We Buy Houses in Urbandale, IA — For Cash.

Why Urbandale Homeowners Sell to Us

Urbandale is a family-oriented suburb with a wide range of housing stock — from 1960s and 1970s ranches that filled in after Des Moines expanded northwest, to 1990s and 2000s developments along Plum Drive, to brand-new construction on the west side. That range means a wide variety of seller situations:

• Aging-in-place owners who've lived in the same Aurora Hills ranch since the kids were small. The house is paid off but needs 30+ years of updates that aren't going to happen before a move to assisted living or a kids' guest house.
• Adult children inheriting a parent's home in older Urbandale — often after years of deferred maintenance, with knob-and-tube wiring, original kitchens, and a basement that hasn't been touched since 1972.
• Tired landlords with single-family rentals near 86th & Hickman or in the Karen Acres area that have become more management than they're worth.
• Job-driven relocations — Urbandale has a heavy concentration of Wells Fargo, Federal Home Loan, and EMC Insurance employees, and transfers happen on tight timelines.
• Estate sales with the typical mix of probate complications, out-of-state heirs, and a property nobody wants to drive past every weekend to maintain.
• Code enforcement situations — Urbandale takes property maintenance seriously, and a few notices can quickly turn a long-term rental into a "let's just sell it" decision.

Older Urbandale homes don't scare us. We buy with deferred maintenance baked into our offer rather than demanding repair credits at closing.
