The Short Answer
We purchase hoarding properties throughout Pennsylvania in any condition — no cleanup required. You take what you want and leave everything else. We handle all cleanout, remediation, and repairs after closing. Cash offer in 24 hours, close in 7-14 days.
Why Traditional Sales Don't Work for Hoarding Properties
Selling a hoarding property on the MLS is almost never practical:
- ✗Lenders won't finance it. FHA, VA, and conventional lenders require habitable, accessible properties. A hoarding home typically fails minimum property standards.
- ✗Buyers can't do a proper inspection. Inspectors need access to all areas. In a hoarding property, they can't reach walls, floors, ceilings, or mechanicals — so they decline to inspect or note severe limitations.
- ✗Cleanout is expensive and difficult. Professional estate cleanouts run $3,000-$15,000+ for severe hoarding situations. Coordinating this from out of state — often the case for inherited properties — adds time and complexity.
- ✗Photos can't be taken for MLS. No presentable photos means no online marketing, which means no buyer interest.
How We Handle Hoarding Property Purchases
You contact us — no obligation
Tell us about the property location and what you know about its condition. We have no judgment about the situation — we've seen everything. You do not need to send photos or provide detailed descriptions.
We research the property and schedule a visit if helpful
We look at county records, aerial views, and exterior condition. If helpful, we can do a brief walkthrough — we don't need to fully inspect every room to make an offer on a hoarding property.
Written cash offer within 24 hours
We make a written offer that accounts for cleanout costs, potential hidden damage, and the as-is condition. The offer is our best assessment of what we can pay given the unknowns involved.
Close in 7-14 days — take what you want before closing
You take anything of value or sentimental importance before we close. Everything left in the property becomes ours at closing. We manage all cleanout, disposal, and remediation after.
Common Situations — We've Seen Them All
Inherited hoarding property
You've inherited a parent's home packed floor-to-ceiling. You live out of state. You don't know where to start. We've handled dozens of these.
Animal hoarding
Properties with large numbers of animals often have extensive damage — flooring, drywall, odor remediation required. We purchase these as-is.
Collector estates
Sometimes the "clutter" is a lifetime of collections, antiques, or materials with unknown value. We give you time to remove whatever you want before closing.
Long-vacant accumulated property
A home that sat empty for years while accumulating contents and deferred maintenance. We purchase long-vacant properties in any state.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
No cleanup needed. No judgment. Written offer in 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions — Hoarding Properties
Do I need to clean out a hoarding property before selling?
No — not when selling to a cash buyer. We purchase hoarding properties as-is. Leave everything. Take what you want, leave everything else. We handle the cleanout after closing.
Will you still make an offer if you can't fully inspect the property?
Yes. We're experienced evaluating hoarding and cluttered properties where full access may be limited. We factor in condition uncertainty into our offer and proceed. We do not require a pristine property or open access to every room.
How do you determine the value of a hoarding property?
We use county tax records, comparable sales in the area, aerial/external assessment, and what we can observe. We factor in the cost of cleanout, potential hidden damage (structural, pest, mold, water), and repairs needed to bring the property to market condition. Our offer reflects these unknowns with appropriate margin built in.
What if there are biohazard or pest issues?
We purchase properties with pest infestations, animal hoarding situations, and biohazard conditions. These are specialized cleanup situations that we coordinate after purchase. You are not expected to manage remediation before the sale.
Can I sell a hoarding property that I inherited?
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we see. An adult child inherits a severely cluttered parent's home and has no practical way to clean it out, especially from out of state. Cash buyers are purpose-built for exactly this situation.
