Sell a Hoarder House As-Is
A house filled floor to ceiling cannot realistically be listed. It cannot be photographed, shown, appraised or inspected, and clearing it first is a large, expensive and often emotionally difficult job. We buy hoarder properties exactly as they are — full — and handle the clearing ourselves after closing.
Why sellers in this situation contact us
Leave everything
We buy with contents in place; nothing needs sorting, clearing or hauling
No cleaning
Including properties with pest problems, pet damage or biohazard conditions
No photos or showings
Nobody needs to see inside except us, once
Handled with discretion
No listing, no open house, no neighbours walking through
We absorb the clearing cost
It is priced into our offer rather than paid by you up front
The problems this situation creates
Clearing costs are substantial
Professional clear-outs of a full property are a serious expense before you have sold anything, and for a heavily affected house they can be far higher than people expect.
A listing is not practical
Photographs, showings, appraisal and inspection all require access that a full property cannot provide.
Hidden damage
Long-standing accumulation conceals water damage, pest infestation, structural problems and failed systems that only appear once the property is cleared.
Financing is unavailable
An appraiser cannot complete a report on an inaccessible property, so financed buyers are effectively excluded.
It is often not just a house
These situations usually involve an elderly parent, a bereavement or an illness. The practical job and the emotional one arrive together.
Code and health enforcement
Severe cases attract citations, and in some cases habitability action, which adds deadlines and fines to an already difficult situation.
When selling to us is not the right move
If the contents are genuinely valuable, or the family wants time to go through belongings properly, clearing carefully first and then listing may produce a better result — and may matter more than money. We would rather you take that time than rush a sale you regret.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to remove anything at all?
Only what you want to keep. Take the belongings that matter to the family and leave the rest — that is the whole point.
There are pest, pet or sanitation problems.
Understood, and not unusual in these purchases. Tell us what you know so the offer reflects reality rather than being revised later.
Can we find valuables before closing?
Yes, and please do. Take whatever time you reasonably need to go through the property for documents, photographs and anything of value before we take possession.
Will people find out?
There is no listing, no photographs online, no sign and no open house. One walkthrough by us, then closing.
The city has issued notices about the property.
We buy properties with open citations. Where fines attach to the property they are typically identified in title and settled through escrow. If there is a habitability or receivership action, tell us early — and speak to an attorney about your own exposure.
