We got a call this week from Patrick.
He inherited his mom's house in Raleigh, right here in Memphis, Tennessee. Four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms. His mom had passed, and now he's holding a property he doesn't want to repair, doesn't want to list, and doesn't have time to deal with.
He just needs it gone. Fast.
This is one of the most common calls we get — and it's exactly what we're built for.
The Situation
Patrick's situation is straightforward: inherited home, no desire to do repairs, needs a quick sale.
He's not looking for top dollar. He's looking for certainty.
That word — certainty — is what separates us from everyone else in this business. Not price. Certainty.
When you call a local cash buyer like Spencer Buys Houses, you get things that an out-of-town buyer simply cannot offer:
- Same-day walkthrough. We go out and look at the property the day you call.
- Seven-day close. If we agree on price, we can be at the closing table in a week.
- Local attorneys. We connect you with our attorneys right here in Memphis. Not some random title company three states away.
- No contingencies. No inspections holding up the deal. No financing falling through at the last minute.
Why "Local" Matters
There's a difference between a reliable buyer and an unreliable one.
An out-of-town investor might send you an offer over email, promise you a fast close, and then drag it out for 45 days while they try to line up financing or find a buyer to assign it to.
We're not that.
We've bought hundreds of houses right here in Memphis. Our clients come back to us. They refer their neighbors to us. That's because when we say seven days — we mean seven days.
What Happens to the House After We Buy It
Here's something we always want to be upfront about: we're investors.
That means we generally need a small discount on the home — not a major haircut, but enough margin to make the numbers work. We buy the house, clean it up, and then either renovate and rent it or renovate and resell it.
We're not flipping people. We're running a business that serves a real need.
And to be honest — if you have a home that's already in great shape, fixed up, move-in ready? You might be better off listing it on the open market. We'll tell you that straight. There's no reason to sell to us at a discount if you don't need to.
But if you've got an inherited home, a house that needs work, or you simply need to sell fast with no headaches? That's where we come in.
Patrick's Deal
We're heading out to look at Patrick's property in Raleigh this week.
Four bedrooms, two and a half baths. If we agree on price, we'll close in seven days.
No contingencies. No repairs. No waiting.
That's the job.
If you have a house in Memphis you need to sell — inherited, behind on payments, needs work, or just needs to go — give us a call. We'll come out same day, make you an offer, and close on your timeline.
