We buy houses in Lexington and across Fayette County
Lexington’s housing is old enough that condition drives most of the calls we get. Inside New Circle Road the stock runs from 1900s shotguns and bungalows in North Limestone, Kenwick and Chevy Chase to 1950s and 60s ranches in Gardenside, Southland and Eastland. Those houses come with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, cast iron drains, original windows, and roofs on their second or third life. Outside New Circle you get 1970s to 90s split-levels and two-stories off Tates Creek, Nicholasville Road and Richmond Road, plus newer subdivisions in Hamburg, Masterson Station and off Leestown Road.
We buy in every one of those areas, and we price each house on its own block, not on a Fayette County average. A 1,100 square foot ranch in Cardinal Valley and a 1,100 square foot ranch in Chevy Chase are different offers, and we will tell you why.
Areas we buy in most: North Limestone, Kenwick, Chevy Chase, Gardenside, Southland, Eastland, Cardinal Valley, Meadowthorpe, Hamburg, Masterson Station, Tates Creek, Lansdowne, Stonewall, the student rental streets off Euclid, Rose and Woodland, and the older sections of Winchester Road and Versailles Road.
Houses we have bought in Lexington
3279 Bowie Drive (Gardenside area), an estate sale. The family was settling an estate and the house still held a lifetime of belongings. We closed with the estate on March 14, 2025, then donated the usable contents to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore rather than sending them to a dumpster. The renovation ran to new windows, exterior doors, HVAC, electrical and plumbing work, a new kitchen and bath, and new flooring. It sold to a new owner in August 2025. The family did not clean out a single closet. The house was built in 1974.
1926 Deauville Drive (off Versailles Road). Bought June 2, 2025 from the owners, who needed time after closing to finish moving. We bought it as-is and paid for the repairs ourselves, so there was no inspection contingency and no lender holding up the closing. It is now a long-term rental we still own.
1904 Leitner Court. A house that needed about $40,000 of work before any retail buyer could finance it. We bought it as it stood, did the work after closing, and it is now a long-term rental we still own. We closed on March 12, 2026.

Situations we see most in Lexington
Estates and inherited houses. Fayette District Court handles probate for Lexington estates. If the estate is open, your attorney will tell you when the executor can sign a deed. We will put the contract together in the meantime and close as soon as the court allows. The house can stay full. We clear it out after closing.
Student and long-term rentals near UK. Rentals off Euclid, Rose, Woodland, and in the blocks between campus and downtown wear out fast. We buy with tenants and leases in place. You do not have to wait for May.
Repairs a lender will not finance. Foundation movement, a failed roof, active water in the basement, old wiring. Buyers using FHA or VA loans cannot close on these, which is why they sit. We price the repairs into the offer and buy as-is.
Behind on the mortgage. Kentucky foreclosures go through the courts, which gives you more time than you may think, but not unlimited time. Our stop foreclosure page walks through the timeline and where a cash sale fits.
Divorce, job change, downsizing. A set closing date, no showings, and the house sold as it sits. Pick the date and we work to it.
How selling your Lexington house to us works

Get a cash offer within 24 hours. We look at the house and recent sales on your street, then give you a written, no-obligation number.
Pick your closing date. As little as 7 days, or months out if you need time. We close at a local title company.
We are the buyer, not an agent. No listing, no showings, no waiting on someone else’s loan. More detail on our How It Works page.
Closing costs and timing in Fayette County
We pay the normal closing costs, including the title company’s fees. What comes out of your proceeds is your mortgage payoff, any liens, prorated property taxes, and the Kentucky deed transfer tax, which state law puts on the seller. The title company shows all of it on the settlement statement before you sign. Fayette County property tax bills go out in the fall, so a sale between October and December usually means the current-year bill is prorated at closing.

Single-family, condos, townhouses, duplexes and small multi-family, and land. Tell us the property and we will tell you if it fits.
My house is in an HOA. Is that a problem?
No. We ask for the association contact so dues and any transfer fee are handled at closing.
