We Buy Your Maryland House in 3 Steps
Selling a Maryland house to Revolutionary Home Buyers takes three steps, from the first call to the money at closing, and most sellers finish all three in 30 days or less.
Tell Us About Your House
Share the address, the condition and your timeline through the form or by phone in about two minutes. Ben or Sam calls back within 24 hours, usually the same day, and sets a time to see the house.
Get a Written Cash Offer
Ben or Sam walks the house once and sends a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours, with the repair estimate and every cost shown line by line. The offer carries no obligation, so you accept it, decline it or keep it as a backup.
Close on the Date You Choose
You pick the closing date, and a Maryland title company runs the settlement and pays you at the closing table. The fastest closings take 14 days, and a later date for a move or an estate works the same way.

The Cash Price We Pay for Maryland Houses
Revolutionary Home Buyers pays the after repair value of a Maryland house minus repair costs, holding and sale costs and a business margin, and shows each of those numbers in the written offer.
After repair value is the price the house would sell for once fully renovated, measured from recent comparable sales on the same streets. Ben and Sam have managed a portfolio of over 300 Maryland rental homes, so the repair estimate in a Maryland cash offer comes from work they have paid for themselves.
Five factors move a Maryland cash offer up or down the most.
- Condition, because roof, foundation, electrical and plumbing work carry the largest repair costs.
- Location, because comparable sales in Baltimore City, Howard County and the Eastern Shore differ widely.
- Property type, because a Baltimore rowhome, a detached house and a multifamily building resell to different buyers.
- Liens and title, because unpaid taxes, judgments and ground rents are settled from the sale price at closing.
- Occupancy, because a house with tenants or belongings inside takes longer to renovate.
A direct cash sale is one of three ways to sell your house fast in Maryland, next to listing with an agent and repairing the house before a sale, and the written offer gives you real numbers to compare all three. When an agent listing would leave you with more money, Ben and Sam say so in the offer conversation.
We Buy Maryland Houses in Any Condition or Situation
Revolutionary Home Buyers buys Maryland houses, townhomes, rowhomes, condos, duplexes, multifamily buildings, mobile homes and land as is, whether the property is ready to move into or condemned.
House Conditions We Buy As Is
Any condition qualifies, from a dated kitchen or an ugly house to fire damage, because the repair cost is part of the cash offer rather than a job for you.
Selling Situations We Handle
Life events drive most Maryland cash sales, and the title company handles the paperwork of each one at settlement.
Baltimore City houses with a ground rent, a vacant building notice or open housing code violations sell the same way. Maryland ground rents are registered with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, and the title company clears the ground rent as part of the settlement. Homeowners facing foreclosure also have free state counseling through the Maryland HOPE Hotline at 1-877-462-7555, and Ben and Sam explain whether a sale or that counseling fits your case better.
Leave Anything You Do Not Want in the House
As is means the house exactly as it stands on closing day, including old furniture, a packed basement and a garage of leftovers. Revolutionary Home Buyers clears the house after closing and renovates many of the homes it buys, which is why a Maryland house in rough condition still gets a full written cash offer.
A written offer is also worth keeping when you decide not to sell today, because it gives you a firm number to compare with any listing price.

Two Local Owners Make Every Maryland Cash Offer
Ben Caplan and Sam Gallahan own Revolutionary Home Buyers and make every Maryland cash offer themselves, from the first phone call to the closing table. They answer their own phones, see each house in person and work from an office at 320 N Charles St, 4th Floor, in downtown Baltimore.
Revolutionary Home Buyers LLC has been a registered Maryland company since September 18, 2020, and buys each house itself rather than assigning the contract to another investor. The company grew out of joint venture deals around Baltimore and a rental portfolio that Ben and Sam built past 300 homes.
How Lead Generation Websites Work
- You fill in a form on a national website.
- Your details are sold to an investor you have never met.
- A stranger calls days later without knowing the house.
- The caller often signs a contract and resells it to another buyer.
How Revolutionary Home Buyers Works
- You reach Ben or Sam directly by phone, text or form.
- One of the two owners sees the house, usually within 24 hours.
- The person who makes the offer is the person who buys the house.
- A Maryland title company closes the sale on your date.
What to Compare Before Accepting a Maryland Cash Offer
A Maryland cash offer is worth comparing on three points before you accept it, namely the money you keep after costs, whether the buyer is legitimate and whether an agent listing pays you more.
Cash Sale Versus Listing With a Maryland Agent
A direct cash sale and an agent listing differ on eight costs and steps, set side by side here for a typical Maryland house.
| Cost or Step | Listing With an Agent | Revolutionary Home Buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | Commonly 5 to 6 percent of the sale price | None |
| Seller closing costs | Seller share of Maryland transfer and recordation taxes plus settlement fees | Paid by Revolutionary Home Buyers |
| Repairs and staging | Usually done before listing | None, the house sells as is |
| Time to an offer | Weeks of showings | A written offer in 24 to 48 hours |
| Financing risk | A buyer loan can fail before closing | No lender financing contingency |
| Closing date | Set around the buyer lender | You choose, with 14 days the fastest |
| Showings and open houses | Many | One visit from Ben or Sam |
| Who you deal with | Agents, buyers, lenders and inspectors | Ben and Sam from start to finish |
Existing mortgages, liens and unpaid taxes are paid from the sale price at closing in both routes, which makes the net amount the starting point of any cash buyer vs realtor in Maryland decision.
How to Check a Cash Home Buyer Is Legitimate
A legitimate Maryland cash home buyer passes five checks that take about ten minutes and need no personal details from you. Cash buyers in Maryland range from local owners who buy the house themselves to national websites that resell your details, and these checks separate the two.
- Search the company name in the Maryland Business Express records of the State Department of Assessments and Taxation and confirm an active registration.
- Check the office address on a map, because a post office box or a virtual office suggests the buyer does not operate locally.
- Read the Google reviews on Google itself and look up the Better Business Bureau rating of the company.
- Ask who signs the purchase contract and whether it can be assigned, because an assignable contract means the caller plans to resell it.
- Refuse any upfront fee, because a real cash buyer earns money on the purchase and never charges for an offer.
Revolutionary Home Buyers passes all five checks, with an LLC registered on September 18, 2020, an A+ BBB rating since September 2024 and an office at 320 N Charles St, the same proof set out for legitimate house buyers in Maryland.
Reviews From Maryland Home Sellers

Where We Buy Houses Across Maryland
Revolutionary Home Buyers buys houses in all 23 Maryland counties and Baltimore City, and these 12 areas are where it buys most often, each with a local guide.
Popular city guides cover Dundalk, Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Columbia, Frederick, Bowie, Bethesda, Waldorf, Annapolis and Hyattsville.
When Listing With an Agent Pays You More
Listing with an agent pays you more when the house is ready to show, sits in a strong market and you can wait for a retail buyer and a loan approval, because that buyer pays full market value for a house that needs nothing.
A direct cash sale leaves you with more when the house needs major repairs, carries liens or tenants, or costs a mortgage, taxes and utilities every month it sits unsold. Ben and Sam tell you which side your house falls on before you sign anything.
