Who will buy a hoarder’s property?

Any buyer will want to buy hoarder property at a steep discount to the real estate market. The professional real estate investor can look a the hoarder house with a dispassionate prospective. They make it a dollar and cents problem. Therefore the professional real estate investor will pay more for the hoarding property in the long run.

Is a Hoarded Property Sell-able?

A hoarder’s home poses specific health and safety hazards that impact how sellable the house is. There are three common ways to sell a clutter-hoarding house.

The 3 best ways to sell a hoarder house.

1. Selling a hoarded property to an “as is” home buyer can be the easiest and most profitable. The “as is” buyer can be an investor who takes the long view on property ownership. The investor buyer can take the cost of clean-up and repairs of the hoarded property and amortize it over the life of the property. Therefore they can offer more for the property.
2. The flipper who buys a clutter-hoarding property will add the cost of the clean-up and repairs up front and minus that amount from the offer price. The owners can get rid of the property but not make as much from the sale.
3. Selling the house after hoarding cleanup can be risky. The clean-up and repair company cannot give a true estimate until the true nature of the clean-up and repairs are known. The owner can get a $10,000 estimate for what is seen, but if the damage is more once the surface stuff is removed, that estimate can grow a lot. Dry rot, mold, structural damage will only be seen once the work begins. That is how a money pit house starts.

What to do with a hoarder’s house?

First don’t let the hoarder house become a money pit house. Everyone is going to handle a hoarding property differently. For some, getting top dollar for the property is key. For another, just moving on from the hoarding house situation is best. One thing is for sure, the impact of a hoarding house is more than money. The house maybe the easiest part of the situation to solve, people are a lot more complicated. I do wish you the best out come from your hoarding house issue.
