How It Works
Tell us about your property. Share basic information like; how many bedrooms, bathrooms and the current general condition.
Any Reason, Condition, or Challenge
Need Cash?
Regardless of ones financial situation liquidating assets can result in fast cash.
Flooded House?
Gulf Coast residents are not strangers to the dangers of flood waters. Homes that have flooded are generally more difficult to sell on the traditional real estate market.
Tired Landlord?
Managing properties as a landlord can become stressful. Between different types of tenants and constant maintenance, any landlord can grow weary with problematic rentals.
Too Many Repairs?
Homeowners may become overwhelmed when deferred maintenance builds up into a larger problem.
Behind On Payments?
Falling behind on mortgage payments is something that many Americans face. If the over due amounts are not eventually paid, the lender will begin the foreclsoure process.
Inherited Property?
Often, heirs inherit property after losing a loved one and have zero use for an additional property.
