Customer experience
Top 50% locally
OpenOffer We Buy Houses has a strong customer experience profile. Its lifetime feedback was overwhelmingly positive, backed by a moderate review record. In the latest 3 months, recent ratings improved slightly from an already strong lifetime average. Its Customer Experience score of 86/100 places it above the middle of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 30 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, with 29 five-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2021. 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 0.14% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.03 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. Recent feedback was uniformly positive. All 11 ratings over 12 months, 7 ratings over 6 months and 6 ratings over 3 months were five-star, through October 22, 2026.
Rating trends. Ratings improved slightly from an already strong lifetime average. The 3-month average rose from 4.97 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.03 stars, or 0.7%. The five-star share rose from 96.7% to 100.0%, up 3.3 percentage points. This was a small numerical change across 6 recent ratings.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 18 of 24 detailed customer reviews (75%), followed by honesty and transparency in 8 (33%) and compassionate treatment in 7 (29%). Other common themes included good communication in 6 (25%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 26 of 30 reviews (87%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 1 concerned another business and 1 concerned property buyers. The remaining 2 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 30 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

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.
