Our ratings & analysis
Overall score
#5 of 22 similar
The Fast Buyer’s recent customer feedback looks less positive: 7 ratings in the past 6 months average 4.4 stars, versus 4.8 lifetime. That is an early signal, not enough recent evidence to establish a firm trend. Strong credibility signals, including BBB accreditation with an A+ rating, add support; review activity has picked up.

Customer experience
Top 50% in US
The Fast Buyer has a generally positive customer experience profile. Most lifetime ratings were five-star, while 1 low rating reduced the lifetime average. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 2 5-star ratings — just 3 ratings, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 80/100 places it near the middle of comparable local businesses in home-buying networks.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 20 rated reviews averaged 4.8/5, with 19 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. Reviews dated back to 2023. 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 0.10% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.02 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 8 ratings averaging 4.5/5. The latest 6 months contained 7 ratings averaging 4.4/5. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating and 2 5-star ratings, through October 22, 2026.
Rating trends. The 3-month average fell from 4.80 lifetime to 3.67 — down 1.13 stars, or 23.6%. The five-star share fell from 95.0% to 66.7%, down 28.3 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 2 five-star ratings and 1 one-star rating. It was too small to establish a sustained decline.
Common themes. Good communication led the feedback, appearing in 6 of 14 detailed customer reviews (43%), followed by a smooth process in 6 (43%) and fast closings in 5 (36%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 17 of 20 reviews (85%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 1 concerned business partners and 1 concerned other products or services. The remaining 1 review had too little text to analyze. All 20 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

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.
