Our Story
We Didn't Build Another
"We Buy Houses" Company.
We Built a Better One.
Most cash buyers give you one option and one number. We thought homeowners deserved more — so we built a company that presents every available path, with real numbers for each, and lets you choose the outcome that fits your life.
Close With Creative was founded by Andrzej Lipski, a United States Marine Corps veteran and former Principal Enterprise Architect at AT&T, who combined two decades of systems-thinking expertise with hands-on real estate investing to build a home-selling company offering four structured solutions: Cash Offers, Creative Finance, Novation, and Wholesale. The company has completed over 240 transactions across 30 states with a 4.9-star rating.

Meet the Founder
Andrzej Lipski
CEO & Founder · Close With Creative
I'm a systems thinker. It's what I did for twenty years in enterprise technology — break down complex problems, find every possible path, and engineer the best outcome. When I entered real estate, I realized the entire industry was broken for sellers.
Every "we buy houses" company I studied did the same thing: make one lowball cash offer and hope the seller was desperate enough to take it. There was no analysis. No creativity. No respect for the homeowner's actual situation. I knew there had to be a better way — because I'd spent my entire career finding better ways.
So I built Close With Creative. Not as another cash-buying company, but as a solutions engine — a system that evaluates every property, every seller's goals, and every available exit strategy, then presents all of them with real numbers so the homeowner makes the best decision for their life. Cash. Creative finance. Novation. Wholesale. Four paths, one team, and the choice is always yours.
1993 – 2001
United States Marine Corps
Served 8 years as a Supply Control and Procurement Specialist, managing $3.5M+ across 21 accounts. Learned discipline, accountability, and the value of doing things the right way — even when no one is watching.
2002 – 2021
Two Decades in Enterprise Technology
Rose from Desktop Engineer at Baystate Health to Principal Solutions Architect at AT&T, designing multi-million-dollar cloud, IoT, and 5G solutions for Fortune 500 clients. Led teams of 25+, built platforms from scratch, and developed the systems-thinking approach that now powers every acquisition we make.
2023 – Present
Founded Close With Creative
Launched a vertically integrated acquisitions company delivering four structured solutions to homeowners nationwide. Engineered data-driven lead systems, developed proprietary acquisition strategies including subject-to, novation, and seller financing, and grew revenue 117% year-over-year while maintaining a 4.9-star reputation across every review platform.
I built this company on a simple belief: homeowners deserve to see every option, not just the one that makes us the most money. That's why we present all four paths with transparent numbers — and let you decide. No pressure. No games. Just the right solution for your situation.
Our Mission
"To create win-win opportunities that honor distressed homeowners, empower investors, and strengthen the communities we serve — one property at a time."
— Andrzej Lipski, Founder
What We Stand For
The Principles That Guide Every Deal
These aren't corporate posters on a wall. These are the non-negotiable standards every team member lives by on every single transaction.
Seller Dignity First
People sell homes during the hardest moments of their lives — foreclosure, divorce, death in the family. We treat every seller with the respect and compassion they deserve, not as a "motivated lead" to close.
Systems Over Shortcuts
We don't wing it. Every acquisition is analyzed through a data-driven framework that evaluates market comps, repair costs, exit strategies, and seller goals — then matches the property to the highest-value solution.
Speed with Precision
Marine discipline meets engineering rigor. We move fast because our systems are built to move fast — not because we skip steps. Every document, every title check, every closing is done right.
Community Impact
Every distressed property we acquire and improve raises neighborhood values, removes blight, and puts a home back into productive use. We build wealth for sellers and communities simultaneously.
Continuous Improvement
We obsess over making the process better. Better technology, better communication, better outcomes. If a seller has a frustration, we engineer it out of the system permanently.

Yes. Close With Creative is a registered real estate solutions company operating in 30 states. The company was founded by Andrzej Lipski, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with over 20 years of professional experience across Fortune 500 companies including AT&T. All transactions close through licensed title companies with full legal documentation. We are not real estate agents or brokers — we buy homes directly and connect sellers with our investor network.
Andrzej served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps as a Supply Control and Procurement Specialist. He then spent two decades in enterprise technology, rising to Principal Solutions Architect at AT&T where he designed multi-million-dollar cloud and 5G solutions for Fortune 500 clients. He holds a B.S. in Computer Information Systems from Westfield State University and is Microsoft Azure certified. He founded Close With Creative in 2023 to apply his systems-thinking expertise to real estate, creating a company that offers homeowners multiple structured solutions instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it offer.
Traditional cash buyers give you one number. We present four structured solutions — cash, creative finance, novation, and wholesale — with real numbers for each path. Our founder's background as an enterprise architect means every acquisition runs through a data-driven evaluation system that optimizes for the seller's goals, not ours. The result: higher payouts, more options, and zero pressure.
