Will you buy a hoarder house?

Property Condition · Updated

Yes, and regularly

We buy hoarder houses regularly. You do not clean out anything. We handle it after closing.

Extreme clutter, blocked rooms, biohazard concerns, possible pest issues, we have walked through all of it. Our offer is based on the house as it stands: damage, clutter, smell and all.

How we price them

Cleanup is a line item, not a reason to walk away. The cleanup cost we typically factor in runs from about 3,000 dollars to 30,000 dollars or more depending on severity.

The other thing we account for is what is underneath. Hoarder homes often have structural damage hidden beneath the clutter, water that ran unnoticed, floors that have taken years of weight, systems that quietly failed. We assume that risk ourselves. Our offer is based on our own walkthrough, and we do not come back after signing with an inspection-based reduction.

Nobody is going to make you explain

There is no version of this conversation where we act shocked. Some of our sellers are the person who lives there. Many are an adult child or an executor who opened the door for the first time in years and found something far worse than they feared. Both calls are normal here.

You do not have to organize a single room, throw anything away, or let us in on a good day. One walkthrough, whatever it looks like, and a written offer in 24 hours.

What happens next

You take what matters to you, and you leave. Everything else stays where it is; we clear it after closing at our cost. Closing runs 14 to 30 days from an accepted offer, on whatever date you pick.

No judgment. No shame. Just an honest offer. We buy houses in every condition every week, and whatever shape yours is in, we have seen similar.

Related questions

  • Can I sell a house with liens, back taxes or code violations?

    Often, yes. We handle liens, unpaid property taxes and code violations at closing in most cases. We will research the issues and include the solutions in our written offer, so you know exactly what happens before you sign.

  • Do I need to clean out the house before you come?

    No. Leave everything: dirty dishes, old furniture, decades of belongings, whatever is there. Our walkthrough works around existing conditions, and we dispose of what is left after closing.

  • Do I still have to fill out a seller disclosure if I sell as-is?

    Usually yes. Selling "as is" removes the obligation to repair, not the obligation to disclose. N.C. Chapter 47E requires a Residential Property Disclosure Statement for most residential transfers, though you may answer "No Representation", and estate and foreclosure transfers are exempt.

  • Do you buy homes with fire damage?

    Yes. We have bought homes with minor fire damage and homes that need rebuilding from the studs. Even totally destroyed homes can sometimes be purchased for land value plus whatever we can salvage.
