FAQs

Who is Restored Foundations, and what’s your mission?

We’re Caitlyn and Jonathan Beals—a local husband–wife team based in Portland, Oregon. At Restored Foundations, our mission is to provide compassionate, stress-free home buying solutions across the Portland metro area. We specialize in buying homes in any condition, offering guidance, and helping families facing foreclosure, divorce, probate, or difficult financial situations.

What types of properties do you buy in Portland, Oregon?

We purchase a wide range of properties throughout the Portland metro area—including single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and multi-family properties in any condition. Whether you're in Multnomah, Clackamas, or Washington County, we’re interested in making you a fair, fast cash offer.

Do I need to make repairs before selling my home?

No! We buy houses as-is—no need for repairs, cleaning, or staging. Whether the home has structural issues, needs major updates, or has been vacant or inherited, we'll make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer.

How fast can you buy my house in Portland?

We can typically close in as little as 7 to 10 days, or on your preferred timeline. Since we’re the direct buyer—not wholesalers—we avoid delays. After a quick property walk-through and due diligence, we move forward on your terms for a smooth, stress-free closing.

Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?

No. You pay zero fees when working with us. That means:

  • No realtor commissions

  • No processing or service fees

  • We often pay title and escrow costs

  • You walk away with the full net cash offer.

How do you calculate your offer for Portland homes?

We use a simple, transparent formula:
Offer = After-Repair Value (ARV) × 73% − Rehab Costs

That 73% covers:

  • 10% for resale costs (closing, agent fees, etc.)

  • 10% for holding/financing

  • 3% market risk buffer

  • 4% profit margin

Because we buy directly, we usually pay $15K–$30K more than wholesalers.

Can I sell if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure?

Yes! We specialize in helping homeowners behind on mortgage or tax payments. We can even take over your existing mortgage, avoiding foreclosure and protecting your credit. You’ll get relief without the hit to your financial future.

Are there other ways you can help besides cash offers?

Absolutely. We offer flexible solutions:

  • Behind on payments or low equity?
    We can take over your existing mortgage payments and relieve you of the financial burden—no credit hit, no foreclosure.

  • Want steady income over time?
    We can pay you in monthly installments with interest—plus a lump sum upfront. This is ideal for sellers who’d rather receive a steady stream of income than a one-time payout.

  • Want to share in the upside?
    If you’d like to stay involved, we can partner with you on the renovation and split the profits after the home sells. It’s higher risk, but can offer a bigger reward—especially in a strong market.

Our goal is to create a win-win deal that works for both of us—not just buy your home, but solve your problem.

We’ll walk you through every option in plain English and show you the pros and cons—so you can decide what’s best.

Do you serve areas outside Portland?

Yes—we buy homes throughout the Portland-Vancouver metro, including cities like Gresham, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Hillsboro, and more. If you're in Oregon or SW Washington, reach out and see how we can help.
