We buy houses in Jamestown
I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses in Jamestown for cash, as-is, and can close in as little as 7 days or on your date. On Conanicut Island, public sewer reaches only the village between West Ferry and East Ferry. Everywhere else, Jamestown Shores included, runs on septic under a town ordinance that requires a baseline inspection and routine inspections after that.
We buy year-round and seasonal houses anywhere on the island. You'd be selling to the owners themselves, JB Jackson and his wife, Robin Adams, lifelong Rhode Islanders who've bought more than 3,000 houses with their own money. Our offer is below a full retail sale, in exchange for speed and certainty, and we cover the closing costs.

Houses we see in Jamestown
Septic rules shape a lot of Jamestown sales, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys both of these kinds of house as they are.
- Jamestown Shores and Conanicut Park houses. Both sit in the High Groundwater Overlay, where a new septic system or a major repair on a lot under 40,000 square feet needs RIDEM-approved nitrogen-reducing technology, and the Shores has no public water or sewer.
- Houses with an old system. Cesspools, steel tanks and systems from before April 9, 1968, were due for replacement by January 1, 2016, with hardship extensions for lower-income owners.

Selling a house in Jamestown: common questions
Do you buy in Jamestown Shores, with no public water or sewer?
Yes. Most Shores lots are undersized 7,200-square-foot lots from the original plat. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys Shores houses as they are, failing septic and all, so a replacement that would need nitrogen-reducing technology becomes the buyer's job rather than yours.
What about a Jamestown house in a flood zone?
I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses in Jamestown's flood zones as they are, water damage included. Most of Jamestown's shoreline is steep and rocky, but at Round Swamp the flood zone cuts the island in half, and FEMA has 63 flood claims on record here since 1978.
Can an executor sell a Jamestown house during probate?
Usually, once they have authority to sell. Jamestown Probate Court has its own judge and sits at 9 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month in the Town Council Chambers at Town Hall. I Buy Rhode Island Houses can make an offer while the estate is open and close when the executor is ready. Selling a house in probate.
