In a company interview, Brad said he's the only employee, visits every property, and personally makes each offer. He says each offer is emailed with a price breakdown.

Owner Q&A

Brad Dwin

Owner, We Buy MD Homes

Brad Dwin explains how We Buy MD Homes calculates offers, works around sellers’ timelines, and helps homeowners compare a cash sale with other ways to sell. Interview conducted July 28, 2026.

Owner Q&A

Brad Dwin · Owner, We Buy MD Homes

Tell us about your company and your role.

Buying for 10 years. Service the entire state of Maryland. I am a sole proprietor so when you deal with my company you deal with me

What situations bring sellers to you?

Basically any seller in any type of fast sale situation where a realtor sale isn’t the best option. There is no one size fits all for home sellers in Maryland. Our job is to find a solution that fits the situation.

What types of properties do you buy?

We buy houses across Maryland in ant condition and in just about any scenario. Inherited homes, people downsizing, older folks moving to assisted living or apartments, tired landlords who don’t want to deal with tenants, foreclosures, divorce, relocation due to job or military. Any situation, any neighborhood in Maryland

How many homes do you typically buy?

5-6

What happens when a seller first contacts you?

We like to get the basic property information, the motivation for selling and the expectation at closing. Knowing those things helps us tailor a solution that best fits. Transparency above all else is key to my company. I encourage sellers to be honest about ever question asked and in turn they get honest, straightforward answers from me

How do you calculate an offer?

The offer really depends on the situation and the expectations of the home seller. It’s all math based on ARV, recent comps, closing/holding costs, profit (most sellers understand that we are in the business of making money) and rehab costs. I break down the math for every offer I make. If I am unable to make a cash offer that works for both parties, I have alternatives that sometimes work - hybrid cash offer/listing, mortgage assumption, short sale, or even listing the property outright. When it comes to making cash offers, there is an entire page of my website that breaks down the math.

How do you explain the offer to the seller?

100%! Every single offer I make is emailed with a complete breakdown of the offer and how I arrived at the offer number.

Is there room to negotiate?

There is always room to negotiate. My job is to find a solution that works for both the seller and my company. That said, my offers are designed so that everyone is protected until closing and there won’t be any last second negotiations or changes to my offer. I transparent from the start about finding the best solution for the seller.

What is the typical timeline from accepted offer to closing?

Depends on the property and situation. The bottom line is that we close on the seller’s timeline. It’s completely up to the homeowner whether or not that timeline is 15 days, 30 days or 90 days. Flexibility is critical to every deal.

How quickly can you close?

15 days is the absolute fastest. Most jurisdictions in Maryland take 20-30 on the fast side. Time is needed for proper title search, lien releases and mortgage payoffs.

Can you accommodate sellers who need more time?

I’ve had deals that have taken as long as 6 months. The bottom line is that the seller’s timeline is what’s important. We are dealing with their biggest asset and their decision to sell it, so I can suggest a timeline, but ultimately it is up to the seller.

How does your business differ from national cash buyers?

That’s easy. I’m local and they are not. I know Maryland, I know Baltimore and I know just about every area from the Eastern Shore to the mountains. I’m also the only employee of my company. I work with partners when it comes to the closing table, but when you deal with We Buy MD Homes, you deal with Brad Dwin - not a bot, not AI and not a caller from the Phillipines. I visit every property and every offer comes directly from me.

When does selling to a cash buyer make sense?

That’s completely a judgement call by the seller. Our job as cash buyers is to lay out all of the options and guide a seller to the best option. If a seller is reaching out to an investor, they are already looking for guidance.

When would you advise a seller not to take your offer?

I would not make an offer or present any solution to a seller that doesn’t make sense. That’s all part of transparency and integrity. Of If I think a seller will do better holding the property or selling with a realtor, that is the recommendation I will make.

What should sellers compare beyond the offer price?

In my market, most investors know each other. We use the same math, we offer many of the same solutions and we close on the same timelines. At the end of the day, it comes down to who you want to do business with. Most sellers do take the highest offer, but I have often been in situations where integrity, transparency and honesty trump dollar signs every time. A seller is going to go with the buyer that they have the best rapport with every time.

What should sellers look for when choosing a cash buyer?

A reputable cash buyer in Maryland will be honest and transparent from the first contact. It also helps to be local and know the market. I also make it a policy to never discuss money until it is actually time to make an offer. It also is critical to be verified, have a functional web site, legitimate contact information, verified reviews and a track record of closed deals. It also helps to be BBB A+ accredited.

Red flags are out of state buyers, companies that only make offers over the phone without seeing the property and companies that have very little in the way of contact information. Companies that “bait and switch” by renegotiating offers at the closing table are also ones to watch out for. If you receive 5 offers and one of them is for an amount that is way higher than the rest, I’d be wary. Most investors use the same math to arrive at an offer price. There may be small differences in the rehab numbers, but the offers should be competitive.

What is fair about the industry’s reputation, and what is overblown?

The instinct of sellers is that we buy houses companies always lowball offers. That is sometimes a fair assessment unless the company can actually show how they arrived at that number. I also don’t care much for companies who are not upfront with intentions when an offer is accepted. There are many bad actors in the industry and their dishonesty makes us look bad in some cases.

That said, we provide an important service as cash investors. Not every house can be sold by a realtor. It’s just not possible in many situations and reputable we buy houses companies provide a critical service for sellers in situations where the house needs to be sold as quickly as possible. The bottom line is that we are in the business of making money - most sellers understand that but what separates a reputable company from a bad actor is all in the approach and the transparency.

What advice would you give someone considering a cash buyer for the first time?

Do your due diligence, know everything about your house, understand your motivation for selling and look for buyers who have an online presence, a physical business address and an established reputation.

12-month trend Stable

We Buy MD Homes has a strong customer experience profile. Its lifetime feedback was overwhelmingly positive, backed by a moderate review record. The latest 3 months contained 4 5-star ratings — just 4 ratings, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 89/100 places it around the top 24% of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.

Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was strongly positive: 47 rated reviews averaged 4.8/5, with 44 five-star ratings and 2 one-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2019. 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 0.22% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.04 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.

Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 7 ratings averaging 5.0/5. The latest 6 months contained 4 5-star ratings. The latest 3 months contained 4 5-star ratings, through October 31, 2026.

Rating trends. Ratings improved. The 3-month average rose from 4.81 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.19 stars, or 4.0%. The five-star share rose from 93.6% to 100.0%, up 6.4 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 4 five-star ratings. It was too small to establish a lasting improvement.

Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 23 of 41 detailed customer reviews (56%), followed by knowledge and capability in 21 (51%) and good communication in 19 (46%). Other common themes included fast closings in 15 (37%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.

Review relevance. We classified 44 of 47 reviews (94%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. The remaining 3 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 47 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.

Recent review pace. Its recent review rate is above its lifetime average, but the recent record is too sparse for a formal pace classification.

Recent rates averaged 0.7 reviews per month over 6 months, 1.3 over 3 months and 0.6 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.6. The record contains 47 reviews dating back to 2019. A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.

Next steps if you’re considering We Buy MD Homes

Even with a well-supported company record, the quality of an individual offer comes down to its price, terms, and the entity responsible for closing.

  1. Get the complete offer in writing

    Confirm the purchase price, closing date, seller-paid costs, inspection or cancellation rights, and whether the contract can be assigned to another buyer.

  2. Verify who is buying your home

    Confirm the legal business name, request proof of funds, and identify the title or closing company. If the brand has multiple offices, verify which office or entity is responsible for your offer.

  3. Compare the likely net proceeds

    Request at least 2 cash offers when possible. If time allows, compare them with an estimate of what you could net from an as-is listing after fees, repairs, and carrying costs.

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.
