Want to sell your house as-is in Ames? I buy houses in any condition for cash. Leave the repairs, the junk, and the cleaning to me, and walk away with a fair price and zero hassle.
Why Ames homeowners call Sam
Any condition really does mean any condition
Outdated kitchen, leaky roof, fire or water damage, a hoarder situation, code violations, a house that's been sitting empty for years, I've bought all of it in and around Ames. These are the houses most agents won't even list because they're too rough. You don't clean, you don't fix, you don't haul anything off. Take what you want, leave the rest, and I handle the mess.
Wondering how an as-is cash number gets built? The CFPB explains how cash-buyer offers work, and HUD has solid background on the selling process.

A buyer who actually knows Ames
Ames is where I started. My very first deal was the worst house on the block, right next to Ames High, and I cleaned it up myself. From campus-area rentals to family homes on the south and west sides, I know this town as well as anyone buying here.
I buy throughout Ames and the surrounding area, including Gilbert, Nevada, Huxley, and Ankeny. Dealing with something specific? I also help folks sell your house fast, stop a foreclosure, or sell an inherited house. New to all this? Start with my guide on how to sell your house fast in Iowa.

Sell My House As-Is in Ames: FAQ
Do I need to clean or repair anything first?
Not a thing. Leave behind broken appliances, old furniture, and clutter. I buy the house exactly as it sits and deal with all of it.
What condition of house will you actually buy?
Just about any. Storm and water damage, deferred maintenance, full gut-jobs, inherited time-capsules, rentals trashed by tenants. The rougher it is, the more likely I'm your buyer.
Will you buy a house with liens or code violations?
Usually yes. Liens get sorted out at closing through the title work, and code issues are exactly the kind of thing I take on so you don't have to.
Do you buy rental and student houses near Iowa State?
Yes. Tired of being a landlord near campus? I buy student rentals and family homes across Ames, occupied or empty, in any condition.
