Local Prescott Real Estate Investors
We live here, work here, and invest here—active in our hometown community.
About Ridge Investing LLC
Ridge Investing is a Prescott-based real estate investment company founded by Dave Koopman, a longtime Prescott area resident. We’re not a national franchise or an out-of-state corporation. We’re your neighbors.
We focus exclusively on our own backyard—primarily the Prescott area ZIP codes 86301, 86303, and 86305. These are the neighborhoods we know intimately because we live here.
Why We Do This
Real estate investment isn’t just about making money. It’s about:
- Providing honest options for homeowners who need to sell—starting with MLS when it fits, creative solutions when it doesn’t
- Improving properties and neighborhoods in our community
- Creating quality housing options for local families and renters
- Building long-term value right here in Prescott
Ridge Investing was started with a simple mission: be the investor who gives homeowners honest advice, even when that means recommending they list on the MLS instead. Too many out-of-state investors approach sellers with one goal: buy low. That’s not how Ridge Investing operates.
Our Fair, Transparent Approach
Option 1 is always the MLS. If listing your home on the open market is the right answer for your situation, I’ll say so honestly—and I won’t pressure you into a direct sale. A traditional listing often nets you more money, and you deserve to know that upfront.
When a direct sale makes sense—because of time, condition, complexity, or personal circumstances—here’s how Ridge Investing’s offer works. Let’s be honest: we’re running a business, and we need to make a profit. We believe profit and fairness aren’t mutually exclusive.
When we make you an offer, we show you our math. Here’s typically how it works:
- We evaluate your home’s After Repair Value (what it would sell for in excellent condition)
- We estimate repair and renovation costs needed to get it there
- We factor in holding costs, closing costs, and our profit margin
- What’s left is our offer to you
You get the benefit of a fast, certain sale with zero hassle. We take on the risk, the work, and the time. It’s a fair exchange.
Who We Help
I work with Prescott homeowners in a wide range of situations. Sometimes the MLS is the right answer—and I’ll tell you that honestly. Here are common situations where a direct sale or creative solution may make more sense:
Inherited Properties & Probate
Dealing with an inherited house—especially during probate—is emotionally and logistically challenging. We guide you through the process and make fair offers on properties in any condition.
Pre-Foreclosure & Financial Difficulty
Facing foreclosure is stressful. We can often close fast enough to help you avoid foreclosure on your record, and we treat you with dignity throughout the process.
Divorce & Separation
When a relationship ends, the last thing you want is a prolonged house sale adding more stress. We can buy out one party, split the proceeds, and help you both move forward.
Out-of-State Owners
Managing a Prescott property from across the country is a headache. We buy properties remotely and handle all the details so you don’t have to keep flying back.
Tired Landlords
Being a landlord isn’t for everyone. If you’re done dealing with tenant issues, repairs, and management headaches, we’ll buy your rental property and let you cash out.
Properties Needing Major Repairs
Foundation problems? Roof damage? Deferred maintenance? We buy houses in any condition and handle all the repairs ourselves.
Any Reason You Need to Sell
Maybe you’re relocating for work. Maybe you’re downsizing. Maybe the house just has bad memories. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help without judgment.
What Makes Ridge Investing Different
Local Focus
We’re not national investors. We’re Prescott residents investing in Prescott properties. We understand the local market, we know the neighborhoods, and we care about our community’s future.
No Pressure, Ever
Our job is to present you with an option, not to pressure you into taking it. If our offer doesn’t work for you, that’s perfectly fine. We want you to make the best decision for your situation.
Fast but Flexible
We typically close in 2-4 weeks, but we’re flexible. If you need more time to find your next place or coordinate your move, we’ll work with your timeline.
Clear Communication
You’ll always know where you stand in the process. We return calls, answer questions, and explain everything in plain language.
Our Commitment to Prescott
Integrity First
We do what we say we’ll do. If we make an offer, we follow through. If we give you a timeline, we hit it.
Community Investment
Every property we improve strengthens our community. We take pride in bringing properties back to life and helping them reach their full potential.
Win/Win/Win
We only do deals where everyone benefits: the seller gets a solution, we make a fair profit, and the next owner or renter gets a quality home.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprises, no fine print. We explain our process, show our math, and answer all your questions.
