Tell Us About Your Property
Fill out our short form or give us a call. We gather basic information about your Tremont home — no obligation, ever.
CLE Home Buyers pays cash for houses across Cleveland, the inner-ring suburbs, and the surrounding counties. Any condition. Nothing to fix, nothing to clean out, no commission taken off the top. You get a written offer in 24 hours and you pick the closing date.
Start in the chat window
Open the chat bubble in the corner of your screen and send us the property address. That is the whole first step — no form, no call to schedule.
A listing works well for a maintained house and a seller who has time. These are the situations where it usually doesn't — and where a cash sale actually solves something.
Multiple siblings, an out-of-state executor, and a house in Old Brooklyn nobody can get to on a Saturday. We buy from estates and coordinate with whoever is handling the paperwork.
We buy on the Cuyahoga County Probate Court's timeline rather than pushing you to rush it, and we work directly with the estate's attorney so nothing gets held up at closing.
Delinquent property taxes don't disqualify a sale — they get settled out of the proceeds at closing. We'll pull the parcel and show you where the numbers land before you decide anything.
Cleveland and many inner-ring suburbs require a point-of-sale inspection, and a failed one can mean an escrow hold or a repair list you never planned for. We buy as-is and take the repair obligations on ourselves.
Exterior maintenance citations, condemnation notices, board-up orders. We've handled properties with an open file at the building department and we don't need it cleared before we make an offer.
The date on the notice is the constraint, so tell us early. When the timeline allows it, closing before the sale date is what keeps the outcome in your hands instead of the court's.
Non-paying tenants, an eviction in progress, a duplex that's eaten three furnaces. We buy occupied rentals and take the tenant situation with the property — you don't have to clear it first.
Vacancy in a Cleveland winter is its own risk: frozen lines, copper theft, insurance that won't renew. The sooner an empty house is off your hands, the smaller that exposure gets.
Foundation and basement water, knob-and-tube wiring, a failed roof, fire or smoke damage, a full cleanout. Leave all of it. We price the house with the repairs already accounted for.
One written number, one closing date, no listing photos and no months of showings while two households wait on a buyer's financing.
A job start date, a family situation, a lease you already signed elsewhere. Pick the closing date that fits the move instead of waiting on the market to cooperate.
No agents, no showings, no repair negotiation, no appraisal contingency waiting on someone else's lender.
Message us in the chat window with the property address and a sentence about the situation. We pull the parcel, the tax status, and recent neighborhood sales ourselves — you don't have to gather anything.
About a minute of your timeWithin 24 hours you get a written cash offer with the comparable sales and the repair estimate that produced it. If a comp we used doesn't reflect the house, tell us and we'll rework the number.
Within 24 hoursSigning happens at an Ohio title company, which verifies title and funds independently before anyone signs. You take what you want from the house and leave the rest.
You choose the dateStep one is a message
The chat bubble in the corner of this page is where step one happens. Send the address and we'll take it from there.
A buyer working from a spreadsheet in another state prices a Cleveland colonial the same way it prices a house in Phoenix. That's how offers get retraded a week before closing. We underwrite here, in these neighborhoods, with these ordinances.
An honest caveat: if your house is in good shape and you can wait 60 to 90 days, a traditional listing will usually net you more. We'll tell you that outright rather than waste your time. Our offers make sense when speed, certainty, or condition is the real constraint.
Point-of-sale inspection requirements, escrow holds, and exterior maintenance enforcement vary from Cleveland to Lakewood to Euclid to Garfield Heights. We price with your city's requirements built in, not discovered later.
Sandstone foundations, basement seepage, cloth wiring, single-pane storms, slate roofs at the end of their life. These are the normal findings on this housing stock, and they're already in our numbers.
Tax status, transfer history, liens, and neighborhood sales come from county records — so the offer you read is based on what's actually recorded against the property, not an automated estimate.
We close at licensed Ohio title companies. An independent third party confirms clear title and verifies the funds before you sign anything.
We renovate what we buy and put it back on the street as a home someone lives in. That's the business, and it's why a vacant or violation-flagged property is worth something to us.
Two different tools for two different problems. Here's the comparison without the spin.
| Factor | Traditional listing | CLE Home Buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | 60–90+ days, financing dependent | Days, on the date you choose |
| Agent commission | Typically 5–6% of the sale price | None |
| Repairs before sale | Usually required to pass inspection | None — bought as-is |
| Point-of-sale inspection | Seller handles repairs or escrow hold | We take the repair obligations on |
| Cleanout | House must be emptied and shown clean | Leave whatever you don't want |
| Showings | Ongoing, mostly evenings and weekends | One walkthrough, sometimes none |
| Risk of falling through | Financing, appraisal, and inspection can kill it | Cash — no lender involved |
| Closing costs | Seller pays a share | We cover standard closing costs |
| Likely net proceeds | Higher on a maintained house | Lower, in exchange for speed and certainty |
That last row is the tradeoff, stated plainly. A cash offer buys you time, certainty, and a house you never have to touch again — and it costs you some of the top-of-market price a fully repaired, fully marketed listing could reach.
If your city isn't listed, it's worth asking — we regularly buy just outside these lines.
Not sure we cover your street?
Send the address in the chat window and we'll tell you straight away — including if the answer is no.
These aren't concessions we make when a seller pushes. They're how the process runs by default.
Nothing is quoted verbally under time pressure. You get a document you can read at your own pace, share with an attorney, or sit on for a week.
The comparable sales and repair estimate that produced the offer are in the document. If a comp is wrong for your house, say so and we'll rework it.
Every closing runs through a licensed title company that verifies clear title and confirms funds independently before signing.
The number in the signed contract is the number at closing. We don't discover a reason to lower it once you've turned down other options.
No scripts, no manufactured deadlines, no repeat calls after you've said no. If the offer isn't right for you, that's a complete answer.
If your house would clearly do better with an agent, we say so during the first conversation rather than after you've signed something.
Most sales close within two to three weeks of an accepted offer, and faster is possible when title is clean. The real constraint is title work and your move-out timing, so you set the date and we work to it.
No. There's no agent commission, no listing fee, and no inspection charge, and we cover standard closing costs. Amounts owed against the property — such as the mortgage payoff, delinquent taxes, or liens — are settled from the proceeds at closing, and those figures appear on the settlement statement.
Any condition. Vacant, hoarded, fire damaged, tenant occupied, structurally compromised, mid-renovation. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything before we look at it.
Three figures: what comparable renovated homes in your neighborhood have actually sold for, what it will cost to get your house to that condition, and the holding and resale costs we absorb. All three appear in the written offer, so you can check our work rather than take a number on faith.
No. The offer is free and carries no obligation. Plenty of sellers use ours as a floor while they weigh a listing, and that's a reasonable thing to do with it.
That's routine for us. We work alongside the estate's attorney and the Cuyahoga County Probate Court's timeline. Tell us where the case stands and we'll tell you what's realistic.
Delinquent taxes, judgment liens, and city assessments don't stop a sale. They're paid out of the proceeds at closing, and the title company confirms the exact payoff figures. You'll see the numbers before you sign.
Only of the things you want to keep. Furniture, appliances, a full basement, a garage that hasn't been opened in years — leave it. Cleanout and disposal are ours to handle after closing, at no cost to you.
Yes. We buy occupied rentals and take on the existing leases and the tenant relationship. You don't need to end tenancies or complete an eviction before selling.
Everything starts in the chat window, which keeps the whole conversation in writing and lets you answer when it suits you instead of fielding a call. If you'd rather talk on the phone at some point, ask in the chat and we'll arrange it.
