6-month trend Stable

RC Home Buyers has a strong customer experience profile. Every rating in its lifetime review record was five-star. The latest 3 months contained 2 5-star ratings — just 2 ratings, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 93/100 places it around the top 10% of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.

Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was uniformly positive: 52 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, all five-star. 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 0.24% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.06 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.

Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 10 ratings averaging 5.0/5. The latest 6 months contained 7 ratings averaging 5.0/5. The latest 3 months contained 2 5-star ratings, through October 22, 2026.

Rating trends. Ratings held steady at 5.0 across the lifetime record and the 3-month period — a change of 0 stars, or 0%. The five-star share remained 100%. The newest sample contained only 2 ratings, too few to establish a broad current pattern.

Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 15 of 28 detailed customer reviews (54%), followed by fast closings in 12 (43%) and honesty and transparency in 12 (43%). Other common themes included good communication in 9 (32%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.

Review relevance. We classified 33 of 52 reviews (63%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 3 concerned another business and 1 concerned property buyers. The remaining 15 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 52 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Website assessment. The website was accessible when checked on September 29, 2026. The website scored 65/100 for depth and transparency. It includes buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.

Business details. We identified Phil G Arthur as the company’s owner and CEO. The BBB records we reviewed identify Phil G Arthur as CEO/owner. We could not confirm its business structure. Its website identifies it as a direct buyer. BBB lists 21 Days 2 Close and Royal Court Homes as alternate business names. A seller describes a proposed wrap purchase.

Track record. BBB lists June 10, 2020 as its business-start date and August 12, 2022 as its profile-opening date. Reviews on file date back to July 20, 2021. Reviews appear in 24 of the 64 months covered by our records. The longest period without a recorded review was 18 months.

Complaints and red flags. We identified 1 relevant complaint. The customer alleges RC Home Buyers changed an agreed closing to depend on finding another buyer and continued presenting the transaction as active without saying it had expired or been voided. RC Home Buyers says the agreement expired and was voided because the customer was insufficiently responsive and failed to perform upkeep and coordination responsibilities. The parties dispute the contract terms, communications, performance, and transaction status; referenced contracts and screenshots were not available for text review, and no customer-reported remedy or final outcome is retained. This account remains unverified.

Next steps if you’re considering RC 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.

  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.
