Situations We Buy In
We buy houses in any situation. Pick the group that sounds like you, then follow the link to see exactly how we handle it.
When money is the pressure
Selling a house before foreclosure, selling a house during bankruptcy (Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy), or how to sell a house that needs repairs.
When the property is the problem
Selling an inherited house or how to sell a rental property with tenants in place, including vacant homes left behind.
If Your Situation Isn't Listed
Don't assume we can't help. We have worked with homeowners in circumstances very similar to yours, including vacant and distressed homes. Tell us what is going on and we will say plainly whether we can buy. Whether you are selling a house in Maryland, selling a house in Virginia or selling a house in Washington DC, we can help.
Selling a House Before Foreclosure
Missed payments lead to a notice of default and then a sale date. Selling before the auction can protect your credit and any equity you have. We make a fair cash offer and close on a timeline that beats your deadline.
Selling an Inherited House
An inherited or probate home brings grief, family decisions, a house to clear and bills that keep arriving. We buy the property as-is, belongings included, and work with your attorney or personal representative, even if heirs live out of state.
Selling a Property During a Divorce
Dividing a home while dividing a life is draining. A traditional listing means showings, staging and months tied together. A direct cash sale gives you one offer, one closing date and a clean split of the proceeds.
Every Situation We Help With
Each situation has its own page with the details, timelines and answers. Choose yours, or call us if it is not listed.

Talk to UsWhat Every Seller Gets, Whatever the Situation
No matter which situation brought you here, every seller gets the same protections: a written deposit, no hidden costs and a closing date you choose. Here is how that compares with a traditional listing.
Our $10,000 Non-Refundable Deposit
Every contract includes a $10,000 non-refundable deposit held by the title company. If we do not close, you keep it. Verify our accreditations and 40-year history before you sign.
No Fees, No Commissions, No Repairs
No agent commissions, no listing fees and no hidden charges. We pay standard closing costs and buy as-is, so our offer is generally what you walk away with.
Your Closing Date, Not Ours
Need to move in days? We can close in as little as 3 days. Need time to plan your next step? You choose the date and we work around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what homeowners ask us most.
Can you buy my house as-is?
Yes. We specialize in purchasing homes in their current condition. You don't need to repair, prepare the house for showings, or do any kind of cleaning.
What if I'm behind on payments?
If you're behind on your mortgage, time is critical. We can often move quickly to provide a solution that helps you avoid further financial consequences, including selling a house before foreclosure.
Do I need to make repairs?
No. Whether the issues are cosmetic or structural, we factor the condition into our offer so you don't have to invest additional money.
Can you buy a house with tenants?
Yes. We buy homes with tenants in place and work carefully to respect existing rental agreements. Tenant-occupied sales can involve notice periods under Maryland and DC tenant purchase rules, which can extend the timeline, and we will explain what applies to your property.
Can I sell while I'm in bankruptcy?
Often yes, but it usually needs approval from your trustee or the court. Whether you are in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, we work within legal timelines and coordinate with your attorney so the sale fits your case.
Can I sell a house I inherited before probate finishes?
Often yes, depending on who has legal authority to sell. A personal representative or executor can usually sell once appointed by the court, and some heirs may need to sign. We work with your attorney or estate representative so the sale fits the probate timeline.
What if my situation isn't on your list?
Call us. We have helped homeowners in circumstances very similar to yours, including vacant and distressed homes. Tell us what is going on and we will say plainly whether we can buy.
How fast can you actually close?
We can close in as little as 3 days when the title is clear and you need to move quickly. If you need more time, you choose the closing date. Sales involving tenants, probate or bankruptcy can take longer because notice periods and approvals apply.
