We Buy Hoarder Houses - No Judgment, No Hassle
If you're dealing with a hoarding situation - whether it's your property or a loved one's - you already know how overwhelming it is.
Maybe you've inherited a house filled with decades of accumulation. Maybe you're helping a family member who struggles with hoarding disorder. Maybe you're finally ready to address your own situation. Maybe you're an executor trying to settle an estate.
The house is full. Every room. Maybe floor to ceiling in some areas. The thought of clearing it out feels impossible.
Traditional real estate agents won't touch it. Buyers will run away. Your options seem limited.
But you do have an option: us.
​Why People With Hoarding Situations Choose Oak Tree Home Buyers
We've purchased many properties with hoarding or extreme accumulation. Here's what we offer:

We Handle All Cleanup: After closing, clearing out the house becomes our job, not yours. We'll handle everything - and we'll do it respectfully.

Understanding Hoarding Situations
Hoarding disorder affects millions of people. It's not about being lazy or messy - it's a recognized medical condition where people have persistent difficulty parting with possessions.
​
Common hoarding situations we encounter:
Inherited Hoarder House: A parent or relative who struggled with hoarding has passed away, and you've inherited a house packed full of belongings. The thought of clearing it out is overwhelming.
​​​
Elderly Parent: Your aging parent has been accumulating items for decades. They can no longer live safely in the home, but they can't or won't clear it out. You need to sell it to fund their care.
Personal Hoarding: You're ready to address your own hoarding situation. You want to start fresh, but you can't face the monumental task of clearing out years of accumulation.
​​​
Estate Settlement: You're an executor dealing with an estate where the deceased person hoarded. You need to settle the estate but clearing the property seems impossible.
Condemned Property: The hoarding has reached a level where the city has issued code violations or condemned the property. You need to sell fast.
What Happens After We Buy?
You might wonder: "What will you do with all that stuff?"
After closing, we systematically clear the property:
​
-
Respectful Sorting: We carefully go through belongings, looking for anything of value (documents, photos, valuables, sentimental items). We can return these to the family if desired.
-
Donation.: Usable items go to local charities and donation centers.
-
Recycling: Paper, cardboard, metals, and recyclables are processed appropriately.
-
Disposal: Trash and unusable items are disposed of properly.
-
Deep Cleaning: We clean and sanitize the property.
-
Repairs: We make any needed repairs from damage caused by hoarding.
-
Restoration: We restore the property and eventually resell it or use it as a rental.
​
The house gets a second life, and you get relief from an impossible burden.
Working With Family Members
Often, an adult child or family member is managing the sale of a hoarded property on behalf of someone else. This is challenging for several reasons:
Emotional Complexity: You love your family member, but you're frustrated by the hoarding. You might feel guilty about selling their home, even though it's necessary.
Distance: You may live in another state and can't physically manage clearing out the property.
Family Dynamics: Multiple siblings or family members might need to agree on the sale, each with different opinions about how to handle it.
Your Loved One's Resistance: The person who hoarded might not want to sell or let go of their belongings, making the situation emotionally fraught.

Our Process for Hoarding Situations
Step 1: Confidential Conversation: Call us or fill out the form. Tell us about the situation honestly - we need to understand the severity to make a fair offer. Everything is confidential.
Step 2: Property Assessment: We'll visit the property to assess the extent of hoarding and any damage. We've seen it all - nothing shocks us, and we don't judge.
Step 3: Fair Cash Offer: Within 24-48 hours, we'll present an offer based on the property's condition. We'll explain our numbers transparently.
Step 4: Your Decision: Take time to consider. Consult with family. We're here when you're ready.
​
Step 5: Fast Closing: Once you accept, we can close in 2-3 weeks (or longer if you need time). You hand over the keys, and everything inside becomes our responsibility.
​
Step 6: You're Done: You never have to see the property or think about the cleanup again. We handle everything from here.
Getting a Fair Price During an Emotional Time
We understand you might worry about not getting "full market value" during a vulnerable time. Here's our perspective:
​
Yes, listing on the traditional market might get you a higher sale price. But after you subtract 5-6% in agent commissions, pay for repairs and updates, cover 2-3 months of mortgage payments and utilities while it sits on the market, and account for the stress and time involved - the difference might not be as big as you think.
​
Our offer represents what we can pay after accounting for the work and risk we're taking on. It's a fair price in exchange for speed, certainty, and the ability to move forward with your life immediately.
​
For many divorcing couples, the peace of mind and ability to close this chapter quickly is worth more than squeezing out every last dollar.
