Hurricane Harvey flooded it. There was no insurance.
The owner wanted to move out of state to be closer to family, and had no way to pay for the repairs standing between her and that. We bought it as it stood and did the restoration ourselves over eleven months. This is all of it.
Thanks — someone will call shortly.

Hurricane Harvey put water through this house. She had no flood insurance, which meant no payout, no adjuster, and no path to funding the repairs. She wanted to move out of state to be closer to family.
A traditional sale wasn't realistic. Retail buyers need financing, financing needs an appraisal, and an appraiser doesn't sign off on a house that's taken on water and hasn't been remediated. The buyers who would look at it in that condition were cash buyers.
We made a fair offer, bought it as it stood, and she moved. She didn't repair anything, clean anything, or wait on anyone else's lender.
What we took on
Eleven months of work. The house came back to the studs. Flooring, drywall, kitchen, bathrooms, and everything the water had reached behind the walls.
We kept the original ceiling beams in the living room. They were solid, they were the best thing in the house, and there was no reason to lose them.
What a flooded house looks like when we're done
Pick a room, then switch between November 2021 and October 2022.

Stripped back to the studs. You can still see the waterline across the wall.
We paid for every bit of that work — not the seller. That's what "we buy as-is" actually means.
Where it stands today
Restored and sold in 2024 to a family who moved straight in.
She didn't spend a dollar on any of this. That's the difference between a cash offer and a listing when the house isn't ready to be listed.
