Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vacant house cost me each month in Reno?
Between property taxes, insurance, utilities, and basic maintenance, most vacant homes in Reno cost owners several hundred dollars per month or more — all while generating zero income.
Can I sell a vacant house that needs repairs?
Yes. We buy vacant homes in any condition. Deferred maintenance, vandalism damage, weather deterioration — none of it matters. We buy as-is.
What if my vacant house has been broken into or vandalized?
We buy vandalized properties regularly. The damage affects our offer price but not our willingness to buy. You do not need to repair anything before selling.
Does my insurance still cover a vacant property in NV?
Most standard homeowner policies reduce or exclude coverage after a property has been vacant for 30 to 60 days. This means you may be carrying a liability with limited protection. Selling eliminates that risk entirely.
I live out of state — can I sell a vacant Reno house remotely?
Yes. Many of our sellers live in a different state. We coordinate everything remotely, including inspections, paperwork, and closing. You can sign documents via remote notarization.
What if the vacant house still has a mortgage?
The mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, just like any other sale. Even if the property has been vacant, the sale process is the same.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
