WHO WE HELP
Sell vacant house before it costs you another year
An empty property does not pause. You sell vacant house holdings for the same reason most owners call us, which is that the bills keep arriving for something nobody uses. Property tax, insurance, utilities kept on for the pipes, somebody paid to cut the grass. None of it stops on its own, and none of it builds toward anything. A vacant house is the rare asset that works against its owner every single month while pretending to be wealth.
Why Owners Come to Us
Every Month It Sits Empty, the Cost Goes Up
A vacant home isn't just a property that isn't selling - it's a liability that gets more expensive and more complicated the longer it sits.
Property taxes and insurance due every month with zero income coming in- Vacant Bay Area homes attract code enforcement notices and city blight citations fast
- Risk of break-ins, vandalism, or squatters with no one watching the property
- Deferred maintenance compounds quietly - roof, plumbing, and HVAC don't take a break
- HOA fees and back taxes stack up whether anyone lives there or not
Every month it sits empty, it costs more and gets harder to sell.

Offer Turnaround
“My mom's house sat empty for two years after she passed. We were paying taxes and insurance on a property none of us could deal with. John made an offer in a day, covered the back taxes at closing, and we were done in three weeks.”
Rachel T.San Jose - Vacant Inherited Property
“I was paying $800 a month in taxes and insurance on a house nobody was living in. Got an offer within 24 hours and closed before my next payment was due.”
Kevin B.Oakland - Vacant Rental
“The property had code violations from the city and I had no idea where to start. John bought it as-is, handled everything, and I never had to set foot inside again.”

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Long-vacant property is ordinary for us and we price the condition as we find it, however far the inside has gone since anyone lived there. Years of emptiness change the number, not the answer.
Yes. Tell us what the situation is and we will factor it into the offer rather than asking you to resolve occupancy before you sell. We have taken on properties with squatters in place, and the legal process becomes ours to manage.
Not at all. Plenty of the empty houses we buy belong to owners living in another state, and closing documents can be signed remotely with a notary near you. The whole sale can run without a single flight.
Back taxes come out of the proceeds at closing through escrow. You do not need to clear the balance beforehand for the sale to go through, and penalties stop accruing once it closes.
Generally yes, at minimum water and enough power to keep the place from deteriorating, because a winterized shell fares worse in escrow photographs than a maintained one. Once we close, transferring or ending service becomes our task.
No. We are pricing the property, not the housekeeping, and we have seen every version of what a vacant house becomes. Spend nothing, haul nothing, and leave the state of it to us.
