Some repair lists are just too big. The foundation contractor quoted a number that made your stomach drop. The insurance check didn't cover the fire or water damage. Or a buyer's inspection turned up enough problems that the deal fell apart. Now you're paying to own a house you can't afford to fix and can't seem to sell.
You don't have to fix it first. MarKey Home Buyers buys houses that need serious work across Georgia, Florida, Texas and Tennessee, and we buy them as-is.
Repairs we look at
- Foundation cracks, settling or structural damage
- Roof leaks, a failing roof, or one at the end of its life
- Fire, smoke or water damage, including burst pipes and flooding
- Mold and moisture problems
- Hoarder houses and homes full of belongings or trash
- Old electrical, plumbing, HVAC or septic systems
- Houses that failed a buyer's inspection or appraisal
- Unfinished renovations and unpermitted work
Why sellers with big repairs call us
Most buyers need a loan, and lenders often won't finance a house with major defects. That's why so many repair-heavy listings sit, or fall apart after the inspection. We buy with cash, so there's no lender standing between you and the closing.
- You don't pay for repairs. Not before the sale, and not as a condition of it.
- You don't clean up. Leave what you don't want. We handle it, with no judgment.
- You see the math. We walk the house, then give you a written offer with the repairs already factored in, and we show you how we got there.
- You keep more of the sale. No fees, no commissions, and we pay typical closing costs.
If the damage comes with something else, like an inherited house, back taxes, or a foreclosure deadline, tell us that too. Hard situations often come with more than one problem, and we look at the whole picture.
Not sure the house is worth anything in this condition? That's exactly the question our review answers. And if listing it would truly net you more, we'll say so.
No pressure, ever. Our review is free and comes with zero obligation. Even if we’re not the right fit, we’ll point you in the right direction.

Tell us about the property and what's wrong with it. We'll do a quick walkthrough and give you a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours.

Questions sellers ask
Can I sell a house with foundation problems?
Yes. Foundation issues make a traditional sale harder because many buyers’ lenders won’t finance the house, but a cash buyer can purchase it as-is. Send us any engineer’s report or repair quotes you have, and we’ll factor them into a straight offer.
Will a cash buyer buy a house with fire or water damage?
Yes, we look at fire, smoke and water-damaged houses as-is, with no repairs or cleanup needed. If there’s an open insurance claim, tell us about it up front so we can account for it in the offer.
Can I sell a hoarder house without cleaning it out?
Yes. Take whatever you want to keep and leave everything else, and we handle the cleanout after closing. No judgment, and no need to apologize for the condition.
What do I do if my house failed inspection and the buyer backed out?
The house can still sell. We don’t need a lender’s approval or a repair addendum, and we make our offer after seeing the house as it is. Send us the inspection report and we can usually get back to you within 24 hours.
Should I fix my house before selling or sell it as-is?
It depends on what the repairs cost, how much they’d add to the price, and how much time and cash you have. Big projects like foundation or roof work tie up money and months and don’t always pay back. We’re happy to run the numbers with you either way, with no obligation.
