Who We Are

A Cleveland investment firm, built on direct deals.

Stephens Equity Group is a real estate investment company based in Cleveland, Ohio, founded by Justin Stephens. We buy properties directly — from homeowners, wholesalers, and other investors — and put that real estate to work three ways: renovating and reselling it, assigning it to a trusted buyer, or holding it as a long-term rental.

Every offer we make is backed by our own capital, not a bank's approval process. That means we can move at whatever speed the seller needs, whether that's a two-week close or a date three months out.

“We buy the property as-is, so the seller doesn't have to fix a thing before they sell it.”

— Justin Stephens, Founder
What We Do

Three ways we put a property to work.

Not every property fits the same strategy. We evaluate each deal on its own terms and match it to the exit that makes the most sense.

Renovate & Resell

Fix & Flip

We acquire homes that need work, renovate them to a high standard, and return them to the market as move-in-ready houses for the next owner.

Assigned to a Vetted Buyer

Wholesale

When a property is a better fit for another investor's strategy, we assign the contract to a buyer in our network — a fast, low-friction exit for sellers who want certainty.

Long-Term Portfolio

Buy & Hold Rentals

Select properties join our rental portfolio, where we manage them for steady cash flow and reliable tenants across Cleveland's neighborhoods.

How It Works

From first call to closing table.

Three steps, and you're in control of the pace at every one of them.

01

Tell us about the property

Call or send the form below with the address and a little about its condition. No walkthrough required to get started.

02

Get a cash offer

We evaluate the property and put together a no-obligation cash offer, typically within a few days.

03

Close on your schedule

Accept the offer and pick the closing date that works for you. We can move quickly, or wait, whichever you need.

Where We Invest

Cleveland, and the communities around it.

We focus our buying in Cleveland and the surrounding Cuyahoga County communities, with the flexibility to consider opportunities throughout Northeast Ohio. If you're not sure whether your property fits, reach out — it costs nothing to ask.

Our Approach

Every deal is different. Our process isn't.

A look at how each type of deal moves — from the property we acquire to the strategy we put behind it.

Before → After

The Flip

Dated kitchens, worn roofs, deferred maintenance — we take on the properties other buyers pass over and bring them back to a standard the next owner can move into.

Contract → Buyer

The Wholesale

Some properties are a better fit for another investor's plan than ours. We negotiate the deal, then hand it to a buyer in our network ready to close.

Hold → Manage

The Rental

The right property in the right neighborhood becomes part of our portfolio — held, maintained, and rented out for the long run.
