About A2B Invest
Phoenix’s Most Credentialed Cash Home Buyer
Most “We Buy Houses” Companies Are a Name, an LLC, and a Website. A2B Invest Is Something Different.
When a seller calls A2B Invest, they’re not talking to someone who finished a weekend real estate course. They’re talking directly to two of the most credentialed real estate professionals in the Phoenix market — the same two people who will evaluate their property, make their offer, and personally handle every step of their transaction from first call to closing.
That’s not a marketing line. It’s simply how we operate.
Meet the Founders
Andrew Ament – Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Andrew Ament brings over 30 years of real estate experience to every transaction at A2B Invest. He is an Arizona Certified Residential Appraiser (License #21472) with 20+ years of active appraisal practice and more than 8,500 completed assignments across Maricopa and Pinal Counties.
His appraisal expertise is what sets A2B Invest apart from every other cash buyer in Phoenix. When Andrew evaluates your property, the number he arrives at is grounded in the same methodology used by banks, lenders, and courts, not an algorithm, not a formula, not a guess. After 8,500 appraisals, he knows exactly what your home is worth.
Andrew is also a licensed Arizona real estate agent (License #SA512290000) and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with a specialization in Commercial Real Estate. He has been an active real estate investor for over 30 years and serves as a Certified Relocation Professional (CRP).

Whether you’re facing a mortgage payoff, equity questions, or a time-sensitive financial situation, Drew has seen it and solved it before.
Before co-founding A2B Invest, Drew served honorably in the United States Navy in the Nuclear Power program as a Machinist Mate, a background that instilled the discipline and precision he brings to every deal. He also spent years traveling the country as part of an elite team teaching real estate investing to thousands of aspiring investors, and hosted a daily real estate radio show on Phoenix’s Money Radio. He has been doing deals in Arizona for nearly 30 years.

Why Our Credentials Matter to You as a Seller
Most cash buyers in Phoenix can make you an offer. Very few can tell you with confidence whether that offer is fair.
When A2B Invest evaluates your property, Andrew’s appraisal expertise ensures our offer reflects what your home is actually worth in today’s market — not a lowball number designed to maximize our margin. When Drew reviews your financial situation, his 30 years of lending and capital experience mean he can navigate complex payoffs, liens, and equity scenarios that would stall or kill a deal with a less experienced buyer.
Together, we cover every side of the transaction:
- Valuation — Andrew’s certified appraisal background
- Investment analysis — 30+ years of active investing between us
- Financial structuring — Drew’s lending and private capital experience
- Sales and closing — both licensed Arizona agents
No other cash buyer in Phoenix brings that combination to the table.
Our Partnership Built on 25 Years of Trust
Drew and Andrew didn’t meet at a real estate seminar. They’ve known each other for over 25 years, dating back to when Drew hired Andrew to manage properties during a condominium conversion project in the late 1990s.
They officially partnered in March 2017 with one clear goal: build a real estate investment business grounded in integrity, expertise, and a genuine commitment to treating sellers fairly. No gimmicks, no bait-and-switch offers, no surprises at the closing table.
That philosophy was put to the test on a recent deal when a seller told us: “Your offer wasn’t the highest I received — but it was the most genuine and the most real, and I knew I wasn’t going to get surprises at the closing table.”
That’s the A2B Invest difference. And it’s why we’re still doing this together nearly a decade later.
What We Buy
We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-family properties throughout Phoenix and Maricopa County — in any condition, any situation:
- Foreclosure or pre-foreclosure
- Probate and inherited properties
- Divorce
- Landlord fatigue and rental properties
- Code violations and deferred maintenance
- Relocation and job transfers
- Any as-is condition
No repairs. No cleaning. No fees or commissions. No surprises at closing.
Licensed, Accredited, and Accountable
Both Drew and Andrew are licensed Arizona real estate agents affiliated with Realty ONE Group. That means you’re not working with an unlicensed wholesaler — you’re working with licensed professionals who are bound by Arizona’s real estate statutes and held to a professional standard of conduct.
You can verify our licenses directly at the Arizona Department of Real Estate: azre.gov. You can verify Andrew’s appraisal license at the Arizona Board of Appraisal: asc.gov
