How to sell a hoarder house

What is hoarding?

According to the Mayo Clinic, hoarding causes “persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.”

In most cases, hoarding starts in a single room. After a while, it takes over the hoarder’s house, yard, garage, vehicles, and any other property he or she owns. Hoarders often live in tiny, cleared spaces within a few rooms of their homes, surrounded by items they’re hoarding. It is not uncommon for hoarders to include trash along with their everyday belongings in severe cases.

A person with hoarding disorder may not think their hoarding is an issue. Hoarding disorder can be very challenging to treat, so it is best left to a medical professional to provide treatment.

Clean out the home and put it on the market with a real estate agent

Clearing a hoarder’s house can take a great amount of time, stress, and money. Even if you’re willing to put in the sweat equity of going through the contents of the home to clear it out, you will still incur significant expenses. You may also encounter secondary expenses once the home has been cleaned to make it appealing to buyers. These additional expenses can include repairs, pest control, extensive yard work, mold remediation, and more – depending on the severity of the hoarding.

Sell the hoarder home off-market to a cash buyer

Although there are many cash home buyer companies out there, some hoarder homes can scare off investors. However, highly-experienced investors will most likely be interested in purchasing a hoarder home and have the ability to see past the home’s current condition. At Highest Offer, we’re not phased by hoarder homes, and we’ve purchased serveral over the years.

As the seller, you are able to take what you want from the house and walk away from the rest. We can also close on your timeline. Fill out any of the forms on this page or give us a call to learn your home sale options.

Frequently asked questions

An all-cash deal enables us to buy your home without financing. To close, we typically transfer funds electronically or with a cashier’s check.

Because a lender isn’t involved, we’re able to keep closing timelines brief. Once we’re under contract, the sale can close in as fast as a week — just enough time for the title and escrow companies to clear any liens, etc.  

We look at the location of the property, the current condition, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently.

There is absolutely no obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property and situation, we’ll make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us.
