We Buy Houses East Memphis TN, 6 Local Buyers Serving East Memphis Homeowners

Homeowners in East Memphis get the same flyers, yard signs and web ads as everyone else, and most promise cash and a fast close without saying who is behind the offer. This list names six buyers that work in East Memphis, with facts you can check before you pick up the phone. BluDoor comes first. Its entry shows why.

Use the list to pick two or three names. Then let each one see the house and send a number on paper, so you're comparing real offers instead of rough guesses made over the phone before anyone has stepped inside.

How These Companies Were Evaluated

We gave weight to proof a homeowner can look up in a few minutes. That meant the BBB grade and the year of accreditation, a named owner, and a Memphis street address. We also read each buyer's published terms on fees, timing and condition. Google ratings came from the Clever roundup for most companies, and we say so where that's the source. Any claim we found only on a company's own site is marked as its own claim. Anything we couldn't confirm stayed out.

Six East Memphis Cash Buyers

1. BluDoor

Rashid Algaradi started BluDoor in 2019, and the company has bought Memphis houses ever since. It holds an A+ from the BBB and earned its accreditation in 2020. Will Adams runs day-to-day operations. On Google, sellers give BluDoor 4.9 stars across 106 reviews. Its zip list includes 38117, so East Memphis sits well inside its home turf.

The strongest reason to start here is a line on BluDoor's homepage: "What we offer at the beginning is exactly what you'll receive at closing." Someone from the team walks the house one time. You get a no-obligation cash offer in writing within a day of that visit. You also pick the closing date, anywhere from about a week out to a couple of months.

Pros

  • Published promise tying the first offer to the closing amount
  • No commission, fees or closing costs taken from your offer
  • Buys as-is, and belongings can stay behind
  • Off-market sale with no sign in the yard

Good to Know

  • Expect one walkthrough before the written offer.
  • Its office is in Memphis on S Bellevue Blvd.
  • It suits owners who care more about a set date than a long listing.

2. Spencer Buys Houses

Spencer Shadrach owns this company, which also goes by Volunteer Buyers GP. BBB lists an A+ grade and a 2016 start, with accreditation added in July 2025. The BBB address is on Poplar Avenue in 38117, which puts it in East Memphis too. Its site says it makes an offer within 24 hours and covers typical closing costs. Clever shows a 4.9 Google rating from 115 reviews.

Jamison and Joy Hendricks co-own buyerhouse, and their office sits at 1715 Kirby Pkwy. BBB gives it an A+ and has listed it as accredited since February 2022. The site promises it will pay all closing costs and charge no fees. It also buys houses with tenants still living there. Timing varies by page, with 7 days in one spot and 14 in another.

Pros

  • Named on Clever and HomeLight roundups
  • Takes tenant-occupied homes

BBB names Alan Wright as the owner of Pyramid Properties and grades it A+. Accreditation came in June 2025, though the business dates to 2020. The site says some homeowners close in as little as a week and that it charges no commissions or fees. Clever reports a 5.0 Google rating from 115 reviews, which is a strong count.

Pros

  • High Google rating on Clever
  • Buys in any condition, per its site
  • Flexible closing dates

Cons

  • No street address on its website
  • Doesn't say who pays closing costs

5. Fair Cash Deal

Rashard Alomari leads Fair Cash Deal, according to HomeLight. Its site lists an office at 5100 Poplar Ave, while BBB shows a PO box in Cordova.

BBB does show 13 five-star reviews.

6. New Horizon Home Buyers

New Horizon is a family-owned buyer based in Chattanooga, run by owner Erik Wright. Its Memphis page lists an office on S B.B. King Blvd downtown. BBB rates it A+ and has accredited it since 2020. Its headline promises no agents, no fees and no closing costs, and the page says the seller chooses the closing date.

Pros

  • A+ BBB grade with accreditation since 2020
  • Sells 100% as-is, per its site
  • Listed on HomeLight's Memphis roundup

Cons

  • Headquarters is in Chattanooga, not Memphis

Common Mistakes East Memphis Sellers Make

Many owners stop at the first number they hear on the phone, even though a figure given before anyone sees the house is only a rough guess. A phone figure isn't an offer. Wait until someone has inspected the property and put a figure on paper, then compare what you'd actually walk away with after every expense.

Another slip is paying for repairs before calling a cash buyer. New carpet or a fresh coat of paint rarely changes a cash number much, and the money is gone either way. Some sellers also skip the five-minute BBB lookup, which shows the grade, the start date, the accreditation year and the name of the person who owns the business. Last, don't let a sign or a mailer decide for you. A buyer with no name and no address is hard to check out later.

Who Benefits Most From a Cash Sale

A cash sale works best when the property needs more renovation than you can realistically fund yourself. It also fits an inherited home that nobody wants to clean out, or a rental with tenants in place. Owners with a firm move date get a lot out of it too, because they can set the closing day around the moving truck instead of around a buyer's lender. If you'd rather avoid showings and strangers walking through the house, a private sale handles that.

BluDoor's FAQ adds a fair note here. If an agent turns out to suit your needs better, the team says it will tell you so.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can a cash buyer close in East Memphis?

Seven days is the fastest close most local buyers list. BluDoor can close in that window, and its FAQ says most of its sales finish in two to three weeks.

Do I have to empty the house first?

Not with BluDoor. You can leave furniture, boxes and anything else you don't want to move.

Will I pay a commission?

Local cash buyers usually don't charge one. Some online platforms take a service fee from your proceeds, so read every line of the offer.

Bottom Line

Six good names is still more than most people want to call. Start with the one that has a Memphis office, a named founder and its offer promise printed on the homepage. BluDoor stands out as the top pick for East Memphis homeowners who want a written cash offer and a closing day they choose. Reach out whenever you're ready.
