Nikita Buys Houses

Buying in all 50 states

Whatever is going on with the house, there is a way through it.

We are Nikita and Sabrina, and we buy houses for cash ourselves, with our own money. The ones that need work. The ones with tenants who stopped paying. The ones still full of forty years of somebody’s life.

You do not have to fix anything, clean anything, or explain anything. We also will not put a number on your house. You already know what you need to get for it. Tell us that, and we will tell you straight whether we can work with it.

  • No commissions

    We are the buyer, not an agent and not a wholesaler.

  • No repairs

    We buy in any condition, including houses nobody would list.

  • You pick the date

    Fast if you need fast. Later if you need later.

  • The price holds

    Once we agree on a number, we do not move it before closing.

We buy with our own money. We are not a lead broker. Your details are never sold to a list of other investors, which is what happens on most sites that look like this one.

Tell us about the house

Step 1 of 2

Street address is enough to start.

No obligation, no fees, and we never sell your information.

How selling to us actually works

Three steps, no pressure at any of them, and a real person on the other end of every one.

  1. Tell us about the house, and your number

    The address, a rough idea of its condition, and what you need to get for it. No photos, appraisal, or repair estimates needed, and nothing has to be cleaned up first.

    About 2 minutes

  2. We check whether your number works

    We look up recent sales of similar homes nearby and see the house ourselves. Then we check the math against your number. It takes one walkthrough, at a time that suits you, and we pay for any inspection.

    Usually within 24 to 48 hours

  3. You get a straight answer, not a pitch

    Either yes, we can do your number, or no, we cannot, and here is exactly where the gap is. You get it in writing, with no pressure and no deadline games. If it works, a title company handles closing and you pick the date.

    Close in about 1 to 3 weeks, or later if you prefer

Two things go wrong with cash buyers

Almost every bad story in this business is one of these two. Learn to spot both before you call anyone, including us.

The insulting number

A number so low it is clearly an opening move, not a serious one. It is a tactic aimed at people who seem desperate enough to take it. It stays common because it sometimes works. If a number ever makes you feel small, that says nothing about your house.

The number that moves

This one is more common, and worse. Someone agrees to a good price. You sign, stop taking calls, and book the movers. Days before closing, the number drops. Usually they were never buying the house. They meant to sell your contract on, found no one at their price, and now yours has to move.

We are the actual buyer

We buy with our own money, and the deed comes to us. We do not pass your contract on to someone else. So there is no missing third party to force a new price later. If we tell you your number works, that is the number we close on.

It is also why we can start from your number instead of ours. We buy three different ways: all cash, seller financing, or subject to your existing mortgage. So the question is which one reaches what you need, not how far down we can talk you.

You can often reach a high number if you are flexible about when you get paid. If you need all of it on Friday, the number comes down. Both are real deals, and we will show you the math for each.

Whether this beats listing depends on your house

Most sites in this business will not show you this comparison honestly, because one row of it does not favor them. Here it is anyway.

Selling to a cash buyer compared with listing with a real estate agent
 Selling to usListing with an agent
Commissions and feesNone. We are the buyer.Typically 5 to 6 percent of the sale price
Repairs before sellingNone. We buy as-is.Usually required, plus whatever the inspection turns up
Cleaning and showingsNone. One walkthrough.Ongoing, on a stranger's schedule
Who pays closing costsWe cover the standard costsCommonly split, varies by state
Time to closeAbout 1 to 3 weeks, or a date you pickRoughly 30 to 60 days after a buyer's offer is accepted
Risk of the sale falling throughLow. No lender involved.Real. A failed loan or a low appraisal can end it.
Likely sale priceBelow full retailFull market value if the house shows well

The last row is the trade-off, and we will not hide it. Selling to a cash buyer gets you speed, certainty, and no repairs at all. If your house is in good shape and you can wait, listing it will usually get you more money.

Where we buy

All fifty states. Every market page shows the current numbers for that market, not the same paragraph with a new city name. Nationally, the typical home is worth $369,000 and takes about 53 days to go under contract, as of August 2026.

Common questions

Do you make an offer on my house?
No, and that is on purpose. Almost everyone who calls us already knows what they need from the house. It might be clearing the mortgage, splitting an estate in probate, or paying for the next move. So we ask for your number instead of opening with ours. Then we do the math out loud. We start with what similar houses nearby have actually sold for. We take off what it will cost us to bring yours up to that condition, the costs of holding and reselling it, and our margin. If your number fits, we say yes. If it does not, we show you exactly where the gap is. We never try to talk you down.
Is there any cost or obligation to talk to you?
No, on both counts. There is no fee to tell us your number, no fee if we agree, and no fee if you walk away. We are the buyer, so there is no commission. We also pay the standard closing costs.
Will you pay full market value?
Usually not, and anyone who promises that is not being straight with you. We buy below full retail because we take on the repairs, the holding costs, and the risk of reselling. In exchange, you get speed, certainty, no repairs, no showings, and no commissions. For some houses and situations, that is clearly the better deal. For others, it is not.
How fast can you close?
When the title is clean, about one to three weeks. What slows things down is usually the title search and the loan payoff paperwork, not the money. Need more time, for a move or for probate to finish? We can set the closing date further out.
Do I need to clean or repair anything?
No. Not the roof, not the plumbing, not the carpet. You can leave furniture and belongings behind if you want. We buy houses in truly any condition.
Do you actually buy the house, or do you sell the contract to someone else?
We buy with our own funds. You are dealing with the buyer directly, which is why we can commit to a closing date and hold to it.
