Ohio Cash Buyers: Review & Ratings (November 2026)

Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 260 rated reviews averaged 4.9/5, with 249 five-star ratings and 7 one-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2018. 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 0.94% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.22 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.

Recent ratings. Recent feedback remained strongly positive. Ratings averaged 4.7 across 17 reviews over 12 months, 4.6 across 14 reviews over 6 months and 4.5 across 8 reviews over 3 months, through October 31, 2026.

Rating trends. The 3-month average fell from 4.87 lifetime to 4.50 — down 0.37 stars, or 7.7%. The one-star share rose from 2.7% to 12.5%, up 9.8 percentage points. The average remained strongly positive: 7 of 8 ratings were five-star. The small sample limited confidence in a continuing trend.

Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 112 of 164 detailed customer reviews (68%), followed by fast closings in 75 (46%) and good communication in 61 (37%). Other common themes included honesty and transparency in 54 (33%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.

Review relevance. We classified 196 of 260 reviews (75%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 14 concerned business partners, another business, initial contacts without reported outcomes and other products or services. We excluded 21 duplicate entries and 29 reviews with too little text from sentiment analysis. All 260 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Recent review volume. The company received more reviews than similar companies across all 3 periods. We counted 17 reviews over 12 months, 14 over 6 months and 8 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 5, 2, and 1, respectively.

Recent review pace. Its 6-month review pace is stable, at 0.9× its lifetime average pace. Its latest 3-month pace was 1.1×, compared with 0.6× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 2.3 reviews per month over 6 months, 2.7 over 3 months and 1.4 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 2.5. The record contains 260 reviews dating back to 2018. This gives the recent comparisons a substantial historical basis.

Review freshness. Its latest review on file was September 15, 2026 — less than 7 weeks old as of our last data refresh. 5% of all reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 3.5 years.

Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.

Verification. We identified Google, BBB, Facebook, Yelp, and Trustpilot profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list accreditation since 2019. They list an A+ rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. Ohio Cash 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 90/100 for depth and transparency. It includes team information, buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.

Business details. We identified Bryan Blankenship as the company’s CEO. The BBB information we reviewed names Tony Deal as vice president. The BBB records we reviewed name Bryan Blankenship as an 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. The company describes restoring homes.

Track record. Ohio Cash Buyers reports operating since 2004 on its website. BBB lists August 5, 2014 as its business-start date, August 5, 2014 as its incorporation date, and May 30, 2018 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 April 2, 2018. Reviews appear in 53 of the 103 months covered by our records. The longest period without a recorded review was 7 months.

Complaints and red flags. We identified 1 relevant complaint in a Trustpilot review. A seller alleges a higher purchase assurance induced cancellation of another buyer’s contract, then was withdrawn before signing. The competing agreements and independent outcome were unavailable. The company threatens legal action unless a disputed cold-call review is removed; this does not establish fabricated reviews. The allegations remain unverified.
