Distressed & as-is property
Sell a house that needs work — no repairs, no cleanup, no judgment
Foundation, roof, plumbing, fire, water, hoarding, decades of deferred maintenance. These are the houses we actually want. You don't have to fix a thing or clean a thing.
What we mean by "any condition"
Retail buyers need a house to appraise and pass an inspection to get a loan. When it can't do either, the listing sits, the price drops, and eventually the only people making offers are cash buyers anyway — after you've spent four months finding that out. Skipping to the end saves you the months.

Why our repair numbers are realistic
We renovate houses. We've paid for foundation piers in Ridgmar, full re-pipes in White Settlement, and complete roof replacements after Tarrant County hail. That experience cuts both ways for you: we won't be shocked by what we find, and we can't justify padding an estimate to buy ourselves a cushion. When we tell you the roof is a $14,000 line item, we can show you why.
It also means our offers hold. The reason so many cash offers get renegotiated after inspection is that the buyer quoted a number over the phone without ever looking at the house. We walk it first — and then the number is the number.
Inherited and probate properties
A large share of the as-is houses we buy came to someone through an estate. Typically the house is full, the systems are original, the heirs live in different states, and everyone is trying to settle something none of them asked for. We're used to it: we can coordinate with an executor or attorney, work around probate timing, close remotely so nobody has to fly in, and buy the house with forty years of belongings still inside it.
Tired of being a landlord
Fort Worth rentals with deferred maintenance and a difficult tenant are a specific kind of exhausting. We buy tenant-occupied — you don't have to evict anyone, chase back rent, or get the property empty. We take it subject to the lease and deal with it from there.

Describe the condition honestly — it genuinely doesn't scare us off, and accurate information means an accurate offer.
FAQ
As-is selling questions
My house has foundation problems. Will you still buy it?
Yes — and foundation movement is one of the most common things we see in Fort Worth. Our clay soils shrink and swell dramatically between wet and dry seasons, and houses built in the 1950s and 60s across West Fort Worth, Benbrook and White Settlement move as a result. We get engineer's estimates on real jobs regularly, so we price it from experience rather than guessing high to protect ourselves.
The house has been vacant for years. Does that matter?
Only to your offer, not to whether we'll buy it. Long-vacant houses often have copper theft, water damage from freeze breaks, mold, rodents, and code citations. We've bought all of it. What matters more is whether the title is clean and taxes are current.
There's fire or water damage. Is that a dealbreaker?
No. Insurance-loss properties are a normal part of what we buy. If there's an open claim, tell us — sometimes it makes more sense for you to settle the claim first and sometimes it's cleaner to sell and let us take it over. We'll walk through both.
Should I fix it up first and then sell for more?
Sometimes, honestly. Cosmetic work — paint, flooring, a deep clean, landscaping — usually returns more than it costs and makes a listing viable. Big-ticket structural work usually does not return what you put in, especially if you're paying retail contractor prices and financing it. We'll give you a straight read on which category your house falls into.
Do I need to get an inspection before selling to you?
No, and you don't need to pay for one. We do our own evaluation at our expense. If you already have a recent inspection report, share it — it usually speeds things up.
Your house doesn't have to be ready. It just has to be yours.
