We’ve bought in Edmond too, not just the houses right around our office. When three siblings inherited a set of rental homes here, they weren’t looking to become landlords. They wanted a fair number and a clean handoff. That’s most of what brings Edmond sellers to us: an inherited house, tenants already in place, or a rental that’s turned into more work than it’s worth.
We buy as-is and work around whatever’s already happening at the house: tenants in place, a property manager involved, multiple heirs who all need to agree. No repairs, no listing, no showings required before we can make an offer.
A Closer Look at Edmond
Edmond is one of the oldest towns in the area, named back in 1887 for a Santa Fe railroad agent, and it has grown into one of the metro’s most sought-after suburbs. It is home to the University of Central Oklahoma, which gives the downtown its energy, and it keeps its history close with a museum in a National-Register 1936 armory. Edmond is also one of only a handful of Oklahoma cities that owns its own electric utility, which tells you something about the town’s independent streak. The housing runs from established homes near the university to newer master-planned neighborhoods, and plenty of it has been in the same families for years.
Why People Sell Their Edmond Home to Us
In a growing suburb like Edmond, we hear from a real range of owners. Some inherited a family home and live too far to manage it, some are landlords ready to be done, some are relocating on short notice, and some are behind on taxes or payments and want to get ahead of it. Others just have a house that needs more work than they want to put in. Whatever the reason, we buy the house as-is and take the repairs, the upkeep, and the cleanout off your plate.
Behind on Taxes, Facing Foreclosure, or Settling an Estate?
If you are behind on Oklahoma County property taxes, you likely have more time than you think, generally about three years before the county’s June resale, and our Oklahoma County page explains exactly how that works. If foreclosure is the worry, Oklahoma gives you real time, up until the court confirms the sale, covered in our Oklahoma foreclosure guide. If you inherited the house, our Oklahoma probate guide explains when you can sell. We never publish anyone’s name.
Utilities in Edmond, and Selling a House With the Power Already Off
Edmond is a little different from its neighbors: the city owns its utility. Electric, water, and sewer all run through the City of Edmond and Edmond Electric, which has powered the town since 1908, while gas is through Oklahoma Natural Gas. And if the house is already sitting empty with the power and water shut off, that is no problem for us. We buy vacant Edmond houses with the utilities already off all the time, and a cash sale clears any past-due utility bills at closing.
How Fast Can You Buy My House in Edmond?
Because we are right here in the metro, we can usually come look at your house within a day or two, and hand you a written cash offer with no obligation. From there, closing often takes about two to three weeks once title clears, and sometimes faster, but you pick the date. Waiting on probate or lining up your next place? You set the schedule.
Do You Buy Older or Higher-End Homes That Need Work?
Yes, any condition and any price range. From an older home near the university that needs everything to a larger home with storm or water damage, we buy it, and you fix nothing and clean out nothing. Take what you want and leave the rest.
