"Scott is the most honest person I've dealt with in real estate. He gave us a fair price, explained every number, and closed in 10 days. Not one surprise, not one hidden fee. My only regret is not calling him sooner."

Dear neighbor,
— Scott Durham
My name is Scott Durham. I've been buying houses in Arizona since 2004 — long before "we buy houses" was a thing on billboards and late-night TV. I started because I saw how broken the traditional process was for homeowners in tough situations. Foreclosure, divorce, inherited property, problem tenants, a house that needed $40,000 in repairs nobody had money for. The traditional market didn't serve these people. It just made everything harder and slower.
So I became the buyer I wished existed. No games. No last-minute price drops. No "we need to bring in our contractor" excuses. I look at your home, I tell you what I can pay, I explain every number, and I let you decide. Not a single homeowner I've worked with has felt pressured — that's a choice I make on purpose.
A few years ago, John joined me. He handles the day-to-day in Arizona — talking to sellers, running the numbers, making sure every deal closes exactly the way we promised. When you call SellFastAZ, you talk to one of us. You're not a lead in a CRM. You're a person with a real situation, and we treat it that way.
If our offer makes sense for you, take it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you what we think your best options are — even if that means listing with an agent. That's the kind of straight talk I'd want if I were in your shoes.

What Sets Us Apart
We Operate Differently.
On Purpose.
These aren't marketing claims — they're decisions we made from day one and have kept every single time.
We Pick Up
When you call, a real person answers — usually Scott or John. No voicemail maze, no automated system. We understand urgency because we've seen what happens when it goes unaddressed.
Written Offers, Real Numbers
We put our offer in writing — the exact purchase price, your projected closing date, your estimated net. Within 24 hours, you have a document. No verbal lowballs, no vague timelines.
We Are the Buyer
There's no middleman. No wholesaler who will flip your contract to a third party. When you sign with us, our names are on the paperwork. We close the deal ourselves, period.
Zero Pressure
You can take our offer and sleep on it. You can call three other buyers. We'll never follow up with urgency tactics or deadline pressure. The offer stands — take it or leave it, no hard feelings.
As-Is, For Real
We buy every home exactly as it sits. Furniture left behind, leaking roof, foundation concerns, fire damage — we've bought it all. We won't send you a repair list after your offer is accepted.
Locally Rooted
Scott has lived and worked in Arizona since 2004. He knows these neighborhoods and what affects values from Scottsdale to Yuma. This isn't a remote operation — we're your neighbors.
Our Commitment to You
Three promises.
We make them every time.
These aren't aspirational values on a wall. They're the operational standards we hold ourselves to on every single deal.
Our names are on every contract.
You're not signing with a company shell or a fund. You're signing with Scott Durham and John Taylen — real people with real accountability and real reputations on the line.
The offer we hand you is the offer you cash.
What we write down is what transfers to your account at closing. We don't reduce. We don't add fees. The number is the number, every single time.
You talk to one of us — never a call center.
From the first call to the closing table, you have a direct line to Scott or John. No handoffs, no assistants, no customer service queues.

The Journey
Built One Deal at a Time
Twenty years of showing up for Arizona homeowners. Here's how we got here.
2004
First Deal in Arizona
Scott closes his first Arizona cash purchase — a Phoenix home from a family facing foreclosure. He walks them through every step, closes in 11 days, and gets a handwritten thank-you note. That note is still on his desk.
2008–2011
The Recession Years
When the housing market collapsed, Scott kept buying — helping distressed homeowners exit before foreclosure hit their credit. While other buyers vanished, Scott stayed and built a trust that still drives referrals today.
2015
100 Homes Purchased
A milestone that never made it onto a press release — but Scott remembers the family behind every one of those deals. Each one reinforced the same truth: speed and certainty matter more than a slightly higher list price.
2020
John Joins the Business
John Taylen joins full-time to handle acquisitions and seller relations across Arizona. With John on board, the team moves faster and reaches more homeowners statewide — without sacrificing the personal touch.
Today
500+ Homes · All of Arizona
Scott and John now buy homes across all of Arizona — Phoenix to Tucson, Flagstaff to Yuma. The process is the same as it was in 2004: honest offer, fast close, real people on both sides of the table.

"I called three 'we buy houses' companies. Two felt like scams. John actually answered his phone, came to see my house, and made me a real offer the same day. Closed in 9 days. I've already referred two friends."
★★★★★
"Going through a divorce is rough enough. Scott made selling the house painless — communicated with both of us fairly, never took sides, closed fast. We're both grateful he was the one who answered."
