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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
