Vacant house

Own a vacant house that is costing you money? Sell it as-is for cash, stop paying taxes, insurance, and utilities, and avoid vacancy risks.

Why a cash sale helps in hard situations

A traditional listing works well for a move-in-ready house and a seller with time. It works less well when the house needs repairs, when the people involved can’t agree, when a lender or court deadline is approaching, or when the owner lives far away. A cash sale removes the steps that usually cause delays: repairs, showings, buyer financing, appraisals and repair negotiations after inspection.

That certainty comes at a price. A cash buyer pays less than a fully renovated house might bring on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, holding costs and risk. The right choice depends on your numbers and your timeline. Our guides walk through both options so you can decide.

No. We don’t charge commissions or fees, and the offer we make is the amount you receive at closing, less any mortgage or liens that get paid off.

How fast can you make an offer?

Most sellers receive a written cash offer within 24 hours of telling us about the house.

What if my situation isn’t listed here?

Call or fill out the form anyway. These are the most common situations we see, but we buy houses for many other reasons, including fire or water damage, hoarder houses, debt, and downsizing.
