Built for sellers who can't wait.
Cinch was started for one reason: traditional home sales fail too many people. Sellers behind on mortgage. Sellers stuck in probate. Tired landlords with bad tenants. Owners with houses that need too many repairs to list. Divorce, relocation, medical bills — all the reasons a seller needs out fast and can't afford to wait 6 months for the MLS.
Ryan Smith founded Cinch in 2021 in Cary, NC, with a simple offer: cash, fair price, close in 7 days, no repairs, no agent fees. Since then, Cinch has bought 200+ houses across North Carolina, accumulated real Google reviews at 5.0 stars, achieved BBB A+ accreditation, and become a Raleigh Chamber of Commerce member.
We've also been quoted in Yahoo Finance, MSN, AOL, Morning Brew, GoBankingRates, and iHeart on the NC real estate market and how cash home buyers actually work — because we're one of the few operators who'll show our numbers.
What we are NOT: a national franchise. A wholesaler who'll sell your contract. An iBuyer with hidden fees. A "we buy ugly houses" sign on a telephone pole. We're the team that picks up the phone, drives to your house, makes you a real cash offer, and closes when you said we would.
