Customer experience
Bottom 50% in SC
Nice Guys Buying Houses has a generally positive customer experience profile. Most lifetime ratings were five-star, while 2 low ratings reduced the lifetime average. The latest 3 months contained 1 5-star rating — just 1 rating, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 82/100 places it near the middle of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was mostly positive: 24 rated reviews averaged 4.6/5, with 21 five-star ratings and 2 one-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 0.12% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.02 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 1 1-star rating and 2 5-star ratings. The latest 6 months contained 1 5-star rating. The latest 3 months contained 1 5-star rating, through October 22, 2026.
Rating trends. Ratings improved. The 3-month average rose from 4.63 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.38 stars, or 8.1%. The five-star share rose from 87.5% to 100.0%, up 12.5 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 1 five-star rating. It was too small to establish a lasting improvement.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 8 of 13 detailed customer reviews (62%), followed by honesty and transparency in 6 (46%) and fair pricing in 5 (38%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 17 of 24 reviews (71%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 1 concerned property buyers. The remaining 6 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 24 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Top 50% in SC
Company activity · As of October 22, 2026 — our latest collection date.
Nice Guys Buying Houses has recent review activity. The sparse recent review record limits the pace assessment. Its 6-month review volume is lower than similar companies. We lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. Its Activity score of 60/100 ranks joint #256 of 456 comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Recent review volume. 3-month counts are equal to the median for similar companies; 12-month and 6-month counts are lower than the median for similar companies. We counted 3 reviews over 12 months, 1 over 6 months and 1 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 5, 2, and 1, respectively.
Recent review pace. The recent review record is too sparse for a formal pace classification. Its 6-month rate was 0.8× its lifetime average pace, compared with 1.5× over 3 months and 1.1× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0.2 reviews per month over 6 months, 0.3 over 3 months and 0.3 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.2. The record contains 24 reviews dating back to 2017. A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.
Review freshness. Its latest review on file was September 30, 2026 — less than 4 weeks old as of our last data refresh. 4% of all 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
Top 50% in SC
Nice Guys Buying Houses has a strong credibility profile (#15 of 38 in SC). We identified the company’s leadership, business structure, and buying model, supported by a broad online presence. The company reports operating since 2014 on its website. We have 8 years of documented review history. The main limit on its score was website depth and transparency. We identified 1 relevant complaint, but it did not result in a deduction.
Verification. We identified Google, BBB, Facebook, and Yelp profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list the profile as not accredited. They list an F rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. Nice Guys Buying Houses 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 75/100 for depth and transparency. It includes company background, buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.
Business details. We identified Terry Burger as the company’s owner. BBB lists the business as an LLC. The business information we reviewed identifies it as a direct buyer. No related businesses or DBAs were identified.
Track record. Nice Guys Buying Houses reports operating since 2014 on its website. BBB lists February 8, 2018 as its business-start date, February 8, 2017 as its incorporation date, and September 14, 2022 as its profile-opening date. The reported start dates differ across sources. We did not treat that discrepancy as a red flag. Reviews on file date back to October 30, 2017. Reviews appear in 18 of the 109 months covered by our records. Review activity is intermittent.
Complaints and red flags. We identified 1 relevant complaint in a Google review.

Utility bills and the reimbursement agreement are unavailable. This account remains unverified.

-
Verify who is buying your home

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.
