Sell a Hoarder or Cluttered House in New Braunfels — Leave It All, Take the Cash.
We buy hoarder houses and heavily cluttered homes across New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, and Comal County. Full contents included, no cleanout required, discreet cash close.
The Situation
What You're Facing
Hoarder and heavily cluttered homes are one of the most stressful properties to sell. Whether the situation belongs to you, an aging parent, a sibling, or a deceased family member whose home you now inherited, the physical volume of belongings inside can feel completely overwhelming. Estimates for professional cleanout services in Comal County typically run $5,000–$25,000+ for a Level 3–5 hoarding scenario, and that's before you deal with pest remediation, hazardous waste disposal, or biohazard cleanup. On top of that, most real estate agents won't list a hoarder house at all — and the ones who will require it be substantially cleaned out first.
Then there's the emotional weight. If it's a parent's home, sorting through 40+ years of belongings while managing family dynamics is genuinely difficult. If it's your own home, the situation may involve City of New Braunfels or Comal County code enforcement, HOA complaints in newer subdivisions, or concerned family members pushing for action you're not ready to take. If it's a rental you inherited, the tenant may have created the situation without your knowledge until now.
We offer a straightforward path: sell the property fully as-is with everything inside. Take out the items that are meaningful to you or your family — photos, documents, heirlooms — and leave literally everything else. We handle the entire cleanout after closing at our cost. We've bought homes with narrow walking paths between floor-to-ceiling belongings, garages packed to the rafters, hoarding involving multiple animals, and homes that were mid-cleanout when the seller decided it was too much. None of it changes our willingness to make an offer.
Privacy matters here. We don't list the property, we don't do open houses, and we don't post photos. If probate, inheritance, or family divorce dynamics are also in play, we work quietly with you or your attorney.
Why People Sell
Why New Braunfels Homeowners Choose to Sell
Cleanout Cost Is Prohibitive
Professional cleanout for a Level 3–5 hoarding scenario runs $5k–$25k+. Selling as-is means we absorb that cost, not you.
Elderly Parent Can't Live in It Anymore
The property has become unsafe for the current occupant. Selling funds a move to assisted living without a months-long cleanout process.
City or HOA Compliance Pressure
Code enforcement notices from City of New Braunfels or HOA violation letters in Vintage Oaks / Havenwood / River Chase can escalate to fines or forced action.
Family Members Are Overwhelmed
Adult children or siblings trying to help but living out of state, working full time, or emotionally drained. Selling delegates all of it.
Inherited Estate With Belongings Inside
Prior owner's decades of belongings still inside. Take what's meaningful, leave the rest — we handle disposal.
Discretion and Privacy Matter
You don't want neighbors, family, or the community seeing the interior condition. Private cash close, no listing, no showings.
The Hard Parts
Challenges Homeowners Run Into
Health & Safety Hazards Inside
Mold, pest infestation, biohazard, or structural risk from stacked belongings. We handle assessment ourselves — you don't need reports.
Animal Hoarding Situations
Homes with active or historical animal populations require specialized cleanup. We arrange it after closing.
Structural Damage Under the Clutter
Water damage, floor damage, or infrastructure issues often hidden by belongings. We factor into pricing without demanding pre-close inspection access.
Family Disagreement
Some family members want to sort through everything first. Others want it gone. We wait for consensus or work with the executor.
Insurance & Code Issues
Insurance may be canceled or in default. Code enforcement may have open cases. Not your problem after closing.
Sentimental Items Mixed With Trash
We can provide time before closing for family to remove meaningful items — heirlooms, documents, photos, jewelry.

As-Is Advantage
Benefits of Selling As-Is
Local Knowledge · New Braunfels & Surrounding Areas
We Know the Neighborhoods You Live In
Hoarder-property sales require discretion and a buyer who genuinely understands the situation — emotionally, physically, and financially. We've handled these transactions across New Braunfels and Comal County for years, always privately and always as-is.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We buy cluttered and hoarder homes across every New Braunfels area — downtown, Landa Park, Mission Hills, Oak Run, Walnut Springs, Gruene, Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, River Chase — plus Canyon Lake, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Cibolo, Schertz, and Seguin.
County Coverage
Code enforcement in New Braunfels city limits runs through the City of New Braunfels. Comal County handles unincorporated areas, and Guadalupe County covers Cibolo, Schertz, and eastern portions. Any open cases become our problem after closing.
Local Property Values
Hoarder-property offers are built on land value plus salvage value of the structure — not on comparable clean-house sales. That's the honest math.
Military Homeowners
Some hoarder situations involve retired military households in Cibolo, Schertz, or Garden Ridge whose surviving spouse needs a quiet, dignified transition. We handle those sensitively.
Inherited & Older Homes
Many hoarder-property sales are inherited estates where a parent's decades of belongings must be dealt with alongside probate. We coordinate with the executor and their attorney.
Local Market Conditions
Hoarder properties essentially cannot be listed on the MLS in their current condition. A cash sale to us is typically the only realistic exit — and we compete against other investors, not retail comps.
Service Area
Service area: New Braunfels, Gruene, Canyon Lake, Startzville, Sattler, Spring Branch, Bulverde, Garden Ridge, Cibolo, Schertz, Seguin, Marion, and McQueeney.
“Mom had lived in that house for 45 years and things had gotten out of hand the last decade. We couldn't face it. South Texas Home Investors was completely respectful, gave us three weeks to grab what we wanted, and closed quietly. No one else ever saw inside.”
