“Miles helped my grandmother sell her home fast in California so she could come here to Texas to live her retirement years with her family. The house needed more work than we could get done. 10/10 highly recommend!”

Miles Buys Homes has six public 5-star reviews, all on Google, plus a 4.5-star rating on Clever. We have bought 50+ houses in and around San Bernardino. Most of those sellers were in private situations, foreclosure, probate, divorce, and chose not to post about it, so the review count is far lower than the deal count. Every one you see here is unpaid and unedited.
50+ houses bought. 6 public reviews. Here is why that gap exists.
Most sellers we buy from are in a situation they would rather not advertise. Foreclosure. A house that came through probate. A divorce. A property that has not been livable in years. They do not want their name and their story sitting on Google where a neighbor can read it, and we are not going to push them. The six reviews below are from sellers who decided on their own to go public. The other 44+ closed quietly.
Every review here is 5 stars for one reason: we only ask after a closing has already funded. We have never paid for a review, traded anything for one, or asked a seller to change a word. Every one of them links back to the platform it lives on, so you can go read it there instead of taking our word for it. If we ever earn a bad review, it stays up and Miles answers it.
If you want to know who is actually behind these, read who Miles is, including exactly how we make money and when Miles will tell you to list with an agent instead of selling to us.
The Cash-Buyer Test
What we will not do, and what we promise we will.
The biggest fear sellers have about cash buyers is the bait and switch: a high number up front, then quietly chipped away during due diligence until closing day. Here is our line on that.
What we will not do
- Renegotiate your price during due diligence
- Add closing fees at the last minute
- Assign your contract to another buyer behind your back
- Wholesale your house and pocket the spread
- Pressure you to sign before you are ready
- Sell or share your contact information with anyone
What we promise
- The offer Miles hands you on day one is the offer at closing
- Zero fees, ever. We pay every standard closing cost.
- Miles closes in his own name. Your house, his money.
- Walk away at any point, no hard feelings
- If our number is not the right move for you, we will say so
- Your information goes to Miles only. Nobody else.
And it is in writing: if we ever try to lower an offer after we make it, you keep the earnest money and you never hear from us again. Before you decide whether that promise is worth anything, go look at how the offer is calculated. The whole formula is on the page.

The Situation
The family had a house in California while they were living in Texas. The grandmother wanted to be near them for her retirement, and the house needed more work than anyone could manage from two states away.
Outcome Sold as-is · No repairs · Fast close · Family relocated

We have helped sellers get out ahead of foreclosure.
Foreclosure is the most private situation we deal with, and not one of those sellers has wanted their story on Google. That is their call to make. If you are facing a sale date and you want to hear it from someone who has already been through it, ask Miles. He will connect you with a past seller who has offered to take that call.
Request a phone reference →Inherited property is the situation we see most.
Brandi’s review above is one of them. Probate timelines, siblings spread across different states, a house full of belongings nobody has the heart to sort through. We handle all of it, and you do not have to clear the house out before we buy it. Take what matters to you and leave the rest where it sits.
Request a phone reference →We have bought houses in every condition there is.
Fire damage. Hoarder situations. Open code violations. Twenty years of deferred maintenance. We have closed on all of it and never once asked a seller to fix anything first. Sellers in this spot almost always want privacy, so ask Miles for a phone reference or for photos of past distressed properties we have bought.
Request a phone reference →We have bought from landlords who were just done.
Section 8 paperwork, a tenant who has stopped paying, repairs you have been putting off for years. We will take it as-is with the tenants still in place, and you never have to run one more turnover. Most landlord sellers would rather keep it quiet, so ask for a phone reference if you want to hear it from one of them.
Request a phone reference →We work with out-of-state sellers all the time.
Brandi’s story above, her grandmother’s house, is one of them. Miles walks the property, sends you photos and video, and the contract and closing are handled remotely, so you never have to buy a plane ticket. If you want to hear from another out-of-state seller before you decide, ask Miles.
Request a phone reference →We have helped sellers who were behind on payments.
Behind on the mortgage, the property taxes, or HOA dues that have quietly turned into a lien. We can often close fast enough to get it handled before it hits your credit, and liens come out of the proceeds at closing, so you do not pay them out of pocket. Sellers in this position rarely go public, so ask Miles for a private reference call.
Request a phone reference →When you are relocating, we close on your calendar.
A job transfer with 30 days notice. A move across the country. We can close in about a week if you need it, or hold the date out and let you leave when you are ready. You pick, not us. Ask Miles to connect you with a past seller who moved on a deadline.

50+ houses, with the names taken out.
We are putting together a public log of our last 30 closings: situation, city, close month, days to close. No seller names.
The deal log is not finished yet
We are going back through past sellers to confirm what we can publish without making anyone identifiable, and that takes a while to do right. If you want to see the list before it goes up, Miles will walk you through it on a call.
The Strongest Trust Move We Can Make
Want to talk to a past seller before you talk to Miles?
Just ask for one. We will connect you with somebody we have already closed with who has agreed to take a call from a seller in your spot. Nobody scripts them, Miles is not on the line, and they will tell you exactly how it went.
Buyer’s Guide
How to vet any cash home buyer, us included.
Whether you end up selling to us or to somebody else, ask every cash buyer these five questions. The honest ones answer plainly and fast. The ones you should avoid will change the subject.
Will the offer you make today be the offer at closing? Get it in writing.
The most common cash-buyer trick is the renegotiation: a high number up front, then chipped down during due diligence once you have already told everyone the house is sold. Ask for the no-renegotiation clause in writing before you sign anything. If they hesitate, walk.
How are you funded? Show me.
Cash buyer means different things to different people. Some use their own money. Some use a hard money lender. Some use partners. And some have no money at all and are hoping to hand your contract to somebody who does. Ask for proof of funds. A real buyer emails it to you within minutes, because they already have it saved.
Can I talk to two past sellers, on the phone?
Anybody who has been doing this a while can name two past sellers willing to take a call. Reviews on a website can be written by anyone. A ten-minute conversation with a real person cannot be faked. If a buyer cannot produce one, you already have your answer.
Where do your reviews live, and are they on more than one platform?
If a buyer’s reviews only exist on their own website, be careful. Go look for them on Google, Clever, Yelp, the BBB. Click through to the review on the platform itself and check that the name and the words match. Anything that lives only on the buyer’s own site cannot be verified by anybody.
Do you assign contracts to other buyers?
This is the one that matters most. If the answer is yes, you are not talking to a buyer. You are talking to a wholesaler who plans to flip your contract to whoever pays them a finder’s fee. That changes who shows up at closing, what they expect from your property, and whether the deal survives at all. Miles closes in his own name, every time.
Ask us these same five questions. Miles would rather you walk away clear-eyed than sign something you regret, and he answers most of them on the About page before you ever pick up the phone.
When you are ready
Selling to a cash buyer is not a failure. It is a choice.
Sometimes it is the right one. Sometimes it is not, and Miles will tell you so instead of taking the deal. No pressure either way. Here are three ways to get a straight answer out of us.
