Our ratings & analysis
Overall score
#25 of 28 similar
Five Boro Home Buyers has a low overall score, mainly because there’s little customer feedback to work with. Its lifetime average is 4.8 stars across only 6 ratings. There isn’t enough feedback to assess how consistently the company performs. Its business credentials are solid overall. We have no reviews from the past 6 months, leaving less insight into current customer experience. That doesn’t establish that the company has stopped buying homes.

Customer experience
Bottom 50% locally
Five Boro Home Buyers has a generally positive customer experience profile. Its small review record was mostly positive, but limited evidence constrained the assessment. The latest 12 months contained 1 5-star rating. No new ratings appeared in the latest 6 months. Its Customer Experience score of 63/100 places it below the middle of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 6 rated reviews averaged 4.8/5, with 5 five-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2017. 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 0.03% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.01 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 1 5-star rating, through October 22, 2026. No ratings appeared over the latest 6 and 3 months.
Rating trends. Ratings improved. The 12-month average rose from 4.83 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.17 stars, or 3.4%. The five-star share rose from 83.3% to 100.0%, up 16.7 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 1 five-star rating. It was too small to establish a lasting improvement. The gap in new ratings prevented a more current trend assessment.
Common themes. Review-theme analysis was unavailable for this review population. We could not identify common themes from the available analysis.
Review relevance. A reconciled review-relevance breakdown was unavailable. We did not treat unclassified reviews as irrelevant.
Recent activity
Bottom 50% locally
Company activity · As of October 22, 2026 — our latest collection date.
Five Boro Home Buyers 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 50/100 ranks joint #665 of 757 comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Recent review volume. The recent review record is quiet, with no new reviews over the latest 6 months. We counted 1 review over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
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 1.5× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0.1 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.1. The record contains 6 reviews dating back to 2017.
Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was April 21, 2026 — about 6 months old as of our last data refresh. No reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 6 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.
Credibility signals
Top 50% locally
Five Boro Home Buyers has an established credibility profile. We identified the company’s 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 current leadership, and unconfirmed business structure. We found no specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags in the retained source material, so there were no deductions.
Verification. We identified Google, BBB, Facebook, and Yelp profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list the profile as not accredited. BBB did not list a rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. Five Boro 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 70/100 for depth and transparency. It includes buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.
Business details. We could not identify the company’s current leadership. We could not confirm its business structure. Its website identifies it as a direct buyer. No related businesses or DBAs were identified.
Track record. BBB lists April 30, 2015 as its profile-opening date. Reviews on file date back to December 5, 2017. Our records contain 6 dated reviews from 2017-12-05 through the accepted cutoff of 2026-10-22. There is too little review history to describe a reliable pattern.
Complaints and red flags. No specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags were identified in the retained source material.

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.
