Real Stories
How We've Helped Homeowners Like You
⚠️
Facing Foreclosure
Dr. Vu
Charlotte, NC
Auction date was 12 days away. We made a firm cash offer and closed in 7 days — stopping the foreclosure clock entirely. No agent, no delay, no drama.
Closed in 7 days · Foreclosure stopped
✈️
Job Relocation
Marcus T.
Baltimore, MD
Got a job offer 800 miles away. A bad roof and outdated kitchen made listing impossible. We bought it as-is — he was on the road in 10 days.
Closed in 10 days · No repairs required
🏛️
Inherited Property
The Williams Family
Woodbridge, VA
Lost their mother and inherited a house they couldn't maintain. We handled the estate paperwork and bought the property, letting the family focus on grieving — not logistics.
Closed in 14 days · Estate handled
⚖️
Divorce Settlement
Tanya & James R.
Raleigh, NC
Both parties needed their equity fast to move on. A traditional listing would have dragged on for months. We closed in 12 days and both walked away with cash.

Founder & CEO
Former Social Worker · Real Estate Investor · Community Builder
A former social worker with a passion for real estate, Sunday McIlwain founded Black Girls Buy Houses to bring compassion and integrity to real estate investing. She saw too many homeowners losing equity to predatory buyers, long listing timelines, and hidden fees — and built a better alternative.
Sunday has personally guided sellers through foreclosure, probate, divorce, and relocation — always prioritizing the homeowner's outcome over a fast transaction.
"Working with Sunday was an easy choice — she explained the entire process in detail and made every interaction painless."— Dayna Mancini-Simmons, Google Review · ★★★★★

Don't Wait — Time-Sensitive
Every Day You Wait Costs You Money
Carrying costs on an unsold home add up fast — property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance. If you're also facing foreclosure, the clock is counting down right now.
The sooner you sell, the sooner those carrying costs stop. A cash sale can close in as little as 7 days — instead of waiting 60–90 days on the open market.
