Reno's prices have climbed fast. Census estimates put the median home value near $500,000, and about half of households rent. That makes older Reno homes valuable, even when they need a lot of work. Older houses near the Truckee River and in the Old Southwest also come with snow, freeze-thaw cycles and a river with a history of flooding, which hit hard in January 1997. If you own one, we'll make you a cash offer as-is.
We buy houses in all 50 states. These are just some of the areas we serve. Don't see your city? We still want to hear from you.

What we see in Reno houses
- Older close-in homes. Pre-war and mid-century homes near downtown and the river with original systems.
- Winter wear. Snow loads, frozen pipes and roof wear, which you don't see in Las Vegas.
- River and flood zones. Low-lying areas along the Truckee River.
- Rentals. Many long-held rentals near UNR and Midtown.
Why Reno owners sell to us
We hear from landlords, heirs living out of state, and owners relocating who don't want to update and stage a house.
See our pages for an inherited house, probate, a house that needs repairs, being a tired landlord, or a vacant house.
Probate and foreclosure in Reno
Estates for Washoe County residents go through the Second Judicial District Court. Washoe County sets its own transfer tax rate. Nevada foreclosures are usually trustee sales with a mediation option. See our Nevada page.
Questions Reno sellers ask
Is my older house worth selling as-is in Reno?
Often, yes. With Reno's prices, the location carries a lot of the value.
Will you buy in Sparks too?
Yes.
Can I sell a rental near UNR with tenants?
Yes. We buy with tenants in place.
