House Buyers of America (House Buyers), the leading high-tech homebuying company that is reinventing the industry with its direct, no ‘middle-man’ approach that charges no commissions or fees, announces that it hit new heights of growth in 2019 YTD, achieving an 80% increase in overall revenue compared to 2018 YTD. In comparing Q4 2018 revenue results to Q4 2019, House Buyers saw an increase of 94%.
Key drivers of this growth stem from House Buyers’ position as a superior, well-established operation backed by a sustained investment in its technology and team. House Buyers has continued to build on its expertise to disrupt the ‘traditional’ real estate market in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia regions. The company also continues to distinguish itself from newer market entrants who may not have the knowledge, expertise, technology, or operational efficiency that House Buyers has skillfully honed over its 19 years in business.
