For homeowners
Sell your house exactly as it stands.
Inherited a place you can't face? Vacant and bleeding money? Tired roof, tired kitchen, tired of the whole thing? We buy houses in any condition anywhere in Ontario, on the timeline you set.
"Peeling paint, a tired roof, and a basement that remembers the last storm" is not a reason not to call us. It's the kind of house we're set up for.
What we buy
If it's causing someone a headache, we're probably interested.
- Vacant, inherited, or estate properties
- Homes needing a full or partial renovation
- Water damage, fire damage, or mould
- Mortgage arrears or tax arrears
- Divorce, downsizing, or relocation
- Tenanted properties sold with tenants in place
- Foundation issues, knob-and-tube, or oil tanks
- Doubles, large lots, and mixed-use buildings
No list of chores
Things you don't have to do.
- Fix anything — plumbing, roof, electrical, all of it
- Clean, declutter, or haul the basement to the dump
- Stage the rooms or take new photos
- Host showings, open houses, or buyer walk-throughs
- Pay a commission or a listing fee
- Move out before the date you choose
Plainly put
Selling to us versus listing it.
We'd rather be straight with you than clever. Listing with an agent usually ends in more money — that's why people do it. What we offer is a different trade: a lower price, and far less work, risk, and waiting.
| Water Meets Rock | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical time to closing | The date you set | Weeks to months, market depending |
| Repairs before sale | None | Often expected by buyers and inspectors |
| Commissions and fees | None | Commission plus closing costs |
| Likely price | Below market — you're trading price for simplicity | Usually higher, with more work and more risk |
| Effort from you | A visit and some paperwork | Prep, listings, showings, negotiations |
| Certainty | Contracted with a buyer in place | Deals can fall through late |
Questions
The things people ask us first.
If yours isn't here, ask it in the form below. We answer honestly, including when the answer is "we're not the right buyer for this".
Are you a real estate agent?+
No. We're buyers. We're not a licensed brokerage, we don't list homes, and we don't take listings from anyone. That means there's no commission and no one representing the sale — just us, making you an offer on our own account.
Will you lowball me?+
We'll offer below market value, because that's the whole job — we take on the repairs, the risk, and the holding costs. What we won't do is hide it. We show you the comparable sales we used, what the work costs, and how we got to the number. If you don't like it, you don't have to take it.
There's a mortgage, or taxes owing. Is that a problem?+
Usually not. Arrears, liens, and judgments get dealt with out of the sale proceeds at closing. Tell us early so your lawyer isn't surprised two days before closing.
Does it cost me anything to get an offer?+
No. The visit, the numbers, and the written offer are free and there's nothing to sign to get them.
The house is still occupied. Can you deal with that?+
Yes — tenants in place, a relative who won't leave, or a full house of belongings are all things we've handled. Timing is usually the only real negotiation.
How do I know you're legitimate?+
Ask. We'll show proof of funds, give you our lawyer's name, and let you check our record. Closing is done by a licensed Ontario real estate lawyer like any other sale — you're never wiring money to anyone.
