Does a vacant house sell for less?

Vacant properties can sometimes sell for less through traditional channels because they're harder to show and may have maintenance issues. However, we make fair offers based on the property's as-is value regardless of occupancy status.

What if the property has been vandalized?

We buy properties in any condition, including those that have been vandalized or damaged. Contact us and we'll evaluate the property and make a fair offer.

Understanding Vacant Property

A vacant property is one that is not currently occupied by the owner or any tenant. Vacant properties present a unique set of challenges: they're expensive to maintain, they're vulnerable to vandalism and deterioration, and they can attract code violations from local municipalities. Every month a property sits vacant, the owner is paying insurance, property taxes, and potentially utilities without receiving any income from the property.

Your Options

Owners of vacant properties have several options. You can attempt to rent the property, though finding and managing tenants takes time and effort. You can list the property for sale through a traditional real estate agent, though vacant properties can be harder to sell and may require repairs to attract buyers. Or you can sell to a cash buyer, which eliminates the carrying costs quickly and provides certainty that the sale will close.
