Sell a hoarder house as-is, no cleanout
Whether it’s your house or a loved one’s, you don’t have to empty it before you sell. Take what matters to you and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout, quietly and respectfully.
- Leave everything behind
- No judgment, ever
- We pay all closing costs
Clean it out, or sell as-is?
Clearing out a hoarded house is hard work, physically and emotionally. Here are your choices.
Clean it out yourself
Can take weeks of work and multiple dumpsters, often with hidden damage underneath.
Hire a cleanout crew
Professional cleanouts of heavily filled houses can cost thousands of dollars before any repairs start.
List it with an agent
Most agents will ask you to clear, clean and repair the house before listing it.
Sell to us as-is
We buy the house with everything still inside. You keep what you want; we take care of the rest after closing. Get an offer →
How selling a hoarder house works
- Tell us about the house. You don’t need to explain how it got this way. We’ve seen it all.
- A short, private walkthrough. Or if it’s hard to get through, we can work from what you tell us and photos.
- Get a cash offer within 24 hours. The cleanout and repairs are built into our offer.
- Take what matters, then close. Keep family photos, papers and keepsakes. Leave everything else.
Good to know
- Heavily filled houses often hide roof leaks, plumbing problems, pests or mold. We price all of that in.
- If you’re selling for a parent or relative, you may need power of attorney or authority from probate. We can explain what’s typically needed.
- We’re discreet: no signs in the yard and no crowds of buyers walking through.
- Before closing, look for important papers, cash, jewelry and photos you want to keep.

Common questions
Do I have to clean out the house before selling?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the entire cleanout after closing.
Will you buy a house with pest or animal damage?
Yes. We buy hoarder houses as-is, including ones with pests, odors, mold or other damage.
Can I sell a hoarder house for my parent?
Often, yes, if you have legal authority such as a power of attorney, or through probate if they’ve passed away. We can walk you through what’s usually needed.
Do you need to see every room?
No. If parts of the house are hard to reach, we can base the offer on what we can see and what you tell us.
How fast can we close?
In as little as 2–3 weeks, or later if you need time to go through belongings.
We buy houses in 30+ markets, including Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas and Chicagoland. See all markets →
