Built by people who were tired of the postcard.

The cash-home-buyer market split in two. On one side: polished iBuyers who give you a number in five minutes and bury a five-percent fee in the fine print. On the other: franchise networks and yellow-sign operators who buy anything and explain nothing.

Alder is the third thing. We are a direct buyer. We use the Opendoor idea — start with the address, finish with a written offer — and the Offerpad promise — as-is, no showings, you pick the Tuesday. Then we do the part both of them skip: we put market value, repairs, and the 4.5% fee on one page.

We buy in twenty metros. Specialists live in those markets. The walkthrough is twenty minutes. The review period is three days. If the equity is not there, we say so.

The house can be ugly. The offer cannot be.
