Serving Phoenix and the entire Valley since 2006
Kitchen in a Phoenix home

Skip the Contractor Bids. We Buy Phoenix Houses As They Are.

A tired roof, an AC unit on its last summer, old pipes or a pool that turned green. If the structure stands, we will make a cash offer on the house exactly as it is, and you never lift a hammer.

Desert wear and tear

The repairs we see most in Valley homes

Phoenix is hard on houses. Months of triple digit heat, monsoon storms, hard water and shifting desert soil all leave marks. These are the problems that show up on inspection reports again and again, and none of them stop us from buying.

Roof

Tile roofs and underlayment

The tiles often outlast the felt beneath them. After enough summers the underlayment cracks, and leaks follow the next monsoon.

Cooling

Worn out AC systems

Units here run hard for months at a time. An older system that needs full replacement is one of the most common big ticket items.

Supply lines

Polybutylene or galvanized pipes

Gray polybutylene lines from the 1980s and early 1990s, or corroded galvanized steel in older homes, often need a full repipe.

Drains

Cast iron sewer lines

Older homes often have cast iron drains under the slab that crack or scale with age. A sewer scope usually tells the story.

Structure

Foundation and soil movement

Expansive soils and settling can crack slabs, stucco and block walls. If the structure stands, we still buy it.

Backyard

Pool surface and equipment

Rough, stained plaster, a failing pump or filter, or a pool that has sat green for a season. We price it in.

Electrical

Older panels and wiring

Original panels in older homes are a frequent flag from inspectors and insurers, and upgrades are rarely cheap.

Pests

Termites

Subterranean termites are common across Arizona. Mud tubes on the stem wall or damaged baseboards do not scare us off.

Planning to list instead?

What is usually worth fixing, and what is not

Often worth doing before a listing
  • Active leaks and anything a buyer will see as a safety issue
  • An AC service call so the system runs during showings
  • Fresh neutral paint over scuffed or bold walls
  • Small fixes like broken fixtures, doors and outlets
  • A cleared yard and a clean, working pool
Often not worth the money
  • A full kitchen or bathroom remodel right before selling
  • Big projects buyers will renegotiate after inspection anyway
  • Pool remodels with new tile and decking
  • Upgrades aimed at your taste rather than a buyer's
  • Any repair you cannot fund without new debt
Two ways to sell

Fix it and list it, or sell it as is

Repairing first can make sense when you have the time, cash and patience. When you do not, selling as is trades a little upside for a lot of certainty. Here is how the two paths usually compare.

Repair, then list
BidsGet quotes from roofers, plumbers and AC companies, then wait for their schedules.
Pay up frontCover the repairs out of pocket while still paying the mortgage and utilities.
ShowingsKeep the house show ready and hope the buyer's inspector does not find something new.
ClosingPay commission and closing costs after the buyer's loan is approved.
Sell to Kim as is
WalkthroughAbout 20 minutes. Point out what you know is wrong. We look at the rest.
OfferA written cash offer with the repair costs shown, so you can see how we got there.
No prepNo repairs, no cleaning, no showings, and no fees or commission.
ClosingIn as little as 3 days, or on whatever date works for you.

Compare the bid to our offer first

A new roof or a repipe can cost more than it adds to the sale price, especially once you count the months it takes. Get our as is number, put it next to your contractor quotes, and choose with real figures in front of you.

Selling a house that needs work

What sellers ask when the inspection list is long, the budget is short, or both.

Read all our answers
Is there any repair that would stop you from buying?+

We buy in any condition as long as the structure is still standing. Roof leaks, dead AC, bad plumbing, foundation cracks and termite damage are all fine.

How do you decide what to offer on a house that needs repairs?+

We estimate what the home will be worth once it is fixed, subtract the repair costs and our costs to resell, and show you each line. You can check every number.

Should I fix the AC or roof before I call you?+

No. Call first. If you plan to sell to us, anything you spend on repairs is money you likely will not get back. If you plan to list, our number still helps you decide whether a repair is worth it.

Do I have to clean the house or remove old stuff?+

No cleaning required. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest behind.

Will I pay any fees or commission?+

No. There is no commission and there are no fees. You never pay us anything.
