Is Locust Investments legit?
Evidence supports a business presence. Locust Investments appears to be a legitimate, established business based on the verification checks we could complete. However, we found limited recent third-party activity, so we can’t confirm how active the company is right now.

Our ratings & analysis
Overall score
Locust Investments has no reviews in the past 6 months, with none in the past 12 months either. Its established record averages 4.6 stars across 13 ratings; credibility is a weaker area, with no matched BBB profile in our data. The small review record and lack of recent feedback limit what we can say about consistent customer experience.
Customer experience
Locust Investments has a generally positive customer experience profile. Most lifetime ratings were five-star, while 1 low rating reduced the lifetime average. No new ratings were available in the latest 6 months to assess current experiences. Its Customer Experience score of 74/100 does not have a sufficiently large comparable-company group for a reliable rank.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was mostly positive: 13 rated reviews averaged 4.6/5, with 11 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. 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 0.06% 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. No new ratings appeared over the latest 12, 6 or 3 months, through October 21, 2026. There was no recent rating evidence to assess.
Rating trends. We did not have enough comparable lifetime and recent rating data to assess a trend.
Common themes. No detailed customer reviews were available for theme analysis, so we could not identify common themes.
Review relevance. We classified 0 of 13 reviews (0%) as relevant to consumer experiences with the company. Another 6 concerned other products or services. The remaining 7 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 13 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Company activity · As of October 21, 2026 — our latest collection date.
Locust Investments has limited recent activity evidence. No new reviews appeared over the past 6 months, and we lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. A reliable Activity rank among similar companies is unavailable.
Recent review volume. The recent review record is quiet, with no new reviews over the latest 6 months. We counted 0 reviews over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. A reliable recent-volume comparison with similar companies is unavailable.
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 0× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.2. The record contains 13 reviews dating back to 2020.
Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was May 17, 2024 — more than 2 years old as of our last data refresh. No reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 5 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.
Credibility signals
Locust Investments has a moderately documented credibility profile. We have 6 years of documented review history. The main limits on its score were an unavailable website depth and transparency assessment, 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, Facebook, and Yelp profiles. We don’t have a matched BBB listing on file, so we couldn’t assess its BBB status. Its Google Business Profile was verified. Locust Investments 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. We do not have a website depth and transparency assessment on file.
Business details. We could not identify the company’s current leadership. We could not confirm its business structure. We could not confirm its buying model. No related businesses or DBAs were identified.
Track record. We could not confirm a company start date. Reviews on file date back to March 7, 2020. Reviews appear in 9 of the 80 months covered by our records. Review activity is intermittent.
Complaints and red flags. No specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags were identified in the retained source material.
Verification checklist
4 of 5 baseline checks are supported by the evidence in our records.
Baseline checks
- Business identity: Confirmed through Google Business Profile
- Current business presence: Website accessible at last check; published phone number
- Public feedback: 13 accepted third-party reviews
- Established public history: Accepted review activity since 2020
- Recent activity: Latest recorded review: about 2 years before collection
These checks establish a business presence, not the quality of customer experience. Before moving forward, confirm that the company is currently buying in your market and request recent proof of funds.

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.
