Sell a house you cannot keep, on terms that work for you
Yes, we can buy your house even if you still owe on it, are behind on payments, or cannot afford repairs. We can take over your mortgage payments, buy on seller-finance terms, or lease with an option to buy, and we close on your timeline. We charge sellers no commissions and no fees.
Which situation sounds like yours?
Each page below speaks to one situation in plain language. Start with the one closest to yours.
Inherited house
You were left a house you did not plan for, in a place you may not live.
Behind on payments
The mortgage is late and the letters are piling up. Options exist before the last stage.
Selling a rental you are done with
You have carried the property long enough and want a clean exit.
Sell as-is
The house needs work, and you want to hand it over just as it stands.
Probate
The house is part of an estate and the court process sets the pace.
How does selling to Marcus Property Group work?
Four steps. You decide at each one, and you can stop at any one.
- Tell us about the house
Share the address, the loan if there is one, and what is going on. A short form or a call both work.
- We review and explain
We look at the property and your situation, then lay out the options in plain words, including the risks.
- You choose the path
Take over payments, seller finance, or a lease option. You choose the timeline that fits your life.
- We close and the house moves on
The house becomes a co-living home for a housing program. You know where it went.
What can and can't Marcus Property Group promise?
Honesty first. This is what you can count on, and what no buyer should promise you.
What we can do
- Explain every option in plain words before you sign.
- Buy the house as-is, with no repairs from you.
- Work around your timeline where the situation allows.
- Charge no commissions and no fees to the seller.
- Tell you straight if another path would serve you better.
What we can't do
- Promise a particular price before we have reviewed the property.
- Promise that we are the right fit for every house.
- Give legal, tax or financial advice. Talk to your own advisor.
- Promise how a lender will act on a loan we take over.
- Stop a lender or a court process by ourselves.
Every offer is based on the specific property and situation.
Where does the house go after I sell it?
Many sellers tell us this matters. After we buy, we prepare the house as a turnkey co-living home. Then we lease the whole house to a vetted nonprofit or community partner who places residents and runs the program.
That could mean a recovery home, housing for young adults leaving foster care, a safe house for survivors and single moms, veterans, or seniors. The house you could not keep becomes a home someone needs.
Questions sellers ask
More answers live on the full FAQ.
Can you buy my house if I still owe on the mortgage?
Often, yes. With a Subject-To purchase the loan stays in place and we take over the payments. Whether it fits depends on the loan, the house and your situation, so we review the details first.
Do I need to fix anything before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is. You do not need to repair, clean out, stage or show the house.
Will I pay commissions or fees?
No. We buy directly, so there are no agent commissions and no fees charged to the seller.
What happens to my house after I sell it?
We prepare it as a turnkey co-living home and lease the whole house to a vetted nonprofit or community housing partner who places residents and runs the program.
