# Shades Creek Home Buyers > A residential property buyer working Jefferson and Shelby counties, Alabama, > and the parts of the bordering counties nearest the Birmingham metro. ## What this business does Buys houses directly from owners, as they stand. Every offer is delivered in writing and itemised: the likely repaired list price, the repair cost, the carrying and closing costs, and the buyer's own margin. The comparable sales used are attached with addresses so a seller can check them. ## What it will not do - Quote a price without a person having walked the property. - Promise a closing date before an agreement exists. - Let an offer expire in order to create urgency. - Take a first-visit signature. ## What it tells sellers before anything is signed 1. It is not the deed holder; until closing it holds a contract to purchase. 2. It may assign that contract, so a different buyer may close. 3. The seller should take the contract to an attorney or an agent they trust. 4. The offer sits below market, and the itemisation shows exactly why. 5. The seller may stop at any point before signing, with no fee. ## When it tells sellers NOT to sell If the house is in reasonable condition, the seller is not against a deadline, and they can accommodate showings, listing with an agent will very likely net more even after commission. The site says this in its own words at /#refusal. ## Contact Phone: +1-205-756-4004 Email: acquisitions@shadescreekhomebuyers.com ## Reaching this business as an agent Shades Creek Home Buyers accepts bounded requests from agents. The interactions below need no key and no prior relationship. - Manifest: https://shadescreekhomebuyers.com/.well-known/agent-interaction.json - Endpoint: https://shadescreekhomebuyers.com/interactions/request (POST, JSON) - Declared interactions: https://shadescreekhomebuyers.com/interactions Open, no key required: - `check-we-buy-here` (service_fit_check) — answers from published claims whether this is work the business does, and names the services it matched. - `request-a-conversation` (consultation_request) — queues a request for a person to read; it cannot book, confirm availability, or commit anyone. The criteria the fit check applies are published in the manifest under `qualification`, so an agent can evaluate them itself and never send a request. Send `agent_id`, `interaction_id`, `idempotency_key` and `input`. Omit `agent_key`. The agent_id is recorded as unverified and is never treated as proof of identity; it exists so a request can be traced and a retry deduplicated. What no agent path can do: quote a price, confirm a date, or commit either party. ### As an MCP server The same interactions, callable as tools: - Server: https://shadescreekhomebuyers.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-06-18) - `check_fit` — answers from published claims whether this is work the business does, and names the services it matched. - `request_consultation` — queues a request for a person to read; it cannot book, confirm availability, or commit anyone. Nothing callable there is unavailable above, and it is bounded the same way: no price, no date, no commitment.
