Any condition. Any situation.
A cash sale makes the most sense when speed, certainty or simplicity matters more than squeezing out the last dollar. These are the situations Anchorage homeowners bring to us most often.
- PCS orders from JBER or a Slope rotation ending, and you need to be gone by a date
- Inherited or probate homes you're managing from Outside or from the Valley
- Behind on payments or facing foreclosure and need to act before the sale date
- Frost heave, settling or 2018 earthquake damage that never got fully repaired
- Well and septic problems on Hillside, Eagle River or Mat-Su properties
- Tired landlord with a Spenard or Muldoon rental, tenants in place or not
- Failed boiler, Toyo stove or roof heading into another winter
- Dry cabin or unfinished build in the Valley that a bank won't lend on
- Divorce, downsizing or moving Outside and you'd rather skip showings through break-up
Local buyers who know Anchorage housing
We aren't a national call center. We live here, we know what a Hillside septic system costs to replace and what a Spenard duplex rents for, and we price offers off real Anchorage and Mat-Su sales, not a formula built for the Lower 48.
We buy year-round, including through freeze-up and break-up when the Anchorage listing market goes quiet from October to April. We close through local Alaska title companies, we're honest when listing would net you more, and we never pressure anyone. If our offer isn't right for you, you'll still leave with a clear number to plan around.
"They walked the house on a Tuesday, had an offer in my inbox Wednesday morning, and we closed before the first snow. I left the garage full and never touched a paintbrush."
Questions Anchorage sellers ask us
How fast can you buy my house in Anchorage?
We can close in as little as 7 days after you accept the offer. If you need more time, you choose the closing date, and you can stay up to several weeks after closing if that helps your move.
Do you buy houses as-is?
Yes. We buy Anchorage and Mat-Su homes in any condition, including houses with foundation, roof, plumbing or mold issues, fire or water damage, and properties that are full of belongings. You do not need to clean, repair or stage anything.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions, no service fees and no closing costs charged to you. The cash offer you accept is the amount you receive at closing, less any existing mortgage or liens paid off through the title company.
How do you calculate a cash offer?
We look at what similar homes have recently sold for in your Anchorage or Mat-Su neighborhood, subtract the cost of any repairs the house needs, and factor in our holding and resale costs. You get a written, itemized offer with no obligation to accept.
Which areas do you buy houses in?
We buy houses throughout the Anchorage metro area, including Downtown, Midtown, South Anchorage, Hillside, Muldoon, Spenard, Sand Lake, Turnagain, Mountain View, Eagle River, Chugiak and Girdwood, plus the Mat-Su Valley communities of Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake, Knik-Fairview, Meadow Lakes, Butte, Houston and Willow.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free and there is never any obligation. Many homeowners use our offer as a benchmark while deciding whether to list with an agent or sell for cash.
Can I sell my house in Anchorage during the winter?
Yes. We buy houses in Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley every month of the year. Winter is actually when many sellers come to us, because listings slow down between October and April and buyers with financing are scarce. Snow, ice and short days don't change our offer or our closing timeline.
Do you buy homes in foreclosure, probate or with tenants?
Yes. We regularly buy homes facing foreclosure, inherited or probate properties, houses with tenants in place, and homes owned by out-of-state or military owners relocating from JBER. We work with your attorney or the title company to handle the paperwork.
