Needs repairs or updates · St. Louis
House needs more work than you can take on? We'll buy it as-is.
Many St. Louis homes are close to a hundred years old, and they show it. Cracked foundations, wet basements, tired roofs, old wiring. If the repair list feels impossible, you don't have to fix any of it to sell.
We understand what you're facing
Sometimes it's one big problem: a foundation crack, a roof that's done. Sometimes it's years of small ones adding up. Either way, banks often won't lend on houses in rough shape, which shrinks the pool of buyers.
Older St. Louis homes often have knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, clay sewer lines and water in the basement. We've seen it all, and we budget for it before we make an offer.
We help homeowners in this situation across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County and St. Clair County, Illinois, including Florissant, Hazelwood, Ferguson, University City, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Affton, Mehlville.

What selling to Brickyard looks like
- We buy with foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical and sewer problems.

- We handle municipal occupancy inspection requirements in most cases.
- Hoarder houses and full cleanouts welcome.
- No inspections for you to manage and no repair credits to negotiate.
I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I'd heard stories about cash buyers lowballing homeowners in the St. Louis market. But these folks were completely upfront from day one. The offer was fair, the communication was great, and they closed on our timeline without a single hiccup.

Common questions
Do you buy houses that failed an occupancy inspection?
Yes. In most cases we can take on the repairs the municipality requires as part of our purchase.
Will you lower the price after your inspection?
We do a walkthrough before we make our offer so the price reflects the condition. If something major was hidden from both of us, we'll talk it through openly, never at the last minute.
Is there any condition you won't buy?
Very rarely. Call us and describe the house; we'll tell you right away.
