A house that needs major work puts you in a hard spot. The repairs cost more than you have, or more than you want to manage — and a retail buyer's lender won't even fund a loan on a place that can't pass inspection. So the house sits, the problems get worse, and the pressure builds.
You're not avoiding the repairs because you don't care. You're stuck because the math and the timing don't work. It's exactly the situation we buy in.
Selling a house that needs work to Acorn means:
We buy as-is. Foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, water, fire, or structural damage — we factor it in and still make a cash offer.
You fix nothing. No repairs, no contractors, no quotes, no waiting on work to get done.
You clean nothing. Leave behind whatever you don't want. Take what matters to you and go.
No inspection to fail. We're cash buyers, so there's no lender requiring the house to pass anything.
No retail buyers walking away. No showings, no buyers spooked by the condition, no deals falling through over repairs.
No commissions or closing costs. We cover the closing costs. There are no agent fees.
You pick the closing date. As fast as about two weeks, or later if you need time.
Three steps. No repairs, no listing, no waiting.

Why people in Lincoln sell to us
We're not a national 1-800 number routing you to a call center three states away. We're a local Lincoln company that has bought and renovated over 100 houses right here since 2018. We know this market because we work in it every single day.
No repairs. We buy as-is. The leaky roof, the dated kitchen, the stuff in the basement — leave it. It's our problem now.
No commissions. You're not paying a 6% agent fee. There's no agent.
No closing costs. We cover them.
No renegotiating. We tell you what we can pay for the house. If that number works for you, we close — we don't come back later trying to knock it down.
You choose the timeline. Fast if you need fast. Slower if you need slower.
We'll be straight with you. If a traditional sale would genuinely put more in your pocket, we'll tell you that — even though it means we don't buy the house.
Real Lincoln neighbors. Real relief.
“I was stressed out trying to figure out what to do with my dad's house. I was losing sleep for months. One night while I couldn't sleep this company popped up on my Facebook. They came and looked at the house within a couple days. Then had an offer for us in a couple days. The process was so easy and painless. When they came back with their offer it was completely fair! They are very genuine people!”
“From the first phone call to closing, the entire process happened so much faster than I thought it would be. They kept us in the loop and told us step by step how the process was going to be. I would highly recommend Acorn Properties to anyone!”
Common questions
- What condition is too bad for you?
- There really isn't one. Foundation problems, roof damage, water or fire damage, mold, code violations, a house that's been sitting empty — we've bought houses in all of it. If you're not sure, call us and describe it. The worse the condition, the more it usually makes sense to sell as-is instead of pouring money into repairs.
- Do I have to make any repairs or clean it out?
- No. You don't fix anything and you don't clean anything. Take what you want, leave the rest, and we handle it from there. That's what “as-is” means here.
- Will the condition mean a lowball offer?
- Our offer is based on what the house will be worth after it's fixed up, minus what those repairs will cost us. The rougher the house, the bigger the repair number — that's just honest math, and we'll walk you through how we got to the figure so it isn't a black box. There's no pressure to take it.
- How fast can you close?
- You set the date. We can close in about two weeks if you need it fast, or push it out if you need more time to move. Your call.
Stop pouring money into a house you want to sell.
