6-month trend Not enough evidence

ACF Buys Homes has a strong customer experience profile. Its lifetime feedback was overwhelmingly positive, backed by a moderate review record. No new ratings were available in the latest 6 months to assess current experiences. Its Customer Experience score of 91/100 places it near the middle of comparable cash buyers with multiple locations.

Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 46 rated reviews averaged 4.9/5, with 45 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. Reviews dated back to 2021. These figures combine the company and its owned branches. 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 0.21% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.05 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.

Recent ratings. No new ratings appeared over the latest 12, 6 or 3 months, through October 19, 2026. There was no recent rating evidence to assess.

Rating trends. We did not have enough comparable lifetime and recent rating data to assess a trend.

Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 21 of 35 detailed customer reviews (60%), followed by good communication in 16 (46%) and fast closings in 13 (37%). Other common themes included honesty and transparency in 10 (29%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.

Review relevance. We classified 41 of 46 reviews (89%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 2 concerned business partners. The remaining 3 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 46 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Company-wide activity · As of October 19, 2026 — our latest collection date.

ACF Buys Homes has limited recent activity evidence. No new reviews appeared over the past 6 months, and we lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. Its Activity score of 51/100 ranks #27 of 30 comparable cash buyers with multiple locations.

Recent review volume. The company received fewer reviews than similar companies across all 3 periods. We counted 0 reviews over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 5.5, 2.5, and 1, respectively. These figures combine the company and its owned branches.

Recent review pace. No new reviews appeared over the latest 6 months, so we leave its pace classification unassessed. Its 6- and 3-month rates were 0× its lifetime average pace, compared with 0× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.7. The record contains 46 reviews dating back to 2021.

Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was October 5, 2024 — more than 2 years old as of our last data refresh. No reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 4 years.

Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.

Next steps if you’re considering ACF Buys Homes

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.

  1. Get the complete offer in writing

    Confirm the purchase price, closing date, seller-paid costs, inspection or cancellation rights, and whether the contract can be assigned to another buyer.

  2. 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.

  3. Compare the likely net proceeds

    Request at least 2 cash offers when possible. If time allows, compare them with an estimate of what you could net from an as-is listing after fees, repairs, and carrying costs.

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.
