Sell My Hoarder House
The short answer.
Yes. A hoarder house can be sold as-is with the contents still inside: the family keeps what matters and the buyer prices the cleanout into the offer. No showings, no appraisal, no lender. Disclosure rules still apply in Florida and Idaho.
InTym Properties buys hoarder houses nationwide, as-is, contents and all. The family takes what it wants to keep and leaves the rest; the cleanout becomes our cost, priced into a written offer usually within 48 hours. Call (650) 540-1854.
Packed rooms, blocked exits, a cleanout nobody can face. Bought as it sits, contents and all.

Hoarder House in Broward County.
A hoarder house fails the traditional sale at four points. Showings: packed rooms, blocked exits, and odor end the walkthrough in the doorway. Disclosure: under the Florida Supreme Court's Johnson v. Davis standard, sellers must disclose known material defects, and whatever the cleanout would reveal, water damage, pests, mold, deferred maintenance, goes on the form once known. Financing: appraisers flag condition, lenders condition the loan on repairs, and insurers decline homes they cannot fully inspect, so financed buyers die at underwriting weeks in. And the cleanout itself: published cost guides put straightforward junk removal at a few thousand dollars, while biohazard conditions or remediation can run into the tens of thousands before a single repair dollar is spent. None of that gates a cash sale. One walkthrough, no yard sign, nothing announced to the neighborhood. InTym Properties prices the cleanout into the written offer as a line item, not a surprise.
Hoarder houses in Idaho.
Idaho's version runs on the same four failure points, with one statutory difference: where Florida's disclosure duty comes from case law, Idaho's is codified. Under Idaho Code §§ 55-2501 through 55-2517, residential sellers deliver a property condition disclosure form, and known defects, water intrusion, pests, mold, belong on it whether the house is packed or empty. The cleanout math is the same range: junk removal in the low thousands, biohazard or remediation work into the tens of thousands. And the estate pattern is the same in Boise, Nampa, and Idaho Falls: most hoarder houses get sold by a family member handling an estate or stepping in for a relative, not by the person who filled the house. Idaho's informal probate moves faster than Florida's, and InTym Properties can write the offer while title is still clearing.

Questions.
Do I have to clean out a hoarder house before selling it?
Not for a cash sale. InTym Properties buys the house with the contents in it: the family takes what it wants to keep, documents, photos, heirlooms, and leaves the rest. The cleanout becomes our cost after closing, priced into the written offer.
Do I still have to disclose the condition if I sell as-is?
Yes. As-is means no repair obligation, not no disclosure. Florida sellers must disclose known material defects under the Johnson v. Davis standard; Idaho requires a seller property condition disclosure form under Idaho Code §§ 55-2501 through 55-2517. Tell the truth on the form: the condition is priced in anyway.
Can you buy a hoarder house that is still in probate or still occupied?
Usually yes. If title has not cleared the estate, InTym Properties can make the written offer now and close when it does. If someone still lives in the home, the closing date gets built around a real move-out date. Both are routine through licensed title companies.
How much less is a hoarder house worth?
Worth minus cost. The offer is after-repair value minus cleanout, remediation, and repair, minus holding costs and margin. Published cost guides put hoarder cleanouts anywhere from a few thousand dollars for junk removal to tens of thousands when biohazard or structural remediation is involved. Every line is shown in writing.
Will the neighbors find out?
A cash sale has no yard sign, no listing photos, and no open house. One walkthrough, scheduled quietly, is the whole inspection.
How fast can you close on a hoarder house?
As little as 7 days if title is clear, and the timeline flexes the other way too: families routinely take two or three weeks inside the contract period to pull keepsakes and paperwork before closing.
