Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the BareStone Investments website (the "Website"), submitting a property inquiry, engaging with our chat widget, or interacting with us in any way, you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately cease using this Website and must not submit any information to us. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BareStone Investments.
Nature of Services
BareStone Investments is a real estate investment company that purchases residential and commercial properties directly from sellers for cash. We are not a licensed real estate brokerage, real estate agent, or mortgage lender, and nothing on this Website should be construed as real estate brokerage services, legal advice, or financial advice.
- Submitting a property inquiry to BareStone Investments does not create a real estate agency relationship.
- We act solely as a principal buyer, not as your agent, representative, or fiduciary.
- We do not list properties on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or market your property to other buyers.
- We may assign our rights to purchase your property to another buyer as part of a wholesale transaction.
- You are encouraged to seek independent legal, tax, or financial advice before entering into any real estate transaction with us.
No Obligation
Submitting a property inquiry to BareStone Investments does not create any obligation on your part to sell your property, nor does it create any obligation on our part to make an offer or purchase your property.
- All cash offers presented by BareStone Investments are non-binding until a written Purchase and Sale Agreement is fully executed by both parties.
- Any offer we present is subject to property inspection, title review, lien searches, and final due diligence.
- We reserve the right to modify or withdraw any offer prior to execution of a written agreement without liability to you.
- You are free to reject any offer we make, seek offers from other buyers, or choose not to sell your property at any time before signing a purchase agreement.
Accuracy of Information
You represent, warrant, and covenant that all information you provide to BareStone Investments — including but not limited to information about yourself, your ownership of the property, the property's condition, any liens or encumbrances, and any pending legal matters — is accurate, complete, and truthful to the best of your knowledge.
You further represent and warrant that you are the legal owner of the property, or that you are authorized to act on behalf of all legal owners, and that the property is not subject to any undisclosed pending litigation, foreclosure action, or court order that would prevent or delay a sale.
Communication Consent
By providing your phone number and/or email address and checking the consent checkboxes on our property inquiry form, you expressly consent to receive the following communications from BareStone Investments:
- Automated and manually dialed telephone calls to your provided phone number.
- Pre-recorded voice messages.
- SMS and MMS text messages, including messages sent via automated telephone dialing systems.
- Email communications to your provided email address.
These communications may include: property offer details, appointment confirmations and reminders, follow-up inquiries, transaction updates, and general communications related to BareStone Investments' services.
As-Is Purchases
BareStone Investments purchases properties in their current "as-is" physical and legal condition, unless otherwise expressly agreed in a written Purchase and Sale Agreement. This means:
- We do not require sellers to make repairs, renovations, improvements, or clean-outs prior to closing.
- Our cash offer reflects our assessment of the property's current condition, our estimated cost of repairs, our cost of carrying the property, and our projected resale value.
- We may conduct a property walkthrough or inspection before finalizing an offer. This inspection is for our benefit and does not create any representation or warranty regarding the property's condition.
- Sellers are responsible for disclosing all known material defects, environmental issues, code violations, liens, judgments, or other encumbrances affecting the property.
No Guarantee of Purchase
Submitting a property inquiry, receiving a preliminary offer, or entering into preliminary negotiations with BareStone Investments does not guarantee that we will complete a purchase of your property.
We reserve the right to decline any property or withdraw any offer at any time prior to execution of a written Purchase and Sale Agreement for any reason, including but not limited to:
- Discovery of title defects, undisclosed liens, or encumbrances.
- Unfavorable inspection findings or material misrepresentations about the property's condition.
- Inability to obtain satisfactory title insurance.
- Changes in market conditions or our investment criteria.
- Legal or regulatory restrictions affecting the property or the transaction.
