Tacoma's older neighborhoods are full of early-1900s houses, and much of the city sits inside the old Asarco "Tacoma Smelter Plume," where soil can carry arsenic and lead. Add in military moves from Joint Base Lewis-McChord and lots of rentals (Census estimates put renters at more than 4 in 10 households), and you get many owners who need to sell on a deadline or from far away. 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.
