Meet Preston Hillard

I'm Preston Hillard, and I buy houses in the Dayton and Cincinnati metro area. But I'm not a typical "we buy houses" guy. I'm a licensed real estate agent with eXp Realty, which means I can offer you something most cash buyers can't — all your options.

Need to sell fast for cash? I'll make a fair offer. Would listing on the MLS get you more money? I'll tell you that and list it for you. Got a complicated title situation that other buyers won't touch? That's my specialty.

Why I Started Hillard Home Solutions

I got into real estate because I kept seeing the same thing — homeowners stuck in bad situations with no good options. The traditional real estate process doesn't work when you're in foreclosure, dealing with a probate estate, or sitting on a property with liens and title issues. And the "we buy houses" companies sending postcards? Most of them are wholesalers who've never actually closed a deal themselves.

I built Hillard Home Solutions to be different. I'm the actual buyer — I have the funds, I do the due diligence, and I close the deal. No middlemen, no contract assignments, no surprises. And because I'm also a licensed agent, I have the ethical obligation and the expertise to make sure you're making the best decision for your situation — even if that means telling you not to sell to me.

What I Do That Other Buyers Can't

Most cash buyers can only do one thing — make a lowball offer and hope you're desperate enough to take it. I give you every option available and let you choose the path that makes the most sense for your life.

Situations I Handle Every Day

• Foreclosure — You're behind on payments and the sheriff sale is approaching. I can close fast enough to stop the process and preserve your equity.
• Probate & Inherited Property — A family member passed away and left a property. Multiple heirs, court requirements, vacant house — I've handled dozens of these in Montgomery and Hamilton counties.
• Liens & Title Issues — Medicaid liens, judgment liens, tax delinquency, unreleased mortgages. I work with title attorneys to clear these and get the deal done.
• Tax Delinquent Properties — Years of unpaid property taxes piling up. I buy the property and handle the back taxes at closing.
• Divorce — Both parties need to move on. A fast cash sale splits the proceeds cleanly and lets everyone start fresh.
• Tired Landlords — Bad tenants, constant repairs, negative cash flow. I buy rental properties with tenants in place.
• Properties in Any Condition — Fire damage, water damage, foundation issues, mold, hoarding, code violations. I buy houses as-is.
• Death Without a Will — Intestate succession in Ohio is complicated. I work with probate attorneys to navigate multi-heir situations.

How I Work

Every deal starts with a conversation. I want to understand your situation — not just the property, but what's going on in your life that brought you here. Then I run the numbers and present your options:

1. Cash offer — I buy the property directly. Close in 7-21 days. No repairs, no fees, no commissions.
2. MLS listing — If listing would net you significantly more, I'll tell you and list it through eXp Realty.
3. Creative structure — Subject-to, land contract, or hybrid close when the numbers work better for both sides.

I show you the math on every option — comparable sales, repair estimates, projected net proceeds. No black box. No "trust me." You see the numbers and you decide.
