Kinna Homes is a residential real estate investment and development company. We buy properties directly from owners in as-is condition, renovate them beautifully, and return quality housing to the communities we serve.
Disciplined, honest acquisitions.
Quality work that lasts.
Housing neighborhoods are proud of.
Decisions made for the long term.
Kinna Homes exists because selling a difficult property shouldn't feel like a gamble. Whether a home is inherited, tenant-occupied, storm-worn, or simply no longer fits its owner's life, we provide one organized path: an honest as-is review, a clear written option, and a professionally managed closing through licensed title companies. We're direct buyers and developers — not a lead-selling website — and we put our name on every transaction.
Kinna Homes is led by founder Nick Kinnard and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with recent acquisitions across Ohio — Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati — and the ability to work with property owners nationwide. We're a family-owned company built on a simple conviction: real estate should build people up. Sellers treated with dignity. Homes brought back to life. Neighborhoods left better than we found them.
That conviction shows up in how we operate — faith-driven values, plain-language offers, a licensed title company on every closing, and a standing rule that no one on our team will ever pressure you into a sale.
— Nick Kinnard, Founder
We buy houses, rentals, and small multifamily directly from owners — as-is, on flexible timelines, with the reasoning behind every offer explained in plain language.
We invest in the properties we acquire — repairing, renovating, and thoughtfully redeveloping them so tired houses become quality housing again.
We work with a vetted network of investors, builders, and operators to make sure every property lands with the team best equipped to bring it back to the market.
The same process for every seller — designed so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
A few minutes online or by phone. Any condition, any situation — occupied, inherited, damaged, or mid-renovation.
We review the property exactly as it stands, by conversation, photos, or a visit you approve. No repairs or cleanout first.
You receive an as-is purchase option with our assumptions explained — to consider on your timeline, with your family or advisors.
A licensed title company handles escrow and closing on the date that works for you — weeks or months out.
Most of what gives property investors a bad name is optional behavior. We opted out.
No countdown clocks, no "sign tonight" pushes, no manufactured urgency. Real deadlines only, honestly explained.
The condition is priced up front. We don't lower offers after inspections as a negotiating trick.
No invented testimonials, stock-photo "teams," or piles-of-cash theatrics. Everything we show is real and verifiable.
We're investors — not agents, attorneys, or lenders — and we say so. If we may assign a contract to a partner buyer, it's disclosed in writing.
If listing with an agent would clearly serve you better, we'll tell you. A direct sale is a tool, not a religion.
Difficult situations deserve calm professionalism. Every seller, tenant, and family member is treated with dignity.
Explore the path that matches your situation — each one explains the process, tradeoffs, and questions to ask.
Belongings, probate timing, and family decisions — simplified into one organized process.

No. We're a real estate investment and development company — we buy properties directly, with our own name on the contract. There are no commissions or listing agreements, and we're happy to explain how our role differs from an agent's before you decide anything.
No fees to review your property or receive an option, and in a typical purchase we cover standard closing costs. Every number is shown in writing before you sign.
Local market data, the property's as-is condition, the cost of the work it needs, and our required investment margin. We share that reasoning — an offer you can't interrogate isn't an honest offer.
Often a well-marketed retail listing can produce a higher gross price — in exchange for repairs, showings, financing contingencies, and time. A direct sale trades some of that price for speed, certainty, and zero preparation. We'll help you compare both honestly.
A team member contacts you — usually the same day — to understand the property and your goals. If it's a fit, you'll have a written option shortly after the review. If it's not, we'll say so respectfully and point you toward better alternatives.
Tell us about the property and what you're hoping to accomplish. A member of our team will follow up quickly — usually within minutes during business hours.
