Vacant house · St. Louis
Own an empty house in St. Louis? Stop paying for a home nobody lives in.
Maybe a parent moved into care, a tenant left, or you moved and the house never sold. Every month it sits, you pay for taxes, insurance and utilities, and you worry about pipes, break-ins and the lawn. You can be done with all of it.
We understand what you're facing
Vacant houses wear on their owners. There's the drive over to check on it, the call from a neighbor about the grass, the worry every time it freezes. Many homeowner insurance policies also limit coverage once a house sits empty for a while, so check your policy.
We buy empty houses in every condition, including ones that have been sitting for years. You don't need to turn the utilities back on or clear anything out first.
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.

- Remote closings are available through the title company.
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 I need to be there to sell?
No. We can see the house with a lockbox or a neighbor's key, and the title company can arrange a remote signing.
Do I need to turn the utilities back on?
Usually not. We can do a walkthrough with the utilities off.
What if the house has been empty for years?
That's fine. We buy long-vacant homes, including ones with damage from sitting empty.
