Yes it is legitimate when you work with a transparent investor. We are investors not agents and we buy houses in West Virginia through a clear process. After you reach agreement we send a two-page purchase agreement, perform inspections, and open title with a licensed West Virginia title company. Our headquarters are in Columbus, OH and we partner with experienced local investors across West Virginia to ensure proper handling. You receive a written cash offer and earnest money in escrow, and we never charge commissions. Sellers in Wheeling, Charleston, or Parkersburg often choose this path to avoid lengthy listings.
