Vacant Property Buyers in Seattle, WA
An empty house costs you money every month and gets riskier the longer it sits. We buy vacant Seattle properties as-is, for cash, fast.
🤝 How We Can Help
A vacant property is rarely as harmless as it looks. Taxes, insurance, utilities, and yard upkeep keep draining your account, while the empty house quietly attracts break-ins, vandalism, and squatters. If it's an inherited home, a former rental, or a place you've simply moved on from, every month it sits empty is money lost.
Your Friendly House Buyers has bought vacant Seattle homes since 2011, including properties owners haven't visited in years. We buy as-is — boarded up, full of leftover belongings, or damaged — with a free cash offer within 24 hours, no fees or commissions, closing costs paid, and a closing date you choose, as soon as 7 days out. You don't even need to be in Washington to sell.

🚧 What You're Up Against
Carrying costs with nothing back
Property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance on a vacant King County home can easily run hundreds of dollars a month — with zero income against it. Those costs don't pause while you decide what to do. Selling stops the bleed the day you close.
Squatters, vandalism, and break-ins
Empty houses get noticed. Seattle vacant properties are common targets for break-ins, stripped copper, and unauthorized occupants — and removing squatters can take months through the courts. The longer the home sits, the more damage and legal risk piles up.
Insurance that gets harder and pricier
Many insurers reduce coverage or cancel policies on homes vacant more than 30–60 days, and specialty vacant-home policies cost far more. One uninsured break-in or burst pipe can wipe out years of the property's value. Selling as-is transfers that risk to us.

Vacant homes are a visible issue in Seattle, and the city takes notice too — unsecured empty buildings can draw code enforcement complaints and fines, and King County property taxes keep accruing whether anyone lives there or not. We've bought vacant properties all over the county, often from owners living out of state, and we can have the home secured and the sale closed in a matter of days.
💬 Your Questions, Answered
I live out of state. Can I still sell my vacant Seattle property to you?
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle. We can do the walkthrough without you there, send the written offer remotely, and the title company can arrange remote or mail-away signing. Many out-of-state owners never set foot in Seattle during the sale.
The house still has furniture and junk in it. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Take anything you want to keep and leave the rest — we buy the property with whatever is inside and handle the cleanout after closing. There's no need to fly back and spend weekends emptying the house.
What if the property has been broken into or has squatter damage?
We still buy it. Broken windows, stripped fixtures, graffiti, and vandalism are factored into our repair estimate, not reasons to walk away. If unauthorized occupants are present, talk to us — we've navigated those situations and can often still structure a purchase.
How fast can you close on a vacant house?
Because nobody needs to move out, vacant properties are often our fastest closings — as little as 7 days from accepted offer. We make the offer within 24 hours of getting your property info, and you pick the closing date that fits your situation.
