★★★★★

“Had a family house in Burlington. We inherited an older property, it was in rough shape. It needed major repairs we just couldn’t afford. And honestly, dealing with the estate had already stressed us out enough. That’s when Cinch Home Buyers came through as an absolute lifesaver. Ryan really walked us through everything. He bought the house completely as-is! We didn’t even have to clean it out. We took the family keepsakes and left the rest of the junk behind. It couldn’t have been easier. If you've got an inherited property in Burlington or need to sell a house fast that needs work, these are the guys to call. They’re professional, compassionate, and super fast. What more could you ask for”

Meet The Founder

Ryan Smith — Local Expert, Real Results

Ryan watched NC homeowners get lowballed by national iBuyer algorithms and pushed around by agents chasing 6% commissions. He started Cinch so people across North Carolina -- military families near Fayetteville and Jacksonville, retirees in Asheville and Hickory, whoever needed out fast -- could get a fair cash offer from someone who actually lives here.

He's personally walked through over 200 properties: post-war ranches in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, lakefront cabins near High Rock Lake outside Lexington, split-levels in Cary that haven't been updated since the '80s, and brick ranches in Raleigh neighborhoods like Five Points. When Cinch makes an offer, it comes from real market knowledge -- not a spreadsheet formula from some corporate office in another state.

An Accountability To Our Society

We put money where our mouth is. Every property Cinch purchases funds a direct contribution to NC-based nonprofits -- groups like the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, Habitat for Humanity of Wake County, and local shelters serving families across the state.

Why Cinch

Why 250+ NC Homeowners Chose Cinch

Ryan has purchased properties in 30+ North Carolina counties -- from Triangle towns like Apex and Morrisville, to Triad communities like Kernersville and Thomasville, and Charlotte Metro cities like Kannapolis and Monroe. He's not running a call center -- he picks up the phone himself. When you call Cinch, you talk to the person who's going to walk your property and write the check.

The process takes days, not months. No open houses, no inspections, no waiting for bank approval. No 6% agent commission eating into your equity. Just a direct cash offer from someone who's done this over 200 times in your state -- including Greenville, Kinston, Henderson, and Elizabeth City on the coastal plain, and small towns most cash buyers skip: Lillington, Angier, Siler City, and Oak Ridge included.

I called three other 'we buy houses' companies before Cinch. Two ghosted me, one lowballed me by $40K. Ryan called back the same day, walked the property himself, and closed in 11 days.-- Verified Google Review, North Carolina
