We are Grail Homes
Grail Homes is a family owned business, operated by Detroit natives who still spend much of their time operating in the city of Detroit. At Grail Homes, our team is highly motivated, knowledgeable, ethical, and resourceful. We provide win-win solutions to help homeowners get rid of unwanted properties fast, for cash so that they can continue to do the things they love.
We Live Where We Invest
Grail Homes has been purchasing property in Metro Detroit since 2015. We also live in the neighborhoods we are investing in and have closed hundreds of homes since our inception. We work with many homeowners, including the following situations: inherited properties, relocating, out-of-state, downsizing, facing foreclosure, vacancies, tired property owners, divorce, as well as those who do not have the money to repair their homes. Whatever the situation, we’re willing to work with you to buy your Metro Detroit house! Don’t let your unwanted property frustrate you, let us buy your Metro Detroit house now, regardless of condition.
Small Business
We are not the national business who makes blind offers on your home to get you to sign your properties off. We make educated offers based on the comparable properties in the neighborhood after we visit the home.
Why Grail Homes?
We are Actually a Cash Buyer
Many “investors” that you might have spoken to claim to be cash buyers, but they simply plan to wholesale your property without any cash out of their own pocket. If it came to the point that they needed to actually purchase your property, they would be unable to do so. Grail Homes might consider selling the property to one of our partners, but we are always backed with the ability to close. No matter what, we will close on your property and get the cash in your hands. It is always a good practice to require Proof of Funds from an investor before signing a contract. You can see our Proof of Funds on pg. 3.
We’ll Help With Your Moving Expenses
Don’t have enough cash to move what you want? The Grail Homes Move Program will provide up to $1,000 upfront to help you move. You can get everything you need to out of the house, and the expense will simply be deducted from your proceeds at closing.
We’ll Help You Find a New Home
Grail Homes has a large network of agents and lenders that we work with regularly. We can help alleviate the added stress of finding a new home by helping you with your search and securing financing to make that dream a reality. We are here for you every step of the way!
We Pay Your Closing Costs
Generally speaking, it is standard practice for the seller to pay all closing costs and realtor commissions. This is another way we help you get the most out of your home. We will pay the closing costs for you and there are no realtor commissions, leaving you with the most money possible in your pocket from the sale of your home.
Leave Unwanted Items
Whatever you don’t want to take from the home, just leave it and we will take care of it! Don’t worry about cleaning out all the belongings or sweeping the floors, Grail Homes will purchase your home as-is — you can take what you want and leave what you don’t!
Turn Your Rental Property Into Cash
If you are a property owner, the difference between prosperity and poverty can be a few bad tenants. When the true cost of owning and maintaining a property begins to outweigh the benefits of being a property owner, it’s time to contact us! We turn your rental property into cash for you, removing the headaches of dealing with terrible tenants and letting you get back to enjoying your time and money. If you’re tired of dealing with problem tenants, it’s time to call us!

ERIC FRIDAY
OWNER
Eric founded GRAIL HOMES formerly known – DET Property Solutions in 2015, but his real journey in real estate investing began in 2014. At the time, Eric was working as an engineer and was looking for new ways to build wealth and achieve financial freedom. That’s when he discovered the POWER of REAL ESTATE INVESTING. He invested thousands of dollars and plenty of time in his education to learn more about real estate. In 2015, he purchased his first house from a tax auction for only $1100! It was a small 2 bed 1 bath 700 sq ft property, but it taught him invaluable lessons about rehabbing and managing contractors. Throughout the year, he worked hard to rehab the property, and it has since become a successful rental property generating over $50,000 in rental income with very minimum expenses, repairs, and maintenance. From there, he continued to expand his portfolio by wholesaling properties, buying and flipping, and acquiring more rentals. In 2020, He was laid off from his job, which gave him the opportunity to pursue real estate investing full time. And in 2021, he and his partners acquired a 52-unit apartment complex in Royal Oak, Michigan, which was a huge milestone in his journey.
“My experience in real estate investing has taught me that success comes from hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to take calculated risks. I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others achieve their financial goals through real estate investing. When you work with me and my team, you can trust that we’ll provide you with the guidance, support, and resources you need to succeed.” -Eric Friday
