A Cleveland real estate investment company.
Potenza Realty Group acquires, renovates, and holds residential and commercial property across Cuyahoga County. Selling a house? We make cash offers in 24 hours — as-is, no fees, no agents. Investing? We move off-market deals to our buyer list first.
Buy. Renovate. Hold.
We're not a lead-generation site or a national franchise. Potenza is a local operator with its own portfolio — every deal we touch, we either buy, renovate, or place with an investor we know.
We buy houses for cash
Direct purchases across Cuyahoga County — any condition, any situation. Inherited homes, tax trouble, tired rentals, properties full of stuff. Fair offers, fast closings, no commissions.
We renovate & resell
We take distressed properties through full rehabs and return them to the market as quality housing — improving the block, not just flipping paper.
We hold income property
Our own portfolio includes single-family rentals, apartments, and mixed-use commercial space. We buy to keep, which means we underwrite like owners — because we are.
Three steps. No surprises.
From first call to cash in hand. Most sellers go from "just looking into it" to closed in under two weeks.
Tell us about the property
Fill out the short form below or call us. Address, condition, and your timeline — that's all we need. No obligation, no pressure.
Get your cash offer
We run the numbers on real local comps and make a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours — and walk you through exactly how we got there.
Close on your schedule
Accept, and we close through a licensed Ohio title company on the date you choose — as fast as 7 days, or longer if you need time to move.
A real portfolio, not a promise
Everything below is property we've actually bought, sold, or currently own and operate in Cuyahoga County.
Residential holdings
Three single-family homes — one held as a rental — and three apartment units, two of them currently rented. Another single-family acquisition closes next month and goes straight into rehab.
Commercial & mixed-use
A commercial/residential building with two occupied apartments and two commercial units — all four producing rent. Owning commercial changes how we underwrite: we think in income, not just resale.
Dispositions
Two houses and one apartment sold, plus two wholesale assignments and one joint venture — the deals that built the capital base for the portfolio.
What's next
Active acquisition targets in Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Euclid, with a long-term roadmap toward infill and ground-up development in Cleveland.
Built from the ground up
Mohammed Al Bandr grew up in Cleveland and started Potenza Realty Group at 18 — wholesaling his first deals to build the capital for his first property purchase. From there, wholesaling became flipping, and flipping became a portfolio.
Today Potenza owns and operates single-family rentals, apartments, and a mixed-use commercial building across Cuyahoga County, with new acquisitions and rehabs in the pipeline. The model is simple: buy right, renovate well, hold what produces income — and treat every seller and investor like the long-term relationships this business is built on.
The long-term vision goes further than flips: developing in the Cleveland neighborhoods Mohammed grew up around, turning vacant lots and tired buildings into housing the city actually needs.
Get your cash offer
Takes about 60 seconds. We'll reach out within 24 hours with your offer — no obligation, and your information is never sold.
Get off-market Cleveland deals first
We move discounted, off-market properties across Cuyahoga County — flips, BRRRRs, and rentals. Join the investor list and tell us your buy box. When a deal matches, you hear about it before anyone else.
Frequently asked
Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?
None. The offer is free, and you're never obligated to accept it. Plenty of homeowners use our offer simply to understand their options — that's fine with us.
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at recent sales of similar homes in your immediate area, estimate the cost of repairs the property needs, and work backward from there. We'll show you the numbers — nothing is hidden.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house?
No. We buy completely as-is. Leave behind anything you don't want — furniture, junk, all of it. It's not your problem after closing.
What if I'm behind on taxes or the mortgage?
That's one of the most common situations we work with. Back taxes, liens, and mortgage payoffs are handled through the title company at closing, out of the sale proceeds.
Are you agents? Will I pay a commission?
We're not agents and there's no commission. Potenza is a real estate investment company buying directly — the offer you accept is the amount that goes to the closing table, minus whatever you owe on the property.
How fast can you actually close?
As fast as 7 days if the title is clean, since there's no bank financing to wait on. If you need more time, we close on whatever date works for you.
