Press Release: Local Home Buyers USA β€” Most Transparent Home Buyer in the Nation
For Immediate Release

Local Home Buyers USA Declares Itself the Most Transparent Home Buyer in the Nation

Company challenges industry norms by publishing pricing methodology, open-sourcing valuation engine, and providing line-item breakdowns on every offer

Local Home Buyers USA, a nationwide real estate investment company powered by PropTechUSA.ai, today announced its position as the most transparent home buyer in the nation β€” backing the claim with published methodology, open-source code, and a commitment to line-item transparency on every offer.

The 'we buy houses' industry has operated in the shadows for too long. Sellers deserve to understand the math behind every offer. We're not just saying we're transparent β€” we're proving it by publishing everything.
