Sell Your Hoarder House in California -No Cleaning, No Judgment, Just Cash
Sadly, hoarding situations develop over many years, sometimes even decades. By the time it becomes a problem that needs solving, the house can feel utterly impossible to deal with. That means rooms you can’t walk through, items piled to the ceiling, and a cleanup job so overwhelming that most people don’t know where to begin.
If you are trying to sell a hoarder house, the traditional real estate market isn’t designed for you. The fact is that agents want staged homes, while buyers want move-in ready. Either way, nobody wants to schedule a showing when you can barely open the front door.
Osborne Homes is a real estate investment company that buys hoarder houses throughout California. We pay cash, close quickly, and purchase properties exactly as they are, including contents, if necessary.
We Buy Hoarder Houses ‘AS IS’
We have hoarder-house-buyer clients ready to go, happy to buy in any condition. You don’t need to sort through anything, throw anything away, or hire a cleaning crew, just leave everything where it sits. We handle the entire cleanout after closing, and we do it responsibly and ethically, recycling and donating what we can.

Why Selling a Hoarder House the Traditional Way Doesn't Work
Selling a hoarder house with a real estate agent sounds reasonable until you think through what that actually involves.
Agents won’t list it in its current state. Real estate agents rely on photos, showings, and curb appeal. A house filled floor-to-ceiling with belongings doesn’t photograph well, and most agents will insist on a cleanout before they’ll take the listing.
Cleanout costs are staggering. Professional hoarder house cleaning services can run anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the severity. That’s money spent before you’ve sold anything.
The emotional toll is real. Whether it’s your own home or a property you’ve inherited, sorting through decades of accumulated items is exhausting, both physically and emotionally. Many people start the process and simply can’t finish.
Traditional buyers aren’t interested. Even after a cleanout, hoarder houses often have hidden damage, including stained floors, pest infestations, and mold from blocked ventilation. Buyers see the history and walk away.

Selling a Hoarder House? We Handle It All, No Exceptions
When we say we buy hoarder houses, we mean every level of hoarding, from cluttered rooms to properties that haven’t been properly accessible in years. Osborne Homes has been purchasing difficult properties since 2007, and hoarder homes are something we handle regularly.
Severe Hoarding Situations
Some homes have accumulation in every room, floor to ceiling. Pathways are narrow or nonexistent. These properties require specialized cleanup that most buyers won't consider. We take them as-is.
Inherited Hoarder Houses
Inheriting a hoarder house adds grief to an already overwhelming situation. You're processing loss while facing a property that feels impossible to deal with. We work with heirs throughout California, purchasing inherited hoarder homes so you don't have to sort through someone else's lifetime of belongings.
Hidden Damage Under the Clutter
Hoarder houses often have problems that only become visible after a cleanout, such as water damage, pest infestations, mold, and structural issues from years of neglect. Traditional buyers run from these discoveries. We factor them into our offer from the start.
Biohazard and Unsafe Conditions
Some hoarding situations involve biohazard conditions that require professional remediation. If your property has health and safety concerns, we still buy it. We have the resources to handle proper cleanup after closing.
Whether you’re dealing with a mildly cluttered home or a severe hoarding situation, we’re among the leading hoarder house buyers who take properties others won’t touch, and we won’t change our offer after seeing inside.
