Is Semi Homes legit?
Evidence supports a business presence. Semi Homes 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
#71 of 106 similar
Semi Homes has a mixed overall score. Its lifetime average is 4.7 stars across only 13 ratings. There isn’t enough feedback to assess how consistently the company performs. Its strong business credentials include an A+ BBB rating. 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% in CA
Semi Homes 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 places it below the middle of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was mostly positive: 13 rated reviews averaged 4.7/5, with 12 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. Reviews dated back to 2022. 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 19, 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. Only 7 detailed customer reviews were available for theme analysis, too few to identify common themes confidently.
Review relevance. We classified 10 of 13 reviews (77%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 2 concerned business partners and 1 concerned initial contacts without reported outcomes. All 13 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Bottom 50% in CA
Company activity · As of October 19, 2026 — our latest collection date.
Semi Homes has documented business activity, but its recent review record is quiet. Its records include a claimed directory profile. The main limit is the absence of new reviews over the past 6 months. Its Activity score of 50/100 ranks joint #397 of 456 comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Recent review volume. The company received fewer reviews than similar companies across all 3 periods. We counted 0 reviews over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 5, 2, and 1, 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 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 2022.
Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was August 21, 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 3.5 years.
Other business activity. Semi Homes claimed its directory profile. We have no completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.
Credibility signals
Top 50% in CA
Semi Homes has a strong credibility profile (#45 of 107 in CA). We identified the company’s leadership, business structure, and buying model, supported by a broad online presence. BBB lists 2021 as the business-start year. The main limits on its score were website depth and transparency and 4 years of documented review history. We found no specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags in the retained source material, so there were no deductions.

Website assessment. The website was accessible when checked on September 29, 2026. The website scored 80/100 for depth and transparency. It includes buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.

-
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.
