How is Working With Us
We’re not a listing company. We’re the ones buying your house.
One of the biggest questions we get is, are you going to list my house on the MLS, or are you actually going to buy it?
The answer is, that we are not agents; we don’t list properties on the MLS. We are a home buying company. Buying properties is our everyday work. We will buy your house.
What Does It Mean A Home AS-IS?
Our company serves homeowners in Tacoma, Seattle, and across Washington.
The term AS-IS applies to homes of any physical appearance. While a property may be in excellent condition, other circumstances may cause significant problems for its owners, which makes the house qualify in the AS-IS category.
It is also common to use the term “Ugly house” in the real estate jargon. An ugly house means a house in poor condition, a house where the owners are in an ugly situation, or a house that is just plain ugly, including:
- Foreclosure.
- A divorce.
- Bankruptcy.
- Health issues.
- Large liens.
- Low home equity.
- Mortgage Forbearance plan.
- Repayment plans.
- Loan modification.
- COVID-19 hardshipTenants-affected.
- Houses with structural problems like a cracked foundation
- Homes located in a high-crime area
- Inherited houses where the new owner can’t afford or keep it.
- Houses with mortgage balances that well exceed the market value of the house
Often, struggling homeowners list their houses to solve financial problems. Unfortunately, listing a property doesn’t guarantee that it sells quickly, not that the seller will receive top dollars quickly.

Foreclosure
“A foreclosure is a legal process by which a lender attempts to recover the amount owed on a defaulted loan by taking ownership of and selling the mortgaged property. Typically, default is triggered when a borrower misses a specific number of monthly payments. Still, it can also happen when the borrower fails to meet other terms in the mortgage document.” Investopedia
Home Loan Default
A home loan default occurs when homeowners fail to make home mortgage payments.
Negative Equity
The vast majority of foreclosures are caused by negative equity from price declines. Negative equity occurs when a home’s value falls, causing the homeowner to owe more on the mortgage than the home is worth. When negative equity happens, a homeowner’s best options are to refinance, sell, or refinance.
Rising Interest Rates
Some foreclosures can be attributed to subprime mortgages, which initially see low introductory interest rates, only for those rates to reset at incredibly high values a few years later. This can easily make it difficult for homeowners to keep up with mortgage payments. Homeowners with lower credit scores also become the primary recipients of subprime mortgages, further complicating things.
We’re not a listing company. We are the company that buys your house.
The Five D’s
Several personal scenarios can ultimately lead to foreclosure as well. Five of these scenarios are called “the five D’s.”
Death: A death in the family is a leading cause of foreclosure, mainly when it happens to be the head and primary breadwinner of the household passes.
Divorce: Frequently, divorce means that one person is designated responsible for making the mortgage payments. This can put financial stress on the person making the mortgage payments, especially if there are late spousal support payments. The pressure of the divorce process (both emotional and financial) and poor communication can also mean late mortgage payments.
Drugs: Substance dependence and addiction affect people from all walks of life. If the problem gets bad enough, drug and alcohol financing can easily prioritize mortgage payments.
Disease: Unexpected medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US, so it makes sense that they also lead to foreclosure. Chronic illnesses, catastrophic emergencies, and inadequate health insurance can create financial stress that ultimately means defaulting on your mortgage.
Denial: Finally, there is denial. Various factors can put a person under financial stress, and rejection can prevent that person from acknowledging that their current lifestyle is incompatible with keeping up with mortgage payments.
We Buy As-Is Properties
Rentals
We’ve had many people contact us that were tired of being a landlord. People who have had a rental property for a long time are ready to sell. They don’t want to go through the hassle of relocating tenants, renovating the house, hiring a real estate agent, marketing the property, showing it, and finally selling it.
Recently, due to the pandemic, the federal and local eviction ban rules protected renters but were devastating for landlords who did not could collect their rent for months, even more than a year in many cases. We have had the opportunity to help desperate landlords by buying their occupied rental properties.
At the same time, we have helped their tenants who wanted to move out or sign a new lease agreement.
We buy your rental property As-Is. Contact us for more information.

No matter the property’s physical condition, we buy it. You don’t need to put any money into fixing up your house. Does the carpet or flooring need to be replaced? Water damage? Mold? Does the kitchen or bathroom need to be updated? Is Moss on the roof? Are the old gutters clogged? Do the aluminum windows need to be updated? Or just general wear and tear? Don’t worry. We’ll make you a fair offer regardless of the condition.

Tenant-landlord relationships have been a sensitive issue durant the last two years. On one side, rules prohibited evictions; on the other side, landlords were not receiving any money from their rental investments, carrying out the costs such as the mortgage, maintenance, and property taxes.
After evictions were lifted, the nightmare became a reality for many landlords, with no money in their pockets and a destroyed rental-occupied home. Thus, the solution. Get rid of the property before the damage worsens. We can take care of your tenant-occupied property.
We will buy it through a seven days process.
