  • No upfront repair costs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can EZE help even if my home is in rough condition?

We focus on the repairs that will help your home sell for the most money, not unnecessary remodels.

No. You share only what you’re comfortable sharing and what we need to know. We respect your privacy completely.

What if I am emotionally overwhelmed and can’t make decisions?

We walk with you gently, offering options, not pressure. Our team takes as much off your plate as possible.

What if I need the home sold quickly?

We prioritize urgent timelines and can begin sometimes within days.

Will you work with my existing Realtor?

Yes. EZE works smoothly with any Realtor of your choosing. If you don’t have one, we can help you find a reputable agent.
