We buy houses in Cleveland, Ohio
Selling your house doesn't have to be hard. Get a fair cash offer on your house just as it is, with no repairs, no fees, and a closing day you choose.
Skip the listing hassles and sell on your terms
Selling the usual way means repairs, showings, commissions and months of waiting. We think it should be simpler than that.
We'll make you a fair cash offer, work around your timeline, and buy the house as-is. No need to fix or clean a thing. We handle all of that after closing.

Selling to us or listing it
Listing can bring a higher price, and for some houses it's the right choice. Selling to us trades some of that for speed, certainty and no work. If listing fits you better, we'll tell you.

Questions people ask us
If yours isn't here, just call. There's no such thing as a silly question about selling a house.
Is there any cost or obligation?
No. Getting an offer is free, and you're not committed to anything until you sign a written purchase agreement.
How do you come up with the offer?
We look at what similar houses nearby have sold for, then account for the repairs the house needs and our costs. We'll walk you through the numbers so you can see exactly how we got there.
Do I need to clean or fix anything?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition.
Can I leave things behind?
Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest. We'll handle it after closing.
Are there fees or commissions?
No commissions, and we pay the closing costs. Your written offer shows exactly what you'll walk away with.
The house has tenants. Is that a problem?
No. We buy occupied rentals and can work with the leases already in place.
There's a mortgage or lien on the house. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. Mortgages, back taxes and many liens are paid off at closing through the title company.
My suburb requires a point-of-sale inspection. Do I have to fix the violations first?
Usually not. In many suburbs, the buyer can take on the repairs or money is held in escrow at closing. The rules differ city by city, and we'll walk you through yours, from Euclid to Cleveland Heights to Garfield Heights.
My rental doesn't have a Lead Safe Certificate. Can I still sell?
Yes. We buy pre-1978 Cleveland rentals with or without a Lead Safe Certificate and handle it after closing.
I have code violations or a housing court case. Can you help?
Often, yes. We buy houses with open violations. If there's a court case, tell us on the call so we can plan the sale around it.
How fast can you close?
As quickly as 7 days when the title is clear. If you need more time, that's fine too. You pick the date.
Are you real estate agents?
No. People First Property buys houses directly and doesn't act as anyone's agent. Our founder holds an Ohio real estate license, which we disclose in writing in every purchase.
