Tarek El Moussa · As Seen on HGTVThe House Is Overwhelming. We'll Buy It — Contents and All.
Serving Tampa Bay & Surrounding Areas
Nobody judges you here. Hoarding situations are more common than people realize — and they make selling a house feel impossible. The cleanout alone can cost $10K-$30K and take weeks. Traditional buyers won't walk through the door. My Tampa Bay team buys hoarder homes exactly as they are. We handle the entire cleanout after closing. You just take what matters to you and walk away.
- We buy with everything inside — no cleanout required before selling
- Complete privacy — no listing photos, no public showings
- Our team handles the full cleanout after closing, professionally and respectfully
All transactions handled by a licensed third-party title company.

What Sellers Like You Experience
A Tampa Bay A Hoarder Home
Every room was floor-to-ceiling. Three dumpsters wouldn't have been enough. Two real estate agents had refused to list it. Professional cleanout bids came in at $18K-$26K. The owner was overwhelmed and ashamed to let anyone inside.
After Working With Us
One private walkthrough with our acquisition manager — no judgment, no cameras, no photos. Cash offer made on the spot. Owner took personal items over a weekend. We handled the full cleanout professionally. Closed in 16 days.
Why Traditional Sales Don't Work Here
An agent needs to photograph the home. Buyers need to walk through. Inspectors need access. None of that works with a hoarder house. You'd need to spend $15K-$30K on cleanout first, then repairs, then listing. That process takes 3-6 months and puts your situation on public display. We skip all of it.
