How we help

Selling a house that needs major repairs

Foundation problems, a failing roof, mold, a bad sewer line, open code violations or a house that hasn't been touched in 40 years: we buy it as it is.

Why repairs make a listed sale hard

Most buyers use a loan, and lenders won't fund houses with major defects. The buyers who are left ask for big credits after the inspection or walk away. Many sellers end up paying for repairs just to get to closing.

How we price repairs

We run our own renovation crew and price every job from what we actually spend, not a padded contractor bid. The repair estimate is a line on your written offer, and we will walk you through it.

Code violations and permits

Open code enforcement cases, unpermitted additions and red-tagged structures are part of what we buy. We take on the permits and the fixes after closing.

Questions people ask

Will you buy a house with foundation problems?

Yes. We price the repair and buy it as-is.

What about unpermitted work or code violations?

We buy those too, and we handle the permits after closing.

Do I have to clean the house?

No. Leave what you don't want.
