Who we are
We buy houses as-is in Fort Madison and Lee County, Iowa. You do not have to make repairs, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us. We give you written terms before you commit, and closing goes through a title company.
We are based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania—not in Fort Madison. The City of Fort Madison describes the city as one of Lee County’s two county seats, with Keokuk as the other; that is local orientation, not a parcel-specific boundary or venue decision.
Experience buying houses
Our founder bought his first property in 2004 — more than 20 years of buying houses.
We've helped homeowners in just about every situation you can imagine — thousands of times. When you're working with someone, you want to know they've seen it before. We have.
Your offer and closing
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Two ways to sell
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
