Selling a house in Edmonton without listing it
Edmonton is where we're focused first.
Russ buys houses across Edmonton from owners who want a simpler, more private sale than listing. You don't repair anything, you don't clean anything out, and nobody walks through on a Saturday afternoon.
Many Edmonton houses were built between the 1950s and the 1990s, and they often have the things that go with that age: a foundation that has shifted, original wiring or plumbing, an older furnace, or a roof near the end of its life. Those are normal here. They go into the numbers, and you don't have to fix any of them first.
If your home is updated and you have a few months, listing with a realtor will likely leave you with more money. Russ will tell you if he thinks that's your better route.
How it works
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them.
Tell us about the house
Fill in the short form or call 825-462-1777. It takes about two minutes.
Get your offer
We call you within the next business day to learn about the property, then come back with a written offer within 24 to 48 hours and walk you through how we reached it.
Close on your date
If the offer works for you, choose the closing date. The sale is completed through Alberta real estate lawyers, the same as any other home sale.
Edmonton houses we buy
Any condition, any part of the city. Here are some common situations where selling as-is makes sense.
Older homes that need work
Bungalows and two-storeys with a shifting foundation, aluminum wiring, Poly-B plumbing or a dated interior. We buy them as they sit.
Rentals and houses with suites
Sell with tenants in place. Under Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act the lease carries on and the new owner becomes the landlord, so nobody has to move for you to sell.
Inherited and estate homes
Sell the house with the contents still in it, from wherever you live. Closing can be set for after the grant of probate where one is required.
Condos and townhouses
Often yes, including ones with a special assessment. We review the condominium documents and factor it into the offer.

Common questions from Edmonton sellers
Do you buy houses anywhere in Edmonton?
Yes. We buy across the city and in the communities around it, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Beaumont and Fort Saskatchewan.
How fast can I sell my house in Edmonton?
You pick the closing date. We call you within the next business day and give you a written offer within 24 to 48 hours of seeing the property. The earliest closing date depends on how quickly the lawyers can complete the title work, which is usually a matter of weeks.
My house needs a lot of work. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Foundation, roof, wiring, plumbing or a dated interior all go into the numbers. You don't need to fix anything first.
Can I sell an Edmonton rental with tenants living in it?
Yes. A sale doesn't end a tenancy. Under Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act the lease carries on and the new owner becomes the landlord, so you don't have to ask anyone to move.
I owe City of Edmonton property taxes. Can I still sell?
Yes. Property taxes and any mortgage owing are paid out of the sale at closing through the lawyers. Whatever is left is yours.
Will the offer be less than I'd get by listing?
In most cases, yes. A well-presented home listed with a realtor will usually sell for more. What you get from us in exchange is no repairs, no showings, no commissions and a closing date you choose.
Are there commissions or fees?
No. We're not realtors, so there is no commission, and we don't charge fees of any kind. Your offer spells out in writing exactly who pays which closing costs.
Are you the one who actually buys my house?
We sign the purchase agreement with you. From there we either complete the purchase ourselves or assign the agreement to one of our investor partners, who completes it on exactly the same terms. Either way, the price and closing date in your agreement don't change, and this is written into the contract.
Is the sale private?
Yes. There is no listing, no sign on the lawn and no public showings.
