Selling a Vacant Property in Alberta
An empty house costs money every single month — taxes, insurance (often at higher vacancy rates or cancelled outright), utilities to keep pipes from freezing through an Alberta winter, and yard or snow maintenance to avoid municipal bylaw complaints.
The longer a property sits, the harder it gets to sell traditionally. We buy vacant Alberta properties as-is, in whatever condition they're currently in.
What vacancy does to a house
Frozen and burst lines, roof leaks nobody caught, mould, pest damage, break-ins and vandalism are all typical. Those issues make financed buyers and their lenders nervous, which is exactly why long-vacant homes tend to stall on MLS.
Properties we buy
Boarded-up houses, homes with municipal orders outstanding, hoarding situations, homes with fire or water damage, and properties inherited years ago and never dealt with.
- No cleanout needed — leave everything behind
- No repairs, no utilities to restore for showings
- One viewing, no public open houses
- No realtor commissions on a direct sale
If you live elsewhere
Plenty of our sellers own an Alberta property while living in another province or country. We can arrange local access and complete the transaction through your lawyer so you don't have to travel.
