Can you buy a hoarder house in Philadelphia without it being cleared out?

Yes. Leave everything. We handle the full cleanout after closing and it costs you nothing. You do not need to sort, bag, hire a dumpster, or let anyone in to see the worst of it before you decide whether to sell.

Do I have to remove belongings before you buy?

No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest. If there is usable furniture you would rather see donated than dumped, tell us, and in many cases we can help arrange that. Nothing needs cleaning or clearing first.

How bad is too bad?

We have not found the line yet. Rooms you cannot walk through, floor to ceiling in every space, a house where the front door only opens partway. All of it is familiar. The condition is the reason you are selling this way, not a reason we would say no.

Where do I start if I cannot get through the front door?

With a phone call, not with the door. You do not need to make the property accessible before anybody sees it, and you do not need to have made a start to prove you are serious. Tell us the address and we will work out access between us.

I am embarrassed about the state of it. Will somebody judge me?

No, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend it never comes up. Whoever comes to look has seen it before and will not make a face or a comment. You are not the first person to make this call and you will not be the worst house that week.

It is my parent's house and they are still alive. Can I sell it?

Only if you hold the legal authority to act for them, through a power of attorney or a similar arrangement. If you do not, the conversation is worth having anyway so you know what is possible. We will not push you toward signing something you are not entitled to sign.

There are animals in the property. Does that change things?

Tell us before anyone comes out. It changes how a visit is arranged rather than whether we buy. Where animals need rehoming, that needs sorting properly by people who do that, and it is not something to leave until the day of closing.

Are there things you cannot take on?

A few, and they are practical rather than about mess. Certain hazardous materials have to be dealt with by specialists and cannot simply come across with the house. Tell us what is in there and we will tell you straight which parts need handling separately.

Can I keep some of it and take my time?

Yes. Tell us what you want out and roughly how long you need, and it gets built into the closing date rather than rushed at the end. Nobody is going to hand you a weekend deadline to go through thirty years of a house, and anyone who does is telling you something about themselves.

Will anyone else find out about the state of the house?

Not from us. We do not photograph the inside for advertising, we do not discuss it with neighbours, and nothing about the condition goes anywhere public. Discretion on this one matters more than usual and we treat it that way.

Here's what happens when you reach out.

1

Tell us about the house

Share the address, call, or text. A few quick questions, you're not signing up for anything.

2

We look at the house and comparable sales, then walk you through a clear cash offer, usually within 24 hours.

3

Close when you're ready

If you like it, you choose the date, in many cases in as little as 14 days once title is clear.
