Sell your Louisville house for cash
Louisville and Jefferson County merged into Louisville Metro, and the housing runs from shotgun houses in Portland and Germantown to post-war ranches in the South End. I'm based in Wichita and buy Louisville houses in any condition.

Close on the date you pick
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 Louisville: what to know
- Foreclosure in Kentucky
- Judicial (through the courts)
- Kentucky foreclosures go through the circuit court and end in a court-ordered sale by the master commissioner. That usually takes months, which often leaves time to sell first.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Louisville, the estate is usually handled through Jefferson District Court, probate (Kentucky's district courts handle probate).
- Which city your house is in
- When Louisville and Jefferson County merged into Louisville Metro in 2003, dozens of small cities inside the county, like Shively, St. Matthews and Jeffersontown, kept their own city governments. Which one your house sits in can change your city tax bill and who you deal with on code issues. I buy in all of them.
- Behind on property taxes in Kentucky
- In Kentucky, unpaid property taxes become a certificate of delinquency, which can be sold to a private buyer who then adds interest and fees on top. If you sell, the back taxes and those charges are paid off from the sale at closing.
What I hear from Louisville sellers
- Older shotgun and camelback houses that need a full rehab.
- Inherited homes that need to go through probate before they can be sold.
- Owners in a court foreclosure who want to sell before the commissioner's sale.
Louisville questions
Do you really buy houses in Louisville if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Louisville 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 Kentucky title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Kentucky, and can I still sell?
Kentucky foreclosures go through the circuit court and end in a court-ordered sale by the master commissioner. That usually takes months, which often leaves time to sell first. 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 Louisville. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through Jefferson District Court, probate (Kentucky's district courts handle probate). 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 Louisville?
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.
