Your West Texas Neighbors
At Bitter Creek Investments, we’re more than just cash home buyers in Abilene; we’re your neighbors. As a family-owned business based in West Texas, we focus on buying houses in Abilene while keeping the process local and personal.
Our story began in Sweetwater in 1977 when our family opened Jim Petrie Chevrolet. This was the first of many businesses we’d go on to build here in West Texas. Over the years, we expanded into other towns and industries, and in 1997, Abilene became part of our journey. After decades of working hard and running family owned businesses, we started Bitter Creek Investments, LLC in 2020 as a way to put our experience to work in a new way. We now buy houses here in Abilene with the same honesty, respect, and straight talk that have guided us since the beginning.
With family in Abilene and Sweetwater, this is our home, where we’ve raised our children and built deep ties. We cherish honesty, treat people with respect, support local businesses, and stay true to our values as a veteran friendly company. From Friday night lights to everyday life, we’re not just buying homes, we’re investing in and strengthening our West Texas community.
