Selling a house that needs work
A house in good shape can be a challenge to sell. A house in poor shape can sit for months without a serious offer, while it costs you every month it sits.
- No repairs, no painting, no cleaning, no staging
- Leave the furniture and everything else behind
- Fire and water damage, full guts and tear-downs included
Ask about a house needing work
Free, no obligation, and we answer fast.
Why the open market punishes a house that needs work
Most retail buyers are financing. Their lender sends an appraiser, and if the house has an active roof leak, no working heat, or major structural issues, the loan does not fund. That knocks out the majority of the buyer pool before you start.
The buyers who remain are investors making cash offers — and they will find you eventually anyway. The question is whether you spend six months and a real estate commission getting there.
What we take on
- Roof, structural and foundation problems
- Fire, smoke and water damage
- Full gut jobs and complete tear-downs
- Hoarder situations and properties full of belongings
- Long-vacant properties, including ones that have been stripped
- Open code violations and L&I issues
What you do not have to do
Not one repair. No painting, no cleaning, no dumpster, no contractor estimates, no staging, no inspection to negotiate over. Take what you want out of the house and leave the rest exactly where it sits.
Do not spend money fixing it first. Sellers regularly put ten thousand dollars into a house before calling us and it changes our number by less than that. Call before you spend.
Why we can do this
We own a construction company. The crews who rebuild these houses work for us, so we can price the work accurately and fund it immediately. That is why we can commit to a house other buyers only look at.
How selling to us works
Tell us about the house
Two minutes on the form or one phone call. Address, rough condition, and what is going on. You do not need to have anything cleaned up or figured out first.
We check the numbers
We pull the comparable sales, the tax and lien position, and whatever else is on record for the property. Usually same day, always within one business day.
You get a real cash offer
A written, no-obligation number with the math behind it, so you can see how we got there. No fee to hear it and no pressure to take it.
You pick the closing date
Two weeks, two months, or after the holidays. We settle at a title company, you get certified funds, and you leave whatever you do not want behind.
Other situations we handle
Facing foreclosure
Stop the clock. We can close before the sheriff sale date and settle what you owe.
Inherited a property
A house you did not ask for, in a city you may not live in. We handle it end to end.
Administering an estate
Executor duties, probate, and a house to deal with while you are still grieving.
Liens, judgments & title problems
Tax liens, water bills, old mortgages, clouded title. We own a title company.
Problem tenants
Not paying, will not leave, trashing the place. Sell it with them still in it.
Squatters
Someone is living in your property who has no right to be. We deal with it.
Moving to senior care
Free up the equity to pay for care, on a timeline that fits the move-in date.
Out-of-state owner
You do not have to fly in. Everything can be handled remotely and notarized where you are.
Relocating for work
A start date in another state and a house that has not sold yet.
Find out what your house is worth in cash
It takes about two minutes to ask and there is no fee for the answer. If a cash sale is not your best move, we will say so.
