How Pivot Peak works

We provide liquidity to a market that doesn't have any.

Real estate is illiquid. When a homeowner needs to be out in 7 days because a foreclosure auction is scheduled, the traditional 60-day MLS listing fails them. We exist to fix that — by being the phone call that actually closes.

  1. 01

    A homeowner reaches out

    Most of our sellers find us during the hardest week of their year. They might be sorting an inheritance, racing a foreclosure timeline, or just exhausted by a property that's been a burden. The first conversation is unhurried and unscripted.

    We work primarily by referral and direct outreach. Our marketing exists so the right people can find a number to call — not so we can hammer leads.
  2. 02

    We underwrite — properly

    Within 48 hours we pull sold comps within a half-mile, score the condition against repair categories, calculate ARV (after-repair value) and a realistic cost-to-fix, and put together a fair as-is cash offer.

    We use Maricopa County records, MLS sold data through a licensed partner, and a physical walkthrough whenever possible.
  3. 03

    We sign the purchase agreement

    If the seller accepts, we sign a standard Arizona purchase agreement as the buyer. Earnest money goes into escrow with our local title company, and the seller has a firm price and a firm closing date.

    Local Arizona title partner — Phoenix office. Inspection period: 7 days standard.
  4. 04

    Title work and inspection

    Our title company runs the title commitment, clears liens or probate issues, and prepares closing documents. We handle inspections internally — no contractor parade through the seller's home.

  5. 05

    We close

    Escrow coordinates signatures, funds wire, deed records, seller walks away with cash on the agreed date. Often start-to-finish in under 14 days.

What we look for in a deal

A qualified lead is a property owner who is motivated to sell, owns a property that fits our criteria, has realistic expectations, and can move forward within a reasonable timeframe.

Motivation

There's a real reason to move — probate, foreclosure, relocation, repairs.

Fit

Single-family residential, Phoenix Metro, generally under 3,000 sqft.

Realistic expectations

Seller understands as-is pricing is below retail by design.

Workable timeline

We can close in 7–45 days depending on what the seller needs.
