What Repairs Will We Buy Around?
Almost anything. If it's broken, leaking or outdated, we still buy.
- Roof, foundation and structural problems
- Old systems and failed inspections
- Water, mold, fire and hoarding
Structural: Foundation, Roof and Sagging Floors
Cracked foundations, leaking roofs and soft floors are the most common houses we buy.
Systems: HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing and Old Oil Tanks
Dead furnaces, old wiring, failing pipes and buried oil tanks, a common DMV issue, are all fine.
Damage: Water, Mold, Fire and Hoarding
Heavy damage or a full house is no problem, including when selling an inherited house.
Should You Fix Your House or Sell It As-Is?
Big repairs cost more, take longer and rarely return every dollar at sale.

Talk to UsFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most.
Do I need to make any repairs?
No, you don't need to make a single repair before selling to us. We buy houses as-is, whether the problem is a leaking roof, a cracked foundation or an outdated kitchen. Our offer already accounts for the work. You skip contractor quotes, permits and months of waiting, and you never spend your own money fixing a house you are selling.
Will you buy a house with foundation problems?
Yes, we buy houses with foundation problems regularly. Cracked walls, sinking floors, bowing basement walls and water intrusion are all common in older DMV homes. Many buyers with loans walk away when an inspector finds foundation issues, because lenders won't finance them. We pay cash, so the problem doesn't stop the sale or change our price later, even after we see it.
Can I sell a house with mold?
Yes, we buy houses with mold, from a damp basement to serious mold behind walls. You don't need to pay for testing or remediation first. Mention what you know so we can price it fairly. Selling to a cash buyer avoids the risk of a buyer backing out after an inspection report, which is common with mold and often happens weeks into a listing.
Do I have to disclose problems if I sell as-is?
Usually yes, you still share what you know, even in an as-is sale. Maryland allows a disclaimer but still requires known hidden defects to be disclosed. Virginia is mostly buyer beware, and DC sellers generally complete a disclosure form. With us, being open about problems helps, because we price them in upfront. This is general information, not legal advice, so check with your attorney.
Do I need to clean the house?
No, you don't need to clean, empty or stage anything. Leave furniture, trash, old appliances and anything else you don't want, and we handle it after closing. This matters most for hoarding situations and houses that have sat vacant for years. Take what is important to you, then simply hand over the keys at closing and walk away without a single trip to the dump.
Will your offer change after the inspection?
No, our offer does not drop after we see the house. We do one short walkthrough before the final offer, and our contracts have no inspection contingency. Every contract includes a $10,000 non-refundable deposit. If we fail to close at the agreed price and date, you keep the deposit. That is how we back our word, in writing, on every house we buy.
Can you buy a house with code violations?
Yes, we buy houses with open code violations, unpermitted work, expired permits and city notices. You don't need to fix them or close out permits before selling. Outstanding fines can usually be paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We deal with the city after we own the house, so the problem leaves with the sale and never follows you to your next home.
How do you calculate your offer?
We start with what the house would be worth after repairs, based on recent nearby sales. Then we subtract the cost of the work it needs, our holding and resale costs, and a modest margin. We share the reasoning behind the number. There are no agent commissions, and we pay standard closing costs, so the offer is what you walk away with.
