Hoarder Houses Are Overwhelming

Excessive clutter, deferred maintenance, or hoarding situations can make a house unsellable through traditional means. Cleanup can cost thousands of dollars and take weeks or months. Many buyers won't even consider a hoarder house.

Real Example

A homeowner in Jacksonville had a hoarder house that was unsellable. The cleanup would have cost $15,000+ and taken months. Traditional buyers wouldn't even look at it. We bought the house for $180,000, handled all cleanup ourselves, and the seller avoided the stress and expense entirely.

Legal Questions Specific to Your Situation

Not when selling to us. We buy houses as-is with all contents included. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the entire cleanout, disposal, and any necessary remediation after closing.
