"I know the Des Moines market inside and out. I frequently see Ranch and Split-Level homes from the mid-century dealing with critical issues like failing cast iron pipes. When you sell to us, you avoid the headache and expense of these repairs.
Unlike big box brokerages like Coldwell Banker, we offer a direct, as-is purchase, saving you time, stress, and substantial fees. With MyFastCashOffer, you're not just selling a house; you're gaining peace of mind and saving upwards of $14,700 in realtor commissions."
— Max Cohen, Founder of MyFastCashOffer
Many older Ranch and Split-Level homes in Des Moines suffer from age-related deterioration, particularly issues like failing cast iron pipes. These can lead to massive, unexpected repair bills. We buy homes as-is, saving you thousands.
Navigating an Iowa foreclosure can be a confusing and lengthy process, with timelines that can stretch 6-12 months (judicial process). Our rapid cash offers provide a swift escape, protecting your credit and future.

Navigating property transactions in Iowa requires an understanding of state and local regulations. For instance, Iowa Code Chapter 654 outlines the judicial foreclosure process, which can be complex and time-consuming. Selling to a cash buyer like us can help you bypass these legal complexities and expedite your sale.
If you've inherited a home in Des Moines, understanding the probate process is crucial. We offer guidance and a quick solution for inherited homes, making the transfer of property less burdensome. Similarly, dealing with an abandoned property can lead to ongoing liabilities and code violations, which we can help you avoid by buying your house as-is.
Property taxes in Polk County are managed by the Polk County Assessor, and understanding your annual assessment is important. We account for all these factors when providing our fair cash offers.
