Does a vacant house need to be occupied or fixed up to sell?
No. We buy vacant houses in whatever condition they are in right now, occupied or not. You do not need to move furniture in to make it look lived-in, stage it, or schedule showings. An empty house is often easier for us to evaluate and close on quickly since there is no tenant or occupant schedule to coordinate around.
What are the risks of leaving a house vacant?
Vacant properties carry real risk the longer they sit. Pipes can burst and go unnoticed for weeks. Vacant homes are targets for vandalism, break-ins, and squatters. Many standard homeowner insurance policies exclude or limit coverage on a property vacant more than 30 to 60 days, which leaves you exposed right when something is more likely to go wrong. Every month it sits empty is also a month of taxes, insurance, and utilities with no one benefiting from the home.
Do I need vacant property insurance while I sell?
Often yes, if your current policy has a vacancy exclusion. A standard vacant property insurance rider or policy costs more than an occupied-home policy, which is another reason a fast sale usually saves money compared to carrying an empty house for months while it sits on the retail market waiting for a buyer with financing.
Will I need to deal with showings, open houses, or a lockbox?
No. We do not need staging, professional photos, or a string of showings that leave a vacant house exposed to more foot traffic and more risk. We schedule one visit to confirm the property's condition, then move straight to a written offer.
How does the timeline work?
Typical cash sale timeline for a vacant property:
- Day 1: Submit the address. We research the property and any vacancy-related issues.
- Day 2: We visit to confirm condition.
- Day 2 to 3: You receive a written cash offer.
- Day 3 to 7: You accept the offer.
- Day 7 to 21: Closing at a title company of your choice, often faster since there is no move-out to coordinate.

Frequently asked questions
Does a vacant house need to be occupied to sell it to you?
No. We buy vacant houses as-is, in any condition. There is no need to stage the property or schedule showings before we make an offer.
What are the biggest risks of leaving a house vacant?
Burst pipes going unnoticed, vandalism, break-ins, squatters, and insurance coverage gaps are the most common risks. Selling quickly removes ongoing exposure to all of them.
Do I need special insurance while my vacant house sells?
Often yes, since standard homeowner policies frequently exclude vacancies over 30 to 60 days. A fast sale usually reduces the total time you need that extra coverage.
Will I need showings or open houses?
No. We schedule one visit to confirm condition, then move to a written offer. There is no ongoing foot traffic through an empty property.
How fast can a vacant house close compared to an occupied one?
Often faster, since there is no move-out to coordinate. We can close in as little as 7 days once you accept the offer.
