Plain disclosure

How we buy.

On most deals we close with our own capital, take title, and renovate or hold the property. On some deals we assign our purchase contract to a buyer in our network. When that is the plan, we tell you in writing before you sign, as Texas law requires and as we do in California too. Your agreed price and terms do not change.

Path one

We buy and take title.

Closed with our own capital. We renovate and resell, or hold the property.

Path two

We assign the contract.

Disclosed in writing before you sign. Same price, same terms, same closing date.

From the founder

“I spent three years as an agent at Coldwell Banker before starting Blue Ocean. I know what a listing agent needs from a buyer: clean terms, quick answers, and a closing that happens on the date in the contract. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.”
Jacob McKanry Founder and CEO, Blue Ocean Investments
