About ObtainMeans
Founded to solve real problems — for homeowners who need a fast exit, and for investors who need a reliable lead pipeline.
Built to Solve Real Problems
ObtainMeans was founded in Durham, North Carolina with a single mission: to create a better way for homeowners to sell and for investors to grow.
We saw too many homeowners stuck — dealing with agents who couldn't sell their property fast enough, facing foreclosure, or sitting on inherited homes they didn't want. At the same time, we saw real estate investors wasting thousands on marketing that produced no results.
So we built a company that does both. We buy houses directly from homeowners who need speed and simplicity, and we generate motivated seller leads for investors who need a steady pipeline to grow their business.
We combine real estate expertise with cutting-edge marketing automation and AI-powered follow-up to deliver results for both sides of the market — consistently and transparently.
Meet Noe Velazquez
Founder & CEO, ObtainMeans
Noe Velazquez founded ObtainMeans with the vision of bringing speed, transparency, and fairness to real estate transactions in North Carolina and beyond.
With a background in real estate investing and digital marketing, Noe recognized an opportunity to help two underserved groups: homeowners who needed to sell quickly without the complexity of traditional listings, and investors who struggled to generate consistent deal flow.
ObtainMeans is the result of that insight — a dual-purpose company that creates real value for both homeowners and investors through integrity, speed, and a relentless focus on results.
