Sell your Birmingham house for cash
Birmingham has older neighborhoods like Ensley, Woodlawn and East Lake full of early-1900s houses, with newer suburbs over the mountain. I'm based in Wichita and buy Birmingham-area houses as-is, for cash.
Get a written cash offer usually within 24 hours. No repairs, no showings, no commissions, and you choose the closing date. When you call, you talk to Brayden, not a call center.

If you accept, a local title company handles the paperwork and you're paid at closing. If you don't, that's the end of it.

Selling in Birmingham: what to know
- Foreclosure in Alabama
- Non-judicial (no court case)
- Alabama foreclosures are usually non-judicial: after notice is published, the house is auctioned, typically at the county courthouse, without a court case. It can move quickly once it starts.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Birmingham, the estate is usually handled through Jefferson County Probate Court (Birmingham or Bessemer division).
- Two courthouses in one county
- Jefferson County is split into two court divisions, Birmingham and Bessemer, each with its own courthouse. Which one handles an estate or a property record depends on where the house is.
- Probate court keeps the deeds
- In Alabama the county probate court also records deeds, so the probate office is where your deed and any liens on the house are filed. Hoover sits partly in Jefferson County and partly in Shelby County, so a Hoover house may be on file in either one.
What I hear from Birmingham sellers
- Older houses with foundation, roof or termite damage that would scare off a retail buyer.
- Inherited homes that need to go through the probate court before they can be sold.
- Owners facing a non-judicial foreclosure, which can move quickly in Alabama.
Birmingham questions
Do you really buy houses in Birmingham if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Birmingham and its suburbs across Jefferson County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Alabama title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Alabama, and can I still sell?
Alabama foreclosures are usually non-judicial: after notice is published, the house is auctioned, typically at the county courthouse, without a court case. It can move quickly once it starts. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Birmingham. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through Jefferson County Probate Court (Birmingham or Bessemer division). I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work.
How fast can you close on a house in Birmingham?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
