Harford County's median year built is 1986, so many houses are at the age where windows and roofs need replacing. About 80% of homes are owner occupied, which means most of the houses we hear about belong to people who have lived there for years and watched the repair list grow.

The kinds of Harford County houses we buy
Harford has a lot of different houses to keep up. A split-level in Joppatowne can have a lower floor that needs attention. A townhouse in Abingdon may need a roof and a new kitchen. Older houses in Havre de Grace often have rooms added over the years and plumbing that was patched instead of replaced. If you've put off work because of the cost, show us the house the way it is.
We also buy detached homes around Bel Air and rural properties near Forest Hill and Jarrettsville. A bigger lot can mean more mowing, an outbuilding to maintain or a long driveway to clear. Tell us about the well or septic system if the house has one. You don't need to spend money finding every problem before you ask for an offer. We look at the property and account for the work ourselves.
The Harford County situations we buy in
A lower level that keeps getting wet
If rain leaves water in the lower level of your Edgewood or Joppatowne house, replacing the flooring may feel pointless until the water problem is fixed. We buy houses with damp basements and damaged drywall. Tell us where the water comes in and leave the repair work to us.
Keeping up a rural property
Around Jarrettsville and northern Harford, selling can mean dealing with more than the rooms inside. Maybe the septic system needs work, the shed is falling apart or the acreage has become too much to manage. We can look at the whole property without asking you to clear the land or repair the outbuildings first.
An older Havre de Grace house
You may love the house and still be tired of the upkeep. Old windows stick, the stairs are harder to climb and another plumbing repair is waiting. If you want something smaller, we can buy your Havre de Grace house with its dated rooms and any belongings you choose to leave behind.
Behind on the mortgage
Harford foreclosures go through the Circuit Court in Bel Air. The lender has to run the sale notice in a newspaper once a week for three weeks, and the first notice must appear at least 15 days before the auction. Send us your notice when you call. If we close before the auction, your lender is paid off at closing and the sale is called off.
A rental you want to sell
If you manage an Aberdeen rental from far away, each repair becomes another trip. We buy rentals with tenants still in place and talk through the lease with you. You can ask for an offer while the house is occupied, even if it needs work you planned to do between tenants.
Sorting out an inherited home
An inherited house in Bel Air can leave you paying bills while you decide what to keep. You don't have to empty every closet to start the sale. We can make an offer with the furniture still inside and arrange closing once the estate paperwork is ready for the sale.
How selling for cash works in Harford County
Call us or fill out the form with your Harford County address. We talk through the condition and send a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, a title company handles settlement and pays off your mortgage. You choose the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, and you leave the repairs and cleaning to us. There are no closing costs and no agent commissions.
In Maryland the lender files a foreclosure in the Circuit Court for the county where the house sits. For Harford, that is the courthouse at 20 West Courtland Street in Bel Air. The lender can sell the house at auction, and the court has to approve that sale before the new owner takes title. The newspaper notice gives the auction's date, time and place, so keep it and have it in front of you when you call.
The notice has to run once a week for three weeks. The first one must appear at least 15 days before the auction, and the last no more than a week before it. Until one business day before the sale, you can also stop the foreclosure by paying the lender what you owe. If you sell to us first, the lender is paid in full at closing and the sale is cancelled. We need a little time to check title and get the payoff amount, so call as soon as the papers arrive.
If you'd rather work with a team that only buys in Maryland, our sister company Memorable Home Buyers covers Harford County too.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Run the numbers on a Harford County sale
Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.
What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in Harford County is worth about $386,400. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $23,184 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.
Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
What you can hold us to when you sell
You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
