Customer experience
We Buy Real Estate, LLC has a weak customer experience profile, based on the available review data. More than half of its lifetime ratings were one-star. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating — just 1 rating, too few to establish a sustained trend. Its Customer Experience score of 27/100 does not have a sufficiently large comparable-company group for a reliable rank.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was poor: 8 rated reviews averaged 1.9/5, with 6 one-star ratings (75%) and 1 five-star rating. Reviews dated back to 2021. 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 0.04% adjustment to that signal. This subtracted 0.02 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 1 1-star rating and 1 5-star rating. The latest 6 months contained 1 1-star rating. The latest 3 months contained 1 1-star rating, through October 21, 2026.
Rating trends. The 3-month average fell from 1.88 lifetime to 1.00 — down 0.88 stars, or 46.7%. The one-star share rose from 75.0% to 100.0%, up 25.0 percentage points. Both periods showed poor feedback. The recent sample contained just 1 one-star rating. It was too small to establish a sustained decline.
Common themes. Review-theme analysis was unavailable for this review population. We could not identify common themes from the available analysis.
Review relevance. A reconciled review-relevance breakdown was unavailable. We did not treat unclassified reviews as irrelevant.
Recent activity
Company activity · As of October 21, 2026 — our latest collection date.
We Buy Real Estate, LLC has recent review activity. Its small review record limits how confidently we can assess its pace. We lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. A reliable Activity rank among similar companies is unavailable.
Recent review volume. We counted 2 reviews over 12 months, 1 over 6 months and 1 over 3 months. A reliable recent-volume comparison with similar companies is unavailable.
Recent review pace. Its recent review rate is above its lifetime average, but the record is too small for a formal pace classification. Its 6-month rate was 1.3× its lifetime average pace, compared with 2.5× over 3 months and 1.3× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0.2 reviews per month over 6 months, 0.3 over 3 months and 0.2 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.1. The record contains 8 reviews dating back to 2021. This is below the 20-review minimum for classifying pace.
Review freshness. Its latest review on file was August 3, 2026 — about 3 months old as of our last data refresh. 13% of all reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 2.5 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.
Credibility signals
We Buy Real Estate, LLC has an established credibility profile. We identified the company’s leadership, supported by a broad online presence. The main limits on its score were limited website depth and transparency, unconfirmed business structure, and limited buying-model detail.
Verification. We identified Google, Facebook, and Yelp profiles. We don’t have a matched BBB listing on file, so we couldn’t assess its BBB status. Its Google Business Profile was verified. We Buy Real Estate, LLC 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 40/100 for depth and transparency. Supporting details for this website assessment were not available.
Business details. We identified John J.P. Pirtle as owner and Jody Cooper as owner. We could not confirm its business structure. We could not confirm its buying model. No related businesses or DBAs were identified.
Track record. We could not confirm a company start date. Reviews on file date back to November 8, 2021. Our records contain 8 dated reviews from 2021-11-08 through the accepted cutoff of 2026-10-21. There is too little review history to describe a reliable pattern.
Complaints and red flags. One retained review describes food rather than a real estate transaction.

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.
