Selling a Hoarder House in Utah: How to Avoid Cleanup and Sell As-Is
Overwhelmed by a Hoarder House? You’re Not Alone.
Whether you’ve inherited a hoarder house or you’re trying to help a loved one, the thought of cleaning, repairing, and selling it the traditional way can feel impossible.
The good news? You don’t have to clean a single thing — not even take out the trash.
At Scout Peak Home Buyers, we buy hoarder houses in Utah as-is, in any condition, and we’re here to make the process as painless as possible.
What Is a Hoarder House?
A hoarder house is a home where excessive clutter, trash, or personal items have built up over time — sometimes to the point where it’s difficult or unsafe to live in.
These homes often have:
- Piles of items stacked floor to ceiling
- Rotting food, animal waste, or mold
- Pest infestations
- Major safety and code issues
- Unusable kitchens, bathrooms, or bedrooms
Whether the situation is mild or extreme, we’ve seen it before — and we’re ready to help.
Why You Don’t Need to Clean It First
Most sellers think they need to spend weeks (or months) cleaning and repairing a hoarder house before they can sell it. That’s just not true.
You can sell a hoarder house as-is — with everything still inside.
That means:
- No sorting or trash removal
- No junk hauling
- No deep cleaning or disinfecting
- No repairs or remodels
We’ll handle all of that after the sale. Just take what you want and leave the rest behind.
Why Selling a Hoarder House the Traditional Way Is Tough
If you try to list a hoarder house with a real estate agent, you’ll likely face:
- Expensive repairs and cleanup costs
- Buyers who are scared off by the condition
- Lenders that won’t finance the home
- Long time on market with no offers
Most real estate agents won’t even list a hoarder house unless it’s cleaned out and brought up to code. That could cost you thousands — and a lot of stress.
