Selling As-Is
Do you buy houses as-is in Edmonton?
Yes. We buy houses in their current condition anywhere in the Edmonton area.
Do I need to clean the house before selling?

Do you buy houses that need repairs?
Yes, including roofs, furnaces, foundations, plumbing and cosmetic work.
Can I leave furniture and belongings behind?
Yes. Anything you do not want to move can stay.
Cash Offers
How do you calculate the cash offer?
We look at location, condition, recent comparable sales, estimated repairs, market demand and your timeline.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. There is no obligation and no follow-up pressure if you decline.
Is the offer really cash?
Yes. Our purchases are not conditional on a lender approving a mortgage.
Will you explain how you reached the number?
Always. We walk through the comparables and repair estimates with you.
Timeline
How fast can I sell my house?
Most sellers can close within a few weeks of accepting, sometimes sooner.
How quickly will I get an offer?
Usually one to two business days after we see the property.
Can I close later if I need more time?
Yes. Closing dates months out are common and completely fine.
Can I stay in the home briefly after closing?
Often we can arrange extra time. Ask us early so we can plan for it.
Repairs and Cleaning
Will you ask for repairs after the offer?
No. Condition is priced in at the start, so there is no renegotiation later.
Do you buy homes with mould, fire or water damage?
Yes. Tell us what you know and we will factor it in openly.
Do I need an inspection?
No. Our offer is not conditional on an inspection report.
Fees and Commissions
Are there realtor fees?
No. There are no listing commissions and no fees charged by us.
What costs do I still pay?
Your own lawyer’s fees and any payouts registered against the property, such as a mortgage balance.
Is getting an offer free?
Yes. Offers are always free with no obligation.
Foreclosure, Divorce and Inheritance
Do you buy inherited houses?
Yes, including homes still going through the estate process. Your lawyer confirms timing.
Do you buy houses during divorce?
Yes. Everyone on title must sign, and we are happy to work through your lawyers.
Can you help if I am behind on mortgage payments?
We can show you what an as-is sale would look like. We are not lawyers or financial advisors, so please also speak with a qualified professional.
Can I still sell if foreclosure has started?
Often yes, depending on the stage. Your lender and lawyer can confirm your situation.
