Customer experience
Top 5% in WI
Captain Save A Home has a strong customer experience profile. Its substantial review record was overwhelmingly positive. In the latest 3 months, recent ratings improved slightly from an already strong lifetime average. 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: 107 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, with 106 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. 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 0.46% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.11 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. Recent feedback was uniformly positive. All 31 ratings over 12 months, 27 ratings over 6 months and 27 ratings over 3 months were five-star, through October 31, 2026.
Rating trends. Ratings improved slightly from an already strong lifetime average. The 3-month average rose from 4.96 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.04 stars, or 0.8%. The five-star share rose from 99.1% to 100.0%, up 0.9 percentage points. This was a small numerical change across 27 recent ratings.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 20 of 31 detailed customer reviews (65%), followed by good communication in 12 (39%) and fast closings in 10 (32%). Other common themes included fair pricing in 9 (29%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 46 of 107 reviews (43%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 42 concerned business partners, initial contacts without reported outcomes, property buyers and other products or services. The remaining 19 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 107 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Recent rates averaged 4.5 reviews per month over 6 months, 9 over 3 months and 2.6 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 1.1. The record contains 107 reviews dating back to 2018. This gives the recent comparisons a substantial historical basis.

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.
