Sell Your House
Sell a Water-Damaged House
Water damage, whether from a burst pipe, a roof leak, or flooding, can be expensive to remediate. We buy these properties as-is and handle the renovation ourselves.
Quick Facts
- Undetected water damage can lead to mold, which gets more expensive to remediate the longer it's left.
- Standard homeowners insurance and flood insurance are different policies, and not all water damage is covered the same way.
- A water-damaged house can be sold as-is, without repairing plumbing, flooring, or drywall first.
- Water damage findings during a buyer's inspection are one of the most common reasons a traditional sale falls through.
- We buy water-damaged properties in any condition and handle the repair ourselves after closing.
House Junkies is vertically integrated: we buy, renovate with our own licensed crew (CA LIC#1077593), and can resell through our own brokerage (DRE #02165291), so there's no middleman shopping your deal to a stranger.

Cash Offer vs. Listing
Why Sell to House Junkies Instead of a Market Listing
Listing will get you top dollar with the right timing and a house that is market ready. For homes that need work, here is how the options actually stack up.
Selling to House Junkies
Sell It As-Is
No repairs, no cleaning, no property clean-out. Leave the house exactly how it is, and leave behind anything you do not want.
No Commissions or Fees
There is no agent to pay and nothing comes out of your check for us. The number on the offer is the number you get.
We Pay the Closing Costs
Escrow, title, and closing costs are on us, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
A Cash Offer That Holds
We close with our own capital, so there is no buyer's loan to fall through and no lender appraisal to blow up the deal.
You Pick the Closing Date
Most deals close in 14 days, as fast as 7 if you need to, or later if you need time to move.
Listing With an Agent
Repairs and Prep First
Buyers and their inspectors expect a house that is ready to go. Fixes, cleaning, and staging usually come out of your pocket.
Commissions Come Out of Your Sale
Agent commissions usually run 5-6% of the sale price, plus marketing and other costs.
Seller Closing Costs
Title, escrow, transfer tax, and any repair credits the buyer asks for after inspection get paid out of your proceeds.
Deals Can Fall Through
Most buyers need a loan. If their financing or the appraisal falls short, you can end up back on the market when you need to move.
Longer, Less Certain Timeline
Showings, offers, inspections, and loan approval often take 60 to 90 days or more, with open houses along the way.
