Customer experience
Top 5% in MD
Home Buyers Express 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 94/100 places it around the top 3% of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was uniformly positive: 110 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, all five-star. Reviews dated back to 2020. 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 0.47% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.12 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 18 ratings averaging 5.0/5. The latest 6 months contained 6 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 51 of 59 detailed customer reviews (86%), followed by fast closings in 30 (51%) and fair pricing in 26 (44%). Other common themes included honesty and transparency in 23 (39%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 68 of 110 reviews (62%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 21 concerned other products or services, property buyers, another business, business partners and initial contacts without reported outcomes. We excluded 15 duplicate entries and 6 reviews with too little text from sentiment analysis. All 110 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Recent review pace. Its 6-month review pace is stable, at 0.7× its lifetime average pace. Its latest 3-month pace was 0.4×, compared with 1× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 1 review per month over 6 months, 0.7 over 3 months and 1.5 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 1.5. The record contains 110 reviews dating back to 2020. A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.

Credibility signals
Top 25% in MD
Home Buyers Express has a very strong credibility profile. We identified the company’s leadership, business structure, and buying model. BBB lists 2011 as the business-start year. We have 6 years of documented review history. The main limit on its score was website depth and transparency. 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 and BBB profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list accreditation since 2020. They list an A+ rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. Home Buyers Express 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 90/100 for depth and transparency. It includes company background, team information, buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.
Business details. We identified Andrea Perry as the company’s president. Its website names Stephen Perry as chief operating officer. BBB lists the business as an LLC. The business information we reviewed identifies it as a direct buyer. BBB lists OP Investments, LLC as an alternate business name. A seller describes being advised to list instead of accepting a cash purchase.
Track record. BBB lists January 26, 2011 as its business-start date, January 26, 2011 as its incorporation date, and March 24, 2020 as its profile-opening date. Reviews on file date back to August 30, 2020. Reviews appear in 40 of the 75 months covered by our records. The longest period without a recorded review was 6 months.

Next steps if you’re considering Home Buyers Express
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
