A Local, Independent Cash Home Buyer — Not a Call Center
Diamond Home Buyers has purchased houses directly from homeowners in Michigan, Tennessee, and Florida since 2014. Here's who we are and how we work.
Jason McCulley
Jason founded Diamond Home Buyers in 2014 to give homeowners a straightforward alternative to listing: a direct, no-pressure cash offer from a real local buyer instead of a faceless call center or a wholesaler who never intends to close.
Diamond Home Buyers operates as a Tennessee-based LLC purchasing residential property directly across Michigan, Tennessee, and Florida — handling everything from straightforward as-is sales to complex situations involving probate, foreclosure, tax liens, and tenant-occupied rentals.
How Diamond Home Buyers Works
We are a direct cash buyer — not a marketing site that resells your information to a network of unknown investors, and not a wholesaler who puts your house under contract hoping to flip the contract to someone else before closing. When you call (313) 217-3067 or submit your address, you're talking to the people who actually evaluate, offer on, and close on your property.
Every offer is backed by a real purchase agreement, a real closing date, and a real title company. We show you the comparable sales and repair estimate behind every number so you can verify it yourself — we never ask you to simply trust a figure with no explanation.
An honest note on pricing
Cash offers are lower than full retail market value — typically 65-78% of after-repair value, depending on condition and market. That difference covers renovation costs, carrying costs, closing costs on both ends, and the risk an investor takes on. We're upfront about this because sellers who understand the trade-off — speed and certainty in exchange for some price — make the right call for their own situation, not because we talked them into something they didn't understand.
What We Look For in Every Deal
Transparency
We show our math — ARV, comparable sales, and repair estimate — on every offer. No mystery numbers.
No Pressure
Every offer comes with time to think it over. We'd rather lose a deal than push someone into a decision they're not sure about.
Real Closings
Every deal closes at a licensed title company with a real purchase agreement — never a handshake or a side deal.
Direct Buyer
We close in our own name. We don't assign your contract to a stranger you've never met or vetted.
Where We Buy
Diamond Home Buyers purchases property throughout Michigan (statewide, with concentrated activity in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, and Genesee Counties), Tennessee (statewide, with concentrated activity in Davidson, Shelby, Knox, and Hamilton Counties), and Florida (statewide, with concentrated activity in Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, and Miami-Dade Counties).
We're based in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and operate as a service-area business — we travel to evaluate properties and close locally in each market we serve, rather than running everything from a single call center.
