Vacant or damaged homes

Vacant, vandalized, or storm-damaged? There’s a simple way to be done.

Empty houses attract problems — vandalism, squatting, burst pipes, code letters, and rising carrying costs. We buy as-is (even heavily damaged), coordinate with title and insurance where needed, and close on a certain timeline so you can move on.

Damage we buy — as-is

Fire & smoke Partial room fires to full smoke remediation.

Water & burst pipes Ceiling collapse, saturated drywall, winterization issues.

Roof & storm Hail, wind, tree impact, missing shingles, tarps.

Mold & moisture Bathrooms, basements, crawl spaces, long-term leaks.

Vandalism & theft Missing copper/HVAC, broken windows/doors, trashed interiors.

Structural & foundation Settlement, cracked slabs, failing porches/steps.

How we help

•As-is purchase (no repairs)

No contractors, bids, or make-ready. We handle clean-out, debris, and repairs after closing.

•Vacant-property challenges solved

Squatters, break-ins, lawn notices, winterization — we’ll coordinate access and secure the property.

•Insurance & title coordination

If there’s an open claim, we’ll work with your carrier and title so funds and paperwork align correctly.

•Private, certain closing date

No showings or open houses. Pick a closing date; we keep timing tight with the title company.

•Transparent numbers

No commissions. We present your net — offer minus payoff and any recorded liens/taxes — up front.

Why holding a vacant home gets expensive

Utilities & lawn fines: shut-offs trigger mold, tall grass triggers citations.
Insurance gaps: some policies limit coverage on long-term vacancy.
Break-ins & theft: vacant houses attract copper thieves and vandals.
Hidden moisture: small leaks become major mold issues fast.

Storm exposure: tarped roofs and broken windows worsen with time.
Carrying costs: taxes, interest, and HOA keep running each month.
Market stigma: boarded or tarped homes get labeled “problem houses.”
Safety & liability: unsecured sites increase risk of injury claims.

A direct sale stops the clock on risk and carrying costs — without fixing anything first.

Your options (at a glance)

•Sell to Headright (as-is)

Fastest certainty. No repairs, no showings; we secure and clean up after closing.

•Repair, then list

Can improve price but requires capital, contractors, permits, and time — plus re-inspection risk.

•Hold short-term

If you can carry the costs and manage risks, waiting is an option — but issues compound with time.

No fees or commissions

Close in days, not months

Sell as-is — no repairs

Vacant / Damaged Homes: FAQs

Will you buy a property with an open insurance claim?

Yes. We coordinate with your carrier and title so claim proceeds and sale proceeds are handled correctly.
The house has squatters or can’t be secured — what then?

We’ll work with you and, if needed, local resources to schedule safe access and secure the property before or after closing.
Do I need to clean out debris or damaged items first?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle clean-out and disposal after closing.
Can you buy if utilities are off or the home isn’t habitable?

Yes. We purchase as-is, even with utilities off, tarped roofs, or non-habitable conditions.
How fast can you close on a vacant or damaged property?

Often in days. We set a certain date, coordinate title, and keep the process private and straightforward.
