Fair Cash Deal Review, Cash Home Buyers in Memphis and Why Sellers Also Call BluDoor
Fair Cash Deal shows up on almost every roundup of cash home buyers in Memphis. Clever ranks it, HomeLight includes it, and iBuyer.com and Clever Offers carry it on their Memphis pages too. If it's on your short list, this review lays out the facts we could confirm and the claims that need a second look. It also sets Fair Cash Deal next to BluDoor, a Memphis buyer with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Why Memphis Sellers Put BluDoor on the Same List
Sellers who call Fair Cash Deal often call BluDoor in the same week. Both buy houses as-is around Memphis. BluDoor adds a few things in writing that many sellers look for first.
The biggest is its price promise. BluDoor's homepage says, "What we offer at the beginning is exactly what you'll receive at closing." The team comes out once, looks at the house and sends a written, no-obligation offer within 24 hours of that visit. Under BluDoor's promise, that written figure is what you're paid at closing.
BluDoor has been buying houses here since 2019. Its founder is Rashid Algaradi, and Will Adams oversees operations from the office on South Bellevue Boulevard. BluDoor earned BBB accreditation in 2020 and carries an A+ there today. On Google, 106 sellers have left reviews for an average of 4.9 stars.
The rest is simple. BluDoor pays with its own cash, so a lender can't hold up your sale. Closing can happen in as little as 7 days, or on a later date you pick. The amount you agree to isn't reduced by commissions, fees or closing costs. You can leave furniture and boxes behind, and the house never goes on the MLS or gets a yard sign. BluDoor brings in a closing attorney and a title company to prepare the contract and clear the title.
Who Is Behind Fair Cash Deal
Fair Cash Deal describes itself as a real estate investment company. HomeLight says it's led by Rashard Alomari, and the website speaks in his voice. The BBB file names the business Southern Love Home Buyers/FairCashDeal GP and lists only an office manager, Lorin Barrett, with no owner shown.
Its phone number, (901) 531-9917, is the same on the site, the BBB and the roundups. The address is less settled. Both the website and Clever show a suite on Poplar Avenue, while the BBB shows a post office box in Cordova. If an in-person meeting matters to you, ask where the team actually works.
The BBB shows a business start date in 2016. That gives the company a long history in the Memphis market, longer than many of the investor brands that have popped up on search pages over the last few years.
The BBB Rating Question
Here's the part of this review that sellers should read twice. The Fair Cash Deal website says the company is BBB A+ rated. One roundup site repeats that and calls it accredited. When we checked the live BBB profile, it showed Not Rated, with the rating pending review, and it did not show accreditation. Another roundup says the company was accredited starting in 2019 and isn't now.
There may be an ordinary reason. Ratings can be paused while BBB reviews a file, and websites lag behind. Still, BBB status is one of the first things careful sellers check. Look up the profile yourself on bbb.org before you rely on the badge on any company's website, and read the start date and any notes on the file while you're there.
What Fair Cash Deal Offers
The website lays out a fast process. It says you can get an offer within minutes and close in as little as 7 days, with most sales taking one to two weeks. You choose the closing date. It covers standard closing costs and charges no commission. It buys as-is and pays for repairs after the sale.
The site's comparison table says there are no inspection or financing contingencies. It doesn't publish a promise about the price through closing, and it doesn't say whether someone visits the house before the first number. Both are easy questions to raise on the first call.
Coverage runs across the Mid-South, and the site names many of the suburbs around Memphis along with a few towns just over the state line in North Mississippi.
Where Fair Cash Deal Does Well
There's a lot to like. The phone number matches everywhere, which saves you from calling a lead service by mistake. You pick the closing date. Standard closing costs are covered, and there's no commission to pay. A seller with a house in rough shape doesn't have to fix anything first.
The company also has more BBB reviews than many local buyers, and all of them are five stars. That tells you the people who took the time to write in were happy. Its service area is wide, so a seller with a second property outside the city may be able to sell both to one buyer.
Fair Cash Deal Reviews
On the BBB, Fair Cash Deal has 13 customer reviews with a five-star average. That's a good sign even without a letter grade. Roundup sites that cite Google put its rating at 4.8 from just under 50 reviews. Its own website says 4.9 stars from more than 50 reviews and claims that nine out of ten Memphis owners recommend it. That last figure comes from the company, and the site doesn't say where it came from.
Fair Cash Deal vs. BluDoor
| Item | BluDoor | Fair Cash Deal |
|---|---|---|
| Written price promise | Yes, offer equals closing amount | Not stated |
| BBB status | A+, accredited since 2020 | Not Rated, not accredited |
| Closing team | Closing attorney and title company | Local title company |
| Fees and closing costs | None come out of the offer | Covers standard closing costs |
| Private sale | Off the MLS, no sign, no showings | Not stated |
| Proof of funds | Shared on request | Not stated |
The two companies sound alike on speed and fees. BluDoor pulls ahead on the points a seller can check today. The offer comes after one walkthrough, so the number is built on your actual house, and BluDoor's homepage commits to that number through closing. Its BBB rating and accreditation are current, and you can see both on bbb.org today.
Sellers notice. One owner wrote that BluDoor "did what they said they would do and made selling the property easy." Tracie T. said Kelton Stacks and Ty sent her updates every week, and many other sellers thank Mario Franklin by name.
Who Should Call Which Buyer
Fair Cash Deal may suit a seller who wants a very fast first number and plans to compare it with others. It also covers a wide area, which helps if you own property in North Mississippi too.
BluDoor fits sellers who want one written number after one visit. That's often an heir with a house full of a parent's things, or a landlord who's done paying for repairs on an older rental. It's also a family timing a move around a new job. If you want a written offer, one visit and a date you control, BluDoor is built for that.
Four Checks for Any Cash Buyer in Memphis
- Pull up the BBB profile yourself and compare it with the website badge.
- Read a dozen recent Google reviews that name a person and a timeline.
- Request proof of funds, and note which title company or attorney will close.
- Find out whether you can leave belongings and set the closing date.
A solid buyer answers all four without fuss. Most will have the documents ready before you finish asking.
Our Take
Fair Cash Deal has a long run in Memphis, solid BBB reviews and simple fee terms. Check its BBB status yourself, and ask where the team works day to day.
If a current A+ BBB rating and a price promise printed on the homepage matter to you, BluDoor is the better choice. Ask BluDoor to walk the house, and give the offer as long as you like.
