Salt Lake City sits on the Wasatch Fault, and many of its older homes are unreinforced brick. The March 2020 Magna earthquake damaged homes across Salt Lake County, and some were damaged beyond repair. Brick homes that had been reinforced through the "Fix the Bricks" program held up far better. Census estimates put a quarter of the city's homes before 1940. If you own an older Salt Lake house that needs work, 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.

Why Salt Lake City owners sell to us
We hear from landlords, heirs settling a family home, owners who don't want to retrofit an old brick house, and people relocating out of state.
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 Salt Lake City
Estates for Salt Lake County residents go through the Third Judicial District Court. Utah's small-estate affidavit can't transfer real property, so a house usually needs probate. Trustee sales follow at least three months after the notice of default. See our Utah page.
