01Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using localhomebuyersusa.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
These Terms apply to information and offer ranges generated on this Site. Any actual purchase of real property is governed by a separate written purchase agreement that you sign with us.
02Who We Are
Local Home Buyers USA (“LHBUSA,” “we,” “us”) is a Minnesota-based real estate acquisitions company. We are a principal buyer of real property. We are not a real estate brokerage, a real estate agent, or a lender, and we do not represent sellers in the sale of their property to third parties.
03Offer Ranges Are Estimates
The numbers displayed on this Site — including any cash offer ranges, “Bee’s Knees Program” estimates, or traditional listing projections — are estimates generated by our PropData engine based on public-record data and proprietary modeling.
Estimates are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a real estate appraisal, broker price opinion, or other formal valuation under the laws of any state. They are not a substitute for professional advice from a licensed appraiser, real estate agent, attorney, or tax professional.
04No Agency Relationship
Your use of this Site does not create any agency, fiduciary, partnership, employment, or representation relationship between you and LHBUSA. We are not your agent. When evaluating any offer we make, you are encouraged to consult independent legal, tax, and real estate professionals of your choosing.
05Novation & Assignment Disclosure
Our default transaction structure includes the right to assign or novate our purchase rights to a third-party end buyer. In plain English:
- We may enter into a purchase agreement with you as the buyer.
- We may then identify an end buyer (often a retail purchaser) who closes on the property at a higher price than we offered to pay.
- The difference between the price the end buyer pays and the price you accepted is our compensation, also called the “spread.”
- Where state law and contract terms allow, this may be structured as an assignment (we transfer our purchase rights) or a novation (the end buyer is substituted into the contract).
Any specific transaction structure, including the right to assign or novate, will be disclosed in writing in the purchase agreement you sign. State-specific disclosures will be made where required by law.
06Eligibility & Permitted Use
