Sell Your House As-Is, for Cash
We buy your house exactly as it is, and the repairs become ours.
What selling as-is means for you
Selling a house as-is means selling it in its current condition, with the repairs it needs. Better Off Home Buyers has bought houses in Oregon and Washington since 2018 and makes you a cash offer after Dylan sees the house.
You see the offer before you decide, you choose the closing date, and you take what you want and leave the rest.

Why fixing the house first costs more than it seems
Repairs look simple on a list. Here is what usually comes with them.
The money goes out first
Roofers, electricians and plumbers are paid before you see a dollar from the sale.
The list grows
Once a wall or a floor is open, a second problem often shows up behind it, and the quotes move while the house waits.
Buyers ask for more
Inspectors write up everything they find, buyers use that list to ask for credits, and lenders can decline houses in poor condition.
You carry the house meanwhile
Mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities keep running through the repairs and the listing.
With the repair bill and the months of carrying costs on the table, selling as-is is a choice many sellers weigh carefully. Our guide on selling a house that needs major repairs goes through the math.
We buy houses that need work
Whatever the house needs, we look at it as it is and give you a clear, fair offer. Here is what we see most.
Roof and foundation
Leaks, sagging, cracks or settling. These are the repairs that cost the most and the ones financed buyers shy away from.
Plumbing, electrical and heating
Old panels, failing pipes, a furnace or an AC that quit. We buy the house with the systems as they stand.
Water, fire and mold damage
Damage that lenders and appraisers flag. We look at the house as it is and make a clear offer.
Selling with fire or water damage →A failed inspection
A buyer walked away or asked for a long list of fixes. We take the house as the inspector found it.
Years of deferred maintenance
Outdated finishes, worn floors and a to-do list that kept growing. You sell without fixing any of it.
A house full of belongings
A lifetime of things, or a house that got away from its owner. Take what you want and leave the rest.

We also buy mobile homes, inherited houses and rentals with tenants, plus houses in good shape that simply need to sell. Houses, duplexes, townhouses and condos, as they are.
Who buys a house that needs work?
Three kinds of buyers can say yes to a house in this condition. Each one works differently.
Option 1
A buyer with a loan
The house has to meet the lender’s standards. The inspection and the appraisal can change the price, or end the deal after weeks of waiting.
Option 2
A renovation company or an iBuyer
Pays cash and takes on the repairs, so the offer reflects the work and the risk. Offers vary, so asking for more than one helps.
Option 3
Better Off Home Buyers
We buy directly, in cash, as-is. Dylan sees the house, Scott makes the offer and explains every number, and you choose the closing date.

We’ll come see it
Relax, we can buy that house. We’ve already bought inherited homes, rentals with tenants, mobile homes and houses that need work. Here’s how it goes, so you know what to expect. The full process is on our how it works page.
Tell us what the house needs
Scott or Dylan calls you back. Tell us what the house needs and where you are in your plans. A real person listens.
We see the house
Dylan walks the house with you. Then you get a written offer with the math on one page: value fixed up, repairs, and what’s left for you.
Pick your date, get paid
Sign when it works for you. Close next week or months out, with no commission taken out. Take what you want and leave the rest.

What sellers say about selling as-is
Real Google reviews from people who sold their houses to us, in their own words.
“We sold our house to Scott and could not be happier. We were looking to move quick on a house that needed quite a bit of love (after several years of family health issues taking our time) and he was a delight to work with. We compared his quote to two others (a local renovation company and an iBuyer). He not only was the best bid, he treated us with kindness and respect. The process was smooth and simple and we’re even getting updates on the house as it’s transformed back into a lovely home someone will be lucky enough to buy soon. I would (and have) wholeheartedly recommend Scott and Better Off Homebuyers to friends.”
Read this review on Google →“We had a home that needed massive repairs to bring up to liveable condition. As it was an estate sale not a lot of interest to restore ourselves. House had not been lived in in 12 years. Dylan and his team were easy to work with and we received a fair price for the property. Highly recommend.”
Read this review on Google →“Dylan and his team made selling my childhood house a breeze. It truly couldn’t have been any easier. We sold the house as is, no repairs necessary. We didn’t have to schedule any inspections either. They quoted, what I felt, was a fair price and was able to close the sale very quickly with no closing costs to me. They even gave us additional time to finish moving out. The entire process could not have been easier. I would definitely would recommend them to a family member or a friend.”

Straight answers to what people ask us most about houses that need work.
What does selling as-is mean?
It means you sell the house in its current condition, with the repairs it needs and the belongings you want to leave. You see our offer before you decide, and the closing date is yours.
How did you calculate the offer?
Line by line, on one page: what the house could sell for after repairs, what those repairs cost, and what’s left. Robert Laird, a licensed Realtor and general contractor on our team, helps us estimate what a house is worth after renovation. You see every number before you decide, and the offer is yours to accept or decline. See how a cash sale compares with listing.
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. You sell the house as it is, and if you need more time to collect your belongings, tell us.
What kinds of houses do you buy?
Houses with a failing roof, foundation problems, old plumbing or wiring, water or fire damage, mold, a failed inspection or years of deferred maintenance. We also buy houses in fine shape that need to sell. If yours is not on this list, call us and describe it.
Will I get less than if I fix the house and list it?
A renovated house listed on the market can sell for a higher price on paper. It also asks you to pay for the repairs, manage contractors, pay commissions and carry the house for months. Many sellers compare both paths side by side, and we are glad to give you our number so you can do the same.
How fast can you close?
You choose the closing date. Some sellers need to move quickly and some need a few months, and we plan around you. One of the houses we bought, an inherited home in Salem, closed in about 30 days.
What if the house has a mortgage or liens?
They are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company, and you receive what is left. Ask for your payoff amounts before you compare offers, because they change what you keep. We go over this with you at the start.
Where do you buy houses?
We buy houses across Oregon and Washington. See our Oregon page and our Washington page.
