Sell your Omaha house for cash
Omaha has a lot of older two-story houses in neighborhoods like Benson, Florence and South Omaha, alongside newer homes out west in Millard and Elkhorn. I'm based in Wichita and buy Omaha-area houses as-is, for cash.

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 Omaha: what to know
- Foreclosure in Nebraska
- Both are allowed
- Most Nebraska home loans are secured by a deed of trust, which allows a non-judicial trustee's sale after notice; loans written as mortgages are foreclosed in district court instead. The trustee's-sale route is the faster of the two.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Omaha, the estate is usually handled through Douglas County Court (Nebraska's county courts handle probate).
- Old lead in eastern Omaha
- Much of eastern Omaha is part of the EPA's Omaha Lead Superfund Site, where lead left from old smelting was cleaned out of residential yards. Many houses here were also built before lead paint was banned in 1978. I buy older Omaha houses as-is, lead paint and all.
- Behind on property taxes in Nebraska
- In Nebraska, the county treasurer can sell unpaid property taxes as a tax sale certificate. The certificate holder collects interest and, if the taxes stay unpaid, can eventually take the house. If you sell first, the back taxes are paid off from the sale at closing.
What I hear from Omaha sellers
- Older houses with aging foundations, basements that take water, or knob-and-tube wiring.
- Inherited houses that need to be sold while the estate is open in county court.
- Long-time rentals the owner is ready to sell, tenants and all.
Omaha questions
Do you really buy houses in Omaha if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Omaha and its suburbs across Douglas County and Sarpy County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Nebraska title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Nebraska, and can I still sell?
Most Nebraska home loans are secured by a deed of trust, which allows a non-judicial trustee's sale after notice; loans written as mortgages are foreclosed in district court instead. The trustee's-sale route is the faster of the two. 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 Omaha. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through Douglas County Court (Nebraska's county 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 Omaha?
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.
