I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses for cash all over Rhode Island, including in situations that make a normal sale hard: an inherited house, heirs who disagree, probate, foreclosure, liens or title problems, tenants, repairs, fire or water damage, a hoarder house, a divorce, or land. Not only do we buy houses, we help people out of difficult or uncomfortable ownership situations, and we've been doing it since 1975. We buy as-is, pay cash and cover the closing costs.
Situations we buy Rhode Island houses in
Inherited a house
You've inherited a Rhode Island house you don't plan to keep, maybe from out of state. We buy it as it is.
More than one owner
Heirs who don't agree. We can make an offer on the whole house, and in some cases we've bought one owner's share.
Probate
The house is still in an estate. We'll work with the executor and the estate's attorney on timing.
Behind on the mortgage
A sale that closes before the foreclosure auction pays off the loan.
Liens or title problems
Back taxes, judgments, an old mortgage that was never released, or a cloudy title. Liens get paid off at closing.
Tired landlord
We buy rentals with the tenants still in them, including two-families and triple-deckers.
House needs repairs
A bad roof, open code violations, or a house that's just ugly and worn out. You don't fix anything first.
Fire or water damage
We buy damaged houses as they are, before or after the insurance claim is settled.
Hoarder house
A house too full to show. Take what you want to keep, and in most cases you can leave the rest.
Divorce
A quick, private sale when you both need to move on, on a timeline your attorneys can plan around.
Land
We buy land too: vacant lots and acreage anywhere in Rhode Island.
You don't want to move
Behind on the house and don't want to lose it? We'll sit down with you and talk through your options.
Something else
If owning the house has gotten complicated in a way that isn't listed here, call 401-267-1400 and tell us about it.
Questions about hard situations
What if my situation isn't on the list?
Call I Buy Rhode Island Houses at 401-267-1400 and tell us about it. If it's a Rhode Island house with a complicated story, it's worth a call.
Can you buy a house with more than one of these problems?
Yes. Plenty of houses have several at once, like an inherited house with back taxes, tenants and a roof that needs work. I Buy Rhode Island Houses makes one cash offer for the house as it is.
Do I have to fix anything or clean out the house first?
No. We buy Rhode Island houses as they are, and in most cases you can leave behind whatever you don't want.
How fast can you close?
In as little as 7 days once the paperwork is ready, or on the date you pick. Some situations, like probate or a title problem, take longer to clear before anyone can close.
