Who Are We?

About Us

American Home Buyer is a local and family-owned real estate investment company that started here in Houston in 1998.

We are not realtors. We specialize in buying residential properties in “as-is” condition. We have bought and sold hundreds of houses, townhomes, and condominiums in the Houston and surrounding areas (from Conroe to Galveston and from Katy to Baytown). The Better Business Bureau gives us an A+ rating, so you know you are dealing with trusted professionals.

As you can tell from our reviews from happy customers, American Home Buyer strives to make sure every home we buy puts the customer’s needs first. Of course, we need to make a profit, but you must get a fair price, so we always look for “win-win” solutions. We are real people, all living right here in the Houston area, with families just like you. We will meet with you and be accessible to you by phone anytime you need us through this process.

We Can’t Wait to Meet You

Meet The Team

  • Mika Self
    Mika Self Investor and Chief Executive Officer

    “Our Core Values are not just words on the wall, but truly a way of life. I am humbled to lead a team that embodies honoring God in all we do. Watching God work, in and through our team, to serve families that need to sell their house, is a true blessing. Other than time with my family, Monday is my favorite day.”

  • Doug Harris
    Doug Harris Property Manager

    “After a 26-year career with ExxonMobil, I pivoted into real estate investing, which ultimately led me to American Home Buyer — where I enjoy working with contractors to provide quality housing across Houston. I value being part of a team that makes tangible differences in people’s lives, especially hearing the relief and joy from tenants when issues are resolved.
    I come from a resilient family focused on living out our faith in everyday moments. On weekends, I enjoy staying active with my kids and grandkids, serving others with my wife, and occasionally playing chess or watching sports on TV. “

  • Nathan Renaud
    Nathan Renaud Home Buying Specialist

    “It’s easy for me to be passionate about my role at American Home Buyer because I love helping people solve problems and making the selling process stress-free. I’m grateful to work at a company that practices true values and integrity, treating every homeowner with respect, no matter their situation. It’s even more fulfilling to be part of a team that shares my belief in serving others with compassion and honesty, all while giving glory to God. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, enjoying outdoor activities, and exploring the city. Sundays are my favorite—they’re all about church, cutting the grass, washing the cars, and having a good ol’ barbecue. Fun fact: I once made it on the jumbotron at a San Diego Padres game!”

    “I love the culture and purpose at American Home Buyer, and I especially love learning from the leadership team here. It’s a space that supports my values, with an emphasis on honesty and doing things with purpose. In my position, I truly enjoy the opportunity to help people. I’m inspired every day by my family to be the best version of myself, and on weekends, you’ll find me recharging with them, enjoying outdoor activities with my kids. And yes, it’s true—I may surprise people, but I consider myself an introvert!”

    “The opportunity to grow professionally while helping people in meaningful ways led me to customer service and to American Home Buyer, where I value the supportive team culture, focus on learning, and real impact we make for homeowners. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my supportive, outgoing family, getting back into running, and balancing life as a mom of two who recently returned to school—also, fair warning, I hit curbs more often than I’d like to admit.”

  • Rolly Leguizamon

    “I am proud to work for a company that supports my beliefs and is not ashamed about our faith in Jesus Christ. As a believer, I get to represent Him in my work by helping sellers and buyers accomplish their goals. In my free time, I enjoy biking and traveling. I come from a loving, caring, and brave family. “

  • Brad Murdoch

    “My favorite part of working at American Home Buyer is the mission to Glorify God. I also enjoy meeting people from all different walks of life, and helping them through the process of selling their home. Aside from work, I cherish time with my family (we have 3 kids!), as well as sports and shooting. I recently moved to Texas from Canada and that transformation for me and my family has really strengthened my faith.”

  • April Fisher
    April Fisher Customer Service Manager

    “It’s easy for me to be passionate about my role at American Home Buyer because I love the feeling you get when you receive great customer service, and I want to spread that same feeling to others. Also, its pretty amazing to work at a company that openly gives glory to God in everything we do! In my free time, i enjoy video games and recently rediscovered my fondness for reading a good book. But my greatest love is spending time with family and my pets, we are a bunch of goofballs!”

  • Melissa Pedraza
    Melissa Pedraza Customer Service Representative

    “I am driven by my faith in Christ to help and connect with people, even in the smallest ways. Reading , photography and new movies are my favorite hobbies, but I love spending time with my family, going to church, and traveling. I am grateful that in my Customer Service role, I am free to allow my faith to guide me and bring joy and comfort to others in times of uncertainty. “

  • Scott Baker
    Scott Baker Chief of Operations & Marketing

    “Working for American Home Buyer allows me to live out my faith in Christ as well as pursue my passions for Marketing and Business. I was fortunate to have parents who were in Real Estate and moved us around the world to places like Iran and Dubai. I enjoy drumming, painting, and spending time with my family, especially my wife, our 8 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.“

    “I’m a tech enthusiast driven by my passion to help others. At American Home Buyer, I love our welcoming family environment where we work as a team towards a common goal, serving God. My role allows me to utilize resources to help others. Our Christ-like values inspire me to better myself in all I do. In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, playing video games, chess, running, and horse riding. You’d be surprised to know, I’ve ridden in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo parade! “

  • Carter Hedges
    Carter Hedges Marketing Assistant Specialist

    “I think the thing I like most about working at American Home Buyer is how kind all my colleagues are and our unique prayer culture – we pray about everything! On weekends, I like to explore national parks with my large family and three dogs. Surprisingly, I’m quite acrobatic from my parkour days. Once, I even survived getting lost on a mountain! As a Christian, I strive to excel in all I do and I enjoy seeing happy faces when I can lend a helping hand. “
