Buy a home in Dayton; it doesn’t have to feel complicated, competitive, or confusing.

Fill out the forms below to share your preferences, and our team will match you with the best options available.

Why Buy a Home in Dayton With Dayton Proper?

1. We Own the Inventory — 600+ Homes Across the Greater Dayton Area

Dayton Proper isn’t just another real estate company.
We actively acquire, renovate, manage, and maintain a massive portfolio of over 600 homes throughout the Dayton region. Because we control the inventory:

Homes don’t get caught in bidding wars
Buyers get first access to off-market properties
You avoid dealing with multiple sellers, too many agents, and negotiations
We can tailor the search directly to your needs

Many of our homes are currently rented, but as soon as we know what you’re looking for, we can identify which properties are becoming available—or even transition a home specifically for you.

When you buy direct from our inventory, the process becomes smoother, faster, and far more affordable.

2. No Realtor Fees. No Closing Costs. No Surprises.

When you purchase a home from Dayton Proper’s owned inventory:

You pay no realtor commissions
You pay no traditional closing costs
You avoid inflated fees that often come with retail real estate transactions

These savings can total $8,000–$15,000 or more on a typical Dayton home purchase.

Because we eliminate the middlemen, we pass those savings directly to our buyers—and that creates opportunities you won’t find with traditional real estate firms.

3. Down Payment Assistance (Available on Select Inventory)

Buying a home is often limited by one thing: the down payment.

When you buy directly from our inventory—because we don’t pay realtor commissions and if you work with our lending partners, we avoid unnecessary closing costs. As a result, we’re able to redirect those savings into down payment assistance, helping buyers:

Lower their upfront cash requirement
Get approved more easily
Move into homeownership faster

Not every home qualifies, but many do. When you fill out the form below, our team will review your goals and show you the options that best fit your budget and timeline.

What If We Don’t Have Your Dream Home in Our Current Inventory?

Not a problem.

Dayton Proper employs licensed realtors who can help you explore every available option on the market. If the perfect home isn’t in our owned inventory, we’ll search the MLS, evaluate neighborhoods, schedule showings, and advocate for you throughout the buying process.

You get:

A dedicated real estate professional
Transparent guidance
Local expertise
Full service support

Whether you buy from us or another seller, you’ll still have Dayton Proper’s team in your corner—start to finish.
