Situations we help with.

Every property and every situation is different. Find yours below, and see how we can help.

Probate

When someone passes away, their property often has to go through probate before it can be sold. That can mean court dates, paperwork, and months of carrying costs, all while you’re grieving. Depending on the estate, the sale may need the court’s or the executor’s approval, which can make a traditional listing hard to time.

How we can help

We’re used to probate timelines. We’ll work with you and your attorney, buy the property as-is, and set a closing date that fits the court’s schedule.

Inherited property

Inheriting a property can come with a lot you didn’t plan for: a lifetime of belongings, repairs nobody’s kept up with, taxes, insurance, and family members who may not agree on what to do. Getting it ready to list can take months and real money.

How we can help

Leave it as it is. Take the things that matter to you and leave the rest. We’ll buy the property as-is and handle the cleanout after closing.

Need to sell fast

Sometimes the timeline isn’t up to you: a new job, a family need, or a deadline you can’t move. A traditional sale can take one to three months before you see a dollar, and a buyer’s financing can fall through at the last minute.

How we can help

We pay cash, so there’s no lender to wait on. Our fastest closings take 7–10 days.

Pre-foreclosure

If you’ve fallen behind on mortgage payments and received a notice from your lender, time matters. Once a foreclosure sale happens, you lose control of the outcome, and it can follow your credit for years.

How we can help

Selling before the sale date may let you pay off the loan and keep a foreclosure off your record, depending on what you owe. We can move quickly and work with your lender’s timeline.

Short sale

If you owe more on your mortgage than the property is worth, selling usually means asking your lender to accept less than the full balance. That’s a short sale. It needs the lender’s approval, which can take time and a lot of back-and-forth.

How we can help

We can make a cash offer on the property and work with you and your lender through the approval process. A cash buyer with a firm offer can make that conversation easier.

Major repairs

Foundation problems, an old roof, water or fire damage, or years of deferred maintenance can make a property hard to sell on the open market. Many buyers’ lenders won’t finance a property in rough shape, and fixing it first can cost more than you’ll get back.

How we can help

Sell it exactly as it sits. We factor the repairs into our offer, so you don’t spend a dollar or a weekend fixing anything.

Divorce

When a marriage ends, the property is often the biggest shared asset, and deciding what to do with it can drag everything out. A long listing means more months of shared payments and decisions.

How we can help

A quick, clean cash sale turns the property into a number that’s simple to divide, on a timeline both of you can plan around.

Relocation

A new job, a family move, or a fresh start somewhere else often comes with a hard date. Trying to sell from a distance, or carrying two housing payments while you wait, gets expensive fast.

How we can help

We’ll close on your schedule, whether that’s before you leave or after you’re settled. Take what you want and leave the rest.

Tired landlord

Late rent, repair calls, turnover, and tenants who won’t leave can turn a rental from an investment into a second job. Selling a tenant-occupied property the traditional way usually means waiting for a lease to end or working around tenants for showings.

How we can help

We’ll buy the property with tenants in place, so you don’t have to deal with an eviction or wait out a lease.

Back taxes or liens

Unpaid property taxes, a contractor’s lien, or other claims on a property can make it feel impossible to sell. Penalties and interest keep adding up the longer it sits.

How we can help

In most cases, taxes and liens can be paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, so you don’t need the cash up front. We’ll walk you through what that looks like for your property.

Vacant property

An empty property still costs money every month: taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep. Vacant properties are also more likely to be broken into or damaged, and some insurers charge more or won’t cover them at all.

How we can help

We’ll buy it as-is and close quickly, so the monthly costs and the worry stop.
